Hey snow thanks for the info on the carbon filter. I do have another question. I have been growing a new bag seed strain these are the four I just grew. Are the white tops indicating that they are males or is that just the strain that does this?? Im thinking all males because there is no white hairs after two weeks just one started growing balls ant the rest have these white growths ate the top of each budding site. I just need one male not 4 hoping tomorrow I will see some hairs on at least one of them but just need you opinion on the sex....
Sorry man, the pictures are a bit blurry in the area in question but they all look like dudes to me.

ok so.. im kind of lost now... i changed the water... ran some water thru the rockwool... i adjusted the ph... had the ec PERFECT (so i thought; 2.0 bcuz my baby is about a month). nutes, i use flora nova 7-4-10.. i honestly got rid of the older one because it gettin an better... and with hydro u see pretty fast results ofcourse.. now im deaing with one... no spots really.. SOME brown and the Stems are def brown.. but it doesnt look too far gone so im just here begging for help.. do i clean the resv wit peroxide ..i do use have cal mag.. im using a ten gallon resv tank.. my light its about 3ft high.. i have a fan blowing cool air in... the temp range btwn on and off isnt too great... bout 6degress (could this be a problems). as u can see im confused.. i can babble able this for days yo.. some pics. ANYONE HELP!!!

Dude, I don't see anything wrong with that plant. If you need DWC specific help you're going to be better served in the hydroponics sub-forum. I haven't had the opportunity to work with a straight DWC.

I also Need some help!!! here is my issue, it isn't totally easy to see in my pics, I did the best I could, but on some buds from my harvest, I noticed a few white specs on the HAIRS, not so much on the buds. I only noticed them sporadically here and there, very subtle,and at 1st i thought it coulda been tiny pieces of perlite that got kicked up by the fan, and stuck in the sticky bud. Many buds were clean, but I set aside one that was the most prominent to take a few pics of, with the hope that someone would know what it is. So the bud in these shots is the worst one on the whole plant. Oh ya, also, this was 1 of 4 plants, but no others had these specs, (if that helps for diagnosing).

The specs are hard to see, look in the most foreground part of the bud, some on top too, but i tried to get the spots most "centered" in the shot
I have no idea. Never seen anything like this before.
Could be Powdery Mildew... I would remove anything that looks unnatural before smoking it.

i need help? that is the question, no really .I dont know how to ,or better to say is:" what liquid do i,. put on that little sponge in the cap of my ec/ph probe? anyone
You can use storage solution, designed specifically for this purpose, but for the most part anything that isn't filtered water will work fine. You can use your nutrient solution if you're not running organics.

My sprouts are in rockwell and the are dark and thicker at the but at the bottom it is skinnier and lighter. Why? Using regular 20w flourescant bulbs 2 inches away. Iam using tooth picks to prop them. the question is what can I do to solve these problems> The other 2 are fine. the fans are blowing on them 24/7.

Could me a moisture issue at the root zone, mold, or just a very stretched plant. 20w florescent bulbs may be kept closer than 2 inches, so push that down a little bit maybe more like just further than 1 inch if the heat is tolerable at that distance. As the plant grows it should fill out. If there is a root issue then they will die soon. Rockwool can be a little tricky at first...

Hey bro I would recommend the 18/6. plants shut down growth after like 18 19 hours anyway so theres no need to waist energy on your bill just do the 18/6 and try to keep the same night time when you go 12/12 your plants will do fine........

The CFL bulbs are going to help out a lot. Keep them as close as you can to the plants. I agree that an 18/6 light schedule is appropriate for you.

If the WW are the biggest plant in there then you can top them now. It's never too late to top, you just hack off more nodes from the top. Most people top when there are between 3 and 5 nodes.

so its been 2 weeks n i jus wanna no if i can get sum healthy plants from these er wut they jus real small for how long theyve had thnx
It looks like they are recovering a little but I still think your watering habits aren't helping.

Quick question . What do do signs of early buds look like . And what do hermies look like 2 weeks. Into flowering
Early buds have small white pistils that form. Hermies will have a combination of "balls" and pistils. You should probably google your question to get some pictures.

18/6 huh alright then thx i will do that.i dont plan on flowering these indoors they are goin outdoors i like to grow outsside im waiting on a order of 90 seeds from nirvana right now that are also goin outdoors i ordered 5 first time just to make sure they arrived.ive been browsing the forum and not seeing any outdoor grow journals with pics.if i can figure out how to attach images i might do one this summer.i plan on trying my hand at cloning this year i got bout 20 fems coming out of the 90.growing inside is appealing though i would love to grow some nice bud like ive seen in here right in my bedroom.

by my watering habits rnt helpn do u mean i shood water more?
No, I mean watering properly. I covered this for you ages ago.

Watering only when the planter needs water. Your plants are swimming in water and drowning. Your roots are sick, and that is why your plant is not growing.

SNOW CRASH "If the WW are the biggest plant in there then you can top them now. It's never too late to top, you just hack off more nodes from the top. Most people top when there are between 3 and 5 nodes."

Ok so I jsut counted. I have probly about 7 - 8 nodes on each right now. Whats the prime number of nodes to keep for best yeild/quality results? Also a couple of the nodes on a couple of the plants are pretty/very close to the soil at the bottom of the stem. Do I want to keep those and count those as nodes or are they too close to the bottom?? Keep in mind I'm trying to do a smaller scale SOG with 12 plants getting short/medium hieght. I have seedlings that are like two inches to catch up tho (hopefully they start taking off soon here :) ) +rep man, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. First timer needs all the info I can soak up!! Thanks man!

Well... for starters, in a true SOG you don't top your plants... So that's not what you are really doing here.

You can count whatever nodes you like to count. As far as the best spot... There is no best spot. Each plant, each phenotype, each stage of growth will have its own best. This is subjective and up for you to decide on.

I think you've ignored doing a lot of the basic homework when it comes to growing. Training your plants and planning for flowering are very important processes that need to be handled appropriately. I cannot grow your pot for you, so it is up to you to educate yourself on this matter. Educating yourself is not asking someone to tell you how to do it. The information is available, and this is one of those things that requires practice and research.

Look at other grows. Do some experimentation. Don't think you're going to do it perfect the first time... that your very first grow will never be bested. That is ridiculous.

So just top your plants and see what happens. Check out other pictures from other growers in the topping guides (easily found on this, and many other, sites).

I totally agree with you on the research thing man for sure. I'm deffenitely new and am up til like 4am most nights watching vids and reading stuff. I just like to get ppl's word from experience is all. And looking at your journal pics and stuff I just wanted to pick your brain a bit :) I will keep researching every day for sure!! Do you have any favorite books, sites (besides this one, this place is AWESOME!) articles that you could possibly share with me?? I swear sometimes i feel like i've hit "the end of the internet" and start just searching in circles :)
In "your opinion" would you even top the taller ones (wonder womans, which is suppose to be a medium height strain i believe) and let the others catch up?(others being rasberry cough, nyc pd, and og k, and if I remember right from looking those are all supposed to be taller strains, wait no, og kush is medium too) Thanks man!
