Thanks Buds, I bought H202 just for this reason but I was reluctant to use it because I read it just kills off all the beneficial parts of the nutes I use. I am using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro and I heard that using H202 will just kill off the beneficial parts of the nutes. Correct me if I'm...

Good to know thanks for the quick response, yeah I am well aware that it gets a lot more difficult during flower. But I just didnt want major root problems this early.

Just wondering if brownish roots were normal in a hydroponic system. I am growing 5 plants in a DIY DWC/Aeroponic/Drip system, check out my sig for my grow journal if you want some detailed information. - Air temp 85 on 70 off - Res Temp ~ 75 - 80 (pretty high I know) I am using "organic"...

for not knowing what RH stands for and not taking temperature readings, your are doing pretty well. Its my first grow to, but before I started I did about a month of research on this site and google. If you google any question like, "what temperature is best for growing?' it will show you...

So time for another quick update. The plants are drinking up a lot of water now and the ppm dropped down to 120, I bumped it back up to 300 and hopefully this will last till next res change. The plants are doing great, wow they are growing quick, almost touching each other already. Ill let...

Photo Update - topped all three of the big plants. PPM ~ 250

Thanks for the comments, when doing res changes I add my nutes into a 5 gallon jug, put PH adjustments into another 5 gallon jug and then finally a final jug of plain water. But it seems like my res PH fluctuates often. My res PH rises from around 5.5 to 5.8 in a few days... is that normal...

Hey DSB65 props on your grow. I am trying to do something very similar, check out my grow in my sig. Anyways I was wondering did you top your plant at all? or did you just LST it, I am looking for a nice and short bush. Thanks man

I use two meters, ones a Hamilton PH pen which is brand new and calibrated and the other is a old Nutradip tri meter which is old but calibrated and working well. So my PH readings are accurate... (I hope) It definately is the PH because I checked on them this morning and they haven't gotten...

Hey Broken Looks like our plants are pretty much on the same stage. Yours are looking great. Did you top your plant?

Nah it pretty much happened overnight. I didnt change anything last night except adjust the ph down. I was using filtered water that has less than 10ppm. But now I am switching to tap water, which is less than 50ppm here. So when I last checked the PPM was at 180. The nutes I am using are...

Yeah man haha, I know that drastic changes to PH is a terrible thing... Just my PH up n down is so strong, I should probably dilute it with some water to make it more practical to use. I will make sure PH does not fluctuate past 5 ~ 6 PH. But on the plus side, the other 4 are doing just fine...

Thanks max I was planning on bumping feeding during the next res change which will be very soon. I am going to see how it reacts to the PH change and go from there. I am pretty sure it is just due to the drastic change in PH. From some pics ive seen online it looks very similar to what I'm...

Once again another issue..... whats new. Brown spots affecting only one of my plants. It probabaly has to do with the fact that I accidently lowered the Ph to 4.7 last night. and left it until this morning. now its sitting at 5.5 anyways here are some pics, hopefully its nothing serious. Brown...

Hi so I am pretty new to growing, and this is my first grow. I noticed these brown spots appearing on one of my plants today. It looks like the leaves are curling inwards and drying up. When I touched it was almost crispy to touch. I think it is because I lowered the PH a bit too much... it...

Quick update with pics Not much changed, but I can see some great growth appearing on the plants.... I am seeing noticeable growth everyday :clap: Added two small fans blowing a weak breeze across the plants, this will hopefully keep temps a bit cooler but most importantly help the plants get...

Thanks Awnox, ya I am definitely leaving the light at where it is. It is just under 24" from the tops of the plants. With the cooltube and CFL light going the temp still goes up to the high 80's even low 90's. It really doesn't seem to be bothering the plants that much because they are doing...

Thanks man, ya I heard you shouldn't put the 250's too close to the tops of the plants. But I am very limited for any height at all.... I have maybe 3 feet to work with. I do however have a cool tube attached to a 140cfm SP fan, which should help with the temp. Anyways, when I got up to...

Hope everyone had a good Halloween. I ended up going away for the weekend, which meant I had to leave my plants by themselves for 4 days. Before I left I made sure the PH was at 5.5 and the PPM was at 140. And I triple checked all the timers to make sure that they were set properly and off I...

Thanks man its my first grow, so I will probably make some rookie mistakes like freaking out and overreacting to certain situations..... I'm trying my best to just leave them alone, knowing that they are doing just fine, but I have the urge to check on them every hour lol. So I was able to cut...
