Bleaching to me is when the light is too close/intense in a specific spot. I think that the problem I'm experiencing is that the intensity of the light as a whole is pushing the plant to a level of growth that my typical nutritional regimen can't keep up with. I need to experiment with higher...
I agree. I don't think it's LED specific. It's just the intensity and I'm not sure exactly what adjustments will fix it yet. I'll report once I get to run new healthy plants
I've had the exact same problem using a spectrum king 400 led. I have two tents side by side one with a 600 and the other with the led, same strains, the only difference being the different lights. I read over on IC that you have to up nutrients to compensate for the increase in the plants...
So recently I had fungus growth in my soil and at the base of a plant of mine.
I originally was using FF Marine Cuisine which is a mix of quick release chemical nutrients for instant feeding and organic material for thereafter. After the initial release of chemical nutrients, you're basically...
But guys wouldn't knowing your ec/ppm be helpful in knowing how strong you feed is? For example, 2ml of Dyna FP has always worked for me from start to finish.... now lets say I were to switch over to Fox Farms line... I never follow the bottles instructions cause they tend to be too strong...
I actually didn't know that. Cool bit of info. my results have never been as good as premium soil brands unless I fix it up a bit, but the "Moisture Control" is the only one that I have had trouble with as is.
Guys please understand that my intention isn't to argue. I hate dick measuring...
Again, I have to politely disagree. As long as your soil has adequate drainage and oxygen levels, you will not run into root rot. the soil I used obviously did not.
I do it for stability. The deeper I bury the stem better the soil holds it in place IMO.
I've made a few fem crosses too but so far I haven't been as happy with the offspring as with the moms. Definitely want to do more seed runs too though.
Btw is it just me or does it seem like less places...
Just to be clear, you're right that excess moisture on the stem is bad, but properly aerated soil won't cause those problems. In fact an easy way to take clones from hard to clone strains is air layering which is basically covering a portion of a stem or branch with soil until roots sprout
You could actually bury half the plant if you wanted. Obviously, there would be no benefit to that, but soil burying a portion of the stem isn't the cause of stem rot. Lack of oxygen and excessive moisture is. In fact there are a couple threads around here fully dedicated to burying stretchy...
