    PH: Drops vs. Digital - What do you use?

    I've been looking around and PH meters lately and I've read in some places that digital PH meters need constant recalibration and that drops are more accurate. Right now I use a digital PH meter and I think it works quite well. What does everyone else use? Anyone swear by one kind or another...

    About 5 weeks flowering, leaves curling under

    Does anyone know if all those curled down leaves that look like bird claws will un-curl and become normal again? I've been flushing for a few days and I'm not sure how much longer I should go.

    About 5 weeks flowering, leaves curling under

    Haha, thank god you said that, I was really stressing out thinking I fucked myself over. But the buds are still looking great :mrgreen: I thoroughly flushed out my res yesterday and filled it with fresh, PHd water and I think I can see a little bit of an improvement in some of the leaves, but...

    About 5 weeks flowering, leaves curling under

    That's what I thought at first too. Will flushing the tank and using fresh water hurt the progression of the plant that isn't having any problems? Yeah, not something I wanted to do but the height of the plant was (and still is) a real issue for me, and my largest limiting factor. Any other...

    About 5 weeks flowering, leaves curling under

    Right now I have one Red Diesel and one Blueberry going in my hydro tank; like I said they're about 5 weeks flowering right now and things are looking great. The only problem is that many of the leaves on the blueberry plant are curling down and under themselves. Does anyone have any idea what...

    Botanicare feeding schedule question, please help

    I'm using a Botanicare feeding schedule and I noticed that under the Hydrogarden section it says you're supposed to use Pure Blend Pro Soil in weeks 7-10. So I'm supposed to put PBP Soil in my hydrogarden? Am I reading that correctly? Seems a little counter intuitive. Anyways, if anyone has...

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    Last update: (for anyone who comes across this thread with the same problem) Air was definitely the solution. I added probably about 10x more air than I had in the tank previously with other air stones and pumps that I had. After that improvement was visible overnight in both the leaves and...

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    Awesome, thanks for the response, man. I have another powerful air pump and another airstone or flexible airstone, I will add those today. My roots have never gone totally brown or gotten slimy; they actually look and smell fine. Unfortunately I haven't seen much progress in either direction...

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    Not much progress unfortunately.... nor are there many other suggestions or routes for me to take. I just bought a new air pump that is good for up to 40 gallons; it's definitely a big step up from the previous air pump I had (still using the 36" flexible airstone). I'm hoping that this will...

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    I have a single, 28gph air pump with a 36" flexible airstone that seems to be working just fine; it wraps underneath both my plants is produces a lot of bubbles. My reservoir is roughly 21x16x16, it's really not too tall or wide, but it is a little larger than is probably necessary. I emptied...

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    Roots look just fine, not discolored, don't smell, nothing like that. I changed the res on Monday and put new nutes and everything in. Both the water before and after the res change was cool, probably in the 60/70s. There is probably like 2-3in between the bottom of the net pots and the water.

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    So what are you saying? Should I not fill my tank up with as much water or something? I've never had this problem my last 3 hydro grows, the only difference on this one being that its a bigger res, 10g of water vs. 6g of water in the previous ones.

    Can you over-water a hydro garden? Please clear me up someone...

    Alright, plain and simple, one of my plants is pretty fucked up. It was fine until Saturday morning when I changed the water/nutes, then shit hit the fan.... Since then neither of my plants has really grown very well and one is hurting real bad. Here's a link to the thread with pics...

    Droopy leaves curling upwards....please help!

    Thanks man, I added the hydrogen peroxide today. How long before you think I should see some improvements? I was hoping to switch to flowering within the next week but I think I might have to postpone it cause of this.

    Droopy leaves curling upwards....please help!

    Hey everyone looking for a little help. I have a homemade hydroponic set; very basic: tank, pump, 24" flexible airstone, plants and lights (CFL). The plants were doing great but when I watered yesterday I noticed that my red diesel leaves drooped down significantly. Some of the leaves are...

    Nutrient burn? Would appreciate outside opinions

    Nutrient burn? Would appreciate outside opinions

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I've been flushing them now for about 10-14 days and there has definitely been improvements and growth. Unfortunately it looks like one of my plants hasn't totally recovered. As you can (hopefully) see in the picture the bottom most leaves are burnt and dead...

    Nutrient burn? Would appreciate outside opinions

    Hey all, I just started this grow about 2 weeks ago, got feminized Red Diesel and Blueberry. So far the lights have been on for 10 days. The Red Diesel plant looks beautiful, green and healthy looking, but the Blueberry has a yellowish tint to it and the edges are turning dark. It also feels...
