    First soil grow, plant has taken a bad turn in flowering 5th week

    Thanks for the input. I'll try what you suggest. Humidity high and low 34-47% Have been watering every day. The temps have changed since I put the 150 HPS high went from 96 degrees down to 82 degrees low of 70. Have not been watering with 20% runoff. I'll try this. Top most part of plant looks...

    First soil grow, plant has taken a bad turn in flowering 5th week

    I'll look into CO2 but the small size of my cabinet might be overkill. I'll try the single 150 HPS instead of all the smaller lights

    First soil grow, plant has taken a bad turn in flowering 5th week

    I’ve been running a bunch of different lights. I bought a Sun System® HPS 150 Grow Light Fixture I was going to use for the next grow. I could try to remove all the LED, CFL’s and put the single 150 HPS light. That might help with the temp issues. I’ve included a close up of the plants...

    First soil grow, plant has taken a bad turn in flowering 5th week

    Some of the lower leaves are turning hard. If I bend them they crack. This is what worried me this morning

    First soil grow, plant has taken a bad turn in flowering 5th week

    Hi, Jerry here, I'm in my first soil grow, did a few using hydroponic grows, I know I'm doing it backwards, I'm in my fifth week of flowering and my plant began to take a bad turn. I'm using a 200 W CFL, a 300 W LED, a 150 W CFL and a 200 w CFL. Everything was going well until the top most...

    How big of a reservoir should you use. How to upload an entire journal at once?

    I've just finished my first grow. The reservoir I used was a 20 gallons Rubbermaid Tote. My problem was I had to put so much water in the thing to just be below the roots. It was a lot of work. As my grow got larger, I began to realize they were going to grow into my lights so I switched the...

    What led is best value for small grow

    I looked online for quite a while and on craigs list for low cost LED's. What I found is people are selling 90 watt UFO's but they want too much for them used. I ended up buying a cheap Chinese LED on Ebay. I spent about 200 dollars and got a 300+ watt led. Its worked like a charm. Some people...

    Switching to LED on a budget?

    for what its worth I bought a 320 watt 3w Led Chinese knockoff and its been working great. I didn't know you have to kind of slowly trade up to the LED from say CFL's. I had six real healthy girls that I moved from my lower seedling area and when I put them under the led full time they almost...

    first homemade cab

    I built a cabinet out of a kind of existing metal cabinet, its 36 wide, 18 inches deep and 72 inches high. I'm now realizing I should have had it at least 24 inches deep. Too late now. Just a thought.

    How close to Net Pots should the water be in DWC?

    The air pump I'm using has two air out, outlets. I tried to add two more stones but there does not seem to be enough power to get the last two to bubble. I guess another pump or stronger pump is called for. Thanks.

    How close to Net Pots should the water be in DWC?

    I think I've got mine too far away from the water. I'm like five to six inches away. I'll add more water tonight. Thanks.

    Highest watt led in small cab?

    First I'm very new but this is what I have found. I have a small cabinet, I was real worried about the heat from the big lights so I went with a 300 watt, 100 3 Watt LED. I'm fairly poor so I went after much debate with a China knock off light. (I paid 227.00 on ebay) When I put my little...

    How close to Net Pots should the water be in DWC?

    How close to the net pots should the water me in my reservoir? I had a 25 gallon Reservoir but it caused my plants to be too close to the lights so I dropped it down to a 14 gallon reservoir. Just wanted to know the average size reservoir was?

    Just made the transition

    I'm very new, have you noticed if you have the led lights too close to the leafs they tend to look like the color fades? Is this common?
