Had some major ph problems and most of the plant started yellowing. After making some changes, I can't tell if the plant is starting to return to a normal healthy green or if its just wishful thinking. I do know that the yellowing has stopped spreading, that I'm sure of. My question is, is it...

Anyone else have their tap water ph fluctuate drastically over the course of a year or so? I'm not talking about .3 or .5, I mean going from a low 6 to well over 8 in recent readings. I've got 4 or 5 solid grows under my belt using just regular ol tap water and recently its gotten to the point I...

Quick info.. 400w hps with cfls to supplement (hps is a foot or so away) 3/4 ffof 1/4 perlite temps vary from high 50's at night to low 80's during the day. (working on bringing those night temps up) 3 gallon smart pots no nutes moved to 12/12 a week ago ph seems to be between 6.8 and 7 with...

Everything but the LSD were freebies. The Wappa and Nebula are a pain in the ass to keep properly watered. They're either wilting from too much, or not enough water and it seems like they go from one extreme to the other rather easily. The LSD and auto seem to do great with the water schedule...

Last week I had noticed the Nebula wasn't growing quite as well as the other 3 and the only difference besides genetics was the Jiffy Pellet hadn't dissolved like the others. I pulled her up and noticed she was root bound inside of the pellet. I had to break up the majority of the roots to get...

Is it fairly common for seedlings to become rootbound within the peat pellets? Of the 4 planted, I had 1 that was looking pretty rough and with all conditions being equal I decided to take a look at her roots just to see what was going on. Basically the roots were circling the peat pellet and...

Is it generally a bad idea to place seedlings into large pots before establishing a root system with let's say a plastic party cup first? I can't really seem to find a definitive answer on this. I'd like to be able to avoid the shock from transplanting multiple times but if it turns out it's...

I'm using Foxfarm Oceans Forest and the last go round it burnt my seedlings (bagseed) to a crisp. I've read now at a couple of places that you should flush the soil before transplanting seedlings. Anyone else do this? I'm a day or two away from transplanting and I wanted to read up on it before...

I'm still learning but boy did I make a lot of mistakes my first two grows. I read and read and read some more but none of it really matters until you get some first-hand experience under your belt. Started off with bagseed using poor soil and poor lights mixed with some questionable decisions...

The way things are set up right now I've got 1 lady that's flowering under a 400w hps and some clones that are under a 24/0 schedule in a different room. What I would like to do is move the clones under the hps for the 12 hours the hps is on and then back to the cfls before it's time for the hps...

Right now I'm 12/12, noon to midnight. I'd like to change it to 9 am to 9 pm instead and I was wondering if I should try to change it an hour at a time or if it would be ok to do it all in one go?

I'm thinking this is a male, but I wanted to post a picture to see what others thought.

So I messed up by germinating too many seeds (first timer) and my problem is I don't have the lighting to properly grow what I've germinated. Basically I'm using 6 (total) 27 and 42 watt cfl's and that's just not going to cut it for the 9 seedlings that I have that are now about 2-4 inches tall...

I originally wanted to have 1-2 plants growing in a small closet using your basic small watt cfl bulbs. Unfortunately, I got ahead of myself and ended up with quite a few more and although they're still babies, my 6 27 and 42 watt bulbs are a bit lacking for what's in there now. My question...
