    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    Thank you again for your time. You're the second person on here to tell me to just leave it alone and wait, so I'm going to do that. It just makes you impatient looking at it! We actually changed the setup yesterday so that it now has a central reservoir that feeds both buckets so that...

    That's a good idea. Thanks! I'm definitely going to recover them to reflect the light and drop the temps. I was able to direct some things and now the root temp stays at about 73 deg. I do have some Hydroguard in there to hopefully stop root rot from happening, and I still need to look into what...

    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    I am doing a "Scrog" grow though, so I need them to bush out so I can stretch sideways in the screen. Most of what I've seen says to top them twice early on. The other plant (BBxWW) I topped exploded in new growth and I've just topped it again for the second time. It's just that Fruit Punch...

    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    Thanks. I will definitely try this. Lots of good info from you guys that I believe will solve my nutrient issues. Any thoughts on the topping issue? I'm really wanting to move below the one I think I screwed up, cut the node and leave a little more of it, and hope to see new growth quicker. It's...

    Thanks again to everyone for their help. Some places have the Lucas Formula as 5/10 for Veg and then 8/16 for Flower, but Lucas has stated that he never said the strength should change at any point during the grow, but that he suggested 5/10 from start to finish for those with weaker lights...

    Thank you again for all the great information. They are definitely overfed due to my errors. I am going to remedy that today as well.

    I will definitely look more into adding a silica supplement. Sounds like something that would benefit me in my situation. Would that be in addition to the others I'm using? (CaliMagic and Hydroguard). As I said, I'm new to this so please forgive me if I ask something that sounds stupid. Anyone...

    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    Thanks again. The roots are not slimy, but I'm going to flush and then add Hydroguard to my new solution. Maybe it's just that my temps stay too high in the root area? I also have CaliMagic Cal/Mag that I've started adding. I have a TDS-3 meter that reads at about 1300ppm, and Lucas just said to...

    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    Thank you guys so much. And you're right Robert, I'm just going a little crazy as a first time grower and worrying about all these things! Lol. I guess I'll go ahead and get some Hydroguard and start that. I guess it can't hurt anything. The main thing I'm worrying about right now is how the one...

    First time grower with a couple of questions...

    First time grower and I'm still unsure of some things even after lots of research. I'm hoping that someone more experienced can tell me if I'm on the right track with things. I tried to do this first grow as simple as possible. I'll list my specs and also attach pics of the two plants. 2x4...
