Dude it literally takes 30 seconds to just shake the jug up and get it dissolved and that isn't exactly physical labor either unless your muscles are atrophying. Plus if the OP is anything like me they don't even own a microwave. If you needed 5 gallons I'd agree though, it might be easier to...

First signs of them as in not that many? Depending how far along you are you can use insecticidal soap, Spinosad or pyrethrin. These are some of the least toxic, most effective measures available. All of these can theoretically be used up until the last couple weeks of bloom. You need to spray...

You really dont even have to go to so much trouble. I always just measure out a tablespoon into a gallon jug and shake it up to mix. The trick is to shake it good, then turn the jug upside down for a few seconds. It's going to foam up a bit and the air bubbles will help mix what remains on the...

Did you just transplant them prior to bloom? I wouldn't be too concerned unless it progresses.

Unsulphured blackstrap molasses. Blackstrap has a good potassium and mineral content and provides some sugars that feed microbes which benefit plants. You can use it during veg and bloom.

I honestly cannot say with any certainty what I am looking at. I do see the consistency of the soil appears to be of terrible quality. Also I see that you need to check your e-mail, and your voicemail. I also see that you like comic sans and the holy bible. One last thing I predict an alarm...

Good job! ...And you're fucking welcome. Expect a message with instructions where you can send my cut. :fire:

That isn't a mixture or potting soil or anything that is pure coco coir soil-less media. I guess the question is how much of a soil do you want to grow in? The thing is really most "soil" sold in bags isn't actually soil at all, it is a mixture of materials (sphagnum, coir, perlite, compost...

Looks fine. Next time try with the HID off.

1st grow? Get a cheap bulb. It probably wouldn't yield the same amount but then again you might not get the most out of the Hortilux either.

Soil is an excellent buffer if it has a good cation exchange capacity. Then it will also have good buffer capacity, but in many circumstances you want to add calcitic or dolomotic limestone to the mix for long-term stability, due to materials used in the potting mix. If you use relatively pure...

Are those pictures of a single plant or different plants? Bottom looks like a male preflower for sure, but in the top picture the more visible preflower looks more cone shaped and hence female. Check with a loupe or magnifying glass.

You don't need your irrigation/fertigation solutions to be exactly 6.5, you don't need to use pH adjuster at all even if it's a bit higher than 7. So what is the pH of the original solution? Are you using pH down? If you are cut that out now. The actual truth is that any pH right around 6-7 is...

Digital ballasts aren't supposed to degrade, no, but bulbs obviously will. A digital ballast fails when internal components/circuitry do and it probably just wouldn't function at all. It probably also has a fuse, you could check that to see if it's going. The only way you'll be able to tell...

Start with a better potting soil\media. Look into biologicals such as mycorrhizae. Also liquid kelp could help, but a good media will help more than anything. If your mix is too heavy and has horrible drainage with a poor air-water ratio all the fancy growing products in the world aren't likely...

It's possibly they aren't really new trichome heads at all and that they just become more swollen.

Get a dual activated-carbon filter, TDS of that water must be insane. Otherwise use apple cider vinegar or citric acid. Blackstrap will help lower pH too. Are you growing in soil or what? In that case what you want to be more concerned about is the pH of that. Run-off will give you a ball-park...

You do realize that plants store energy, right?

Nobody said it killed plants at all, though it would if concentrations were high enough in which case there is a major issue at the water purification plant. Free chlorine will kill microbes at levels as low as 1 ppm or less. However, it is the organisms living in the top inch of the soil that...
