Hey dude, not sure why no replies, but definitely NO fertilizers while your seedlings are still establishing themselves. Dilute your fertilizers way down if you have to. But generally you should be able to go a few weeks without any nutrients. Fertilizers and nutrients are given after a few...

Ahh, ok. I'll be a bit more patient. I chose this "mom" by her aggressive growth, and the cutting reaffirmed that by rooting in 5 days. So I kinda expected the same results with her clones. I'll supplement some very weak nutes till she sprouts some roots! Thanks guys- as always, a wiki of...

Hey there - been cloning for a while, so I'm scratching my head in this one. I bought some NL seeds, grew them, took a cutting to make a mother, grew it compact and small, and then took about 10 clones about 10 days ago. I still haven't seen a root sprout out the sides of my jiffy cubes. The...

On your next grow, you can use a little Potassium Silicate AKA- rhino skin to deliver the silicate to help stiffen the branches along with the use of your fans. It's natural- silica is found in soil, so the plant up takes what it needs to grow stronger cell structure!:)

Wow, that's low. :-))

Well, instead of spending more cash on hard water nutes, it's just easier to pH down with my phosphoric acid. But at least I should be getting some cal-mag TDS in the tap water. I Also may look at RO water makers. In Southern Ont, there is lots of Limestone everywhere, and it finds it's way to...

Hey there folks, I'm just getting an idea of what people are seeing in their tap water. As of now, I think my soul pH is a little high causing a nute lockout. I've always notice that if I check tap water, it registers 0.4EC. Is that kid of high? My pH is around the 7.5-8.0 mark- ergo my plants...

Thanks 70's NB. I just checked my tap water- its ph 8. So I'm thinking maybe a bit of a nute lock-up is happening. Because it looks like I have N and Mg deficiencies.. Weird eh..? So I've just watered with pH 5.5 in hopes to lower that pH and inhibit nute uptake. Cross my fingers...

Ok- from what I gathered, purple stems indicate mostly a pH problem. It's odd, because I use tap water, my soil is peat, perlite, worm castings, blood and bone meal, and just recently a new top dress of the same soil with a bit of horticultural lime. But that lime was just added a 2 days ago...

Hey there- here are a couple of pics of this one that has it the worst. It's a pale green to yellow mottling, purple stems. I don't have a proper pH meter, but I suspect a Mg lockout due to higher pH values. I've been feeding just water, with a pH down solution, but its educated guessing from my...

Mg=magnesium Mn=manganese ;-)

...another possibility, could be soil pH? I have one of those soul pH probes, but it almost always shows 7.0...

Hey there- wish I could upload via my mobile phone, but I can't right now. Perhaps it's futile to ask without a picture, but maybe I'll try anyways. Leaves look healthy except for the fact they are loosing chorophyl. By that I mean, little pale blotches developing, but the color transition is...

Dude- you gotta listen to some Royksopp! There ate plenty of remixes as well, but that Swedish electro thing gets the job done!!

What about using a piece of screening layer over a good thick layer of rice.? That should work for small sample nugs...

Hi there- when we look for growth pattern for example, the obvious trait is rapid vertical growth. Are there plants that have rapid lateral growth too, or does that only come to play once you top the cola. I've tried to keep lights close to the top of the plants, in hopes to slow down vertical...

Thanks-happy 420 to you too!;-) I hope this thread continues on too. So far we've identified some real variables that peeps look for in a good Strain. I'd like to break it down some more and look for specific identifiable characteristics .

Thanks UB, for the explanations. It's good to understand how and when the plant turns on and shuts off their varios systems. I won't do anything to damage the roots, I'll just let her run her course and chalk this mistake up to experience. I could yes, if I see that I really get into a bind...

You can use H2O2, but beware, you will also kill your michorrizae herd living in your soil. But it's not the end of the world, you can always add more to later watering cycles and bring back the fungi.

When I use Potassium Silicate- I dilute 1/4ml to 1 liter of water. And I don't do that every watering. I do that every third watering. The Potassium Silicate will strengthen your stems and branches- kind of what Rhino skin does.
