    Damaged leaves

    Greetings, I have my second 5 gallon hydro grow in the beginning stages of flowering. However, this week I noticed some damaged leaves. I see no bugs in or around my tent or on the plants. Does anyone have any ideas? Please see images

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    It's a bummer for sure, I love smoking just to relax, but its not worth losing my job. I just like having a hobby, something to do always. Working on cars, wood work, growing, all things I like to do, can learn and grow from, and become valuable. I am currently not in a place that allows it...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    A.K.A., thanks for the reply. I knew it would be a more difficult strain to deal with but I'm down for the challenge. Presently I am only growing one at a time. No need for a large grow and I want to dial in my process first. The very best part about this (you guys are all going to love...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    I noticed I had a bit of slime in my first two res changes, then when I started to cover the hydroton with a mylar sheet its practically zero when I change it out, it would coat my air lines the first few weeks. Also as far as water, distilled has a reasonable swing for me, but my tap was...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Well, to anyone who may be following this... I did another change with distilled water (I was unable to get the RO water yet, and by unable I mean too lazy to drive the 15 mins when distilled is 2 mins away..., however when I do go I have about 12 x 5Gallon water jugs I can fill up and only go...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    I have used 5 Ml calmag per gallon in all of my water types, when doing experiments, I try to only change one variable at a time if possible.

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Thanks for that insight. I may end up doing a mix of tap and RO just for the positive qualities in each. The bad thing with my tap (like you said it varies greatly) is the ph swing in less than 24 hours was more than 1.3. Not so great. My distilled was about 1 in 4 days. And when I do my next...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Well for anyone following this thread, tap water certainly caused the swing as ecery other variable was the same but for the change to distilled water. I did go to Walmart and found out that they do indeed have an RO machine here. And much cheaper than my distilled which is about .89 a gallon...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    I refuse to use ebay based on a bad experience. My account was hacked and I decided I would close it. But since I had "made a purchase" within 90 days (by said hacker) they wouldn't let me close it. Instead I had to change all my security info, and it got hacked and had purchases made again...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Definitely not in the budget this grow. Maybe one or two down the road. Ideally I'd love to have one. And I know in the end I'll save money on what I spend on distilled from the store. I'm hoping tomorrow to get to my local walmart and find out if they have an RO refill machine. My distilled...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    I did notice after 24 hrs of using the distilled that it only jumped .5 instead of 1.4 so that's already reassuring. I'm still planning to go to my local walmart to find out if I can get RO water. I'm pleased to find at least it's a slower rise. I actually like the concept of a ph swing to...

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Temp is a steady 67°. Unless my water thermometer is wrong. But don't think so. Just did a res change today using distilled water so I will find out tomorrow if it makes a difference. The PPMS were about 850 when I dumped the old water, seemed high but didn't check it at the previous res change.

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    Hmm haven't even thought of that. I do have an airstone, was thinking of getting a second after watching all the HHT DWC videos on YouTube. Thanks for that insight

    Water and PH spikes? Please help?

    I am only on my second grow ever, first grow was in soil and I had a lot of issues. I wanted to downsize my operation while bettering my growing techniques before I add more plants. Right now doing a BB x WW in a premade Hydro bucket (5Gal) My question is about water and PH. I started a...

    Holes in leaves. Help?

    My buddy sent me these pictures. So far only 2 of his 4 outdoor plants is affected but he has no way to zoom in to see if or what kind of bugs it may be. Any advice as to the problem and solution? Greatly appreciated. Seems to be near the tops of the plants. I have another but RIU seems to...

    Hermie bananas at harvest?

    You're right. First grow didn't know what they were, can see a clear difference now that I know what a calyx is. Thanks so much. Should I do anything with them or leave them to dry and fall off?
