    Do you see balls?

    I don't know what you thought we'd see that you didn't...lol

    Older Leaves Yellowing?

    Are you checking PH? 3 week old plants shouldn't be sheading leaves. Most people don't give many nutes early in veg, so you could have burned them. You should always wait until your pots go dry, then water until it's running out the bottom of the pot.

    First time grower. 17 day old seedlings. How do they look?

    How are they looking now that it's been a few days? It could just look a bit odd because it's a different strain. A few general comments based on your initial post... Be sure to wait until your pot is dry before watering, and water enough so that it runs out the bottom. Make sure the...

    First time grower. 17 day old seedlings. How do they look?

    That last pic looks like it might have a bit of a PH issue or something...I could be wrong, but the leaves look a bit thicker and "wrinkly"...what do you think, is it just me?

    anything wrong with starting in a 2 gal pot?

    I think it's because there wouldn't be enough root structure to take up all that water in the 2 gallon pot. The water in the bottom would sit there for a long time & maybe cause a root rot situation. And also, if it dies for some reason, it'd be a pain. Some people also change their soil mix...

    Thick, Dark Green leaves w/ Purple New Growth (pics)

    Just looked again & the veins are going yellow a bit too...My camera died, but I'll try to get more pics up later.

    Thick, Dark Green leaves w/ Purple New Growth (pics)

    The pictures don't quite do it justice. The 2nd one shows the issue the best. I just checked them this morning, and they're looking bad to me. Notice that the old fan leaves are virtually flat, but all of the new growth has very pronounced veins.

    Thick, Dark Green leaves w/ Purple New Growth (pics)

    Hello All, In an attempt to simplify with an "easy" pre-mix, I re-potted my 21 day old feminized master kush seedlings last weekend into a mix of about 2/3 Ocean Forest & 1/3 Miracle Grow Organic Choice (I know...). They were transfered out of Ocean Forest. I tend to "over-nute" so I thought...

    leaves getting crunchy

    I just looked back on the old posts and had a few comments. Foxfarm soil...I remember. definitely the way to go. Should be PH balanced out of the bag though, so that's wierd. Also, how many days since you transferred? If you haven't hit them with any nutes, they gotta be about ready. Gotta...

    leaves getting crunchy

    It's hard to raise soil PH with the drops, they're to control the water PH...you definitely need the up for when you add nutes to the water. They drive PH way down. I only use the down if I have to use tap instead of distilled and have to lower the PH. I've found for $1 a gallon, it's worth...

    The Difference Between Drying And Curing

    Curing is the stage after drying where the chlorophyll and other substances are depleted...proper curing helps with high & taste. I'm no expert, but this is what I think is best... Hang the branches upside down until the stems snap (usually 3 days) then trim the buds up, cut them off the...

    leaves getting crunchy

    They'll like the new soil better. If you're going to flush, use 3x the amount of (PH Balanced) water it takes to run out the bottom. This will balance the soil PH and strip salts out. I like to do it with distilled myself. You'll need some nutes on them, especially if you flush. Be sure to...

    Computer fan question

    You can find fans that will run on AC, the ones straight out of a PC are DC and need a power supply. People may have easy ways to convert them, I don't know. You can find them on ebay & other places on the net. How big is your light? If you're using any sort of HPS, this will not be enough...

    Raise the PH of soil?

    Flushing with properly PH'd water will raise your soil PH also. Add powdered Dolomite lime to your soil mix when mixing & it'll help balance the PH. 1-2 tbps/gallon of soil.

    why Molasses????????????

    I didn't think about still getting a good read off the runoff...good idea. Did you notice any yellowing or anything as a result?

    Does it matter where my intake fan is? Another quick question also. +rep

    The long duct work creates a lot of flow problems for the fans, shortening it up with help. I'm still a little confused about the setup...You should have the exhaust fan at the top of the tent exhausting hot air out. Do you have a fan on the intake? If not, add a fan to that too, it'll help...

    why Molasses????????????

    The one thing I struggle with using molasses is that I don't have a good meter & just use the PH drops. I can PH the water before adding the molasses, but I'm not sure the affect it has on PH. I used it on my last grow & thought it was causing me potential problems, any one have any idea how...

    Help Quick brown spotting lower fan leaves spreading fast - I have pictures

    Do you check the PH of your water & the runoff? I trace almost every problem back to PH in some way it seems... Also, I think if you're paying for water, get distilled...the purified stuff may still have minerals in it.

    how much water for a flush?

    I'll get to flushing after I comment on your watering... Most people use the "lift the pot" method for determining when to water. Basically, pay attention to roughly how heavy the pot is when you first fill it with soil. First off, you should water until it runs out the bottom of the...

    Always add this to your Potting-Mix!

    I swear by it...same brand even. 1 tbsp per gallon of soil works well for me. mix it in there a few days before you pot.
