    White (mold?) substance on top of medium. Halp.

    The plants look healthy, I don't see an issue. If the white substance on the soil is a fungus you can use a hydrogen peroxide solution as a fungicide.

    I put my seedlings in super soil, can I save them?

    I experiment all the time, great way to learn. I also keep a log of what works and what doesn't so that I can break down the steps required to grow successfully to just a few simple rules. Saves me from having to many headaches related to being over technical about something that should be simple.

    Several small Walmart LED's vs popular LED grow lights.

    I tried what you are doing and it was a hassle constantly moving wires and bulbs around the tent, and for the same price I could buy a 2', 4 bulb hoT5 light with reflector. It didn't use much electricity either. I think it was $5 a month to run? You can use whatever K rated bulb range you want...

    Another ? On Walmart dirt

    A friend started some seedlings in Hyponex but didn't have very good luck because the nutes in the mix depleted very quickly. He added some Espoma Garden Tone fert. to it on the next batch and had much better results. You could try that? FFOF is good soil, but way over priced in my opinion. I...

    Top or Forget It

    I do understand the stages of growth. I can't give the plants anymore light than they are getting because they are outdoor. Working with sunlight, all you have is the light provided unless I'm missing something? 15 hours, 47 minutes currently of daylight

Day length: 15 hours, 47 minutes currently My question is, they seem to have stretched a lot in the last couple weeks, am I too late to top the plants to stop the stretching, and...

    Seeds from a herme????

    My friend was given some seeds 10 years ago and has been planting the seeds from previous harvests every year since. He has no clue what the strain was. A "few seeds" to him are a small palm full on every bud! That's a lot to me? I'm pretty sure he has caused a lot of issues with the strain...

    Seeds from a herme????

    Your plants look good. I'm in the same situation as you, friend gave me some seed from what I'm assuming is a hermie by the way he describes his plant. Mine were started a couple months ago so I can't tell what they are yet. I'm experimenting with different soils, training, nutes, etc, before I...

    When to Top plant?

    I wonder if fimming would be a better option as it really doesn't cause the plant to loose height and is less stressful?

    Water quality question

    My well water tests at about PH 8 and is full of minerals, so I started using "better" water as everyone suggested, low ppm perfect PH etc. For the last 2 months I've used my "crappy" well water and truthfully see no difference what so ever growing in soil. Good soil can help buffer the negative...

    What do you guys think

    Some of my plants did this after I foliar fed as well. Turned yellow on the bottom. I blamed my issue on the Miracle Gro 12-4-6 I sprayed.Everyone told me it was either a nutrient issue, or nute burn. I would wait for someone else more knowledgeable than me to comment and base your decision by...

    I use ProMix and amend it. I could never bring myself to pay that much a bag for soil.

    What has happened to my plants?

    They look better to me. I had a similar issue and found that the damaged leaves are doomed to die off anyway, you can't bring them back.

    which trainining method for beginner?

    Most beginners on here seem to prefer the LST method. Personally I wouldn't try suppercropping until I had at least a couple grows under my belt.
