    My super grow co2 tent

    I used the co2 yeast thing and the main problem is the liquid gets too cool and slows yeast production so you have to put it on a warmer. I also plugged in my CPA 4 PPM and it never got above 300ppm, I just paid for the co2 bottle and regulator like a pro and works great.

    Low PH like 4.5 to 5. But plants look healthy in week 3 of bloom

    I'd only use MG soil if I couldn't find hap frog or ocean . MG from what i understand has timed release nutes, so in a 3-4 month grow its still releasing veg or nitrogens when you want the other

    Low PH like 4.5 to 5. But plants look healthy in week 3 of bloom

    what do you guys think dolomite lime vs garden lime? So is it 1 cup per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot? I think it is 1 cup per cubic foot, because that would mean 5 cups in a 5 gallon bucket. Or 1 cup per cub foot means a gallon has 7.4 cubic feet per gallon right?

    Final post, checked ph 48 hours after garden lime, ph back to 6.2 for most plants, some at 6 some at 6.4 but overall 3 tablespoons on the top in a 5 gallon bucket, 1 gallon water.

    Low PH like 4.5 to 5. But plants look healthy in week 3 of bloom

    So I put in 3 tablespoons garden lime on top of soil per 5 gallon container, flushed with 1 gallon water (tap, 7.6ph 130ppm). 24 hours later checked ph around 6.0. Someone said some plants like low ph, but nutes are absorbed less at lower ph's.

    Low PH like 4.5 to 5. But plants look healthy in week 3 of bloom

    I highly doubt I am ordering water from Colorado to adjust my PH, but thanks for the info. Normally I use the purified water from the machine in front of state brothers at 25 cents a gallon, test 0ppm and 7.0 ph

    is there such a thing as too many bud sites on a plant?

    I am running about 40% humidity, co2 at 1500ppm, and temps around 74-78 degrees fluctuates a little. I will trim a few off each day, the lowers only. I cloned before I went to flower and my clones have nice roots at 3 weeks, using those peat moss plugs and a tray with like 1 tsp grow big per...

    Top ten mistakes i made as a newbie first time grower

    #11. Buying clones and not having my grow area setup yet. Yes I did that and it cost me 5 out of 6 clones. Setup your area, organize cables and wires, get a grow tent that reflects your crops, i.e. 9 big plants can fill a 6X6 grow room pretty easy. Buy a light that is dialed in for seeds, veg...

    Top ten mistakes i made as a newbie first time grower

    #4 i think is why my plants are so skinny. #7 is personal preference, no scientific evidence. as far as water goes i just want water without chlorine, next run i will get a nice filtration system. the water at the big water tank at stater brothers is 25 cents a gallon, tested 0ppm and 7.0 ph
