    Bug problem

    I have been noticing white spots on my leaves for about 2 weeks and it is getting worse. I pulled a couple leaves and looked underneath and found the critters shown in the pictures. I've successfully battled powdery mildew, fungus gnats and of course nutrient problems over the years indoors but...

    Bad DNA or Stress?

    I just finished a grow, all plants except one turned out perfect. This particular one, during flower grew to near 6' and I couldn't keep it under the lights without a good supercrop. I had to do this multiple times well into flower. The buds seem somewhat compact but almost like the calyx's are...

    What RH is too high to dry trim

    I just moved to an area with higher humidity than I am used to and am worried about mold if I choose to dry trim. My RH is between 52-58% and temp will be about 70 degrees during drying. Will my humidity be ok to not worry about mold providing I have adequate air flow? What would be the...

    315 CMH Problem

    I have a 315 CMH that started failing a couple days ago and I am wondering if anyone here knows much about them. I have used for 2.5 grows veg thru flower with no problems until now. Wat happens is that when it is cold it starts, then begins to get brighter then shuts down after about 1-2...

    Don't do what I did

    This year I decided to leverage cloud-based automation in my grow room, and it turned out to be an absolute failure. Here are the issues I encountered in case anyone else has similar non-brilliant ideas. 1) I wanted to use a smart plug to monitor power usage plus schedule on/off times using a...

    New growth turning light green

    I've been trying to figure out what is causing this, I've never encountered it before. I am using Roots Organic soil and just started feeding with Fox Farms 7 days ago when I saw this start, figuring they were calling out for nutes. That feeding was at 50%. I decided to do 100% 4 days later...

    Slow down girls

    So I have a problem that I've never experienced. I am growing some Strawberry Banana and some Blackberry Kush in a grow room and am finding the Blackberry is growing far taller (30%) and thinner than the other girls. I thought I did my due diligence in picking strains but apparently the pheno...

    Adding Phantom Pheno 440 to room

    I just started veg with 3 plants in a 4x4 area in a 10x10 room. 2 plants have Spider Farmer SF-1000's in a 2x4 area over them and the other has a 315 CMH (3200K) over it. I had one extra plant I was going to toss but just won a Phantom Pheno 440 in a raffle so am thinking of removing the 315 CMH...

    When to transplant clone from aeroponic

    After nearly 3 weeks I am seeing roots start on my Purple Monkey balls/Fire OG clones but am unsure when to transplant to soil. Right now there are a lot of what looks like spikes about 1/4 inch to 1/2 long running outward from the stem. At what point will I want to transplant? Thanks all...

    Can't seem to figure this out

    I have 4 plants in their 5th week of flower and can’t figure out why the leaves are yellowing in the middle of the plant, turning brown and dying. This just started occurring 1.5 weeks ago. I water every 2 days with nutes added once a week. PH runoff is 6.5, ppm 850, using 1000 W HPS 12/12...

    Lockout?

    I have 5 plants that have been looking fantastic for almost 3 months. They are 1 month into flower and I am seeing an issue in 2 of the 5. The 2 plants are at the back of the room and do not get the same airflow from the fan blowing on them which is the only difference I can think of. The 2...

    BHO Pack Rat Beds?

    This is going to sound a bit crazy but a friend of mine dried some plants in my cellar and pack rats made off with pretty close to 4-6 oz of some nice girl scout cookie flowers and made beds with it. Half of it is in boxes with only buds in the beds and the other half mixed with paper, poop...

    3 weeks left, major yellowing on 50% of leaves

    I've been using the same soil, nutes and schedule for the last 2 runs with no problem at all but my current one is having a major issue with a lot of the leaves, both fan and sugar turning yellow and some fan leaves even falling off. The only issue I've had is that the temps did get down to 58...

    Need to dry in flower tent

    I just cut 2 ladies and have no choice but to dry in my flower room. Temps are around 70-78 lights running 12-12, 5 x 5 tent w/600 HPS. I wrapped some black plastic sheeting around them loosely in an inverted cone shape and placed dark material on the floor to help with light reflection. Also...

    Smart Pot Effects on PH & PPM

    I recently checked the PH and PPM from runoff in a #5 Smart Pot which came out about what I expected but it had me curious whether the Smart Pots might affect the PH or PPM in the run off. Does anyone know?

    Change light schedule 1 week into flower

    I changed my light schedule to 12/12 about a week ago but it is just getting too hot during the day in a 2 x 2 x 5 tent with 450 watts HPS so I've turned it back to 300 Watts on my digital ballast which should keep temps around 86 max but suspect it will get hotter in the next 8-9 weeks so am...

    Remote monitoring of tent environment

    I just started my first grow a few weeks ago and it's going great thanks to all the posts I read on this site. I wanted to contribute something I found very useful. I am big into home automation so decided to buy a Netatmo weather station and put the indoor module right in between my babies...

    2x2 Tent

    I just went to a hydroponics store looking to start working on building a 5x5 grow tent and they sold me on a 2x2x5 tent to get seeds going by laying it on its side. It included an exhaust fan, clip fan, nutes and 2 2 lamp T5's. This was around $300 so instead of investing another $1200-1500...
