I agree that the plant is showing multiple deficiencies. So that plus nutes given leads me to believe that you're feeding too much causing lockouts...so do as Bernie said...and maybe drop the nutes a tad. JD

Thanks Corey, Two things...I'm 71 and trying to make my garden easier to tend. Plants would be at waist level. The other issue is that I grow sativas...sometimes leggy landraces. 2' of extra headroom could mean the difference between success and failure. But I'm taking what you said...

KK, Probably just a little Mg shortage...no biggie. I'd use Epsom salts...maybe 1/2" tsp/gal...just put it in with nutes...but some people go foliar. JD

OK gottcha...totally understand. I'm a diy guy myself. I picked up the incubator really cheap on ebay used...and use it for seed germination (works great) and for Malawi COB fernebtation cures. Haven't actually used it for shrooms...just wanted to make you guys jealous. lol Carry on... JD

Excellent...that would be perfect...do any of the manufacturers make any that are designed to be hooked together...shared exhaust? JD

Hey CookieRider Thanks for all the info...very thorough. I have a 6" Panasonoc exhaust fan that I can put a splitter on and run to each tent Yes I suppose the ventilation ports will need to be appropriately located...I'll be sure to look at all that before I purchase. Will have to be sure I...

Thanks Dark Web...I'll check them out. That flexible zipper option is good...that's what it's going to take...flexibility to get this to work. JD

Interesting option that may let me tuck a taller one in there...thanks much. JD

Why not just buy some proper agar plates? Last batch I bought were sterile. disposable plastic fairly cheap and came in a pack of ten. JD

I feel for you...basement grows can be problematic. Can't you just build a room down there? Well that only works if you own the place. I have always grown in either a spare bedroom or a specially constructed room. It's important to get a good starting environment. JD

Mornin' Guys, I'm an old shroom devotee. Learned agar vulture techniques back in microbiology class. Even have my own incubator. Many gues don't know that you can even make shroom crosses...never done it but possible. I used to live near Gainesville, FL and spend hours wandering the field...

Thanks boatguy...ya I figure all I'll need is a chunk of plywood and a few 2x4s...don't want it to collapse. I'll have to do some ladder work getting the ventilation and lights. I have two nice 315s and I'll use my led in veg. Maybe two 3' tents with a 315 in each. The extra space in the...

Hi Guys...I've been growing in an 7x8 room...oh...about half filled. I have a small workbench and an isle with all plants on one side. It works ok...but looking to make some changes. This is my idea...the ceiling is angled with one side having almost 9' of headroom. I have never grown in a...

Morning Curious, It's always easier with a well developed deficiency...early ones get into subtleties. I drew a conclusion based on a mildly acidic rootzone and dark leaves. No...not the super dark almost black that some indicas can get from excess N...but considering that he's in flower...

So you are putting all the waste and salts and crap...back into the plant? This defeats the purpose of runoff...

I can see that happen quite easily. But any garden that contains seed olants and different strains is facing a challenge. Plant requirements can vary wildly from strain-to-strain and even pheno-to-pheno of same strain. Few small growers mono-crop. I have some landrace sativas that have been...

newfarmer, I can tell that whoever taught you that technique was an old timer. That's exactly how we used to do it 40 years ago. It still works and you did good to turn lights to 24/0. That's an example where 24 hours actually makes sense. I have separate veg abd bloom so I just move...

Hi Solitary, the water out being fairly low...could indicate some nutrient salt build-up. Salts like that are always accompanied by various degrees of low ph. That plus the fairly dark leaf color tells me...would not be a bad idea to lower nutes...say 25% from where you are. Calmag in...good...

Sure...why not

Henny, First...as a new grower...you most likely will overtend and hover like a worried Mother. That's what newbs do...but don't let it go so far as to kill it. If your coco was fairly coarse...it should drain well. Some coco is a little less porous...more pith. Guys add perlite to keep...
