lol hes like riu,s version of the stig. some say he once rolled a blunt so big it could be seen from space, and that at night the pot pixies tend to his garden, all we know is hes called fdd2blk.

i once drank two week old unrefrigerated shroom tea,and spent the next 4 or 5 hours randomly losing conciousness and collapsing, worst trip i ever had!

the algae shouldnt affect the ph, but if your still worried about it try what i suggested earlier and cover the tops of your buckets with blackout plastic. the algae cant grow in the absence of light. if you have any hydrogen peroxide(h2o2) then adding this to your res will also kill it. just...

flushing all your buckets again with ph adjusted water and low ppm again is all i can think of at the moment, that and a res change, hopefully some of the other guys that do hydro here will have some ideas what else it may be.

algae shouldnt affect your ph,but it does cause other problems, i cover my nfts with blackout plastic,doing the same with the buckets couldnt hurt.

well yeah thats a pretty large amount, it would take some flushing before you would get that to maintain a stable ph. have you got any rockwool experience prior to this?

how many buckets in your set up? you mentiond they were 5 gallon,im just thinking you may be dealing with large amounts of rockwool, i use the smaller blocks in nft,and know it can mess your ph,but as you say after three weeks and all that water it would be unlikley.

@ theblack, did you set your rock wool at the desired ph before you started your grow? i mean did you soak it in pre ph,d water to begin with? i ask because not doing so could lead to this,rockwool has a high ph straight from the manufacturers.

lol, the link works.

sorry dude not sure how to make a link but checkout www.growell.co.uk, they have anything u could need(reliable to).

doing a search on spider mites will get u all the info u need to combat them, it may not be easy to wipe them out in one go,but it depends how well u clean/disinfect the room. i would try to find possible sources for the infestation,when they got into my room i put it down to being in close...

the best thing to do is examine the leafs with a magnifying glass,look for the mites under the leafs, the damn things are tiny,like a speck of sand with legs and its easy to miss them until they infest the plant.

they will leave the weed as it drys,as its no longer a food source for them, but you should defo clean your room top to bottom(neem oil),also try to find how they came to be there to start with, usualy they travel in air currents so filtering air entering your room may be an idea,dry dusty...

if you look closely you can see that the leaves are infact "spotty",this is caused by the mites chewing on the leaf surface, and sucking out the juices,thousands or tens of thousands of these tiny bites causes the leaf to take on a yellow appearance, similar to certain deficiancys,but its the...

i think you are mistaken bout the nute burn,that is classic spidermite symptoms, you can see some of the webbing in the 1st pic of the first post,you really need to get your room clear of these before u do anythig else.
