    When and how can I transfer to DWC?

    This is what I do, and it works very well. I have done many tests. I use 6" netpots. My medium is half rockwool (cut up or precut in small 1cm cubes) and half hydroton (clay pellets) mixed evenly. When the clone is ready with good white roots popping out, put it halway down in the pot, leaving...

    Why Wont They Flower????

    well ive flowered plants at 6"- that was just a week of vegging once they showed roots. I yeilded over 2 oz per plant....you would be surprised how little it matters the size of the plant. I will flower my plants whenever they have a solid root system. (got those results using 600 hps, 2000 red...

    Scrog in 8 square feet - How many plants should I attempt?

    Why dont you do what you had planned to maximize your light surface area and let the fan blow through the canopy or get a few small clip fans and direct them downward? dont give up so easily just go spend 20 bucks on some fans that will work!

    How to flush a plant/I have PH level of 7

    I would wait until the plant dries out a few days, then flush completely, then feed her again with normal nutes (right after the flush). Just wait a few days. You dont want to overwater or waterlog your plant. Make sure the water you flush her with is PH balanced as well.

    Why Wont They Flower????

    just be patient. They can be flowered at any stage though it may take a little longer for the plant since it is so young. Make sure there are no light leaks and your timer is working properly. The only other possiblity i can see is it is a strain from alaska - some of the strains up there are...

    Has Anyone Ever Trimmed The Roots Of Mother Plants In DWC Or Aero?

    I grow in DWC as well. I trim the roots to increase root mass. Trimming roots does the same thing as trimming the canopy. As the roots drop from my cup i try to trim them so they are uniform in length- You might think they would shock but they love it. After the first couple weeks i stop...

    60 Plant Grow Setup

    You should give each plant about 12 inches to grow (diameter) if you flower them at between 6 and 12 inches high. Though you might think soil is easier I found hydro to be easier. If you do soil make sure you research the soil composition thouroughly. You want to make a soil mix that will drain...

    Big leaves? PICS!

    You should put those droopy plants in a humidity dome until the roots can reestablish themselves.

    Convertfrom soil lookin for advice

    Make sure you get a dehumidifier. dont want mold issues...and the humidity has to be 55 or below or your carbon filters wont work. I have two dual 600 ballasts that run on 220. Great investment- I put mine in a glass air cooled tube because there is a lot of heat. Buy the HPS version--- you can...

    1st time DWC

    Those roots look ok. Just make sure your ph is stable, that you keep your water level about where it is, and when you change water add some hydrogen peroxide with your water (not with nutes though). Canna makes a product called cannazyme that will help break up dead root material and has...

    Keep cuttings viable for months

    Anything to keep the light out. make sure its pitch black. Its always good to have a mother, though i dont. I have a vegging room and flower room. Since i top my plants a ton in vegging to promote extra tops i just use those for clones. Another innovation i do is to take clones off the lower...

    Wut is pruning?

    lol that is a very broad question. It means taking off leaves or other plant material. You do this so the light can penetrate when leaves are excessive. Also topping plants (cutting the new growth or pinching) will encourage the plant to grow new shoots- for every top you pinch two or three will...

    400w Mh H.I.D lights?

    probably about 60-80 bucks a pop.

    More lights, or bigger lights, which is better?

    The best thing for you to do would be to save up for a 600 hps. They are the most efficient by far. As far as lumens per watt goes, the 600 produces around 100000 lumens vs a 400 that will produce maybe 50000 lumens. 1000 watt hps will only produce about 130000 lumens so you can see how the...

    How soon can you take clones?

    Ill take clones as soon as i can to top the plant and increase tops. Ill clone as early as 6 inches tall, as long as the plant has alternate nodes to sprout more tops and is healthy. Keeping clones alive is tough at first. The trick is keeping the humidity really high but not letting your medium...

    Damn!!!.. what am i missing here?!?

    Your leaves are also somewhat yellow, which tells me its not getting what it needs...PH! I keep mine at 6.7 by the way....this way it can raise or lower and still be in range for growing. When it starts to drop on its own i change the water (normally the ph will raise slowly as the plant takes...

    Damn!!!.. what am i missing here?!?

    Yeah thats nute burn. You should check your ph. It is normal for the ppm to rise slightly because the plant is taking alot of water and raising the concentration. Sometimes when there is nute lockout or your ph is off the plant will take nothing but water out, drastically raising ppm. Just add...

    Growing differently need opinions

    you could do a movable scrog setup if you made a small frame attached to your pot and attached a screen to it. THen the whole setup could move. The best way to do it is just keep them in one place though so your light schedule doesnt get messed up. You might try just using a tomoato support and...
