    Hey- here's a good one: http://insidesun.com I can't give this guy enough props. He started on ebay like about 15 years ago, and now has a nice, real business together and site. He started off converting streetlights into growlights in the wayback. I've purchase many, many 1000 watters from...

    HELP!!!!Fan leaves dying and i cant figure out whats wrong...

    Ganjaluv, when you are five weeks into flowering, you judge an mg deficiency by the appearance of the buds. The pistils on a plant that is mg deficient look deflated, thin, and lay kinda flat. You don't diagnose deficiencies based on foliage that is being shed naturally by the plant. If we...

    HELP!!!!Fan leaves dying and i cant figure out whats wrong...

    Absolutely. I'll hang around. And make sure you include pictures of your buds. The good ones. I say this because the appearance of the buds tell a lot more than the foliage at this point-- when you are 5 weeks in. Foliage only tells a part of the story....

    Your lower leaves are dying because you are adding a higher ratio of Phosphorus to Nitrogen. And that's not a bad thing. Read my first post on this thread.

    Underwatering is another possiblity, jaw- you're dead right. Mg deficiencies take weeks to translate into noticeable losses. By that time, your plant is already chopped. Your lower leaves are dying because you are adding a higher ratio of Phosphorus to Nitrogen.

    HELP!!!!Fan leaves dying and i cant figure out whats wrong...

    Sometime that quick, yes. I have had some monster fan leaves shrivel up and die at about day 30, but the low low low fan leaves-- not the ones on the top colas. It's not unusual at all. If you see some funny activity around the leaflets surrounding the buds, however, then you will have...

    If you want to add epsom salts to your grow medium add it with your nutes. Add at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. If you want a quicker fix, add 1 teaspoon per gallon and foliar feed it. You will start see a difference within 24 hours if it's a, MG deficiency. It will not make a...

    HELP!!!!Fan leaves dying and i cant figure out whats wrong...

    Are these the lowest of the lowest fan leaves? If so, then you are doing everything correctly, seriously! Too much phosphorus causes a zinc defiency, but that's not the case here: zinc defs affect new growth- not old growth. Your fan leaves are dying because they are no longer needed...

    70 w HPS?

    Lol. The "tweets" tab won't be around for too too long. It's pretty obvious this site is obviously being managed by a few stoner web developers. I know how they work. New features will come and go as the site grows. Some features will live and die by user feedback. (I am also a stoner web...

    The nutes I'm selling are cheap. Complete fertilizer, no additives needed.

    70 w HPS?

    70 watts is an ok start. What kind of bulb? At that low of wattage, the quality of the bulb is everything. Make you you use an agricultural grade bulb instead of the generic/industrial grade. However, you will have a better shot at finding good bulbs, a better selection, if you opt for 150...

    Ammonium Nitrate? + reputation points

    Well, it looks like you've already looked at the numbers you were supposed to look for... 10-5-5, right? Seems to me that's enough food by itself for a young plant. Just add water. If you added nutes on top of a 10-5-5 mix, then you certainly nuked that baby, iKillplants. :) Where did this...

    WOW Riddle has a question???

    Hey Riddle- Nice thread here. Many interesting points to consider for both sides! Now my two cents: I'm a proponent for flushing, but not for the reasons/ myths that surround feeding your plants nothing but h20 your last weeks. I've gone down both roads- flushing, feeding til the end-...

    Totally understand about ordering online. I do mail order too. Anyhoo, looks like it'll be Miracle Grow for you. Just kidding. Jack's Professional Fertilizer is good, but I don't know where to get that. When I make purchases offline, I go to the local hydro store. I don't have any hangups...
