    Watering

    you probably want to raise your night temps. Anything below 60 is bad. Saturate the pots completely. You can even sit them in standing water for a few min so they fully saturate the soil. Just make sure your soil drains well. If your pot is still heavy but your top two inches are dry you should...

    Hydroponic newbie help

    Get a HPS ballast. With this you can run either HPS or MH bulbs. just buy the right bulb for the ballast (voltage wise) and you can switch them out. MH is best for vegging and HPS is best for flowering. If you can only afford one bulb get an hps. The T 5 is a great system but fairly expensive...

    When does flowering start???

    look up your sunrise and sunset times for where you live. Search the internet should be easy to find. Flowering will start when sunrise and sunset are at the same time- hence 12 hours lol. If you live too far north you wont be able to do it cause it gets too cold too early.

    PreFlowering

    you can preflower in veg if you wrap one intersection of leaf and stalk with paper and tape it so its lightproof. This will fool part of the plant into thinking its flowering and you can preflower them early- the reasoning for doing this is you can sex them earlier and take the males out so the...

    Cloneing Question

    indirect light for the first week to let them adjust. Direct light will lower humidity and you want to keep humidity high. Im assuming your talking about rooted clones. If your talking about rooting them then you would be better to use a floro in a 100 humid environment. Your greenhouse will be...

    Rockwool for clones then soil?

    DWC is best cause you dont rely on any pumps and its simple. Rockwool to soil will work great. When your taking clones just make sure you squeeze out the extra water in the rockwool. I have 90 % success with it though.

    Need advice on hydro method

    Check out canna nutrients its what i use and get amazing results. For my medium i use an equal part of hydroton (clay pellets) and rockwool mixed in the pot. You need a medium to keep the plant in one place. Use clay pellets (hydroton) instead of aquarium rocks. They are used because they hold...

    Grow box hydro plan.

    make it taller. 5 feet should do it. The plants will be about 2-3 feet tall and you need a foot for the light and a foot under the light so they dont get burned.

    Ph Problems. Keeps Rising. Please Help!!!

    Rising ph is normal and a good sign. You should be worried about root rot if the ph starts dropping rapidly. Increase the resevoir system size. It will balance better- You should notice rising ph immediately after you change the water. this is the plant taking up nutes. the ph will slow after a...

    Is it better to blow through the carbon filter, or out into it?

    Best way if youre using a cool tube is to arrange as follows: cool tube, ducting, fan, carbon scrubber. exhaust should be as close to the outlet as possible because fans are four times more efficient at pulling air than pushing it. If you can manage to attach the carbon scubber to your glass...

    Help Tangled Roots in DWC

    cut the roots. as long as you dont cut more than 1/3 off it wont be a problem. in fact it will promote more root growth. Just cut them apart and foliar feed them with a light vitamin solution

    At what week do you start trimming the bottem leaves?????

    Oh- if you want to make the lower branches grow faster, trim the leaves and grow shoots off half the lower portion of any branch. These will grow faster to reach the canopy.

    At what week do you start trimming the bottem leaves?????

    Yeah i keep mine always trimmed so barely any light gets through. Taking them off the bottom, even taking small branches off the bottom six inches of stalk will help. Taking them off in the beginning of flowering also fools the plant to speed up its flowering process. it thinks its being eaten...

    Stunted growth and leaves curling 'up' like Mg deficiency

    Thats nute burn. I think whats happening is your PH is off. The the nutes are not getting to the plant properly because they cant absorb (ph) but the concentration is high enough to burn the leaves. The curling leaves are the first sign you will notice that the concentrate is too high. The tips...

    1st time DWC

    yeah i love clearex. its really amazing. i use it every three water changes and during flushing. You can actually watch the ppm meter rise as the salts come out of the plant. And like earl said, the last flush throws the plant into overdrive. Overnight you will notice amzazing calyx swelling and...

    When and how can I transfer to DWC?

    lol sorry i use rubbermade 30 gallon tubs not tupperware. And make sure you light proof your tank with black construction plastic and something light (white is best) to reflect light off the resevoir to prevent it from warming up as black will absorb the heat.
