    Some questions about seedlings/seedling stage

    so it sounds close to my first grow (a clone); size and no# of nodes. and similar to when I first saw rootlet growing. It would be in a peat pellet, so probably a few roots showing outside the peat? I thought the heat directed on it would but its hard to know without trying. The r/o humidity...

    Some questions about seedlings/seedling stage

    I'm getting ready for a grow. I already tried one as a clone but there are new questions and some things I hadn't done with the clone vs. seeds. First, when do I start adjusting ph? I've heard posts, and peticularly some videos/guides saying they used distilled water for popping the seeds...

    Learning from my mistakes. Little R&D before my second attempt

    I spoke to someone at GE and picked up the BioThrive lineup (grow, camg+, weed, bud) at the local shop. I'm picking up bloom and root before weekend. I don't think they'll be the same kind of issues as last time.... As long as the ph doesn't spike. I also have peat, perlite, dolomite. So I think...

    Learning from my mistakes. Little R&D before my second attempt

    Since I had to let the white russian go I'm doing some homework and window shopping for best way to start. I have problems getting some items, and confused on others. I was hoping for some advice or clarification(s). Currently doing some trim work on my box, and setting up something for...

    Something I never wanted to say. I let the poor girl have a proper burial. She just never full recovered from whatever condition she had. The last few days she had more blue-ish discoloration and some other leaves were looking bad. I thought instead of keep doing it wrong I'd start again...

    Blue-ish / Purple-ing of leave tips and downward curling - White Russian - CFL

    I have some fairly bad news, and this thread here will need to be closed. Those wondering what happened please look up my nickname here or white Russian cfl 2010. I think for every single email, msg and post for help. I hope you'll still be here when I have questions. You all have been...

    questions about outdoor/guerilla grow in canada?

    I found a small pouch at the store I found dolomite. It might take a few of them but depends how many plants I stick in grown. I think I saw american pride at the hydro store... But I will look around, there's definitely time for it. I'm reading a few threads around and totally shocked at the...

    Brewer's yeast CO2 generator

    I assume this type of small system isn't large enough to be toxic to humans? i'm using a rubbermaid box. And something on this scale would be a great way to test if it works. I could try this after my current grow. I think however any little bit helps, as long as cost overweights it

    questions about outdoor/guerilla grow in canada?

    First off. Let me thank you for the thourough answers. It sounds like I need anything with a short life cycle. Not necessarily a type of strain like sativa or auto. I have a few freebies as well as bought. That is sound advice though. Keep redundancy but keep price down in case of problems like...

    questions about outdoor/guerilla grow in canada?

    I'm curious about outdoor growing. I am currently growing indoors but considering at least scouting an area for a guerilla grow. Like the indoor grow I'm in information gathering mode, trying to soak up whatever I can. Ask some questions and read/watch any guides, howto's or videos I can find...

    its a bit frankenstein but it works fairly efficiently as far as airflow, lights, etc.. There is some peat near the stem, I had moved it sufficiently that some got ontop of the rockwool. I haven't seen any mold or such so far. I usually give it a good feeding, waiting for a good amount of...

    Some have asked for pics... And yes its been a while. Just fyi for newcommers to the thread she's currently in the "infirmiry/sick plant" section of forum. She has a few days before soil is dry enough to continue the watering cycle. I will give her some h2o then and let her soak up the access...

    I posted some pics in the sick plant section but I'll re-link them here tomorrow. I definitely agree. I probably need some cal/mag. I heard epsom salts can work for mag or blackstray molasses for either. Kinda wish I had better soil to, but will next time. I hate spiders or I wouldn't mind too...

    water basically every week. Typically looking for drooping or yellowing. I resist the urge todo that (usually on 4-5 day) and wait two more to let her dry more. Its usually a cup of water/fert mix using well water. I can try lowering the ph a bit more. It was 6.5 or so at first... I'll see what...

    Blue-ish / Purple-ing of leave tips and downward curling - White Russian - CFL

    yeah. seems like a good idea since the soil definitely isn't "optimal". I think between the soil and fert its probably not getting all nutrients. Although, admitedly, its probably 99% soil's fault thanks

    Blue-ish / Purple-ing of leave tips and downward curling - White Russian - CFL

    I want it said that originally I ph'd to 6.8ph, and then closer 6.5ph and had yellowing, curling and this issue started (at least with the clipped leaf [last picture]) while it was at 6.5ph. It could be because soil, and I do know I should start with better one next time. Its a simple peatmoss...

    Blue-ish / Purple-ing of leave tips and downward curling - White Russian - CFL

    I'm sorry to post here again, I'm definitely having some problems with the gardening side of things. I wish I didn't have to but I can't narrow it down. And one solution asked what ppm was in solution... And well, thats impossible right now. It doesn't appear to be same issue as yellowing but...

    maybee that explains why things are going kinda bad. I do keep a probe nearby the plant to keep an eye out for what the thermostat sees and closer to the plant, and dead center of growbox. I'm sorry to be posting again, I sound like a hypocondriac and feeling kinda blue myself because If there...

    ahh. I see. I makes sense. A few limbs I've clipped had "died" and fallen off. I will send you some pictures of setup and my girl later today. I think its thirst or something. I do not have a dehumidifier (plugged in) but I do have an air conditioner and a cool mist humidifier to control...
