    Newbe dwc problems

    I never used H202, I just brew beneficial tea, helps the roots intake nutrients instead of hurting them plus stops any root slime. One cup in 5 gallons, once a week keeps the slime away.

    Bubbleponic ppm levels

    I'm following GH re circulating chart and keeping my ppm slightly higher than 1000 ppm or 2.0 E.C. and my plant is showing nitrogen toxicity, what does everyone else keep their EC levels at for Grow, Micro & Bloom series?

    Is it normal for pistils to start turning orange 4 weeks into flower and they keep changig color

    I'm still trying to fix it, last evening when tending to her, I noticed a few leaves in the middle of the plant showing magnesium deficiency. I was adjusting my DWC water up to 250 ppm with cal-mag before addding nutrients but I guess it wasn't enough. I gave her the full dose of...

    Is it normal for pistils to start turning orange 4 weeks into flower and they keep changig color

    I'm having the same problem and from my research, I can say that if all pistils on a bud turn orange early, that bud has stalled it's growth. Try and fix the problem to get them growing again. It is normal to have some turn darker and more grow over it but when they all turn brown and are...

    sativas ?

    I am growing one in DWC right now, I know that at first I had nutrients over 2.2 EC and they were fine but I find that when they start to flower their nutrient tolerance reduces. I am now at 1.9 and still have a bit of nutrient burn on leaf tips.

    NEED ADVICE ON TEMP AND HUMIDITY

    I see, but 25% RH is still lower than recommended levels for flowering. Depending on how well you vent your grow area and how many plants you have, those levels might increase during flowering since the plants release a lot of moisture in the air when they flower. Your dehumidifier will be...

    Need help with training, topping, super cropping??

    Haha, you chose mainlining, I suggested it. For your first grow maybe just mainline a slingshot, "Y" that's what I did. You might not have the patience to mainline all the way to 8 colas the first time. It can take 2 months maybe more depending how well you grow to mainline to 8 colas. Just make...

    NEED ADVICE ON TEMP AND HUMIDITY

    Dimming light will reduce yield for sure. You can only give too much light if your plants are too close to the light, that distance depends on how cool your light is and the type of light. I have a 600W and I try to keep the tops at least 14" from the very well vented bulb. Too close to the bulb...

    You might have had too many plants in your grow area? The affected buds on mine are directly under the light.

    Possible that it is too much light but she is at least 14" away from the 600W HPS bulb. What ever it is, i'm giving it until mid June and she's coming down, I have 6 BC bluberry seedlings in the veg room right now, they are next and i'm scrapping the whole bagseed shit. I had hermies last grow...

    NEED ADVICE ON TEMP AND HUMIDITY

    Because if you are trying to vent air out, you need a negative pressure in your tent or grow area. More air in will result in positive pressure. This will cause odors to leak out of the tent. You want odor's only way out to be through the 6" fan, not though your zippers and tent vents + your...

    NEED ADVICE ON TEMP AND HUMIDITY

    I have a 4" fan sucking in cool air on the tent floor( not pushing) and an 8" fan sucking air out through the light's hood. MY 8" fan is in the attic connected to a 6" flexible duct sucking air out of the tent and venting it through my house's roof vents. When it comes to inline fans, it is...
