Welcome Frank. Everyone here is pretty helpful, should get you up and going very well. With their help, I finished my first crop of hydro CH9 jack. She seemed to be pretty forgiving of the abuse of a newbie grower. SLC has to be a tough place to find weed. My fiancee went to BYU.

It seems like it's been a hot winter in FL this year. The inline duct fans (like the ones pictured at the top of the thread) are nearly worthless (hence the reason they are $25). They hardly move any air. I finally went out and bought a centrifugal fan for $80 that actually moves air and my...

Here are the latest pics. Going really well so far. I've switched nutes to Grotek Solo-Tek Grow. So far, I like the results. There still remains some spotting / burning. I'm going to try a Ca / Mg / Fe product tomorrow. My pH climbs to 5.9-6.0 and I correct it to 5.8 once daily when I...

After nearly 6 weeks of very subjective colour matching, I've come to the conclusion that the colour test sucks. It's fine for getting "in the ball park", but I don't think I've ever guessed within .2 pH of what my meter tells me. Maybe it would be good for an interior designer, painter, or...

I did another water change today. I'm doing them about every 10-14 days now. This time I switched nutes from GH Flora Series to Grotek Solo-Tek Grow. I am also using Grotek Pro Silica and Hydrogaurd in my reservoirs. I think I screwed up and added the volume that is supposed to be used...

I had it narrowed down to pH and a K deficiency. I got a new pH meter. I was keeping my pH a bit low, I'm now confident that I have it at 5.8 (really 5.7-5.9 with the +-.1 error). I added some Gro Tek Pro-Silica because it was the only thing I could find to raise K without adding more N and...

I came back from Thanksgiving holiday and the plants look nice and full. There is still yellow / brown spotting on the old growth, but the new growth looks alright for now. I plan on doing a water change and replacing the GH Nutes with the GroTek SoloGrow tomorrow. I have also got a new...

Buddy, I'm growing a mostly indica strain (ch9 Jack). What sort of pH should I shoot for? How much should I let it drift? I'm trying to keep it at 5.5-5.8 adjusted every day or two.

I've just noticed what looks like the early stages of this condition on 2 of the really healthy looking plants. I'm thinking some sort of deficiency. I'm planing on changing nutes next week. Maybe these pics will help. Healthy looking Plants Signs of trouble on the left plant (Kagura)...

I added some GroTek Pro-Silicate (3.8% soluble potash) to try to raise my K a bit. I'm also switching nutes to grotek solo-tek. After adding the Pro-Silicate (potassium silicate) my Ph jumped from around 5.5 to a bit over 6.5. How long should I let it run before I bring the ph back down?

That makes perfect sense when I look at the nutrient availability v. Ph charts. I've been trying to keep mine constant at 5.5. How often should I correct the Ph? How much should I let it drift?

I check Ph and TDS every day after I add top off distilled water. I'd say the Ph might get as low as 5.3 before I bring it up. It's a ph test kit, so it is a subjective "yellow-orange" that I call 5.5. I'm getting a decent meter tomorrow or Friday.

Ph stays pretty constant at 5.5. I'm using the GH Ph colour-test though, so there maybe some inaccuracy. I'll have a confident Ph reading as soon as my new meter arrives.

Ph is about 5.5-5.8, I'm using a colour-match test kit, so it's a rough estimate. I ordered a digital meter, it should be here tomorrow.

Don't know if this is the 'best' way, but I got 9 pretty healthy plants from 10 seeds. I started my first hydro beans about a month ago. Everyone on this forum helped alot. I soaked my rockwool in ph corrected distilled water overnight to minimize the high ph effect of rockwool. I had the...

I'm starting to lean towards K-deficiency. Does anyone know of a good product to use to supply K? I'm trying take a targeted approach to avoid simply adding more Flora Series nutes. New mystery burn: Burn on older leaves: Plant not too bad looking at a distance:o ...

I have 2 of my 9 1-month old CH9 Jack plants that don't seem to want to grown and green up like their sisters. There is browning at the edges of the older leaves and some burn spots on them as well. I was told that it could be N-burn, but after reading the trouble shooter I think it could...

7/9 looking really strong. I did a solution change today. I've raised the left planter nute levels to full strength Lucas (5M-10B). I've moved the 3 weakest plants to the right planter running at 3/4 strength Lucas formula. TDS: 473 on the Right planter (3/4 strength...

Does anyone think it's too early to mist them lightly a few times a week? I spayed 4 of them with distilled h20 tonight about 30 min before lights out. I didn't want water drops burning holes in the leaves, so I did it near the dark period, but I'm a bit concerned about mold. I got the fans...

This is my first attempt to grow. I lived in Zuid-Holland for some time and besides my formal studies, I spent much of the past year learning about cannabis horticulture. Besides being a casual vaporizer user, I have a relative suffering with MS. This bud is for her. 10 CH9 Jack Feminized...
