    Removing nutrients from soil?

    The soil my seedlings were in overfed the plants with nutrients, causing some burns. Is there any way to reduce the nutrient content of a potting soil? Thanks guys!:weed:

    Plants Growing incredibly slow- Help Please

    I know that Fox Farm Ocean Forest has some seaweed in it. I have heard that can overnute plants, but it cant possibly be as bad as miracle grow 3 moth feeding potting soil. Would someone recommend me to switching to that in stead? Is there any way to take the nutrients out of the soil to make it...

    Plants Growing incredibly slow- Help Please

    i am hopefully reducing both forms of "hot" by raising the lights, placing the fan into a better position, and minimizing watering, directly to the root stem. Ant thoughts to this plan? Checked the ph and it is 6.5.

    Plants Growing incredibly slow- Help Please

    i think it may be a combination of the lights being too close and the soil being too hot. Hopefully I can get them past this with careful monitoring to the point where they are more able to handle the enhanced nutrient load. May take a bit longer, but hey i am in it for the experience as a first...

I was thinking that if i put the 600 directly over the lights, with the 175's mounted at a 45 degree angle on the top of the wall, It would increase light...

    Thx for the feedback. Could I set it up with ducting >240 cfm fan> carbon filter on the outside for the hot air exhaust and separate intake from left of the room>ducting> cooling tube/light> ducting> duct booster to exterior. That way the light is being cooled with the coldest possible...

    I have a 4x4 grow room with a 600w HPS and 2 150w MH's (mounted on the wall at the top at 45degree angles to expose more plant surface to light). The 600w has a tube cooled hood that i will be venting with a inline fan and some ducting. The room will also have a secondary heat exhaust at the top...
