Forbin,
When I lived in a really cold climate...heated winter air was always super dry. I had one of those larger cabinet type humidifiers with a fabvric belt revolving through a reservoir that needed to be topped up. That type works good...but like any device, maintenance is needed.
Read up...
Trays of water on any available surface...hang up wet towels...that sort of thing...and of course will need to be renewed regularly. Had to deal with that in the past. Now in a humid clime which is nice. Good luck...

Justin...sometimes you just have to go with it. Hope the rockwool works good for you...I love the stuff for seedlings and clones but have never used it for large plants. And be safe!
Cheers,

You're right CC=storage is everything. I moved several times and the seeds were exposed to varying conditions. Some were over 20 years old. Got one really old Widow, one G13Widow and a couple others but lost the nametags.. That's out of about 200 seeds. At least I got something out of all...
johny,
I used to be...but recently germed my entire collection and got bad results. My advice is to only buy what you can use now (or soon)
Unless you're a Prepper and waiting for society to collapse...so you can be the go-to guy for mj seeds.
JD
Gg,
I agree...not to worry. I have a seedling that did just that. One first true leave much bigger. Now I've seen twisty leaves on seedling from too much food too soon...but that's not your issue. Call it a normal abnormality.

Final Finish is now called Flawless Finish...same company, same stuff.
Using it in hydro creates a major clusterf*ck of res change followed by pure water and then change it again for your next round. That's 3 res changes in a week. Lots of damn water...better to avoid finishing products just...
My feeling is P is much worse for killing taste then N.
Jimmy,
Back when I did flush I used a product called Final Finish which claimed to remove nutrients...not from the plant but from the rootzone...using chelation. It's also loaded with Epsom salts so pretty sure it was the sulfur enhancing...
Hi Shay,
Just wanted to follow the thread to see final diagnosis. I also have never seen that. Your first new shot almost looks like a nute spill on the leaves...the random nature of it. But not the other shots.
JD
Hey Zeus...enjoying the photos. You're doing a fine job of growing them. Nothing flowering at my house at the moment...but soon... 8)

PS Learning manifold training. Here's one mostly done...just needs more veg time.

CDLC,
Not all nutrients will lower ph. The manufacturers take ph into consideration as they formulate it. Mostly it's done with manipulation of the N formula.
Are you planning on maintaining a res or are you gonna do batch mixing. Some things will throw ph out of wack but those measurements...
CDLC,
What does your nute instructions say about ph? I grow in coco using dry chmical nutes. 3 drop ph test. I shoot for yellow (6 ph)
I don't test runoff...unless I have a major issue. Then if it's like well below 5...then salt build up and you better flush or increase runoff. Never...
Gb,
You've been feeding them heavy N doses. Dark green. Back off on N a bit...maybe a few feedings of light dose PK to get the plant engaed in budding. Too much N discourages buds...
JD
I think the plant in this picture could use some Mg. I also think you moved back to half strength too soon. Is this recirculating top drip or Ebb and Flow? Your plants are still very dark and could use a breather. Either you aren't giving enough Mg or it's getting locked out (more likely)
JD
Oooh...don't get me started on that one. My Mom did that and one day...with me as a passenger, she stopped at the end of a freeway ramp and then merged right into a huge red semi truck. Last time I ever rode with her...
JD
No...I was growing indoors. I lived in Iowa and they would have done fine outdoors...just no place to grow.
I was perusing a seed site and saw seeds for a Nepal Highland strain. Sounded nice but my plate is full right now. Happy 4/20
Cheers,
JD
Mornin' guys,
I switched to hydro because it was killing my back lifting all those pots and bags of soil around. Now a $25 pump does all the work for me...
Plus it's fun...plus my weed is just as good...well no more plusses...8)
