    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    Hmmm, that's interesting because I've thought the same thing, but wasn't sure. But now that you say that, I'll have to rethink my setup and see if I can rearrange my fan.

    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    Thanks for the PPM reference Hellraizer. These are 70% Sativa 30% Indica, so I think they're light feeders. And yup I got a fan blowing them on low(which is still plenty strong) Well upon further reading, I have found out that Thrive Alive and Superthrive are very similar, and since I'm using...

    Is this root rot?

    Ok well here's the update photos. Still haven't done anything, and the big clump of brown is still there, BUT it's fading and seems to be overtaken by new white roots. There are still a few individual little brown guys hanging from the pot. So I dunno, maybe the SM-90 is slowly helping? I'm...

    pH adjusted flush water

    I have a RO unit, and the EC of it is 30sm(15-21ppm). I DON'T believe RO water is bad for your probe to test, because most RO units will have as least a little of something in it, giving enough ions to at least test. Still not a good idea to store the probe in RO water, but testing it should be...

    Is this root rot?

    I ordered from the States, but we have it up here too...actually it's the same price so I should have just got it from the store, but oh well, I had already ordered it.... ....wait a sec....what makes you think I'm in Canada?

    Is this root rot?

    Hoping my order of 35%H202 comes in tomorrow, or I'm picking it up on Sat. A good sign is the brown seems to be going away and I haven't done anything yet!! I'll try to get pics later

    Technaflora Recipe for Success nutrient chart

    I'm on my first grow, and I've getting told by people online that I don't need all those extra's that the "Recipe For Success" calls for (ie. Sugar Daddy, Magical, Thrive Alive). I keep hearing great things about Thrive Alive, but not really anything on Sugar Daddy. I'm also batteling some root...

    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    Hey thanks for the help. Yup I washed the rocks real good..lots of shit comes off them! And I was watering every 6hrs for 10minutes, but I've taken it back to 7hrs to see if that makes a difference. I'm leaning towards an over nute and maybe over watering. But I'm not seeing any nute burn, and...

    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    And here is close up pics of that original plant. I took a good close up of one of the worst leaves, so you can see how half the leaf is shriveled up, causing the twist ...and a group shot taken today

    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    Well I dunno, seems some of the new growth seems to still be doing it, and now the plant next to it seems to be showing the same thing(it might have been like this for a while, but I just noticed it on this plant). I'm still adjusting pH to 5.5 before going to sleep, and still finding it...

    Rams Horn, claw, leaf curl

    I have some "claws" on a few of my plants too...I don't think I'm over ferting as my plants are almost a light green and my ec is 1.1(550ppm .5 scale). The temp around my plants is 22-24c(72-75). I was flooding every 6hr for 10mins, but yesterday I turned it back to every 7hrs. I adjust pH to...

    Is this root rot?

    My rez has never gone above 68, and is usually around 66-68...can nasties still live when it's this cold?

    Is this root rot?

    Dammit!! I've been using SM-90 for a week now, but I will try to remove as much of the brown as I can then treat with some H202...Now I have some 3% that expired a few years ago, can I just pour it into the net pot all over the roots, or even dunk the roots in a bowl of it? Thanks guys

    Has lumatek fixed there problems?????

    It's the high frequency of digital ballasts causing the 600w to blow because the frequency causes bulb resonance. It happens in all bulbs, but specifically the 600w because of the length of the bulb coupled with the high frequency is a weak spot. Kinda like running your finger around a wine...

    Is this root rot?

    I am able to pull some of the brown roots off easily, as if they're slimy, but I'm not sure if this is root rot? There isn't really any "slime" that I can see...just the brown squishy roots. Rez temps are 66-68. Nutes are Technaflora's "Recipe for Success" (BC Boost, BC Grow, Thrive Alive...

    How am I doing? Plants look sad :(

    Well they've been stress free for a week now, and looking better. Although a few of them are now showing slight signs of leaf tip curl(eagles claw). My pH seems to drift up to 6.2 over night after correcting to 5.5 before I got to sleep, so not sure if that caused the tip curl.

    Twisted growth - Leaves look like throwing stars!

    This is the only plant out of my nine that really look like this. It's like one half of the leaf didn't form properly, causing the leaf to twist sideways. The new growth seems to be ok, but I'm not sure what is going on. They were stressed a couple times over the last month moving from their...

    Adding NPK Values...

    Awesome thread as I have the Technaflora lineup as well. I understand how to add if parts are equal, but I'm a little confused though when it comes to unequal parts...Technaflora's recipe for sucess calls for a 2:1 ratio of Boost to Grow. So how would I add those values? BC Grow 1 - 3 - 6...

    How am I doing? Plants look sad :(

    Nutes are Technaflora Boost and Grow, Thrive Alive Red, Superthrive and a little bit of Rhizatonic. Their "Recipee for Success" also calls for some Suggar Daddy and Magical, but I didn't have them at the time I mixed my first batch. I have them now and am doing a rez change tomorrow...
