I posted once with my problems and the consensus was that pH fluctuation, overwatering, and possible over feeding was the culprit. I went a week with only water and no nutes. This appeared to perk them up a bit. I added nutes with the next water and I got nute burn again. I've watered them...

Does anyone use an organic pH up? When I mix my organic nutes in with my distilled water, it often brings the pH below 5. I have been using a tad bit of lime dissolved in water to bring it up to around 6.3-6.5, but now I'm being told that this adds too much Ca and Mg to the soil. Does anybody...

I have 4 plants growing, ranging from 2-5 weeks old. All of them are still in veg, getting 24 hours of light a day. They are all showing varying degrees of the same problem. One symptom is that the lower leaves have rusty coloring on the edges and tips. This appeared at least 2 weeks ago...

I'm wondering if what I'm seeing on my plant are alternating nodes. This particular plant is about 4 weeks old. I'm seeing what I would consider alternating nodes. Here's a few pics, I'll let some more experienced people be the judge. pic 1: closeup of node pic2: a little further out, same...

I have some "rusty" colored leaf tips on two of my plants. This only effects a few leaves, mainly towards the top. Some leaf margins are also slightly yellow or golden colored, but the other leaves and plants as a whole are green and very healthy looking. The leaf tips that are discolored are...

I recently noticed what appears to be pre-flowers on one of my plants. I think it may still be a bit young, and I'm not very sure if what I see are indeed preflowers, or just some type of growth, so I took some pictures. This plant is about 17 days old. The area where I see the structure in...

I'm growing indoor under 250W HPS and the plant in question is potted in MG Organic Choice soil with perlite. I have added no nutrients yet, and the plant's current age is 20 days old. I noticed some slight yellowing on the lower leaves about a week ago and added some lime to the soil as...

I was in my local Organic and Hydroponic shop the other day to buy some soil. I wanted to get FoxFarm Ocean Forest. While I was there the shop owner suggested I try Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. He said it had a lot of beneficial micorhizae (sp?) and other stuff in it but it didn't have the kelp...

I currently have a 250W digital ballast HPS grow light, I want to get a MH bulb to use for my veg cycle. In looking into this, I see that the 250 watt is a bit harder to find than the more common four or six hundred watters. I found one and was about to purchase it, but I stopped when I read...

I have a K2 seedling under my 250W HPS right now. The light is about 18-20 inches above the small plant so it doesn't get to hot. It seems to be growing alright, but looks like it's stretching. Would I be better off growing it under some cool white cfl's at tis early stage to promote short...

This is my second grow attempt, my first one went well until I left my plant for a weekend and the reservoir got low and the plant dried up and died. This time I have Nirvana's K2 seeds and a 250 watt HPS. I have one plant growing in soil right now and I leave it outside on a balcony during...

I recently relocated to a large city (like a million) so I figure that there's gotta be a pretty decent ganja supply nearby. What I'm wondering though is what is the best way to try to find the type of people that might know where to locate that green? I thought about just asking people that I...

I just recently came back to my home town after finishing semester at my out-of-state college. I was greeted by a friend who had been "saving something special for me" as I hadn't been smoking for 40-some days previous to coming home due to a recent drug test. To get to the point, I smoked one...

I just placed an order for Nirvana's K2 from Dr. Chronic. I've heard some mixed results on this site about the doc, but I've heard more positive than negative, so I thought I'd try it. I wonder how long they'll take to get here and if the "stealth packaging" will fool customs. Hopefully in a...

In your opinon what is the best HPS bulb that is available in 250watts? Best as far as quality, and also best as far as value for the price. Maybe quality and value will be two different brands, but I'm wondering about both. I've heard good things about Hortilux but I couldn't find a 250watt...

I'm looking into purchasing an HID light finally, I got back my tax return, and growing supplies are where it's going, thanks uncle sam for getting my money back to me! I want to get a 250W HPS, I would like to go 400, but think I may be limited by heat generated by 400 watts. If 250 means I...

I have a pre-employment urine drug test coming up, very soon, I have to schedule it within the next 5 days, and I have only been clean for 20 days as of today. In my opinion that's not long enough for me to be confident I can piss clean, and I don't want to rely on any miracle substances that...

I was browsing through the rubbermaid containers during a recent trip to walmart, and I was looking for a future container to setup four plants in. One that caught my eye mainly due to it's size was a 16 gallon with dimensions 30.5"x14.3"x12.8" Is this container deep enough to accomodate the...

I recently transplanted a two week old plant from a peat/pearlit mixture into a hydro DWC setup. The DWC consists of a 6'' net pot filled with hydroton. The water has a dilute mixture of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-1.5-4. I tested the water with my new PPM meter and it read ~180. PH of...

I'm interested in buying a 250watt HPS and I see that there are two different types, one has the balllast right in the hood behind the reflector, and one has the ballast seperate about ten feet away from the bulb. Are there any advantages to having an integrated ballast? I would think that...
