House and Garden Nutes 700ppm 6.1 ph 65-70 temps The new growth on my plants is light green to yellow and somewhat mutated. Stems on one plant are a bit purple up towards the yellowish growth. I assumed this was a difficiency. Since the yellowing emerged I have been doing slight water...

Hey everyone, when i started about 2 years ago I started with dwc. After countless problems and solutions I've come to realize the only way to resolve some of my issues is to hang up the hydro dream and convert to soil. Any tips for starting out fresh in soil? I have a great grow shop here in...

i actually read it on a couple different sites. if you google 'small green seed (or ball) within calyx' there is a lot of information... although much of it is of course contradicting. i'm siding with them being ovules !

Hey Zaehet I'm curious as to how your harvest turned out, of if it's still blooming what the status is of the little green seed-like balls. I've got the same thing going on a month into flower, would love to hear an update!

any updates on this?

how did this turn out? after a lot of research have determined it "may" be the ovules in each calyx, small eggs or unfertilized seeds....

a polite bump here, if someone could clarify how plants actually use sugars as an additive in soil and hydro that would be great, or point to an article or other post. Thanks

so sugar feeds microbes in your root mass? I thought the plant actually used the carbs for resin production but I could be wrong. If the sugar feeds microbes or bennies wouldn't it be just as good to put in bennies and an enzyme to feed them instead of sugar? by enzyme to feed them I think...

be careful using any kind of molasses mix in dwc. I have the humboldt nutrients sugar additive "hydro honey", I only add in the last 2-3 weeks with a light dosage as it really seems to gunk up roots a bit. That being said, I noticed a significant difference in resin production with this method...

get the black buckets from your grow store

yes also what nothingtodeclare said, don't add bennies and h202, either do one or the other, personally I like populating bennies in my system as it seems more natural and stable

Hey man, first thing to do is make sure, and I mean damn sure that no light is getting into your rez. Second, make sure your temps are staying in a good range, a little high is ok but not ideal. Third, the bubbley froth can be two things. It was/is probably the great white or possibly your...

I remember reading a thread once where a member (i think his name was "no flush") who was advocating to not flush in hydro before harvest. I recall his argument being sound and somewhat scientific, does anyone remember this info or thread? Anyone have any info on not flushing in hydro? Thanks

I concur, I never had problems, started adding hygrozyme and now I get a frothy/soapy type film for a few days, and possibly some brown decomposing material that is similar to algae, and could be some kind of algae or bacteria. But after a few days of this things clear up and everything is...

ok, I never used any kind of enzyme or additive with my dwc set up and was successful for about a year no problems. I started adding hygrozyme a couple weeks ago and have been going through some things. First off, I am convinced Hygrozyme causes bubbles/froth in a well aerated res. Second, I...
