Find a place to grow with electricity. This is obviously your first time so don't make it more complicated than it has to be. A generator in the middle of the woods is way more sketchy than a 600w HPS in your closet.

no. not an Mg deficiency. Why would you think that? If anything, it looks like a Phosphorus def but I dont think thats it either as any "bloom" formula would have sufficient levels of P in it. Why are you flushing if you suspect a nutrient deficiency? The yellow leaves look like N deficiency...

Your bulb is touching those leaves and burning them.

Looks like a PhosNitrissium deficiency to me. Seriously though. "calmag" is calcium and magnesium (and usually nitrogen). Its not too bad but it looks like calcium. If those little chlorotic spots on the leaf become yellow/orange necrotic spots and the leaf gets brittle, it is Ca. Are the tips...

The best thing you can do is the thing that you can't/won't do. Pruning lower branches and removing large fan leaves to open up the plants will prevent pockets of high humidity and stagnant air. Large colas are often easy targets for botrytis. Keep larger floral clusters from touching one...

A lot of misinformation. Seems like the OP was an enthusiastic newbie who skimmed a wikipedia entry or two, swiped a few pics off random grow sites and decided this gave him credibility enough to whip up a book report that would impress even newer newbies who wouldn't bother to do any research...

3 gallon pots would be capable of growing monster plants with coco. I wouldnt go that high unless you were planning on growing huge plants. It is a waste of coco and can lead to problems with saturated medium and stunt root growth esp if using multiple feedings per day.

I use Botinicare's CocoGro 5kg blocks. I hydrate them with tap water and haven't had any problems. Plants are in mid flower now. I don't have any experience with other brands so I suppose you may want to take a reading before planting anything.

Keep an open mind or blindly follow baseless theories that seem obviously flawed even on the surface? If you can provide me a rational explanation as to how spraying carbonated water on your plants provides CO2 that will improve growth, I would listen and consider your argument. I won't even...

How could you possibly know that the coco was the cause? Did you run a controlled experiment? What do you mean by "unbuffered"? And to state the obvious, there are many different brands of coco with many different variations in quality. I use botinicare coco and i did nothing by hydrate the...

I would recommend learning what you are doing.

You cut shoots or leaves? I think you are confused as to the different parts of the plant. The internodes are where the secondary branches meet the main stem (or any secondary branch off a stem). The petioles are the "leaf stems". The petioles connect the leaves to branches, often at...

SOG is a "perpetual" yield method. So every couple weeks you get a harvest. It is usually done with rooted cuttings. I don't think 12/12 from seed would be ideal for this method. Not to mention thats a shitload of seeds. The plants are pruned to produce a single cola. A 32 plant SOG would...

bendy straws? Are you serious? You can't get something better from the HVAC section at a big hardware store? Sounds incredibly inefficient. Exhaust it into the room and cool the room with a window fan. Id imagine you could run them in reverse or just flip them backwards. And don't worry about...

Can you recommend one?

Not worth it. It is used to feed beneficial bacteria in soil. IMO, it does little for indoor potted plants in any medium.

That is so minor, I wouldnt go treating it just yet. The plant looks helthy overall and you might end up doing more harm than good.

cut it off and inspect the plant for other affected areas.

Maxibloom through veg and flower @ 7g/gal. Also use Botinicare's "Cal-Mag Plus" due to "soft" tap water and DynaGro's "Protekt" as a silicon supplement and a pH down. I buy them from either Amazon or a local hydro shop. To the OP, I don't believe using Superthrive is recommended for...

These things turn into bushes with a ton of "tops" during flower. I have a C99 cut taken from a flowering plant and it is insane right now.
