My plants seem to be doing pretty well. One question and it's a dumb one. When do I move my light up? Is it only when my plants are getting closer to it? I know how to tell they're too close but do I just wait till they're starting to get too close and then move it up? Any other reasons I...

Hey guys, thanks for your feedback. Will need to looking into this a bit more. It's specifically the breeze i was looking at because it seems to be pretty heavy duty. I would rather go for the whole overkill than still be smelling it. If you guys say the gel cans are good with a good filter...

Hey folks I'm thinking of getting the Ona Breeze. Anyone used one? Can some recommend them? Or any other odour control systems for that matter. I have a carbon filter already but my parents are coming to visit this month and I'd like to ensure it's completely smell proof

Thanks guys sorry your posts weren't there when i started writing. Deejay, it is hydro (NFT) I don't have a proper ph meter at the moment but I am getting one this weekend. The ph is between 5.5 & 6.0. Light nutes Calikid thanks for the link, I will definitely refer to this in the future...

Thank you Scrog, you are always very helpful. what about the leave twist on the first pic and the the curling tips. Is that normal?

Hey anyone got any thoughts? Sorry for the bump!

hi dumb question but are you guys meaning 1g per watt per plant?

I sometimes fall folly to over analysing. Currently I think they might be getting to much nitrogen as I read somewhere if leaves grow in darker this could be the case. Also some of the leaves are curling down. I read this could be the cause of a ph imbalance which shouldn't be the case...

Hi K0ijn, thanks for your response earlier. I've only just got home and I will read it later today but I just wanted to say thanks just now. I know you may have commented elsewhere about it so taking the time to reiterate things you have probably said on many ocassions for the benefit of...

If i had a ph imbalance in my water for 24hr should have been 5.5 - 6 but was actually 6 -7 and have now corrected it do I need to flush my plants?? They are showing slight signs of a ph imbalance. and yes i have now invested in a ph meter (didn't have one before hence the problem) can...

Haha thanks guys, You answered a question I was going to ask! Some of my plants have got a bit of a lean on them and I was thinking I probably couldn't rotate and obviously then I can't Any tips to combat that at all?. Thanks for the rest of the advice I'll keep it all in mind. My get a...

guys I'm all for science and agree that if there is scientific evidence to back it up I will fall into this category... hence why I believe the world is not flat. I am genuinely interested in reading any documentation to support flushing/not flushing. Even if it's plant biology 101. Can...

Hi Jimmy, thanks man appreciate the response. That's exactly what i'll do. I take it your on NFT? Any other valuable tips you might have? Really appreciate you coming back to me

Right guys I'm a complete newbie. Basically I was just going to flush because that's what I've been told to do. Now reading this makes me wonder if I need to because there are some compelling arguments not to. One thing though I would point out. I'm using hydro and bought HESI nutes as they...

Maybe should have said that there are large clusters of roots sticking out the bottom of large rockwool cube but they aren't entirely rootbound

Hi I transferred my plants into NFT last night. Looking at pictures online it would seem I may have dones this slightly prematurely. As I don't want to drown my roots I've put the pump on a timer for 30 mins on and then 7.5hrs off. Will this work to not drown them? I'm just being cautious but...

Again thank you very much. Your posts have been very helpful. Really appreciate all your help. I'll get them in the hydro asap!

Hey krypton, Thanks!! You've basically calmed down a rather agitated new grower. Thank you. It's all very new and when you see things that don't look quite right you to start to panic, so again thank you. For watering I've currently just been dipping the rock wool cubes into water as and when...

Hi Krypton, Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have definitely provided more info at this point. Plants were germinated 17 days ago. Originally under a 125w cfl for 12 days. Switched to 400w HPS dual spectrum light around 1.5 to 2ft above plants and have gradually moved closer using the...

Hey folks so I seem to be on here every second day with an issue. Probably should have stuck to soil and not jumped in at hydro but hey ho live and learn, there's no going back for me now. Damn my stupidity but you've got to make mistake to learn. So I'm having an issue with one of my...
