so yeah - according to what you're saying the problem is solved - no further steps need be taken. You can put the lamps back as you like them to be, your plants most likely don't even remember what happened. you can also start flowering. I also think 2.0 is too high but this is strain dependent...

i agree about the medium. jack's classic is said to be the best there is. if it's truly soil less, put some nutes in it. Just for chemical balance. no need for 24/0. 20/4 is said to be the most effective way to veg.

There's not much point in measuring soil EC/ppm - it just doesn't mean much to the plants. I've grown perfect seedlings to flower in soil of 3000 ppm (seriously), which obviously wouldn't work in hydroponics. It's like pH that's different between soil and soilless mediums - the chemical...

sure man, is cool, i myself am not very experienced and still learning. Also been reading a lot of theory. Discussion is cool, but better done when actually discussing and not just saying something is inadvisable :) I imagine it does indeed also depend on the coco which one is using and the...

it won't promote more budding, that's for sure. There's a good chance it will screw it up. But it might be ok. Why would you want to though.

yeah 2 weeks is fine, some say 1 week is ok, others don't flush at all. also depends on how you flush, your strain and your medium. Using a flushing agents should reduce this time as well.

would you care to elaborate? It's actually some pretty flexible guidelines. What didn't you approve of?

you can LST as much as you want for the exact shape and size you need. Scrog if you need to.

thanks! These are actually cardboard boxes and the holes I made keep getting jammed. When I water I have to keep opening the holes with a screw. Some of the plants do seem a bit disoxygenated. So I would very much like to transplant as soon as I can, but I will wait until 6" like you said. pot...

my experience with soil: Potting soil, peat-based, with time release fertilizers. There is only one brand of soil in my country that doesn't have them (or at least I think it doesn't have them). So I have tried much with the TRs - it's always bad. Growth is always excellent - nice and green, but...

are they seedlings? seedlings are the hardest thing to do in coco IMO, if you got that right the rest will be easy.

if you happen to notice a burn after feeding, you just have to flush it immediately and then feed it again with a lower amount. The burn will stop at once. You can water when the weight is about 50%, they say. Or a bit less. The schedule you asked about above sounds about right (if you're...

ahh... promix is a soilless medium - very good for growing, but you gotta know how to use it. Try giving it a decent watering the next time it dries - like a flush. That should help spread the nutes around and get you some balance between the two different media. Better yet, do your flush with a...

don't worry. You're not gonna lose em, the damage is still slight. You backed off the EC - see if the problem is expanding - if not, you can try to up the nutes slowly till you see it again - but I wouldn't. If the problem continues to spread, try meddling with pH a bit (couple .X below to 5.6...

growing in coco. I got a 3gl smart pot waiting for it, but I don't wanna be too quick about, would even prefer letting it fill the cup. Do you think I should do it now? I'm kinda scared about transplanting when the roots have not filled the container, I like having the roots holding the soil...

don't worry. There's plenty of ways you can do it, none is wrong as long as you keep these basic guidelines: - flush the coco and charge it with at least a low amount of nutrients, before first use. - Always water till runoff, at least 10% - this is most important, especially if you always...

nah, soil isn't for me... I don't have access to good materials, or knowledge of how to use them.

hello I am considering using Aerated Compost Tea on my coco plant. I use HESI's coco (hydro) nutrients. I remember reading that ACT and other organic based plant foods are not very efficient in a hydroponic low pH environment, and that these minerals kill the beneficial bacteria in it. BB is...

i got seedlings in there... they are all twisted

it's coco!
