    What to do when 1 plant takes off

    I have six plants. One plant in particular is growing MUCH faster than the others. I have to keep raising the light (air cooled 600 watt HPS) to accomodate this one plant. I have tied the plant to make it bend a bit so I don't have to keep raising the light but for fear of breaking it I don't...

    Yellow striations on some of the leaves

    Kartoon - So having a look here and based on your reading I am going to take a somewhat educated guess that it's an FE issue. So I am going to change my thought and do a double dose of FF Grow Big since the issue started while vegging. It is more clearly prevalent in the newer leaves and...

    Yellow striations on some of the leaves

    REALLY appreciated Kartoon! Rep to you. I just went in to look to see how they compare to what you wrote and it went lights out for the next 12 hours. Before the lights went out I also see that this Widow that has the leaf problem is not only the largest by far but also is the only with 3 main...

    Yellow striations on some of the leaves

    Thanks Kartoon. I went in and took a real good look at the plant in order to answer your question. None of the leaves which have the streaks have any necro or brown spots. The streaks are on young/new growth as well as the old growth although it seems to be more new growth leaves which are...

    Yellow striations on some of the leaves

    I have 3 White Widows and 3 Blackjacks (all Nirvana) all of which were put into flowering about 6 days ago. They are about 2 months old and are under a 600 watt HPS light. All are growing in FFOF soil & using FF nutes in 5 gal buckets. I switched the nutes from FF Grow Big to FF Big Bloom...

    How high?

    I just installed an aircooled reflector. If it's any help it's this one - http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-AIROFLOW-Reflector.asp What distance from the top of the plants do you put the reflector? I've seen a variety of distances mentioned in the forum but not too clear if the reflectors...

    The POWER of HPS vs. Fluoro grow

    The girls sprouted the 1st of November. They are in FFOF, w/FF nutes. I had the 6 of them under a 4 foot, 8 bulb (6500k bulbs) fluoro setup from that point forward. 3 of the girls are WW the other 3 are BlackJack. From November 1 until until December 19 I continued to veg them with lots of...

    Diagnosis or comments anyone? Strange coloration and curling on only 1 type

    Rob - maybe these shots are better yet, though a bit washed out. Still think nute burn? Thanks!!

    Diagnosis or comments anyone? Strange coloration and curling on only 1 type

    Not the best shots, they don't show the issue too well but maybe you can make it out on 1 or 2 of the shots.

    Diagnosis or comments anyone? Strange coloration and curling on only 1 type

    Can anyone please help me to diagnose this worsening problem with my girls – my White Widows to be exact. Also growing with them at same stage are Black Jacks which do not exhibit this issue at all; Black Jacks are in the same soil & nutes. They are about 7 weeks old and just about ready to...

    Which bulb to get?

    I am just about ready to put the plants into bloom. And I am just about to purchase a 600 watt HPS system from HTG. The HTG site mentions that the bulb that comes with the system (the HTG brand bulb comes with the complete system) has "Increased Violet and Blue spectrum to enhance natural...

    HTG SUPPLY.. The prices too good to be true?

    Bricktop - I see that you use Agromax much of the time. I am about to purchase a 600W HPS system from HTG. There are bulb options. The HTG site mentions that the Agromax bulb (at least the version they carry) is "Spectrally Enhanced = 30% more "blue" spectrum". The HTG label bulb says something...

    Looking for light options, help!

    Wow, thanks for all the great replies. Sounds to me that one way or the next I am into at least another $200+ for doing what's right. So basically the way I understand it I could cob it and get by for about $110 with the CFL scattered around the grow and get possibly less than great yields, no...

    Looking for light options, help!

    I have 6 ladies (3 WW & 3 blackjack) that will be put into flower in about 2 weeks. They are now in 5 gallon containers in FF ocean where I expect them to stay until harvest. I currently have a 4 foot, 6 bulb flouro setup (I should have gotten an 8 bulb unit....), with all bulbs now being...

    What to do with leaves?

    So is there a good use for the trimmed leaves? I'd rather not spend a lot of energy doing something with them that would have little effect. Ideas? Thanks!
