    calcium deficiency??

    That looks like an old deficiency, or overwatering, can we see the rest of the leaves on the plant? Are you still having one finger leaves?

    I've got $30! Spend on light spreader or light raiser?

    I'm on a budget and need your advice! Would you spend $30 on a light spreader (1000W HPS for 4x5 area in NFT re-circ hydro) a la the Super Spreader OR would you spend it on a light raiser/hanger that would make raising/lowering hoods a breeze? I currently have to drag a ladder in and raise...

    Actinovate? Powdery mildew

    Eagle 20 will cure and prevent it. Just don't harvest within 2 weeks. I used to constantly get PM, Eagle 20 got rid of it and didn't cause any stress or nutrient sensitivity. Now I use every round in veg as preventative.

    Hi All, I just started week 7 of flowering Chem Dawg and they are not moving at all! Does anyone know what to do to get them swelling again? I've been flushing and flushing with either Clearex or plain R/O and a bit of Carboload. A few new white hairs have popped up, but overall it looks...

    Several problems/questions

    Looks like nitrogen & possibly phosphorus deficiency to me. I've had that purpling on the leaves too when I had root mites and the plants weren't able to uptake the nutrients. I would immediately do a foliar spray of bloom nutrients and a soil drench of Neem. If the plant starts coming around...

    Who's battling root aphids?!

    You need to capture one and examine it under a super magnifying glass to really identify what it is. It could be an aphid, but it's probably a mite. Sorry, but you will have to go hard core in your treatment, believe me. You will have to use Avid or Imidacloprid or something similar, plus an...

    Overfed or deficiency? Help needed with AF!! Pics!

    Did you try the H202? To answer your question about humidity, personally I use a smaller portable air conditioning unit. That dries out the air and cools the temp simultaneously. You'll have to figure out a good venting set-up for a smaller grow area. Also, make sure your reservoir is at...

    Overfed or deficiency? Help needed with AF!! Pics!

    You can water with H202 to get rid of the root rot. Get that plant out of the heat. I had some Mother's in a small hut and a few looked identical to yours. I had overwatered and my 400W HPS was too much for my small hut. My temp guage said it was also only in the 70's, but the space was just...

    How do YOU support your buds after tying-down?

    What kinds of things do you tie them up to? I usually make a "grid" out of string on my bigger plants, but not sure what to do with the smaller ones. Suggestions? Thanks guys!

    How do YOU support your buds after tying-down?

    Hi Guys! I'm doing Low Stress Training to my OG plants. I'm in week two of flower and they're about 4.5 feet tall. How do you go about supporting the weight of the flowers with LST??? Before doing LST, I would use stakes to help support them, but not sure what to do now...Do I release the...

    Tiny bugs living in soil PLEASE HELP

    I may have the same bugs you are talking about, root aphids. They do not fly, they live in the rockwool/soil, and totally destroy your yield. I've had them for waaay too many harvests now and have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them. Yes, diatomaceous does work, but only when they come up to...
