    2 weeks later the vegging plants are taller but still no Vigor. Purple woody stems and dropping leaves. Seems to be everywhere on the forums but no fix other than be told it's over watering , which I am not sure it is. I am letting the coco coir dry considerably between watering, unlike every...

    over or under feeding?

    Thanks for stopping in. This last week my plants have taken a turn for the worst, not sure if its due to toxicity or deficiency? Since changing watering from spraying for 10 sec every 20 minutes to a Flood & drain system the leaves have looked ever so droopy. I have not had much luck with...

    This last week the plants have taken a turn for the worst, not sure if its due to toxicity or deficiency? Since placing in the Flood & drain the leaves have looked ever so droopy. I have not had much luck with flood & drain in the past, it always produces a similar result. I only water 3 times...

    Second Week of veg issues.

    I am amazed by the arrogance of some members! 4 weeks @ 400PPM / 0.8EC

    PPM too low?

    I take my cuttings and put them in the cloner with fresh tap water only. After 5-10 days they all have small roots showing. When the roots start to show, I add nutrients until the water level is 100ppm / 0.2EC. I also adjust PH to 5.5-6.0. After a further week in the cloner the roots should...

    I spent a good few hours constructing the 18 site system. The junction fittings purchased made for a bit of a tighter fit than anticipated but got it within the tent dimensions after a bit of manipulation. Watering method is flood & drain. Plants moved in I built the screen with some wire...

    The plants are now 4 weeks old. I would have preferred to complete veg under SCROG screen after about 2-3 weeks but had to take down the 4x8 tent for a rental inspection.

    Great news yeah I had inches of roots in my PVC too, thought they would be a bit mouldy when I pulled the plants but they were white as ever... the 6" costs twice as much, but its probably the way to go considering I may bump my veg time up to 2 months

I'm about to build a new system I'm thinking flood & drain in the PVC, 1+ month veg and 2 month flower, trying to visualize my 6 inch grow's roots in 4 inch pipe.... I see you flower yours pretty much from the get...

    Cheers man! So after a month of veg I should be able to lift the net pots from the veg tent into the flower tent. After this time the roots will have developed nicely, I'm thinking maybe a simple flood and drain during flowering is the way to go
