Guru is right, HPS is very, very good, but first time growers might want to consider a less expensive system to "test drive" the whole growing process. Growing marijuana has a fair amount of challenges to overcome. Recommended watts per square foot of the garden is 20 - 40 watts. So if you had...

Thanks All! As long as the water soluble nutes I add are roughly 6.5 - 6.8 Ph, I can safely add without worry of raising Ph, unless current Ph is lower than Ph I am adding? But, if I add too many nutes with desirable Ph or not, I can still hurt the plants? I am also wondering the best way to...

Thanks for the help Hick and NoName, I have made the appropriate adjustments. Have either of you heard about raising the lights for flowering so the stigmas have to stretch or reach for the light, thus increasing their length/size? Hick, I am pretty sure that my Ph problem was from...

I have a couple of questions for all the experts out there: 1. How far should the tops of the plants be from the Flourescent lights(3 - 100 WATT/coil) during flowering? 2. Should I give them all red light, or 2 reds to 1 blue ratio? I have had a Ph problem in the past, and I know high...

aka, I am guessing that you are trying to tell me that "Ph Up" products are not made for indoor plants in soil, and that they are only for indoor hydro? Thanks for the reply!

The chat room seems to be a JAVA Applet(ParaChat). In order for this Applet to work, computers need Sun's JRE (JAVA Runtime Environment) to function. Here is the link: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html Then click on: Download J2SE JRE and install. NOTE: Applets are...

We should set up a time that we all go live and have ourselves a chat! Or, am I not in the loop and you guys have chats set up already?? Sorry for being such a newbie:o

How many nodes should be alternating? Alternating on the main stem only, or can it be on the branches coming from the nodes? Several nodes or just one? Lastly, does the length of the space between the alternating nodes matter? Sorry for all the questions, but I am getting ready to flower...

Hello! I was wondering if the "Ph - Up" products for aquariums can be used to raise the Ph in soil, or is this just used for hydro? Also, can you use lime in a fast acting manner, while the plant is growing, or does this need to be applied to un-used soil? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the chart Hick. Very helpful. I do want to clarify that I am understanding the chart correctly. What I am gathering is that the Ph range that creates the best environment for absorbing the largest span of nutes is 6.5. Is this about right? The Ph test I took puts my soil at...

Thanks Diseased Stain. Any suggestions as to how I get the Ph optimal/normal. I read that normal Ph of Marijuana is about 6.5 - 7.0. I checked the Ph of the soil I am using, and it seems to be a little on the sour side (6.0 - 6.5). Is this .5 difference enough to cause this damage? Thanks...

Hey OZ, I am curious about several things I see in this picture. The first thing I noticed is the width of the stems...pretty large for an indoor system. What sort of lights/soil are being used? If high intensity lights are being used, how far are they from the plants? The second thing I...

I'm in the starting stages of this whole growing thing, so I am currently using soil. When I have more experience I am definately looking into hydro. It looks like you have a hydro setup? It seems like alot of prep work? I have a new post showing what sort of leaf damage I am dealing...

This problem is starting to really annoy me. I have posted about this before, but I thought I would add some more detailed pictures. You can really see the detail if you click on them to enlarge. If anyone has seen this...please HELP! Thanks in Advance.

WOW! That is quite an amazing sea of green. I am learning the hard way that the overall health of the plant supercedes the occasional distorted leave. I have a plant that shows serious signs of "something" that eventually causes the large fan leaves to drop. The good thing is that the top of...

Thanks for the reply Hick and Ganja. Is Black Gold soil widely available? I have not seen this before. Also, Hick got me thinking and I went to Radio Shack and got one of their $10 illuminating (60 - 100 times magnification) microscopes to examine the leaves closer. By the way I would...

Thanks Alot Icky and Max! You guys helped me confirm the best possible scenario for this situation. A couple of days ago I transplanted to bigger pot, watered thoroughly, and cut off dead and decaying leaves. So far so good. Actually, it seems to have bounced back quite well. I am also...

Hello to ALL! I consider myself an intermediate grower in spite of the usual speed bumps like typhoons, infestations, earthquakes, and genocide, but I cannot seem to figure out the current problem I have?!? Here is the situation: SOIL/PREP 1. Miracle Grow potting soil bought outdoors(Home...
