    DIY Grow Tent

    Several things should be mentioned here then shack... Seed to harvest in 80-90 days is going to be something that will result in premature buds and a frustrated grower. Let's take a good look at what a realistic timeline in soil will be, shall we? I would say 30 days from seed breaking ground...

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    Also just read this on your nutes site: Oneness and pH buffering When oneness is initially added to water it displays a very low pH. However, If oneness is left in solution for 24hrs the solution will buffer itself up to a more desirable pH range, between 5.5 and 7.0. There is no need to add...

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    I see your using a foliar spray, if you want root development you need to stop feeding the leaves directly. Use RO water over distilled and distilled over tap that has sat for any number of hours. When tap water evaporates it gets rid of the chlorine but if you have overly hard or overly soft...

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    He said the top 4" were dry... but the spill was still partially full... Not sure he has root rot, but a constantly damp root mass is definitely inviting to rot. I'm thinking he has a shy root ball or his roots are developing straight down and not so much out. I'm thinking take the spill tray...

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    Pretty sure your over watering and I gave you help earlier. Not all plants are on the same feeding schedule. Growing pot is not like baking a cake. ~GG420

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    You need to let it dry fully out, quit flushing it. If your not using RO water pH'd correctly you are asking for pythium, not to mention your purposely over watering when you flush. Let it dry completely and water with Hygrozyme and Vegan Compost Blend from GH or Root Juice... this is the...

    FF Ocean Blend may be a bit strong to start a seedling in. I recommend starting the seedlings in a weaker nuted soil or in a soil-less mix all together. Peat moss, vermiculite, coco coir, perlite use one or use them all together. I use promix seedling blend...

    How to check roots, 5g bucket.

    Looks to me to be over watering. Just a guess. Let it dry out and give it a good watering and see how that works. ~GG420

    NEW NFT (nutrient film technique) SOG SETUP

    223 plants in a 4x8, now I know your green behind the ears. A lot of reading and no growing experience. Good luck getting that many plants in that space, two plants vegged properly will fill that space better and give you more buds than a mini SoG. Since you also sound like your new to the...

    I'll draw a picture real fast. L= line N= neutral G= ground The cord is not so important, you can use a 2 prong plug and just omit the G circuit above. I used a 3 prong plug from an extension cord with the end cut off. Also I still recommend using no intake fans and using them all for...

    The plant is a blue bonnet, your state flower, they don't grow up here we had some seeds sent from home to grow about 6 months ago. Gotta love yankee land. :( I'm home sick unless you cannot tell. Yeah the fans work great at full speed as well. I am just pointing out that a 120vac fan will...

    Here are a couple of my current LST projects: Mini Skunk #1: Large Skunk #1: Also I want to set the record straight on fans you can use and how you can use them. How to use a (12VDC) PC cooling fan: 12vdc fans are used in computers, I use them when I need a small amount of cooling, a...

    Looking good, I think that the 125W light is going to do well for your veg, adding more 100W equivalent CFLs will do you nothing more than help. They are smaller and fairly efficient and low heat producers. place them all around your plant at 2-3" away and add a fan for circulation and to...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Unless your roots are everywhere and crazy there is no way rockwool is going to survive this system on a 1 on 5 off schedule. Your going to drown your plants. Put the rockwool in a DWC and veg it as a mom and take some aeroponic clones and work your way through the system. Speaking from...

    DIY Grow Tent

    You might consider rigging some tiny ducting to force the air out as well as light proof your exhaust, two birds one stone right. Looking good though, I see your working out the kinks first and taking your time, something most take for granted. ~GG420

    The dripper is not a bad idea or design, but the only thing that is going to get you more displacement is a larger pump. Also your system will fail if the seal breaks, there are other drippers out there that use an air line inside a water tube and the air line stops just above the bottom of the...

    DIY Grow Tent

    With a setup like this simple is always better, I suggest a number of things here. 1. Use a passive intake and active exhaust, basically some vent holes on the bottom of the tent will suffice. 2. I don't see 12v DC fans in your parts list only 120v AC fans and they will not run on 5v or 12v...

    First Grow Journal

    Hey, I would LST the tall lanky plants and lower your flouros, also man what the heck is this? Is that an incandescent bulb? Do your self a favor and remove it quick, put a 100W equivalent CFL on it and maybe a few more flouros or CFL bulbs surrounding your plants. It looks like your feeding...
