I use a T5 (8) bulb fixture currently with 4 bulbs on with a 50/50 mix of red/blue bulbs. Yes, I would like to save these if possible. Have the following, and have been looking forward to them for a while: Golden Kush, Goji OG, Bubble Gum, Pure Gooey, Berry Mania x Dark Cross, and Molokai Kush.

I am excited to say I have read through the entire post, and have had a revolutionary change in mindset. Picked up a bottle of Dyna-Gro a couple weekends ago, and moved all my cana specific nutrients and unlabeled snake oil products to a corner in the garage. I am tired of the yellowing...

Thought it would be nice to start a thread to get the pros and cons of using Root Stimulators. Do you use them? What results have you seen with them. Two popular products are Rapid Start by General Hydroponics and Root Excelurator by House and Garden. Which do you think is better? Have you...

I am making some supersoil. I just opened my trash can to find hundreds of small bugs connected at their rear running around in the bin. They appear to have wings, and are about 1/32 of an inch long. They also look like they can run in either direction. I have had many fungus gnats over the...

Thank you. The heat wave here in CA did a nice job of drying it out this weekend. It is back in the bucket at a more normal moisture level.

Well I had about 5 gallons of Supersoil left in a container. It was dry so I rewetted it to get the soil life going again. I think I got it too wet, and now it has a bad smell. It is not a sweet organic smell but more of a sewer smell. I am concerned I got the bad anaerobic microbes going...

So what are some of the best ways to bring the super soil back to a better PH range? I did let the supersoil cook for 3-1/2 months so my thought was that this should have given the Dolomite Lime plenty of time to work, and for the other ingredients to break down. My pots are 5 gallon, and the...

I have heard a couple of methods. Bury a tuna can or small cup so the lip is only slightly above ground level, and put a little beer or vegetable oil in it. The earwigs are attracted to the liquid get in it and drown.

Well I posted this over in the plant problems forum but with 120 views and no replies I thought I may have better luck over here with people using SubCool"s soil recipe. I need some help with diagnosis and solutions. This is my first grow in SubCool's supersoil recipe. The plants were doing...

I need some help with diagnosis and solutions. This is my first grow in SubCool's supersoil recipe. The plants were doing great until a couple weeks ago when I started to notice the new growth taking on a lime green color. It starts at the base of the leave and works out to the tips which...

Did you moisten the mixture when you were done mixing it with your base soil? Might also add a little fish emulsion to the water that you use to moisten the mix.

I am noticing that once I PH my water and let it sit that the PH gradually rises again. My tap water is 7.6. I start by leaving this out 24-48 hours to remove the Chlorine. I then use citric acid to adjust my water PH to 6.4. When I check some of that water a day or two later the PH has...

I know people who do this for their outdoor grows. It will slow you down by a couple weeks as the plant transition between flower and veg. If you can see preflowers, depending on strain, this will be less stressful on the plants. Even if they are not fully back into veg when you move them...

For Sativa you might also check out Holy Smoke (many), Snow High Seeds (Panama Black, also many others), Canabiogen (Panama), Positronics (Cum Laude, Grapefruit), Blimburn (Tijuana). I have several of these but have not ran them yet. Maybe next fall.

I will check the PH of the run off water the next time I water. Thank you all for the input. I think I will back off the foliar feeding for a while and see what happens. I forgot to mention earlier that I watered a couple times with H&G Roots Excelurator, and G.H. Rapid Start. These both...

One of my biggest challenges has always been diagnosing plant problems. My plants are 3 weeks old, and I am starting to notice some yellowing of the first set of leaves, and a couple leaf tips turning brown. I am using an organic soil, Victory Brand Superior Garden Soil, that I have amended...

Yes I am very serious. These tomatoes are right next to my other plants. I have never seen this, it is displaying itself on the tomatoes first, so I thought I would see if anyone had ever seen anything like this before.

I am growing tomato rootstock for the first time. All six of the small rootstock plants have a blistering on their leaves, and the leaves are curling under. I looked for insects on the bottom of the leaves, and did notice a couple very small grey round patches with my 30x loupe. Does anyone...

My city water ranges from 250-450 TDS with an average of 300. My PH is average of 7.6. I am using Subcools soil mix for the first time for this grow. Can I use this city water just leaving it out 24 hours to eliminate the Clorine? If so, should I PH my water down to 7 before using. How...
