you can use tap water if you want to soak the beans...
i read a little down and read the distilled water recommendation... it is perfectly fine to use DW also... but at this point in the game tap water is more than fine...
unless you water is super hard or smells funny it will more than...

congrats on the successful FIM...
as far as super cropping.. in veg i would do it as soon as you want lower branches to start pushing up and the plant to start bushing out.. maybe after 4 or 5 node sets appear...
if you are flowering you cant super crop.. its far to late after the 2nd...

morning all.. hows it going
alright brotha man... i know your soil is fert free.. but there are still nutes that are tied up in the soil once you start watering... the soil acts as a buffer zone.. so some nutes are absorbed by the soil and held while some are used.. but hell.. you know this...
i wouldnt leave them too long in there with just a floro.... but they will be ok for a couple days.. they are too small right now to be greatly affected by lack of light... but the sooner the hps can be up and running and working right the better off you will be...
also.... temps can be...
i cant go without giving the girls nutes for very long... remember that in soil they can still pull nutes from the soil.. in hydro they get nothing unless i give them it... the ppm is very low... around 400ppm... so they arent being fed heavily.. just enough to snack on through the...
your plants sound like they have some sort of fungal infection... thats typically what black spots point too... it could have came from the seeds or the soil or the air.. who knows... but you should try to spray with an anti fungal spray...
everything else sounds like it is fine and where it...
changed out the flush res i had the now flowering photogirls hooked up too... there was little salt build up at all.. so i didnt feel i needed to flush as long as i thought i did originally...
i had to sort of guess on the nutes as far as how much i was using.. i dropped the measuring cup i use...

for instance i started in a basement that worked well.. until it flooded and mold...
you have to water as they need it.. its hard saying.. there is not a magic number of days to tell you.. basically if the soil feels dry at the top and (if you can feel inside them) the drain holes at the bottom then water.... water until the soil is well saturated...
transplant when growth...
yep, your starting vegitative growth... so start with that.. you can actually just follow exactly what they say on the chart.. dont 1/4 strength that... if you go 1/4 strength go by whats on the bottles... but the chart is spot on what you need...
things every grower should have
ph test...
its actually mario buying them from toad... lol
i havent put any new pics up.. my camera on my phone took a shit... going to have some new pics up tuesday tho.. getting a camera then...
depending on how the grow area is sealed, it is possible for humidity to get pretty high... it just doesnt seem to be using water right... see if you can check the humidity and let me know..
every grow can present potential problems.. even i still run into them... once you run into them and...
