Help!!! My small grow has become infested (apparently overnight) by a small, brownish-greyish, grasshopper looking creature. They have consumed several leaves of my 14 day old plants. I have seen recipes for homemade insecticide using a diluted version of dish soap. 1 to 2 percent per...

What do i have? I was digging around a new seedling and found a small, white, flea-like creature in the soil. What kind of mite and will it affect my more advanced seedlings two weeks older. I removed the infested one. I'm using brand new soil fresh out of the bag. WTF! My room is clean...

I need help. My wife has been telling me that for years but this time I really mean it. My first grow with AK48. I've no experience with this strain so I thought I'd take it easy and start with three plants. After two weeks I'm ready to throw in the towel. Two of the plants look the worse...

I currently have three AK48 that are nine days in soil. One looks great and the other two are much 'weaker' looking. Thanks for the kick in the balls mother nature. I'm worried I may only end up with one plant. I all ready know that I should have planned better. Another lesson learned. I...

I just started my second grow. Cracked three AK-48 seeds and stuck them in the ground same day, same soil and under the same environmental conditions. PH 6.5, 20/4 lighting under 400w MH in addition to 3 200w CFLs with reflectors, three sides of my 'open style' grow box are mylar and the...

Hey I've been using the same gallon water jugs for about four months now. I usually fill a couple with tap water and then balance my ph to 6.5 and measure the tds of my tap water around 246 ( I don't know if that is good or bad or what to do about it). I noticed a light green algae growing...

Hello everyone. I've just completed my first (trial) grow and am setting up for my second. I started my first grow and went all the way through with 400 watt HPS. Started with two seedlings grown from unknown strain. Pulled the boy at four days into flower and grew the female for eight...

What is causing a select few of my leaves to turn like this? One leaf is near the top. The other two are about two thirds down. 400w hps about 17 inches above my girl and she's 32 days old and 17 inches tall. Using MG with six months continuous release 21-7-14. I water every 4 days. I was...

Is it okay to grow from start to finish under hps? I have a 400 watt mh/hps interchangeable fixture and misunderstood which bulb was which. I was going for five weeks under mh and nine weeks under hps but messed up. I guess I learned something. Here she is at four weeks.

I've seen a lot of pics of plants with their lower limbs trimmed off. I've read a lot of opinions on the topping of plants and what about the trimming of fan leaves. What is the correct balance of all previous mentioned. What exactly is it that I'm looking for when it comes to shaping my...

I'm curious and also because I rotate my plant and sometimes when I do (leaves) and sometimes the top of the plant wants to bend or lean away from my fan. She's 10 inches tall and under a 400w mh. She is three weeks old and under 18/6 cycle. Thanks for any ideas. My question is in my title I...

Quick question pertaining to lighting. Right now my plants are going 20/4 under 400w mh. Plant is two weeks old. The advice that I am seeking is do I begin ramping down number of light time say a couple of hours a week or do I just keep vegging and go abruptly 12/12 under hps at say 5 weeks...

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say that I've posted a little in Newbie Central and have received a lot of help. Thanks to each and everyone of you who have helped me.

What is the best time for transplanting to a larger pot as far as the light cycle is concerned? Growing on a 20/4 right now. Seedling is eight days old. I'm in a one gallon and want to go to a five gallon. Growing in MG potting soil. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yea, that's right, I named her. She's (all fingers are crossed because I honestly don't know her sex yet) looking strong after a scary incident where she was knocked over by my fans. One week old under a 400w MH, miracle grow potting soil, water ph 5.9. No nutruients for a while under the...

I don't know what green is suppose to look like but does my seedling at 2 1/2 inches tall at one week suppose to have this very distinctive straw colored spine down the middle. I mean it really stands out. The leaves are very dark green.

My grow closet is getting too hot I think. We are experiencing very hot temperatures and drought conditions outside. My closet is upstairs and the heat is bad. I don't use a cool tube. Just a couple of fans. I don't know what soil temp is but air temp at seedling level is 91 degrees. I'm...

Okay. I wish I had started with FF Ocean Forest but I didn't. I used MG. Now I am confused about when I should fertilize. MG says it can feed for 6 months. I think it's 21-7-14. To feed or not to feed that is the question. I can get FF Grow Big and FF Ocean Forest at a local greenhouse...

Is 18-18-21 okay to use when vegging? I live in a REALLY small town and resources are few. If it is okay how often should I use it? My wife also has 18-24-16. I think it's like rose food. Maybe I'll order something better from the net. I hate paying shipping. The higher the nitrogen the...

This is my first posting and kinda more or less my first grow. Right now I have a 400w MH/HPS in a small closet. I'm using Miracle Grow (I'll change that next time) potting soil and water with 5.9 ph. I'm in a small closet and am using a stationary fan to blow the heat out with the door...
