Over the couple of weeks of vegging inside he will need to lightly fertilize them until they're about 8-10 inches and several nodes. Unless he is using a mix like MG. I assumed that he has read enough by now to know not to fertilize them in the 1st two weeks. Probably not though. Why do...

Every system has its pros & cons. Without the controller, multiple Waterfarms are very labor intensive to change out the individual reservoirs. I've flowered up to 4 smaller plants that I knew were female before putting them together. Normally I flower only one bigass lady per bucket. Also I...

You should add more soil up to the top of the pot and move it closer to the light.

I've heard great stories and horror stories including my own experience with Hygrozyme. I'll keep trying bacteria-based products instead of enzyme-based products. My plants have recovered since the Hygrozyme kill and I flushed, flushed and quit using Hygrozyme.

Add more soil, bring it inside, water and fertilize it, put under a couple of cfl's for a couple of weeks and then put it back outside when the sun has more solar energy. Good luck. Go Green...Grow Green

Add more soil.

It's stretched. How far away are your lights? Keep your light close over the plant and gradually raise it as the plant grows. To fix it, re-pot it and bury the stem deep or simplay add more soil, etc. up to the brim of the pot.

Did some research and decided to try GH's Sub Culture-B as a replacement for the Botanicare Hydroguard that's off the market temporarily. We'll see how it works out although if Hydroguard is available again, I'll probably switch back to it since I had good success with it in the past and it's a...

Good luck, bud. Hope it solves your problems. Go Green...Grow Green

I think that you have become familiar with the strains that you grow and the nutrients that you have been using. What happens if you grow different strains and switch out your nutrients for others? I'd say that the grow would be similar to the others because of your growing experience. My...

Get a hydroponic cleaner like Bio Green Clean or a solution of chlorine water and saok and scrub everything. What you can't scrub or clean, replace. Then rinse everything very well. If the plants are contaminated, you may have to cut your losses now so that you can have future grows. Too bad...

NO! Adjust your ph last! Add your hydro ingredients in the following order: 1) Water treatment, 2) Nutrients, 3) Supplements, 4) ph adjustment Otherwise you are just wasting your time and ph solution because #'s 1,2 and 3 will each change the water's ph after they're added. Why adjust your...

Seeding? What does that mean? Are you flowering? Germinating?

Side note: I am growing an unknown bagseed strain from some seeds my wife found in some old boxes of hers from her hippie days during the late 70's. Two of 5 seeds germinated and grew into females that are in flower now. They're probably just some run of the mill Mexican brown weed that used...

Germinating is nature's process to start the plant growing by giving it signals to release chemicals internally to sprout. That's the short, non-scientific explanation. If the seed doesn't germinate, the plant doesn't grow!

I clearly use soil in my hydro setup too in the beginning by germinating my seeds in peat pots that look like soil. Then they are transferred to net cups with hydroton in a dwc system. He has a soiless mixture! Your medium and the way you feed your plants determine whether it is considered...

I see that. And light penetration weakens with distance. So one of the hps = 10 HOT5's and the T5's can be placed much closer to the plant and offer a broader light spectrum. So from your information I'd say that the HOT5's are as good or better than the 400 hps because of heat issues and...

Why would a 250 or 400 watt hps be brighter than 432 watts of the 4-ft,. 8-bulb HOT5's? Also you can mix & match the 3500k and 6500k bulbs in the T5's for better spectrum coverage. The low heat also allows you to put the T5 right on top of the plants. As I said before, unless the hps is 600 or...

Why would they reach for the light (hps) and not reach for the brighter, fuller spectrum light (HOT5's)?

Right on. What works best for you is all that matters.:peace:
