Alright, thanks for the heads up. Dumping my runoff will be one of my changes while i find my fertilizer-strength then. :weed:

For 'give it a good run off each time' do you mean water until it has some run off collected and then dump it? Cuz i just let it soak back up into the soil so im guessing it'd keep that salt content. I wouldn't use distill water if my tap wasn't hard, around 300-350ppm or something. There's...

Will do. I'm in soil at the moment until i move and settle again. I wanted to try DWC after and the root growth is something i wanted to make sure of. Also, as an alternative, since a plant needs to grow even more roots during the revegging, does that mean that the mass clump of roots already...

I didnt read the whole thread but read that transplanting is pretty necessary for revegging. If I grow in dwc, then transplanting shouldn't be an issue right? Just as long as the roots have enough room to keep growing?

A much more experienced grower told me on an earlier thread that i should be feeding every other watering rather than every watering. So, a day or so back I watered with just pH balanced distilled water. The next day or so, I aready noticed red stems coming back (back when i was figuring out how...

Before I started growing, I looked up alot on lst'ing and how it helps expose the lower nodes to light, growing more tops. On one of my mothers, I tied down the stem and successfully grew quite a few tops from it. To maximize the light exposure, i trimmed the fan leaves on the main stem that...

Alright, good lookin out. i'll revise my regimen.

well, a friend gave it to me early on and it had deficiencies until i started feeding it with the 'feeding it every water schedule', just recently it started to look very nice and balanced. so i'm at the point where i should keep it at it's half strength 'feed every other water' until it shows...

That makes sense. thanks for the heads up. ahh ok. so that's what it is. i initially thought that as long as they're not showing signs of toxicity that they'd be at a good balance. thanks for clearing that up. i'll start watering with distilled water from now until i see deficiencies. i...

alright, ya'll are saying im definitely overfeeding and stupidly so as i have supersoil hooked up in bottom half. i'll start with the feeding every other water then. maybe that's what's attributing to slow growth?

wait, uhh....u mean if they stop growing do they get comfortable? or if... my bad, i dont know what you mean. well im feeding em 6.2 and run off is 5.8. i thought it was kind of odd but they seemed fine and healthy. i heard that if i make big changes in pH that it'd be really bad for them...

oh yeah, one more side question on lighting distance vs. temperature. again, 400w air cooled closed hood. at around 6" from hood, temps are stable at 84degrees at a foot and a half, temps are stable at 75-78 i heard that more light is always better as long as i dont burn the plants/or light...

so i have: - 2 indica dom. hybrids, 1 extra other much younger - 5x5 under 400w hps aircooled - temps are 75-78, humidity 50% ('comfort') - advanced nutes, half to 3/4 strength micro bloom ferts - happy frog soil with 'supersoil' mix in lower half - watering every other day or every other...

i was trying that for a good minute too, slicing up the stem halfway. been looking up some vids and i'll try the scraping the outer flesh method instead now. good lookin out. alright, so spray with distilled water, cut leaves for less transpiration, get it back in the humidity dome for comfort...

ah ok so that's where transpiration plays a factor, it's making more sense now. i have a humidity dome and had a few fluoros set up and tried what i usually did, they just wilted slower. but now that i think about it, i was overwatering and left way too much foliage, thinking they'd use up their...

also, i did put these clones back under the same 400w bulb but since they're further down on the floor, i figured it was ok? i think less than 1000lumens, 500 maybe. should i put them under the shade of another plant? anyway, before they get a chance to settle they die off :/

hey i'm a newbie getting started (apparently) and i'm having trouble starting a clone... when i cut them and put them in a cup of water, they're perfectly fine. the moment i take one out, slit it lengthwise at it's cut end for more surface area, dip it in clonex, and into pre-ready rockwool...
