    ph levels question

    second on the dolomite lime, I still check the pH of my water to make sure it's not too far off but the lime will help a ton especially if you have something like peat moss in your mix

    Indoor Grow Tents...

    I have used that 400w apollo, it works fine and you could easily get four 3-gallon plants going in that tent if you veg to about 12-14 inches and LST your plants. It doesn't get nearly as hot as the 600w option they have but you will have to make sure your air flow is on point. If you'd like to...

    subcool supersoil

    Sorry for the delay, I do roughly 3:1 mix of promix:manure. Don't worry about burning with peat moss early on, seedlings and small plants seem to love the more acidic environment. Peat moss pellets like the ones jiffy makes are great for this since they come in those little contained sacks but...

    hows she looking?

    ahh yes, the ol beginner accidents. I dropped a tray of clones, destroying about 70% of what was there. Looks good though, good job

    best reasonably priced nutrients?

    From what I've gotten to use so far, Earth juice does the trick but the bloom formula is very acidic, drops ph to like 4.5 at even 1 tsp per gallon. Dyna gro foliage pro is good stuff, i bought some for my mom for her indoor plants and they basically exploded in her sun room.

    subcool supersoil

    peat moss based medium is great for starting seedlings, they like the more acidic environment during that stage. Hyroots suggestion sounds great since you won't need any additional nutes with the worm castings. Ive found composted sheep manure to work pretty well too.

    Sell me on switching to LED

    a 400w with a ballast that lets you load both MH and HPS (I think most brands have this option) and with a dimmer is a nice feature. Works well for 4 medium sized plants or 2-3 bigger ones. I think LEDs are gaining traction but even over the past few months the lights released are already...

    vegging plants under 40w t5's

    That is an impressive amount of hairs and your clones look super healthy. i've been thinking of trying a T5 for a veg area. The CFL setup I have now is ok but the plants needs to be moved around since the light isn't equal in every parts of the closet its in. It seems like the T5 might give a...

    vegging plants under 40w t5's

    Your plants look great, did you supercrop any of them, a few have some unique branching structure.

    How long is too long to flower?

    Its the fan leaves. The leaves around the bud are still fine and didn't change color. I didn't get the symptoms of yellowing until week 5-6 of flower originally but when it did happen it's because of a lack of Mg in the biobizz trial line (bad oversight on my part) and I tried to help it recover...

    How long is too long to flower?

    Yea I'm just confused because the leaves are dying and drying which I guess is normal but the buds are healthy and green which I assumed the trichomes are still developing as a result. But... I've been checking the trichomes on both plants with a 60x magnifying glass and the GSC tended to become...

    How long is too long to flower?

    This is my first grow and I'm looking for veterans and noobies alike opinion. So I have couple plants that are ~13/14 weeks into flower and all the normal signs that I was looking out for never really showed. The trichomes on the GSC (girl scout) I have are milky to clear, the leaves from the...

    vegging plants under 40w t5's

    Great journal, seems you got a lot of your clones to survive which is more than I can say for my last few attempts. Is your potting soil just regular black soil?

    Need some help with filter setup

    Im curious, what was the name of it? Refillable seems like a far better investment.

    What lights and sizes should I use? ( I want to use CFLs)

    Keep 18-24 inches away, some of my leaves actually burned when I didn't raise my lights quickly enough 1 week and it was still a good 12" away from it. Don't bother with multiple CFLs for your actual grow, I tried one of those setups with 20 light bulbs and it was a hassle having to adjust...
