I finally overcame my overfeeding issues. I used to have the worst looking fan leaves. The tops were purple and the bottoms looked like overripe banananas, all the tips were burnt, just a mess. But I did get some decent sized buds. Really nice looking if you trimmed off all the ugly burned tips...

My local store is selling Green Planet nutrients now. Their Medi One is advertised as a one-part organic nutrient that works in coco, beautiful! Except that the feed chart for their one-part feed system included five bottles, and in the middle of flowering medi-one only makes up 12.5% of the...

I'm reading some articles and posts where people are talking about PPM of P and (less importantly) K. Can I usually assume that if someone is talking PPM of specific elements (as opposed to ppm on a TDS meter) that they're talking about elemental P/K instead of P2O5/K2O?

I'm moving outdoors for the first time, where I live I can only grow 4 plants, and they can't be visible from the road so it's gotta be a greenhouse for me. Right now we're looking at a small poly tunnel because we own some plastic and that seems like the cheapest way to go. It'll be around 7'...

I'm losing my indoor growing space so now I gotta grow a year's worth of weed outdoors in one go using just 4 plants. Right now I've got rooted clones in 18/6 light. I'm trying to get them outdoors without putting them into flower. Last night I dropped to 16/8. I was going to reduce 15 minutes...

Right now, I'm watering at 1.5EC until my runoff is no higher than 2.0EC. My plants look happier than they ever have, but I'm wasting minimum 35% runoff with each watering. The reason I started with the heavy runoff is my veg plants have always been amazing and they always had (unintentional)...

When I started growing, I had dreams of running DWC. After fighting root rot for a few crops, I switched to drain-to-waste coco and it's been mostly good times since. I've got some interest in running recirculating coco so I can run smaller pots and water multiple times a day. And for other...

I had a hydrometer issue. I thought I was just down to 58% RH in the curing can but it turns out I'm actually closer to 68%. I just found out about cob curing two days ago and corn is on sale at the local grocery store. It'd be a fun day if I bought the corn, dried the husks, wrapped the cobs...

I messed up with cloning and wound up with only one plant to grow in a closet that I normally flower four small ones in. I'm too lazy to trim so instead of scrogging I tried to make one plant into four plants by topping and training down. My indicas usually about double in height, will this...

I grew a few organic plants in my closet and couldn't believe how thick the stems were. My coco plants get good bud but I always have to stake them up. I decided to add potassium silicate to (hopefully) 100ppm of SiO2 during veg to make the stems stronger. After mixing my nutrients and bubbling...

I've started adding malted barley powder (5g/10L) and seaweed extract (1-2-5, 20-25g/10L) to what used to be chemical nutrient mix for my coco plants. It seems fine so far but it hasn't been long enough to really tell. During the heat wave, some of the buckets developed a little bit of foam. I...

I've started messing around with organics in my Coco grow on a couple of my plants. I'm adding about 20g of 1-2-5 Seaweed extract and 5 grams of malted barley powder per ten litres of water, in addition to potassium silicate and a GH micro clone. It's only been ten days so it's too early to...

Some of my upper fan leaves are getting this. Coco, almost 40 days since the flip to 12/12. Feed every watering, 20% runoff. At the flip I was (from the labels): N-150 P2O5-50 K2O-100 C-120(high, kind of hard to fix with what I have on hand, for now) Mg-20(Low, because I had a bad info on Mg%...

I've been seeing the organic guys talk about malted barley powder for a while, and when I was looking for some pond enzyme to clear the roots from my coco I saw that a lot of it uses barley enzyme as well. I mixed a bunch of it into a batch of used coco that I planted into. The plants starved...

I'm trying to get my feeding dialed in and keep having issues. Plants are about two weeks into bloom, the stems were going a bit purple. I raised the bloom formula a bit, and the purple started going out of the stems, but now I'm getting burned tips AND yellowing leaves, at what I think are low...
