    New Growth thin and curled?? Newbie needs help please!

    Whatever the cause may be (overfeeding or low ph), the result seems to be a nutrient lockout. I don't know if your soil had any nutrients at the start, if it had than it should have been ok without nutrients for several weeks. Even when using nutrient free soil, it's said to be good to start...

    First Grow...

    Today i got a tiny 1w pump to keep the water aerated. Since i let the tap water rest in a tank for several days to evaporate the chlorine, i thought these little bubbles would help. Though, i don't know if stirring the water before waterings could do the same thing :) And guess what, the room...

    First Grow...

    A day after watering. The droopy plants are turning back to normal. U2 strain seems to be a very strong one. U2 stems look far stronger than those of U1. U1s are clearly thinner and longer than the U2s. Most U2 plants developed extra leaves from the lower nodes, they look bushy, one of them...

    I just took them out for watering and let them stay for a while, they will usually be in the room. By the way, when exactly the vegetative stage starts? Nothing compares to cultivate corn in the Midwest :) Thanks a lot Moldy.

    First Grow...

    Watering was a battle. The soil was so dry that the most of the water poured onto it came right down to the drainage holes through the cracks in the soil. It took several drenching sessions for each plant to actually wet the soil (any help on this subject will be appreciated, other than to water...

    First Grow...

    Since U1 strain is put under less intense light, U2 plants grew faster and the both strains' growth is almost equal on the 21st day. Both the U1 and U2 seem to be of Indica type. U1 may have some Sativa code since its leaves are thinner and less bushy (this difference may be due to the...

    When to Prune?

    When is the best time to prune and cut clones from a plant. Some guides claim it is to be done in the 3rd week of vegetative growth and still, others say first week of flowering stage is the time. Thanks.

    Home made hood correction

    Seems to be a nice solution for the compact fluorescent bulbs. For flowering, same bulbs backed up with a couple of warm white (2700-3500K) compact fluorescents may be used as far as i know.

    Taproot/Sprouting problems (7 Days and still no sprout)

    Spraying the surface of the cup instead of wetting it until water comes out from the holes is a better way in my opinion. Once you put your seed under ground, water the cup throughly with a water sprayer until some water drains from the holes, then just spray the surface a little everyday until...
