thanks dubB83
bottom side? the roots are fine and super long and vigorus. I think there are only 4 out of like 20 that are like this. a few others were but it went away. I am using stinkbuds veg recipe and am only at 1360ppm. It allmost looks like some little pest was in the stawk but it doesnt make since cause its only by the neoprene collar and no were else. and the tops and roots are fine and huge. I allmost cant take some of them out of the vegger to switch into the flower unit.:leaf:

Stink Bud is there ANY way I could get a signed copy of your High Times cover? I will send it to you or Pay Pal you and you send one to me so you can maintain your privacy? I would gladly donate a little extra for the Stink Bud Cause so you can pass on more love. I just feel it would be an honor since you are such a great guy! I am sure I am not the ONLY one. We could pitch in to get you a PO Box or something.:bigjoint:Peace brother and I riding the Karma Train! You are an inspiration Bro!

We need to keep our security top priority bro. I wish I could send you a signed mag but you would have to send me your address.

I don't want to know where anyone lives. I could never live with myself If I caused someone to get busted.

I am very flattered though. I will talk with High Times and see if there is someway for you guys to buy signed copies from them.

Word of warning to y'all (once again!): GET A CONTACTOR!!!!

The C.A.P. timer will support two pumps at most. I've been running three for a bit over a week now (was waiting until payday to get a contactor... bad move) and had a bit of a tragedy this morning. When I woke up and checked on the plants, they were all wilted over and drying out. Of course the timer craps out when the HPS is on! I have no idea how long they were without water for... I remember hearing it go on just as I was drifting off to sleep, so at most they were without water for 7 hours or so... not very long, but plenty long enough when under an HPS.

The babies (clones and veg plants) are OK and will survive. The girls that are a week into flower I'm not so sure about... the bottom parts of the plant have perked up, the top is still very wilted. We'll see. Worst-case scenario they don't make it and I'm set back three weeks. It could be much worse... lesson learned.

I checked out my timer without a load attached and it still works fine, so there's some cash saved. I hooked it up to a 50A contactor bought from a local pool/spa supply place (I know 50A is overkill, even for 5 pumps, but I do not want to worry about this happening again!) and it has been working perfectly since.

Also, congrats on the High Times cover Stink!

Sorry to hear about your mishap. This has been a worry of mine also. But so far ive been running 5 pumps off of one cap dne timer with no problems .. after reading about a few problems, i really need to get me a contactor. Its interesting that you can just buy one at a pool store, what and how do you hook it up? I am such a dummie when it comes to electrical stuff.

Hey Stink:
How do you handle the co2 during the flushing cycles? I was under the impression that co2 at the flushing cycle would decrease the potency so it was wise to cut the co2 off during this period. well if we are sog, dont we always have some plants in flush or close to flush so when is the co2 cut off? I ask because im am at a refill time on my co2 and I can see a difference on this 2nd batch over the 1st in that the 1st had plenty co2 and i got pretty good yield out of it, while the 2nd batch has only had 1 wk of co2 b4 the tank ran out and its looking way smaller than the 1st at this time, the 2nd batch is at around 5wks now and it will be fri b4 i get the tank back so then it will only be a couple days of co2 b4 the 6th wk which begins flush for the 2nd batch. an so forth an so forth , do you see where im am getting confused here?

I can't imagine how CO2 would decrease potency. The "high" of a plant is pretty much decided by genetics.

I don't have a choice anyway because I always have three batches flowering at once. If I shut my CO2 off for two weeks at a time I might as well not have it.

I have grown both with and without CO2 and the only difference I've noticed is that the plants grow faster with CO2.

The stems are thicker and the internode length is shorter also.

The only downside to CO2 is having to have the bottle filled twice a month. I have to drive 20 miles and lug that heavy bottle up and down the stairs!

The extra 4oz. is worth it though.

I love to take the biggest, burliest guys I know and turn them into sniveling, crying, eye bulging, pink faced babies. With just one bong hit....

I would have to say my buds are potent.

Ok guys this is my first aero/ntf grow and I need some help.
I belive I have some leaf tip burn from adding the nuits to early maybe?.
also the bottom of the stawks are swelling and cracking/getting bigger or looking bruised or something. Its only on a few and the rest are fine. Same with the leaf burn its only a few. The roots are all long as hell most in the water allready (and its a 45 g tote) most are just over 2 weeks by maybe a day or 2. These are all from bag seed to test first exept the 3 power skunk are from seed about a week old. My ph down wont be here for 2 more days cause I orderd a gallon. its at 7.1 rt now and I think this is causing the stem problem on the few. :wall: the ppm is at 1360 for now. Does any one know if these are nuit locked or had theres look like this before. The one leaf I have pictured is set out over night so thats why it looks so dry.
Stinbud or stinkbuddys please tell me what ya think. I feel like an overprotective mother. lol:bigjoint:
Thanks for everyones help
peace

It's good that you posted those pics bro. That's called "damping off disease".

It is caused by having the stem area too wet.

What you need to do is go in and scrape off the bad rotted crap from the outside of the stem. Take a little baking soda and coat the outside of the wound.

The baking soda will dry out the branch and allow the plant to heal itself. Eventually the stem will grow back to normal if you caught it soon enough.

This is rare but has happened to me once before. I was able to fix it with no ill effects to the plant.

Speaking of security... was wondering if anyone had any tips on smell-proofing?

Been doing some reading.. it sounds like the best way would be to vent from the flower room to another, "scrubber" room, that scrubs all odors with ozone, then exhaust this somewhere else.. maybe an attic or chimney?

I have a carbon filter in the flower room that vents directly into the return air register of the house HVAC. No smell whatsoever in the house, you can see a pic of it in my journal.

Make sure to keep the stems dry.

I've found two different type of net pot collars. One is thin and made of neoprene. The other is twice the thickness and made of high density foam.

I really like the thick foam ones better. None of the water gets past the collar onto the stem like I've seen the neoprene ones do.

As soon as water goes up the stem you may have problems with rot.

The foam collars seal the stem better so you don't have rot problems.

They also support the plants better.
