Well, my first reaction is that if you're new to growing inside, you should tone things down a bit. Start with just a few plants, see how things go, and then move onto more plants. This seems a little ambitious to me - or I might just be jealous because I don't have this much room...lol I...

Can't you use water softener? I mean, you use it to soften hard water in your home, so it would make sense you could use it in your water system and then use it for your plants. Or am I missing something? I know a lot of folks also use distilled water, I think. I don't have any troubles with...

Well, that doesn't sound like anything's going too wrong so far. In the first few weeks, at least from my experience, not much happens. My guess would be that you need to start adding nutes since the plants don't seem to be thriving, but I can't tell from your note what you're growing in...

Huh, this is a great way to begin your growing experience. Start small and work yourself up to something bigger when you have the time and the experience. Yeah, I learned a lot from doing some of the same things, though I almost got into trouble with one of my early apartment grows since I...

Uh, dude, the bottles have instructions on them. Read them. Or you can always call up the company and ask them what to do. They're the pros, after all. I prefer using Grow-Micro-Bloom from Advanced Nutrients, mostly cause they have a nutrient calculator - http://www.advancednutrients.com/ -...

Hmm, why would you want to get the least expensive nutes? Doesn't that seem to set yourself up for problems? If I were you, I'd get a better quality nute like Advanced Nutrients and just use less at first to see how it works for you. It has a 100% money back guarantee, I think. Can't lose...

Hey man, you might want to learn how to spell a bit better. I have no idea what a wall drobs is. I'm guessing you might mean a wardrobe, but I'm not really sure... For a five plant setup, you really don't need all that much. What you do need are some base nutes. These are nutes that you...

First of all, there is no magic nute that helps plants be amazing. I wish. Well, actually, there wouldn't be any forums on growing if there was one thing that worked. But that's not the case. Doesn't stop me from trying to find the perfect nute arrangement too. How to make your weed better...

Wow. That sounds like a winner for you. Haven't done the outdoor grow yet, so I'm definitely going to have to check this grow out to see if I could try it out. Doesn't sound all that difficult. LOL I thought, though, that Advanced Nutrients had an outdoor nutrient program. The name escapes...

Okay, this is a lot of questions for folks to answer. But, hey, I got some time, though I'm going to point you to some other directions and resources to answer all of your questions. You don't 'need' anything until your plants say you do. That's a good rule to follow. Some plant setups need...

Yes, smaller leaves die off after a while in the beginning. The plant needs the energy and the fuel to keep growing for the long run. So long as your leaves don't continue to die off, then things will probably be okay. Look at the rest of the plant too to see if it looks strong and healthy...

I think it never hurts to start out with just the base nutes to see how things work out for you, then you can slowly add in new nutes to help boost your grows. Yes, yes they do help a A LOT. I've seen harvests nearly double, though that strain was pretty killer. From my experience, using...

I'm so darn happy to have found this review....been looking all over with a review that would tell me about pH PPM deal. It sounds amazing, but you know, most people question things that sound too good to be true. I was just talking on another board and I don't really have any problems with...

I gotta agree with you on this. Sometimes the feeding instructions are a bit too much. I'd suggest you start out light, see how things go and then add more nutes if things seem to be undergrowing. I haven't used GH before, well, not in a while, so I can only vouch for Advanced Nutrients and...

I totally respect testing things out before you start praising them. Thanks for being honest about that. I have to say I have my doubts about anything that says it's going to do everything that I want...and more. Yet, time and time again, it seems like AN outdoes it in my grow room. Or else...

Always great to follow your play by play CG. I've found that AN is pretty stable too, but it's always good to see what others are finding with other nutes...just in case my nute place runs out. They did a few months back and I was tiiiicked. Gonna keep looking you up.... kiss-ass

When plants are drooping, it seems like the plants are thirsty. If everything else is okay, then yeah, I would add more water. As for Miracle Grow, don't use that AT ALL. That stuff is noxious and horrible for your grow. That's for stuff that you eat, not stuff you smoke. And it's not...

First of all, the 'seven part system' LOL. You don't need seven things, though I admit I'm using more and more as I see what AN can do. I don't know if your friend has actually used AN in the past, have they? I have. And I've used GH in the past. Here's what I think, though I'm sure...

*bump* I'm wondering the same thing. Haven't really shopped for seeds. I've had folks just give me seeds in the past, so I have no idea what I'm growing when I do. LOL

Wow - well said. I wasn't quite sure about the organic/hydro question myself, so this is a lot of good info. I have to admit I've heard that organics are tricky in hydro. I've been avoiding em for a bit because of hearing about these problems. But hearing about the tea advice might actually...
