Just wondering what nutrients do you guys prefer.  And what do you use as bloom boosters.  I used bloombastic but it's very pricey..

I know it outdoor season. But those that have indoor setups running multiple lights.  What power backup system do you have?

Should I use biobizz bloom with every watering as the instruction says?

Is it not too much nutrients?

The plants in the rear are showing these issues

I agree about the root issue. 

@nakes

The first thing I noticed is that you didn't mention the heat in the tent?

You did mention the extraction fan being out, that may play around with temps a bunch, but it will have a bigger impact on the RH, depending on your setup. Is the extraction fan only cooling down the light? If RH is a problem and the plants can't breathe properly it's gona be a problem. 

Another big one, where the root problem becomes the leaf problem - Check on your rootzone temperature in correlation to your leaf surface temperature. Those HID lights are not enough to heat up a rootzone, they give off nice heat, but once the cold settles in the soil the light will basically just heat up the surface of the stuff it hits, like your leaves. Giving you big contrast in the temp around your roots and on your leaf surface. Then the heat from the light becomes more of an issue than a good thing.  

How big are the plants? If you talking bout throwing them away, you gona replace them? Just asking, because they clones I know they photos and photos can be turned around at the grave. I like making recoveries instead of hitting the restart button, cause I learn more that way. If it was a bunch of autos I couldn't really help you much and if it was a bunch of different phenos from a seed pop I'd say no way of throwing them out, but if they still small clones and you got replacements I'd say feed them to the worms. if they big plants it's way too little of a issue to be thinking bout throwing them out. 

Another reason I ask how big they are - 250w mh in a 1.2 tent is actually a very good combo, but at what distance is the light hanging in correlation to how big the plants are? they're clones so I can't go by age or say "seedling" stage, but clones go through a sensitive stage too when they small. 

I'd like to add, smaller rootzones will generally be a bit colder than bigger ones. Eg. - a control measure would be to take both a 10L pot of soil or water and a 100L pot of soil or water, heat both to the same temperature on the surface and internal, take them both out in the cold, the 10L soil/water would have cooled down much quicker than the 100L pot. If you have a plant growing in there and you got some life going, some movement, gas exchanges and all that then it creates some more warmth for itself. Smaller pots typically don't work in a living soil way, big living soil beds have nice internal temperature that it self regulates like it does with PH and EC and all that, but with smaller seperate pots need something external to keep the roots warm to keep up with the 23 - 28°C range you want above soil.

How do you grow - Organic? Synthetic? What kinda feed you use and all that stuff? 

I do have a intake fan but I think my veg tent is stacked too much and air circulation is the problem aswell

What you suggest I do Evan?

Should I toss them in the bin?

All the other plants looks good and healthy. Is just 4 of this one strains clones doing this texture on the leaves

Hi I have 4 plants that look like this pic. Plant in the pic is the worse looking one.  What can cause this? Is it heat stress?  My extractor fan fan of for a day or two without me knowing. 

250w MH  in a 1.2 tent

What you guys think?

Is running multiple 600w HPS ballast worth running or would it just hurt my pocket?

Thanx psyclown. Will hear from them.

hello my fellow growers, where can i buy the qb288 boards from for a diy build?

Fire juice is rank, but the plants love it. it's ingredients are fermented ostrich bones. I kicked over a bottle in the garden once and it stank out the place.

 

You can use any of the liquid feeds mentioned, or buy the pellets and granules at the garden centre. 

You can mix your own with your nitrogen from the pigeon, Bonemeal will add phosphate, dolomite lime for magnesium, gypsum for calcium and potassium sulphate to push the flowers along. 

If I understand you correctly I can mix this all together?

im growing in soil havent added anything yet. will take some pics tonight

so what yall think im better off buying nutes for flowering? i dont like the synthetic nutes

hello my fellow green thumbs, as the title says im using pigeon poop to feed my vegging plants and the love it. i know its very hot but i use a mild mixture. thing is what can i use during the flower stage as the pigeon poop have to much nitrogen content. or do i have to buy flowering nutrient.

i know bone meal and such but do you know of a good recipe i can use to flower my plants.

thanx for your time..

It's led select... Thanx bru

Thanx baksteen. Jy  is klip hard..........

Anyone know where I can buy the full spectrum cob chips locally?

Mambawana how should I test it and what do I look out for?

My grow space is in my yard so I want to put the ballast inside the house. At the moment the ballast is inside the grow space. Running a bit extra hot some days. I have a Intake that bring fresh air to the ballast. Will have to make or buy a waterproof box to keep the ballast outside the grow space.

Thanks clown

Highchome made some fabric pots check his post

600w digital ballast

Hi everyone what is the maximum length I can make my his bulbs cord from the ballast?  I will need it to be 7-10m is that fine?

So what is legal whTs not considered legal? I don't wanna break any laws.....

Thanx gents.
