Hello Mutt, This was also my problem during my first month of growing and one of my friends taught me how to determine the amount of water my plants needed.. So...this is what I did and you can try it too: 1. First thing in the morning, check the amount of moisture present in your soil. Put...

It's good that you took the chances of cutting off the almost dead ones, it would really help your plants. Well, let's just hope for the best. I think it would be very helpful to us (new members) if you could post some photos for us to see the progress of your babies. I'll be very excited to see...

Vinegar can really help lowering soil’s ph level. However, low soil’s ph might affect the growth of plants. Too much use of vinegar hinders the ability of the plants to absorb water and nutrients. If you are to use vinegar to stabilize your soil’s ph level, I would suggest to use household...

Soil’s ph level really matters because if it’s not on its proper level, plants might lose the ability to absorb the essential elements required for healthy growth such as: Nitrogen (N) for leaf and stem growth, Potassium (K) - essential for disease-resistance growth, Phosphorus (P) - important...

Re: Possible problem with knats The best thing you can do to really get rid of gnats is to cut off their food supply. Gnats love fungus, and fungus loves moisture! Stucked foods like overripe bananas or peaches and over-watered plants are some of the many sources of fungus and moisture. You...

When testing your soil’s ph level, make sure it’s dry because if soil is wet, it might give you a false reading. I would suggest to check your soil more than once to verify the accuracy of your PH results. PH is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. 7.0 is neutral. Below 7 is acidic or sour Above 7...

The most aggressive way of lowering ph level of soil that I know is adding pure sulfur. You can also try adding organic matter to improve the structure of your soil. :high-five:

I would suggest to spray them all because mites multiply quickly. If you are just going to spray the 5 plants that was infested, you might not be able to get rid of the eggs. Mites lay eggs after they mature in about two weeks after hatching. :high-five:

I used vinegar if ph is too high and baking soda if ph is too low. It works well on my plants. You can try it too!:cheertwo:

Thanks so much for your help:). Really appreciate it!

My wife and I are looking for a natural pesticides for our garden. We don’t want to use chemical pesticides anymore because it triggered bad health condition to one of our children. She had several episodes of asthma attack after she sniffed the chemical pesticides that we sprayed on our garden...

Yes, GiGaBaNE is correct. Street lights, or even car lights & interior lights at home can disrupt the flowering period of plants. Most plants need a dark period for their overall health and well being.

You need an in-line fans and blowers. For proper cool air circulation inside the grow tents, you need to install an intake and exit valve. Put the intake valve near the bottom (lower right back corner) and the exit valve at top left back corner. Make sure that the intake valve is bigger than the...
