No it won't hurt. Just squeeze the cup a little bit around the outside. I put my hand over the top with the stem between my fingers. Turn it over and it should slide right as long as it's not too wet. Then examine and put back in. Take a pic and post it so we can see. They probably just need to...
When PH, you have to give it time. Take a gallon, add some drops. Wait 15-30 mins, test again. If you don't have a good digital PH meter, get one. And yes PH matters. 6.0-7.0 is optimal for soil.
No. Only flush if you have nute probelms, like burn or lockout. You don't have to flush at the end of the cycle either (last 2 weeks). Most people do, but it is still highly debatable whether it makes a difference.
Man, not sure how you are going to keep that plant low enough to not hit those lights. From the pic, it looks like you only have about 12 inches or so from the light to the top of the plant. You better start LST'ing now.
I have always had success by doing 12hrs in a cup of distilled water. Then another 12hrs using damp paper towel. I take two paper plates put the paper towels/seeds in between. Then put that in a plastic bag, not sealed. Then leave in a warm place for 12hrs. I put it on top of my cable box, works...
I haven't updated in a while so I figured I'd posted an update. I'm having my best grow so far. This is my AK48, 5 weeks flower. This is growing in my DIY cabinet that I built and posted a while back. I think it looks pretty good. I also spilt the Y branch/main stem about an inch or so 2 weeks...
I will also say this. If I knew what I know now a year ago, I probably wouldn't buy the MRGROWPRO. Don't get me wrong, I like it, and I think it does a decent job. I just really like my DIY cabinet that I built much much better and it was half the cost, plus it's bigger. I am no handy man type...
I've had one for almost a year. On its third grow now. Still haven't changed it. Works gas expected. Any plant is going to smell some. How much is depending on the strain. So far northern lights was the worst for me. I've also done a bubbleicious and AK48, the smell less strong on those. I...
Can't really see much wrong other than those few tiny spots. Most yellowing is neither an Nitrogen def, PH problem, or cal/mag def. need more pics to see the yellowing. I'd say it's fine for now though.
Need some pics man. Also what week of flower are you in? 1100 isn't all that high if you are a few weeks into flower. Mine at 5 weeks and I'm in the 900 range. After you flushed, did new leaves become burnt? Did you do a complete flush?
Haha, I'm not high and had to read that a few times. It makes sense. Growing is already complicated enough though. I think I'll stick with the thinking that if the ppm runoff is higher than the feed ppm then there may be a problem. :)
AK48 is super fast. Fairly easy to grow just gotta be careful to go real easy on nutes in the beginning and that's it. NL is good but not as fast or potent, but slightly more forgiving to mistakes. Either way you can't go wrong. I'd recommend the ak48. Both form nirvana.
