    Transplanting seedlings

    Hi all, Random question that I wasn't able to find info on (maybe my search skills needs improving): When I transplanted my seedlings, from an aerogarden to soil, one of my seedlings had a very long taproot. When I move a plant like that into soil, should I move it as-is, or should I trim...

    Yellowing sugar leaves - pH or nutes?

    Indeed it does! Adding 1/4tsp of the Flora Nova Bloom nutes to a gallon of tap water brings the pH down on its own to ~6.7 - so I figured giving it a little further bump by adding a little ph down would take care of balancing the ph. I had thought that the soil would help adjust the ph...

    Yellowing sugar leaves - pH or nutes?

    And I also realize that this is a loaded question - but could FFOF + 1/4tsp of Flora Nova Bloom be too much or too little nutes? I figured, out of context, 1/4tsp of FNB is on the lighter side, but since this plant hasn't looked underfed in any way, I shouldn't raise the nute levels. And it...

    Yellowing sugar leaves - pH or nutes?

    I do have a TDS meter, but I frankly dont know what conversion from EC it uses. And yes, by plain water I meant tap water, sorry. Tap water measures 70-75 ppm and 8.0 pH. Even though the pH is very high, it also doesn't take much pH down to adjust it (I'm guessing because of the low ppm)

    Yellowing sugar leaves - pH or nutes?

    I've been adjusting my plain water down to at least 6.5 (around 6.0-6.5), but I havent been re-measuring pH after adding nutes - figured adding light nutes would slightly lower pH but keep it at a good level. Thanks for the thought that pH may be too high - it definitely was during veg, and...

    Yellowing sugar leaves - pH or nutes?

    Hi all, I got a White Widow Skunk plant in soil, late flowering: - 5 weeks into flowering - Fox Farms Ocean Forest - Using Flora Nova Bloom (began feeding 2 weeks in flowering) - LED light (Advanced XTE300) - currently pulling ~150w; was 18" away until this week, moved it to ~30" away The tops...

    Nute coloring or root rot?

    Thanks, guys! Is it fine too, then, that the new growth is a bit warped (they look like basil leaves)? just not used to seeing anything like it.

    Nute coloring or root rot?

    Tent temp has been at around 70-75 (it was a little warmer last week, 75-80). Humidity according to a hygrometer I trust is at 60%. I always worry about these cheap pH meters. I just used pH drops, it seems to match up with ~6. At the moment, there's no smell to the roots. It's not any slimier...

    Nute coloring or root rot?

    Hi all, and sorry - I've been looking at pictures of root rot, and I still can't tell whether I've got it or if it's just stained roots from nutes. Figure I ask! Growing in DWC, using r/o water. water temp is 64 ph has been at 5.8-6.0 steady at 300ppm using Flora Nova Bloom The new growth on...

    Water chillers?

    Idk if it's worth mentioning at this point, but with my chiller, I do use a wort chiller (coil) with it. I circulate plain water and algacide through the chiller so that I don't have to worry about nute build-up in the chiller itself

    Water chillers?

    Using the 1/10 for a 20 gal dwc, absolutely worth it

    Start seedling directly in hydroton?

    I started using grow stones - hydroton is great, but they were a pain to step on

    Truth about roots in dwc

    When I leave space for air in my dwc tub, the roots that stay permanently exposed grow excessively thick; the surface hardens, too, which led me to think that they actually end up not breathing too well at all

    HELPPP!!!! How have you beaten root rot

    -Plenty of aeration - I think a denser root mass might require more air stones (or some other way to make sure there's abundant DO everywhere) -lower the temps - I ran into a pathogen issue in my current dwc. I was advised to lower res temps down to 64F - I don't think it hurt -bennies: I use...

    Advice on light being too close

    Yeah, at <1ft it's warm. Don't have a clip fan, and I'm kind of worried about the strength of this tent, so I might pop by somewhere and pick up a cheap tiny fan. Recall reading somewhere else, too, that minimizing heat, even with LEDs, would be helpful. Ime the light bleaching has a delayed...

    Advice on light being too close

    Had supercropped all the taller branches this morning, and these pics were just taken. Looks like they're staying down for now. Light is now about 10 inches from the top of the canopy. Not perfect, but it'll have to do. Thanks for the help! More like moral support and hand holding haha, but it...

    Advice on light being too close

    Kind of random question - is there a certain point in flower when I should stop bending branches, or am I good to bend/tie until harvest?

    Advice on light being too close

    They have stopped growing for about a week. BUT, a day after bending branches down, it seemed like they popped back up and even grew a little bit above the bend. I don't have any anchor points at the moment.. I spent a few minutes before work trying to something out, but was unsuccessful...
