    Seedling just won't grow. I don't get it.

    I'm guessing this is the only one you have at the moment? Or is there more? We need more info to help you brother, can you answer me the following questions. Where is the seedling? (Eg, Propagator) What has the seedling sprouted in? (Eg, Rockwool) What light do you have over it and how...

    New to soil.......

    Just had a quick look at FoxFarm Soil and it seems to have quite a lot in it. To prepare your soil just fill your pots with soil and give them a shake to sit the soil in place. Then fuly saturate your soil using pH corrected water (Anywhere between 6.0 and 7.0) . Let the pots stand wet for 24...

    Plants reaching for light??

    Your plants will also stretch if your ambient temperature is too high when your lights are on and the temperature drops too low when the lights go out. Evening out your temperatures so that there is a minimum of a 5 degree C drop will help in this situation.

    Beside the fact that your internode lenghts are hugh resulting in a leggy stretched plant they look good. If you were to keep the plants shorter and bushier, your stems would probably be much thicker. The lights you have can only penetrate so much of the plant. The further the plants leaves are...

    Getting 12 more plants,should i feed the same?

    Depends what hydroponic system you are using? If it's a recirculating system then you will probably run into a lot of pH flucuation problems as your water lowers, so keep your eye out for that one. If it's a run to waste system then the only problem you should have is having to phisyically be...

    What's Wrong?

    pH has a massive impact on the availabilty of nutrients to your plants. It can turn a good grow into a great grow. A lot of plant problems I have whitnessed have been down to incorrect pH. Just checking your nutrients pH levels can save you a lot of trouble and only takes a few seconds with a pH...

    Seedling Problems

    These plants look like they have done some serious stretching. This will mainly be due to the lack of light they had previously. When the light is not sufficient enough for the plant, it will stretch up trying to find the light. The red/purple will be due to over fertilisation, feed with plain...

    What's Wrong?

    Ok, next time you water make sure the soil is fully saturated. Pick up the pot and note the weight. Now the next time to water is when your pot feals roughly half the fully saturated weight. Tap water has a lot of chlorine. Chlorine is deadly to plants. The amount of chlorine in tap water can...

    What's Wrong?

    The soil has no fertiliser added, it uses organic materials to help nourish the soil. Answer me a few questions please. Are you checking your pH before you water your plants? What is the temperature of your water just before feeding? Have you added any fertiliser to your water, if so...
