My plants have serious pH issues.. they are month old today and growing slowly, dying from the bottom up. I tested the runoff and it was 4.0 the plants are showing it too, leaves are curling at the tips, new growth is coming in twisted, pale greenish yellow, droopy, and ripping itself, but...

So i got this meter a few days ago.. and I immediately noticed that I had to add a LOT more pH down to my water to get it to read in the 6.0-7.0 range than I was when I was using the liquid test (i was adding one drop with the liquid test, with the meter i was having to add about 10 drops to a...

Something ate one of my plants up pretty bad, so I started keeping an eye out for bugs. My plants are in FFOF indoors. I discovered tons of white flies when I hit my plants hard with a fan, they came flying out like a cloud. I also noticed that they are in the soil, if I stir the soil up, the...

Is my plant is being eaten by something?.. I can't see anything on the bottom of the leaves with a magnifying glass. The holes started very small at the base of the leaves and as they grew, so did the holes. There aren't too many new holes but I do see some small ones forming on some of the...

It has now been 22 days since I put the seeds in the soil. They are in FFOF and have been their entire lives. I planted 8 at first but recently had to get rid of 2 because they just wouldnt recover from pH/overwatering problems. I've had the plants under a 250w MH for the past 2 weeks and I've...

I flushed my plants almost 5 days ago due to pH issues. They are in FFOF and are still very young, only about 2 1/2 weeks old. The problem is, they were already overwatered prior to the flush.. and now the soil is still very saturated. I read somewhere that if the roots sit in the moist soil...

I have been running my brand new 250w metal halide conversion bulb for maybe a week 24/7 in a floralux 250w HPS fixture from HTGsupply. All of a sudden today, it burns out.. On the inside of the arc tube I can see all this green crusty stuff and a little bit of brown caked onto the glass, it...

My light just went off.. starting making a buzzing noise. It is only 2 weeks old, been on 24/7. 250w florasun from HTGsupply with an EYE MH conversion bulb. The bulb looks like its got some greenish orangish liquid in it or something?? what the hell happened, what I am gonna do? I have a HPS...

My pH was way too high (i think) for my plants first 2 weeks of growing.. it is day 15 now since I put the germed seeds in the soil, I transplanted them into their permanent containers about 5 days ago and they got the first pHed water then. They all have some problems, twisty yellowish leaves...

As of about 2-3 days ago, I noticed my seedlings have kinda stopped growing and the leaves have taken on a yellowish hue (particularly the new growth) I realized the tap water I was giving them was 8.5+ pH so I immediately went out and picked up some distilled water which is lower between 5 and...

My seedlings have grown rapidly in the past few days. But I am starting to notice very small brown spots on one of em and a light yellowish hue on the leaves. One of them is wilted and looks like it is gonna die. They are in FFOF and I'm still trying to figure out proper watering, I still cant...

I'm planning ahead here. My grow space is 8ft high, 9ft long, and 4ft wide.. I will be flowering maybe 4 plants in one end of the room.. I have a 4in inline fan and carbon filter combo (170cfm), it is exhausted out the ceiling into the attic, will this be adequate for odor control? The area I...

So I musta accidently planted two seedlings in one cup :oops:. They both sprouted and look ok, but I'm worried about what Im gonna do to transplant em. I know I can't have 2 plants in one pot, so I'm gonna have to split em up. How can I go about seperating them without destroying their root system?

6 out of 8 of my seedlings sprouted yesterday. 3 look relatively ok, the other 3 look like complete shit. What is wrong with them? are they gonna make it? They are in FFOF, under a 125w CFL. The ones that look like shit are brown and dry lookin on the tips, and they arent opening up like the...

:dunce:I feel like I'm asking wayyy too many questions, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I looked today and noticed 2 out of my 8 planted seeds were kinda sticking out of the dirt a lil. One of them still had some seed shell showing and the tap root was slightly above the soil. Are they...

Just planted my germinated seeds in these cups and stuck em under the 125w CFL. I wet the soil, its not SOAKED but its wet. Its FFOF. Is there anything noticeably wrong with the picture? There is a fan blowing around them to keep the air circulating.. the temperature is around 20C. sadly I got...

So my 4in inline fan sounds like a turbine engine. I need to sound proof the room so that the fan isnt so loud in the other room. I was thinking of just putting egg crate foam on the far wall of the grow room (the one that backs up to the other room) has anyone had any succes with this??? The...

Question... I am germinating my seeds now. I have a 250w MH lamp. I am planning on putting the planted seeds under the 250w MH. I cannot go out and purchase any new lights, I am broke. How can I go about growing the seedlings with a 250w MH??? How far should I keep the light from the pots...

I got a 250w HPS lamp, now I realize its not gonna be enough and I shoulda bought a 400. If I just purchase another 250w lamp and run them next to eachother, will I be at a disadvantage? :confused:

So, this is my first grow. I have invested a lot of my time into researching, reading all the FAQs I can, browsing the boards, watching the videos and doing just about anything I can to gain knowledge on this subject. Despite my efforts I am still unconfident and or unclear on a few things. All...
