I added a 1/2 tsp of Grow Big which has 3% N. ^Forgot to get the milk (going to do that right now). BUT from looking at these deficiency pictures, my plants look similar to FIGURE D images in the K and Mg pictures; Figure A of the N deficiency picture (there is some red on some of my steams but...

Managed to get two more 42w 2700k bulbs into the grow area. I directed light to the lower growth by duct taping a reflector hood to the wall. It not the best method esp if I need to keep moving it but it was easy and works for now. So I am still trying to figure out what is wrong with my plants...

Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus is a 2-0-0 (NPK). Here is what it contains: No I haven't tried Advanced Nutrients as yet. I got the FF HYDRO trio which has zinc in it. Here are the amounts/ingredients for each of the Fox Farm Trio Nutrients -start- Big Bloom (.01-.3-.7) with Earthworm Casting...

gotta give some credit for effort. Appreciate the thought tho lol.

How can ph pen be bad if it reads 7.0 on my calibration solution? There is still a problem that I haven't solved because the yellow patches are appearing on the leaves with brown tip but some of the saw-blade edges don't have any browning? For those who didn't read the rest: I am doing hydro...

I have been checking the ph twice a day and adjust it only once. I keep it in between the 5.7-6.1 range. Isn't that the recommended range for hydro? OR am I not putting enough mag? I have only added 3 tsp of cal mag plus to my 6 gal but the directions say to do 1 tsp/gallon. How do you know...

I was saying the same thing to myself earlier today! But the problem was I didn't have enough money at the time and had cfls from my last grow. But I realized I should have waited and invested instead. This is what I currently have on: one 85w (3000k-4200 lumens), two 18 watt (2700k-900 lumens...

I was worried about it causing further stress. I have already removed dead leaves on the lower growth but I have read removing leaves during flower isn't recommended until closer to harvest? I may be wrong or mis-read. If their stems are still normal (healthy- not dried up like the older leaves...

Thank you. I try to be as precise as I can and have been logging the ppms/ph daily. I wanted to do the HID/HPS route but I didn't have enough money initially to pursue them. I have just recently learned about LED grows in the journal section. I will do some research on that. But before I started...

I think I see a pistil coming out of the shortest-3rd one. If it turns out being female that will be AMAZING making all three females. For $50 with shipping- I am thinking of getting: - One 105w 2700K mogul cfl with 60 lumens per watt - A reducer adapter to make the mogul (e28 ) fit my...

I am in the flowering stage as I have switched my lights over to 12/12 about 2.5 weeks ago. But thank you, they do seem to be doing better. I think I have corrected some of the issues but I still seem to be missing something because there is browning happening on the tips of the new growth...

On my tallest plant, I am not sure if I will need to remove my fan leaves because they don't seem to be interfering with light penetration to the bud sites. But lets see, maybe...I think I see a pistil coming out of the shortest-3rd one. If it turns out being female that will be AMAZING making...

Oh yess!! I am super stoked but what worries me is that only the top of one of the plants is showing pistils. The other areas have that upside down tear drop shape but no pistils coming out of them. The 3rd one still hasn't shown any signs and is the shortest/slowest growing out of the three...

Is there a way to clean it that won't mess the probe up?

I think those are the N-P-K numbers for FF's Big Bloom. If I understand correctly they are essentially micro nutes. The TIGER BLOOM is FF "bloom" base nutes with higher P then N. Their Grow Big has a higher N and lower P. They have additional supps which they recommend for the different stages...

I like the digital meter. I haven't cleaned the probe at all. When it was working normally- I usually just checked the ph of a sample of the res solution in a cup and then I confirm by checking the ph directly in the res. After I adjust the ph by adding down to the sample in the cup, I then pour...

So my plants are on the way to being recovered (or I hope). All three of them are growing daily and the new growth looks better. Together they have been drinking on average a gallon per day. I only have the res filled with 6 gal for the three plants. I have been topping it off daily with plain...

Another thing to consider is the res temperature. Make sure it doesn't get over 76 f which is still pretty hot. You should aim to keep the res temp around 68-72 f. You can use frozen water bottles to keep the temperature down. Also local aquarium stores sell thermometers for approx. $10 and they...

Oh no. It seems like a bottle fell in my closet last night and snapped off ONE branch with little growth on it. It was one the ground when I opened my closet door. Also that same plant which lost the branch just showed its first set of female pistils emerging from the new growth. Will this cause...
