That is definitely root rot. The thing with the leaves looks like a general nutrient deficiency, and is probably just a side effect because your plant can't get the nutrients it needs through the roots. I would thoroughly clean your system and see if you can find any rotting matter that got in...

Have you tried using Aquashield? It's pretty cheap and you can buy it online or at a hydroponic store. I kept having problems with root rot in my bubbleponics setup, even with controlled temps and huge airstones. I tried H2O2, SM-90, and Subculture B and they all failed. Aquashield was the only...

I've had plants look like that when my LED lights are too close so it could be that the plants are getting too much light. What's the temperature? I know you said you had a 600W HPS which is 30" from the plants, and that seems like it should probably be enough distance. However, you might try...

The only issue I see with this is that in my experience when I mix coco coir and perlite, the coco coir tends to move to the bottom over time after watering the plant, while perlite tends to rise to the top. I've had plants where the bottom half was 100% perlite and the top half was 100% coco...

It looks like anyone could peek over your fence and see them. How are you keeping them secret? Do they smell?

The pictures and symptoms sound a bit like root rot which is caused by overwatering. When you transplanted the plant did the roots smell bad or look brown/slimy?

The steps to make sure you get THC: 1.) Make sure you get a good strain to start with 2.) Make sure you're growing a female plant 3.) Take care of her and give her enough light (this forum is all about caring for cannabis) 4.) Make sure you harvest the buds at the right time (there's also...

As far as CFLs are concerned, the light they give off is only usable for 2-6 inches from the bulb. Any part of the plant that is further than that from a light isn't really getting much. The aim is to make sure all the green leaves of the plant are getting bathed in light. You're looking for any...

When you describe the top leaves looking like a canoe, it sounds like heat stress. If that's the case, you'll notice it's worse around leaves that are close to the hot lights. 88 degrees is a bit hot for a cannabis plant, but depending on your medium (soil, hydro, etc) your plant will probably...

You're fine so far. A little varience of only a few minutes is probably not going to affect your plants. However, if you're serious about growing, it's great to get a timer because they are mechanical and will do work for you, and will be more precise than even the most careful person. However...

The regular CFls work great. Try to get CFL bulbs that are "Soft White" colored (they'll say they have a 'color temperature' of 2700k) because those ones will help promote flowering. However, the "Bright White" (6500k) bulbs will also work. You will also get usable light from the "Daylight"...

White stuff? Like mold or like balls? Do you have any pics? In either case, if you cut off the affected parts, you're probably fine as long as the rest of the cola looks normal.

If you use tap water instead of distilled water, it may act as a buffer against the pH drop and you may not get such a dramatic drop. I use tap water all the time and my plants never seem to mind. The easiest way to adjust the pH of your water is to go to the gardening store and and buy some pH...

You have to realize that many factors are different between different grow areas. If your grow room is really hot, you may need to keep the lights either closer or further away in order to provide your plant with optimal growth. Some people have really good experiences with floros too. With the...

Welcome to RIU!

From what I understand, Mayans put their calendars down in stone and their calendar went in cycles. The 2012 date just happens to be at the end of one of their calendar cycles. The Mayans didn't attribute any significance to the date, and the most likely cause for the calendar ending at that...

The way to fatten buds, in order of precedence: 1.) Make sure there are no nutrition/pH/other problems. This means not giving too many nutrients as well as preventing deficiencies. Plants that get too many nutrients often have lush green foliage/leaves, but don't tend to make huge buds. In my...
