    Rapid Rooter/Root Riot tray?

    you definitely don't NEED the holes but they do come with some advantages obivously avoiding the plugs from tipping over but also covering the walls so the roots are covered once they start popping out the bottom and sides, and it helps keep the plug moist and not be able to dry out so quickly...

    Help w hydro

    Yes I can almost bet its you warm rez temps, was having the same issue with this hot summer. Best replacement is a cooler, or putting your rez into another tub of water and doing the frozen bottle trick. You want it to be down to 68' to get those pearly white roots

    Questions

    pretty simple really if you know what topping is, instead of cutting the the whole top growth. look at the top growth and carefully work your way to the smallest little growth bud in the middle and snip it

    Questions

    A. Its a good time to snip the top I usually wait until theres about 4 nodes, Look up Fimming though I always encourage its less stressful, you can keep your main cola, and still get the branching out effect your looking for. B. If the roots are poppin out its definitely a good time to...

    force flower for seedling

    Intensity, the type of light, and light cycle are all factors to what stage you want your plant in. For vegging really all you need is light cycle (24/0 or 18/6), many including myself believe that even during veg you should have periods of darkness. Ive done the experiment and they grow at the...

    Yellow tips

    So the base of the problem is that MG soil, like you said those time release non sense will keep you guessing from the beginning. But I mean everyones done it before its cheap soil and your just "experimenting" so dont want to invest all at once. No problem, its in there now but we can probably...

    Hermie or normal?

    Nope, thats just growth that occurs to females during flowing.. looks basically like a big calyx sometimes they have hairs too. But from the pic I'm almost positive thats not a male. The male will look like a ball attached to a small stem and there will usually be more than one ball per node...

    ? on lighting some one help

    a good move in my opinion, hps is concentrated on the red/orange side of the light spectrum which is what you want.. sit back and watch the grass grow! good luck

    My plant just keeps growing its white hairs longer and longer

    If your indoor try what hotrod said, this usually moves the bud maturity along a little faster as you simulate winter coming by cutting the days shorter but not stress it out to much as you do it progessively

    Stem split in flowering !!!

    support it as much as possible while trying to close that gap where it split. Use a stick and some ties, however you want to do it. As long as it didnt completely break off you might have a chance but this stress will most likely put a toll on the end result of that branch. But try to support...

    Please HELP ASAP - seedlings - have tap root

    Oh yea the plugs will be just fine to use, if you have the slit on the side of them just close it up with something until the roots develop. Ive used like a piece of tin foil I usually dont recommend it and I'm sure like a hundred ppl will go on and on about the light reflecting off it to make...

    force flower for seedling

    Dwezel was spot on, if you where using a clone from a mature plant which is considered after 3-4 weeks of vegetation (not seedling growth) then you'd be able to see the sex begin to show after about 2 weeks of 12/12. But since your trying to flower a seedling from 12/12 you can run into a couple...

    n00b wants to make 1337 green :)

    Alright so you might have jumped in a little too soon without thinking it through, the closet with a tent can work but if you read more, you'll realize the ventilation is going to be a large issue especially with 3-4 plants that are known to be quiet large in size, which brings to the next point...

    Please HELP ASAP - seedlings - have tap root

    If your going hydro, I would put them into rockwool. Probably your best bet they work well with hydro setups whenever it comes to you. Just remember RW has a high ph so you need to soak them first whether its ph down or even adding some lemon juice to make the water a bit acidic

    plant leaves discoloring

    those are nute burns, it happens when overfeeding. That won't go away but if you've been flushing for 4 days it probably wont get any worse. When this happens I usually like to ease her back into the swing of things start with half or quarter strength of nutes see how she reascts and slowly...
