I am just starting on soil, been doing hydro for a while now. I wouldn't use lemon juice, it will decompose from fruit juice to alcohol etc, haven;t used it, heard of it though. My wife uses lemon to put blond in her hair.... Get yourself some ph up/down and the local shop or online. I...

what size pot is that in?

I was running 2 1kmh with 1 600hps on a mover. - have sinced halved the size of the room and am down to 1 1kmh. Have harvested under mh and it works fine. In my opinion the hps trigers bloom faster when switching to 12/12

"Sigh I so badly wish that LED would work. " Me too bro me too.. "So I will probably just get 2 600 watt HPS for my 4x8 tent." 600 watt hps lumen to watt is the most efficient. I'll tell you though, I started with 125 watt cfl's then went to 400hps then 600hps, and am now at 1000mh (mh...

LED's have never been cheaper to manufacture, and we are seeing a surge in their popularity. LED's are great at producing large amount of luminescence for the watt. The LED it self tends to be very long lived. The spectrum of light that comes off the LED is very specific. While u can blend...

Re: What's wrong with my plant !? Look for the little crawling/flying freak that did that and kill em before he strikes again.... and hope he don't have kids. Check under leaves for small bugs, also check around soil/stem. Or there could have been a drop of water there when the light was...

I call shenanigans...

Re: "The Stretch" during flowering In my experience its the first 3 weeks or so. Once blooms are really going the stretch slows down and stops.

And now its been this long. I am 2 weeks away from harvesting the last few that were exposed to the sickness. I have also added CO2. I wish I had done that a long time ago. I noticed an immedtiate difference in the plants. Gnats seem to be staying away... No more evidence of those freaky...

so its been this long ... I got rid of the sick looking plants, and did as I said above. I havent seen any more problems so far...

used ge 3 to 5 stage under sink model with a 3 gal tank. 25ft nylon 1/4" tube quick connects a float operated fill valve from a toilet repair kit and the biggest rubbermade trash can u can get as a clean water storage tank. Filters can be bought at home depot / lowes / anywhere and cost around...

as long as you can keep the temps in line its hard to find a situation where more light isn't better..... go for both and some fans

So in this on going saga (which I keep talkin about just to keep my head straight), The guys at the Hydro shop (great place... make a trip just to see these guys) have set me on the path again.... I grew up so to speak using fossil rock, and expanded clay as my medium, then switched to 6"...

Thanks thats a good idea. I am still losing about a plant a week, and wondering if theres something else that would make just 1 plant suddenly turn and die out of a room?

So its been about a week with nematodes.... I definitely see less gnat activity, and no evidence of those freaky little worms. I am going to add another thing of nematodes and inoculate with a root booster (namely something called orca) in an effort to add recovery to these damaged root...
