If I can help anyone thats unsure about problems..

I will try my best to give you a simple solution to your problems
I just bought an ebb n flow table for 10 plants. Ive been doing tons of research and havent found anything out about the timing cycles for flooding the system..... is this just basically a trial and error type thing, or is there a suggested timing for it.

Yea don't use that beer tap. i had done that to my first grow. a buddy said it would work 2 days later it was dead? no shit and the closet i was growing in was 6x6. find a diffrent regulator and lower psi level way to high but do what u want. it may r may not die if you do hope for the best cause thats a shits load i haven't grew that much but i know enough not to do that?

hi need a bit of help. my plants are 9 days old and there growin quite tall . how far should they be from the light (envirolite 125w blue) . i started at about 80 cm for the first few days then put at 50cm i checked them this mornin and some of them look top heavy . is this due to the plant chasing the light . should the light be closer thanks

What size Sun Hut grow tent would I use for either 20 Sog plants or 8 more mature plants. If you would also recommend 4 or 5 different sog strains . I love Sativa dom species.'
Thanks

the lights should be approx 3 inches from tops if the lights you are using dont throw off much heat im using cool white flueresent lights to start my babies which dont realy throw off much heat but work well you dont want them to stretch to much

i live with my girlfriend in a two bedroom apartment, i would like to grow a few plants (SOG method) in a bedroom closet. my only comcern is, do i have to worry alot about apartment workers snooping around in my apartment? i have never lived in an apartment so im not sure what to expect. I have been here a little less than 2 months and havent had anyone want to come in unless i request it.....So lets say i decide to grow a few plants in this small closet, if i have an emergency and must move the plants, how long will they survive with no light? i would prob have to put them in boxes and put them in my car/trunk to think of a new place to move them....I would like to tryout the UFO LED 90 watt for my flowering, and a fluorescent for my mother plant. i will have only 2 square feet for the mother and i will have just enough room to have 6 square foot pots for flowering.Any suggestions or advice?

Okay, here's one. I've got some White Rhino and some Mint both growing in soil. They are currently in the veg stage, 18 hours a day, under a 1k metal halide. Temp stays steady from about 74f lights off to about 78f when the lights are on. Humidity is about 30-40% with plenty of fresh air.
They start out looking good and growing like I would expect, but recently, the newer growth is all starting to turn lime green, the leaves are curling under, but not curling and cupping/canoeing like a typical nute burn. All of the new growth is remaining very small and the stems a somewhat purple, while the stalks are even more pronounced in their "purpleness" and are quiet woody. I've been feeding them with a good veg fert at about 800 ppm, but I have a feeling my problem, once again, is the Ph of the soil. Last time I checked the runoff it was only about 6.0-6.2 maybe a bit lower. I don't want to try and just throw more nutes at the problem, and when I first prepared the potting soil I added the recommened amount of dolomite lime to help bring up the soil Ph, but it doesn't really appear to be doing the job.
I also don't want to start throwing epsom salts at it if it's an Mg lockout problem casued by the low Ph. If you think it's the soil Ph that's causing this problem, do you have a suggestion on how to get the Ph up? If you think it's something else, I'm interested on your input about that as well.
I don't have any currect pics, but could get some loaded up in short order if my description as to my problem isn't clear enough.

** A couple of more things, the leaves are really ridgy, kind of like a Ruffles potato chip, but obviously not as pronounced. They're not flat and smooth as they started out originally. They also appear to have lost they're luster and look somewhat dull/dry, but not crispy. They just aren't nice and green and supple as a healthy plant would be.

Thanks in advance for your help.
