FFLW is not meant to be used as a stand alone medium. It's good for your seedlings and clones (not a lot of fertilizers in it). Try one part of ocean forest and 1/2 part happy frog and light warrior your next time or maybe just switch to Ocean Forest next time. You will have to resort to some good bottled fertilizers to keep your plants healthy that are in your Light warrior. Treat it as if it was an inert medium, something like promix.thanks dst, i dont have to worry bout heat either imusin floeresents i actually have a heater in the grow room cuz it gets to cold without, ive been having a problem with the plant in ff light warrior, some of the leaves are yellowing and getting brown spots in the leafs and is progressing slowly, im not sure what it is, also could that be do to beingrootbound cuz the plant in fflw, has its roots cominout the bottom after only 14 days in a 5 gal bucket,also does anyone know what the ph that i should be using for soiless mixes, i heard its different then soil, and i just found that out the other day and realized i was using a soilless mix, the guy at the hydro store said it was soil, so ive been watering it with water phed at 6.5 is that to high and coul that be my leaf prob
"one is in ff light warrior, and the other in some cheap shit, i was low on cash". Fox Farm is cheap shit. Miracle gro is the only cheaper shit that I can think of.
Brown spots could be a cal/mag deficiency due to no cal/mag or possibly pH being too low.
And yes....give your plants a dark period as JT suggests. The 12-1 lighting schedule in veg is what I use. Saves a little on electricity and plants love it.
