thats the one i suspected of the potassium def And thats the one thats is a lighter green than the rest and has smaller and less pistils than the others

I think it was a def anyways, i wouldnt be the best at diagnosing it, my only method is check against the various plant problem charts on the web. The water im using is store bought still water, and tap water left out for 24hours. I couldnt tell you the make up of the soil, i havent looked that...

I dont have any recent pics of it. It was effecting older growth, i fed it with a banana tea and the problem seems to have stopped for now anyways, well it hasnt spread, the affected leaves have continued to get worse an i think i have pulled them now. Another plant i have has problems now...

You know, reading that not stoned it makes sense ha

I used to use a bigger pot, but wanted to give perpetual growing a go, i might have to cut it down 2 pots instead of six

Well lads, My homemade fabric sips are working away, when filling the res yesterday i noticed some mould growing on the diy water level float i had made from a skewer and polystyrene. Any ideas why it grew and how to prevent it coming back?

Heys lads, im growing fast buds gorillia glue autos in sohum living soil. Im using homemade 2.8 liter sips as im limited by space. Since starting the grow ive learned this is not enough soil to provide the plant with enough nutes for the entire grow. One of the plants has what i think is a...

Yeah i missed filling the res a couple of times, first time using sips havent got it down yet, i need to upgrade to a bigger res. They are autos so i prefer not to transplant them.

Hey lads, i have my sips made they are wicking water well, i have to refill my res every 2 days so far, i will need a bigger res when flowering starts. For those that didnt see my earlier posts im using sohum living soil. My plants are starting to show a deficiency, i think its a N def, what do...

i transplated my 3 seedlings last night, and like you said i watered the soil as i went. i had a quick look into hempys, most what i read said they are good for big plants and my set up is more micro so big plants for me is not an option, also im all set up for sips nownbut thanks for the info...

I think my initial problem with this pot is that the living soil i have bought is dehydrated and hydrophobic so ot wouldnt wick up the water, i potted up new pots last night and left them soaking in a sink of water overnight and they now hold water. So maybe now my 3 liter bottle sips would work...

I have a bag of perlite so ill try it, i have 3 seedlings waiting to be transplanted so theyll be the guinea pigs ha, in the link Serverchris posted the lad said cover the perlite if your worrid about algae, so ill lay some weed controll fabric that i make my smart pots from over it.

Ahh an increase in humidity wont be a bad thing, its always been low in there. Find a suitable box later and get it made up. How many grows will the perlite last, 8-9week autos?

Thats not a bad idea. Would there be any problems if was to get a plastic box thats roughly the same size as my grow space floor (16"x20") fill that with perlite and use it as my res and have 6 pots sitting on that

Yeah i was thinking about it on the way to work, ill make a 2liter smartpot and have that sit on a bed of perlite in a 3liter bottle, how easy is it to tell when the perlite res needs topping up? Thinking about it some more, ill leave the one a have set up already and make 3 with perlite beds...

Easier said than done, i I followed and then modified a 2 liter bottle sip, you cut the bottom of the bottle, that becomes your res and then you invert the other part of the bottle and thats the pot, so i have the neck/lid portion of the bottle on the bottom and then fabric sides with no fabric...

I ended up top watering with a sprayer due to slow growth of the seedling. I set up another sip but didnt add soil to test the wicking of my polyester stuffing, after a hour sitting in the res the stuffing is only wet at the bottom of the pot where it goes into the res, there is an inch of dry...

Hi lads, Im trying out sub irrigated planters for the first time, and also sohum living soil for the first time. Due to my space being small i went with a 3 liter bottle style sip. Ive made 1 change to the design and that is using a fabric pot for the top portion instead of inverted bottle...

My new lights have arrived. I have built my frame and have the strips mounted. I need to get some 18gauge wire for wiring the strips together. Looking at my driver it only has live and neutral in, how do i go about grounding it or is it fine without? And should i run a ground from my frame to...

Cheers for the replies lads, iv bought 6 bridgelux eb 3500k 1ft strips, im going to grow 4 or 6 autos in solo cups or small fabric pots. Later on ill get 6 3000k strips that ill use to make 2 light fixtures, 3 3500k 3 3000k, and then have 8-12 growing perpetually in 2 16"x20" spaces.
