    My DIY UC: Roots Excel started some $%!^ and EWC Tea finished it.

    After spending a couple of years growing in an ebb and flow tray, I decided to build my own Undercurrent system gettogro style. I just wanted to share my experiences of being a beginner in DWC and fixing root slime quickly and effectively as most people suggest it's a matter of time before it...

    yay or nay for 6 weeks?

    Hey man.. I was really trying to start, but I was flying sideways so much I got dizzy =\ They look like they stretched, but nothing a deep transplant couldn't help if you choose. Otherwise I really dig your node spacing up above. FWIW I have a Northern Light in an ebb & Flow tray thats about...

    LST for dummies. (and cheepies)

    Hell yeah. It might be rare to say, but this is one exception: Thanks for the thread jacking lol. If you don't mind me asking a few questions. 1. How long was the veg period for this plant? Next to this plant is an auto that i decided not to FIM or Top since last time my auto didn't recover...

    LST for dummies. (and cheepies)

    This here is my third grow. I just figure we'll keep things simple with images. All of this accomplished using a square mesh pot and common kitchen bread ties. The main note is that underneath the cardboard is another bread tie pulling in the opposite direction of the first one. Critical Jack...

    Does ash color determine flushed/unflushed? - Let me make this REAL simple for you.

    honestly i've only ever done 2 grows. I'm still trying to get down my drying process with my environment. The proper drying i think is equally as important (maybe moreso) than the curing i'm thinking..

    Does ash color determine flushed/unflushed? - Let me make this REAL simple for you.

    Towards the end of my first grow i searched for hours and hours on here trying to figure out, does flushing make a big deal? how can i tell if what i've been smoking was flushed or not? blah blah. So I decided not to flush the plants in the tray and instead i took the first one out, put it in a...

    new guy sharing my first time hydro grow

    hey everyone. i know it's been forever since i updated.. sorry I bailed on pics from the last harvest, it really wasn't pretty. Smoked really well and was the smoothest i've ever had, but due to heat stress, it looked like shit. Last time around, I had a problem with about all of my plants...

    Hey everyone. A lot of progress has been made since my last update. My entire first grow has now been cut and harvested. the one Northern Lights that I had was by far the best smoke I've ever smelled/tasted in my life (got that seed free, World of Seeds NL x Big Bud) the bomb berry plants are...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    A few weeks ago I had some problems with timer failure coupled w heat stress. Some parts never recovered. Is it best to cut those? I read that if there is any "green" left on the leaf it's still being used by the plant. (I usually give the leaf a light tug and if the plant is ready it will let...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    hi all. This is my first ever grow and I am midway through my 6th week of flowering with a few different strains. 1 Northern Lights, one Big Bud, and 3 Bomb Berry. the NL I've noticed has most of the pistils retracted. These are growing under a 400W HPS in a hydro flood+drain tray. Using...

    Plant hospital

    hey guys.. could really use some help here. I have been having some problems with my timers lately (such as randomly turning on my lights at midnight while i'm asleep) I came home to check on everything and found my plants looking like this. currently 3 weeks into flowering 1000-1100 ppm (my...

    Plant hospital

    i need some help from you guys. I've got 3 bomb berry plants, 2 big bud and 1 northern lights that have taken quite a hit. my timer went on the fritz while i was away and didn't water plants for at least a day. They also grew a lot and the light needed to be raised from about 12" back to 23-24."...

    new guy sharing my first time hydro grow

    hey guys. It's been a few since i've updated. I was gone out of the house for about a week (scared as crap from not being able to check on my ladies) I come back to find that my timer somehow "reset" itself and lost its programming so for at least a day, there was no water. At this point, the...

    new guy sharing my first time hydro grow

    ahh.. now i'm feeling somewhat nervous.. i'm gonna do some checking on my roots. I don't top the res off every day (which could be a problem) I notice after about 2-3 days it has dropped significantly and i add more and correct ppm then PH. What temp should the water be? Sometimes i notice it...

    nutrients for hydro seedling help please

    when i sprouted mine, it was a while before i added nutrients. about 2 weeks maybe. My water is usually a little over 100ppm and the first dose i did totaled around 200-300 ppm. the following week when i changed water, i went up to 600ppm. The past week they've been at about 700-800ppm. Mine...

    new guy sharing my first time hydro grow

    Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm definitely paying pretty close attention to these. Last time i changed the water, it was set a little above 700 ppm, now it's gone up to more like 850 =\ the PH keeps increasing too. Does anyone know what the rising ppm means? (i thought it was due to the...

    new guy sharing my first time hydro grow

    Hey thanks for the replies guys. So far they have been planted for just about 4 weeks. I'm planning on taking a few snips now that they're a big bigger than the pics and putting them under a CFL for 12/12 so I can identify male/female. The current setup is... Single 400W Metal halide in a wing...
