Greetings all, I have successfully reduced my trimmings to a black tar, that tastes rather bitter and has the consistency of molasses. I found that I could firm up the oil by adding keif. The oil was created using Everclear/blender/trimmings/coffee filters then double boiled off the Everclear...

I started a new run with 5 plants (4 Green Crack and 1 Bubba Kush Pre 98. They are all running House and Garden Nutes under a 1000 watt hortilux in a Radiant 6 hood. At week 2 the GCs started to go yellow, then by the end of week two, 2 of the GC plant main stems were completely purple. The...

OK, so I talked with a local expert who tells me he has heard this story recently from 3 othre people. All of which are on the House qnd Garden products (aqua flakes a and b). any of you out there have issues with H&G? The guy gave me some General Hydro products (Flora Series) to try.

I hear and sincerely thank you for your advice on the over nute solution. We are flushing and lowering nute levels. As a test, we also brought in a 4 week old knee high that was lively and healthy as could be. This specimen is in soil and the only thing we have done was water it with RO...

We tried that also. We PHd the RO water to 5.8 and flushed the hell out of the plants. We did the ebb/flow thing for 15 minutes 1x per day for 2 days. We then went back to the recommended nutrient levels for week 1 (eventhough they were in week 3). They still went downhill. When you say...

Pics now posted. These pics are about week 2 and week 3. They go downhill from there to where all the leaves are dry and falling off the plant

I have posted before in regards to all my plants dying off after about the 2nd week of Bloom. We have experimented with nutrients, air flow, water, soil, hydro, ligthing, etc. We are now grasping at straws. COULD IT BE THE PAINT IN THE ROOM? I shot the entire room (floor excluded) with...

I just talked with the Hydro store. They suspect over watering? We water 15 minutes right before lights on and then 15 minutes 5 hours into the "day." The rockwool is very damp all the way up. They suggested not watering for a few days then going only once a day for 15 minutes 1 hour after...

Thanks for your reply. In our research you are now the 2nd one that has suggested a Nitrogen deficiency. I will be going to the hydro store today to see what we can purchase. Do you have any recommendations for a Nitrogen supplement?

Thanks for the relplies, we are flushing with RO water. The PH of that water is about 6.5.

NEW DATA JUST IN: I removed water from one of the Grodan Slabs in my Sea of Green. The Ph of the water was at 7.0. We conditioned it with Ph 5.0 water for 5 hours before use????? (The slabs did sit idle for a few days before we put plants on). Any comments? Anybody at all?

Another Update: We increased airflow to the room. Here are the latest pictures. I am about to burn down the room. I just don't get it.

So I discoverd that the PH meter was off (despite me calibrating it every week). Got a new on and right out of the box, the PH of the reservoirs was about 6.5. (other meter read 5.5). I removed some water from the rockwool and found the PH of the rockwool was 7.0+ Could this be a PH...

Greetings, I am very new at this and have been reading the numerous threads to try and figure out my situation. This is a freshly built out room. Here is the situation: The plants start great (out of veg) with great color. Within a week of bloom start, the leaves start fading from a rich...
