You are always better off to get clones that you know are female and have seen the finished product for the first run, just to get you started. This will speed up the process of your important run. Once they are started, you can germinate and sex out the seeds. I recommend taking cuttings...

At minimum you need to slow down the fan speed, but you also want to keep the temp within the correct range. I'd like to recommend that you use a humidifier or leave open water in the room (bucket, towel, etc.) The problem with this is that you dont want there to be high RH in the dark cycle...

Check out this video by Monster Gardens about flushing your plants. Good tips and tricks, plus some recomendations of products to use before the plain water leach. Good luck! -Cheif http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1TcXKqKFhw

Here is a video that was done by a reliable company that talks about the different ways that you can flush your plants, the proper way to do it, and recommendations for when to flush. Hope this helps! -Cheif http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1TcXKqKFhw

looks like a lock out for sure. You are better off doing a weekly or at least every other week flush with plain water, water with carbs, teas, or expensive PK boosters. When you feed high PK on top of the rest of the feed regimen, it is easy for the ppm/EC to be too much for the plants to...

FloaT VALVES ARE A MUST WITH R/O. Im sorry that you had to learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, the PSI changes from place to place, so there is not always the most accurate gallon per hour/day ratios on the boxes. Highly recommend the float valves for ANY and ALL applications with water...

I'm not sure why everyone is out there looking for the best solutions for building their soil, and looking for the best combination of organic amendments. Why wouldn't you want to take the work out of it and go with a pre-mixed bag that comes from a quality company. Not the Foxfarm, Botanicare...

I would just use Massive. It has all of those products in one bottle instead of 6. Its up to you though, different strokes for different folks. Just keep in mind that the more expensive a nutrient line, does not mean that they are pulling from a more expensive "secret Earth"

Kind of a large pot to begin the seedling in, but lets just not make you look bad and say that this is a mother and accidentally forgot to "root ball" them in small pots first. However, I feel that the reason that this is happening is because the soil blend that you are in is too hot (too many...

Ya that wasnt the smartest thing you could have done to that fresh tap root. It looked fine to me, maybe a little over watered which is why it didn't have any other roots. It might come back in that new cube. I also do the plastic bag/turkey bag trick to keep the humidity up around those...

The first piece of advice i can give any new grower, is to take advantage of all of the resources that are out there. Just a few years ago, there was not nearly as many people openly talking about growing or "how to grow." These guys have always been "in the know" with the hydro industry, have...

Personally, that does not look like bud rot. What you want to look for is grey fuzzy looking mold growing on the inside of the bud. So you can peal back the tops (not to where they are breaking) and check. If you just start yanking the leaves out, this is how you prolong the mold and make it...

It looks to me like there is a lock out and/or a salt build up. That is good that you flushed it out. Did you happen to check the pH and/or PPM of the runoff water? I feel like you are feeding the plants a little much on top of what is already in the soil. Continue to flush, or at least just...

There isn't too much of a heat difference with all of the CFL's running, HPS does still run slightly hotter. I would just recommend with running ducting from the exhaust fan out a window, or from the window to the intake fan. This will allow the heat to completely leave the room (or heat to...

Either way is fine. You should most likely leave them in there for a little bit longer to ensure that you have plenty of established roots in the cube. Just don't let the cubes become too waterlogged, keep spraying the leaves, and they should begin to send out plenty of roots once they sense...

You will be fine with height, just a little bit tight if you veg for too long, or you do not use any tie down points or trellis netting. I would recommend getting more than 1 plant in there and only veg for a couple of days to 1 week. This will be a scrog style, but will not limit your height...

Store it: dark, cool, on the dry side Some people keep them in air tight containers that don't let in any light. When kept properly, you would be surprised how long pollen lasts

It is fine to do without the nutrient lines, but you will need to supplement in other nutrients that contain the micro and macro nutes that your plants need. It is easy to get a "one-part" nutrient that contains a lot of everything that you need to grow successfully. If you get a soil blend...

The stretch will slow down, but you shouldn't see them come to a halt. My first thought is lock out man. It is such a common mistake, especially for newer growers. What soil are you in? Is it nearly as hot as the miracle grow you are using? If so, you should flush with ph water and test your...

Spider mites will only stay around if there is something there for them to feed on (plant foliage). They tend to scatter to house plants, outside plants, go dormant in soil, or just die off. You should have nothing to worry about, unless there is something other than plant pests in your house
