    is this just light burn or more serious ?????? +rep

    Yes, like heat burn (from lights). Damaged root zone can happen from a variety of things; mechanical, microbiol, chemical. Yes it can happen overnight. Go with the heat burn from the lights as the simplest explanation. btw, I wouldn't spray at night. Better to spray in the morning at or near...

    attic needs growing lights

    If this is your own place, best to start with insulating that room. It's gonna get hot from inside and out. If you don't have a way to keep it cool, it'll be a wasted effort.

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    I liked the system that Heath Robinson worked out with https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html = ingenious. However only being protected for 6 mature plants in our state's MMJ program, re-purposing his system for decreased plant count was a...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    In wanting to increase the levels of my DO, I created some injectors and a manifold to put in-line with my main water inlet. The plant closest to the main inlet has it's roots constantly flushed by the mechanical action of the water flowing in. Why not include this benefit to all the other...

    Pennsylvania MMJ Question

    No, better to move to a MMJ legal state or get politically active where you are.

    I have to leave town for 2 weeks

    Harvest some early and the the rest when you get back. Turning your harvest over to someone else who doesn't have the same interest as you isn't really a good idea.

    Some problems I'm encountering...Please help!

    Looks like nutrient lockout to me from having your ph too high. Get ph test paper, very inexpensive. You can also pick up a cheap tds meter (kind used to test water quality) for $15. You have to know your ph and ppm or whatever you harvest will be by sheer luck. The better meters are quicker and...

    AG7: Weird growth on my baby plants!

    It won't show sex until a couple of weeks after you start a flowering light cycle of 12/12 on/off.

    is this just light burn or more serious ?????? +rep

    That's what it looks like to me. If not, the next thing I would look at is a damaged rootzone.

    Blueprint For Successful Cooperative

    Hi, Just wondering what's folks experiences are with cooperatives as a way to distribute medicine to patients. What are some successful models that are out there? I've seen models where one pays a membership fee which guarantees a minimal amount then entitles a member to acquire additional...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    Checked them this morning, everything is looking good but the last one took a step back, so I pulled her out of the bloom chamber. These are what the roots are looking like now: Not looking so good. They are not slimy at all, just a bit limp and brown. Thinking that is could be low levels of...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    Super excited to have a system that gives me flexibility and reliability at the same time, I came this morning to discover this: ugh, that happened? After listing the various things it could be - (cold temps, nutes too strong, lighting intensity, lack of water), I decided that even though...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    So I tore the whole system out and put this in it's place, the Flooded Tube (credit for inspiration go to Mr. Robinson). But instead of 4" diameter gasketed soil pipe (SDR 35), I went with 6" thus the 'phatty' flooded tube is born. Also since I'm a legal grower I could only have 6 sites. The...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    Next, I decided to go SCRoG horizontal but after seeing how the topping slowed my plants down, I decided against that idea. Vertical has been appealing to me especially since I kept having to watch my head from bumping into the reflector. Finally, enough was enough so vertical it is with my...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    I tried the closet grow for a while, but the plants were quickly out growing the space, so I decided to build a room. This turned out ok, growing out Blueberry and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, I lost the Blueberry to spidermites and had to bubble hash the entire plant. The Afghanistan was...

    Flooded Phatty Tube Vertical Evolution

    First off props to the RIU community, there's a wealth of knowledge here to which I owe substantial amounts of peace of mind in my moments of doubt and uncertainty. I've been experimenting quite a bit lately and wanted to give back a little to the community, here's a bit about my personal...

    Psychadelics and their connections to the after life [serious discussion]

    A good friend once shared with me the idea that there is no such thing as death. They went on to explain, at the moment after death, two things are possible. Consciousness either continues or is does not. In either case death is irrelevant. Experiences with claircognizance, either under the...

    URGEANT: 240V Hook Up Question:Hooking up 10-3 cord

    Not really. 40' is generally the longest distance for 10ga @ 30amps. If you want to go 100' you should upgrade to 6ga. If you're hardheaded and don't like code then there's two ways to test for safety. One is using a meter at the panel to measure voltage and then at the load for voltage. If it's...
