    Does PH have to be exact?

    i grow in coco. I always go for a 5.8. However, I would imagine that anywhere from 5.5-6.2 would work out. 5.8 is optimal though.

    Light/Timing Problem

    I plan on getting another light... but getting another light won't fix the fact that they were in the dark for 14 hours last night. I'm not completely retarded. I get that having an extra light would make things easier. But my question wasn't "should I get another light?" there are a few...

    Light/Timing Problem

    i know about 12/12... thats not the issue here. my blooming plants have been on 12/12 for 37 days. the issue is that they got 14 hours of dark (apposed to 12) last night on accident. There are 10 hours left in the regular day cycle of the plants. where do I go from here? Do I: 1) act like...

    Light/Timing Problem

    i have 2 timers one for each room. I only have 1 600 w hps, 2 20w t12s, and the sun. The sun is only up for for 10 hours here. so... durring the day, the grow plants get the sun and the floros. At night they get the hps. The plants in bloom only get the hps during the day. I know I could...

    Light/Timing Problem

    I have two grow rooms and one light. one of my rooms is for blooming plants... one is for growing plants. Evey day at 5:45 am I have to move the light from my grow room to my bloom room. The light turns on at 6 am and goes to 6 pm. This morning I slept through my alarm and didn't get my...

    Progress

    I've had this idea of taking a picture every three days in my head for a while now. The best I could do was sporadic pics throughout. These are blackjacks. Start of bloom: week and a half into bloom: 2 weeks later: few days later: few more days later: few more days...

    All My Pictures!!!

    you said that was your first grow. nobody's first grow looks great. mine looked worse. The bud certainly looked good. my first grow was waaaaaaay worse.

    All My Pictures!!!

    those plants look like a small gust of wind would take them out. the bud doesn't look bad though.

    All My Pictures!!!

    here's another one from 3 hours ago. I just got a new camera today (my old one quit working... I left it next to my magnetic ballast last night... I think that has something to do with it) and I fired off a bunch of shots.

    All My Pictures!!!

    Here's my blackjack grow. I've been posting pics in this thread showing its progress over the weeks. I just started week 6. The "swell" is certainly under way. Blackjacks are listed as a 9 to 11 wk grow. This one definitely appears to be an early finisher... maybe 8-9 wks.

    Runoff

    upon further inspection... the pH of the runoff of the other 5 plants was about 6.4-6.5. I'm betting there were some solids on the bottom of that particular tray that dissolved, giving me a higher ph reading. anyway... all is great. thanks everyone.

    Runoff

    oh that hydroton was rinsed... handful by handful. When I first started growing (a few years ago) I ran into deficiencies and overdoses. I know what they look like. I don't see any problems on my plants. I'm just more curious about tweaking and adjusting things to make a perfect crop.

    Runoff

    currently they are getting 7.5 ml floranova bloom, 1 ml floralicious+, 5 ml CaMg+, 5 ml liquid koolbloom, and 10 ml floranectar (and 2 ml ph up = 5.9)... I do this every three days.

    My plant is a hermie! Help

    it depends on what type of hermi you have. If you have a "ball" (genetic) hermi... I'd get rid of it pretty quick. If you have a "banana" (stress induced) hermi I would just pluck off the bananas. the balls will spread pollen very easily. the bananas will just pollinate their local area...
