Oh yeh, I was referring to the powder in the tank when I talked about absence of contact with water.. The pebbles seem to only be covered in this powder if they're on top, all the ones that get regularly watered from the reservoir don't have the same problem. Regarding my water, I don't have a...

The only thing that confuses me is that the powder is in places where the water has not been...as in, one of the rubber thingy to seal one of the holes for the pipes has come off, so I'm not filling the reservoir to avoid overflowing water... so there hasn't been water where the powder is...

So do you reckon it's harmless for the plant?

I've used tap water to wash the pebbles, generally I use ph corrected bottled water that I leave opened for 24 hours before putting it in the reservoir, but I did use ph corrected tap water the last time I added water in the system, about 8 litres

I bought them brand new and washed them all clean. The only thing I could think of is that I have to treat the PH of the water I put in the reservoir cause the one in my house is too high, but there was no way I could fix the PH of all the water used to clean them in the first place...

Hello, I have been trying to grow in a hydroponic system for a while, but my room last year was not appropriate (basement in England, way too humid and not enough air circulation), therefore making any effort worthless. Anyways, one of the main problems that would happen last year is now...

Well I did cut it, I kept the main stem just because I felt like it would have been like having done nothing these months if I threw everything away :) I'll have to wait until September now, but I'll spend these months studying on how to improve my growing skills and find a place in my new room...

Yeh, I unfortunately thought so... At least I learnt my lesson: don't rush anything, be very careful with the nutrients, be sure the lights aren't too close to the plants nor too loose on the hangers, check the PH of water. I think all these took part in its death... What shall I do now? Shall...

Hi KC, So, I left my plant looking very sick, with all the main leaves already dry and yellow/brown-ish and some new green growth on top. I've come back last night after my 4 days trip and the plant got even sicker, plus this morning I woke up to see that the lights were off, I don't know why...

So, it still looks really sick, the new leaves are green but their tops look burnt, but I don't think they're burnt as the lights are quite far away and I'm only using 100 watts CFLs with three fans on at top speed, so it can't be heat stress either can it? I have starting watering her with...

Yeh, the pot drains well! The good news is that all the new leaves that are growing are bright green, especially the ones on top so I'm guessing it's a good sign? I bought a few bottles of distilled water today, I looked for CalMag but nobody sells it around here. I bought Verve Garden Lime, as...

So, today I have switched off my big 125 watt light and have 100 watt left on the plant, a lot of the leaves look burnt so I thought I should have done something about the heat. I have watered her with clean water and I'll go look for distilled water now, I'll also have to look for an...

Thanks so much for helping me, I really appreciate that. I've watered her with clean water as you told me, I have hard water around here, do you think it would be better to use bottled water or something like that? I'll see how it reacts and report here as soon as I have some news :)

I honestly don't know what the temperature is, but I do know the bulbs were too close to the top leaves and I have moved them further up. I give her 1 litre of water per day using Dutch Pro bloom nutes and the soil dries up pretty quickly, is it too much water for her?

Alright so, yesterday I checked on my plant and noticed some yellow and brown-ish spots on some leaves, as long as some curly dried leaves on the top of it. I think the curly leaves are due to overheat, so I raised the light bulbs a little, cause they were too close. For what concerns the spots...

So, after one of the two plants died, I decided it was time to switch to 12/12. I flushed the plant for 3-4 days under 125watt 2700k lights, now I've started giving her nutes and added another 125watt light. She's getting tall but there is still no sign of sex, let's hope for the best!

Thank you! The two plants always grew in a different way, the one that got destroyed last night was shorter but bushier, while the one that survived is, as you can see, taller and with fewer but longer leaves. I thought they might have grown in two different directions and would have been nice...

Thank you, you're being really helpful. At the end of the day, I bought everything I needed to grow a few plants for myself, so I won't have any other expense in the future set up wise. It's just a matter of time and let's hope my second plant wants to live and make me happy :D I'll keep you...

Well, I wasn't particularly lucky, so my lamp broke too, I should have a new back by tomorrow. But I'm still being positive. This is my only survivor, she's starting having some sick-ish looking leaves since last night, is it possible they were damaged by the light too, or is this something...

Unfortunately the light was quite heavy and fell exactly on the plant, it just smashed it and dried it completely while I was out last evening. I had to take it out of the pot and make a little funeral at 5 a.m. in my actual garden. Your plants look amazing tho :)
