Every time my pump kicks on, my plant wilts! She perks right back up, but what's the deal? I cleaned my reservoir and flushed the coco/perilite media and added new nutes. Ph is reading 6.4. In week 6, was super healthy, loaded with hairy beginnings. Temperature? 10 Gallo res is under shallow 10...

Dabbing ISO oil. More like thick, sticky wax! Wish I could spin it clean. I want to make a centrifuge. Any ideas for one that goes 12,000rpm

I want to make a centrifuge. I've got a motor that goes 12,000 rpm. I'm thinking it needs to have about a 3 1/2" radius. Can you spin ISO wax/oil? Mine is kinda black. Can you spin bud right off the plant? Dried buds? Clippings?

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My plants are looking just about the same as your pics. How did you fix it?

This Blue Mystic has been doing fantastic till just recently. Her big sister is 2 weeks older, and much worse. She is in a 5 gal bucket with 3 equal parts Coco, Perlite, and Miracle Grow Potting Soil. At transplant, I put a soil tab from Nirvana down under the tiny sprout. Usually she gets...

HOW MANY PPM SHOULD IT BE? IS IT DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT STAGES? I've got both meters, ppm and ph. I added all the nutes from General Hydroponics Flora Grow system. I keep adding ph down till it gets to 5.5 - 6.0, I've got that part down. Then I keep adding water till the ppm gets to 900. My...

These ladies are in week 9. A bit small, but looking awesome, covered with triches. I'm fairly impressed, seeing as this is my second grow. I've got a 400w HPS, a 250w HPS, and two 300w CFL's. The two big lights are up high, and the CFL's are down low. My first grow was plain soil. This...

I am thinking about starting a new strain. I am looking for something that kicks like coffee. I want to get up and go. What is the most energetic perk-you-up strain?

Woo-hoo my plants are ahead of schedule, well into the flower stage at week 8. Looking forward to some killer smoke.

Ok, I learned something else about my last post, about the importance of flush/rinse. My algae problem didn't develop just because I didn't change my water. The main problem, and possibly the only problem was that I let light shine into my reservoir bucket. I had a piece of foil thrown over it...

Importance of rinsing media in an ebb and flow system. I just wanted to share something. I thought I could just keep adding water and nutes to my system without a rinse or flush very often. My plant died! It wilted and keeled over. I saved a couple clones, but lost the mother. When I pulled the...

I use my closet, about the same size as you described, I just got a carbon filter and fan, and I don't use any duct at all on it. I kill 2 birds with 1 stone with it, and have it blowing on my plants. I keep the doors closed, but it is by no means sealed, and the filter controls all of the smell...

Dead plant! Overnight my best, biggest lady just up and died! I've got 3 plants in half and half coco and soil, and one in a hempy bucket in pure coco and perlite with a pump cycling 3 times a day. The pump fills the bucket up to an overflow ebb and flow action. On week 6 now, and the...

AArrgg! I'm having trouble uploading pics, sorry for all the duplicates, I meant to put several different pics that I just took a few days ago.
