Peace! Somewhat long time member here. I have decided to start a journal. I haven't in the past because I only wanted to post it in organics and I wasn't sure if that was ok. So here's the rundown of my op. 8 LED bar style lights(700watts I think), 3 ton(3 head) mini split, trolmaster...

Good morning. I should have made this post a while back when the problems started or even as they progressed. I thought I could handle it however it isn't getting better(worst if anything). A little background. 8 light grow. Plants are in 20 gal fabrics. I did one run here and for the most part...

Hello. So I started to notice these black spots some time ago during veg. I assumed they were nutrient deficiencies but I was wrong. Now im week 3 in flower and on the underside on my plants I have leaves that get those blacks spots soon curl, wither, and die. I don't think it is PM but I could...

Greetings and salutations. Been running into an issue and can't seem to get it right. The new growth on most my plants in veg is thin and much lighter. Plants don't seem as happy as I believe they should be. At first I thought it might have been PH but water was good. I planted them from seed in...

Hey peeps. So I was digging in the top layer of some soil and noticed the soil was moving! When I looked closer I noticed small white worm like bugs throughout the top layer. Looked like tentacles growing out the soil. I have seen springtails and others like within soil before but never like...

Greetings and salutations. What issues would a organic grower run into flowering in a 1 gal? High quality no til soil. I would feed a tea once a week, my own feed once a week (aloe, coconut, enzymes, aminos, microbes, etc) and then water once a week. I know this isn't the ideal way to do this...

I like their de and cmh lights alot. However not many reviews for them out. Id like to update my room with DE and CMH. I was leaning towards gavitas for DEs but i like the idea of having all the same company esp since they have what seems to be a pretty awesome controller (minus the fact that I...

Hello RIUers. So I have a bit of a situation. I inherited an old Fedders model mini split and have lost the remote to it. I have purchased a replacement remote however the new remote requires the unit to be powered on to identify the necessary code to operate the mini split. So my problem is...

So I am beginning another run in my 11x22 room and I would like to seal the room this time. I plan to run 6k Hps(part of the room will be used for storage....tanks, reservoir, ect.) I have a 24k BTU mini split and I plan on purchasing a C02 regulator to attach to Titan environmental controller...

Went to check the moisture on my soil that is 'cooking' and i found these tiny bugs crawling all over it. There are tons of them. They are very small mostly dark red with some smaller and white. Im supposed to be using this soil in a week or so. Please tell me im not screwed. What should I do...

Whattup RIUers! Hope all is well. So I am using my bathroom to dry in. I hooked up a 6 inch fan to exhaust at the top of the door(closed) and drilled some holes in the bottom of the door for intake. As of right now temps are in the mid to high 70s. Still gotta tweak it to get it lower. I live in...

Hello RIUers and fellow growers! So I am finishing up on my first run and I need some help on my drying area. I have a spare bathroom that isnt being used and I figured the would be my best available option. Of course I am concerned with doing this correctly....however Im also quite concerned...

Whussup fellow RIUers. So I purchased some clones awhile ago and im in week 5 of flowering. The only strain that i cant seem to get any concrete info on is this. I need to know average finishing time. The places I do get some info from all say she is a quick finisher. Any info on flowering time...

Somehow I blew the ballast for my 8 bulb T5 and my replacement ballast wont be here for a week. Im transplanting my clones and I was wondering if the T12 will work. Its a 2 bulb 4 foot fixture. I think each bulb is 40-50 watts....not 100% sure. At this point I have no choice but i thought I...

So im about to assemble a Living Organic soil from Buildasoil.com. This will be for 8 plants that are currently cloning. They will prolly be transplanted into one gallon pastic pots and then 10 gal fabric pots for flowering. Please let me know if this is a good start and if im missing anything...
