Hey folks, Growing in coco, Fox farm, ph good at 5.8, checked daily prior to watering. Here is the problem, they look reallllly light color, and 1 is almost lime color. Should be a tad darker, although they are growing fast, Id think they should be close to the baby leafs, ( very first...

2 weeks away from harvest (hopefully!) and a question popped into my head : Is there any point in pHing the water I'll be using for my final week's flush if I'm using pH 7 tap water? My understanding is, baring any super acidic / alkaline levels, the pH is important for nutrient...

Hey everyone! I have 2 Northern Lights photo in FFHF, 10 gallon air pots. I just flipped to 12/12 five days ago, but a few days before I flipped I started noticing that some leaves were turning sickly. From what I can tell looking at charts online, I think it's a deficiency of some sort but...

Hey everyone. As the title reads, I have a question about General Hydroponics Florakleen. I am running 2x 5 Gallon DWC bubble buckets under 2x COB 400w LEDs for my first grow. I recently started having some issues with PH due to a bad (cheap) PH Pen giving me terrible readings. I've been showing...

I grow in DWC systems and one of them is using 5 gallon buckets to Veg my plants and then transfer them to a Current Culture DWC system to flower. I have a water chiller on my flowering system but I don't have any H2O cooling for my 5 gallon buckets. I have wrapped my buckets in insulation and I...

The Montana Department of Agriculture on Monday refuted a federal decision to deny irrigation water to a Helena Valley hemp farmer, department officials said. Kim Phillips, the hemp farmer, is in full compliance with state and federal regulations on industrial hemp, and is not in violation of...

Ohhh Marijuana its that time; this is my First attempt ever at growing you and I have no idea how this is going to turn out. I remember a time where I smoked Marijuana for fun, now I need you so I am going to grow you. When I was younger (now 29) I did a lot of my own research on marijuana...

Just outside a subdivision overlooking Lake Helena, a sandy, 12-acre field scattered with sagebrush and gopher holes lies almost barren. Sparsely strewn throughout the dry tilled field, little green sprouts no taller than an inch cling to the last bit of moisture from the spring rains. They...

Will alkaline water raise soil pH safely?

OK, so a little info on this first. This past Sunday I changed out water/nutes Plant was about 14 days old and had been getting very light nutes the week before. During Week 2 I basically ran this in 3.5 Gallons of tap water in 5 gallon DWC bubble bucket (tap water ppm is 300). This is...

Hello, this is my first time so hopefully it goes well. I maybe should of chosen a quicker strain as waiting 3-4 months to harvest for a newbie isn't a great intro, but I was after a single strain plant and found 'Double Glock'. So this is what I've done so far. On the 31st May I filled a 30L...

I am getting ready for a 'fertigation' grow, basically hydro in coco filled pots. One of my problems going forward is what to do with my local tap water, both when using as a carrier for nutrients and when just watering. It is usually between 20 and 23ppm out of the tap while it appears the...

hey guys, quick question for you more experienced growers. currently I am using R/O water filter system in my 20 gallon undercurrent RDWC system and using CaMg+ in the water before adding nutrients. My Ph level likes to drift from 5.5 to 6.8 (ish) and it's rather annoying at times so my...

This has been quite the informative forum, and the knowledge here is quite impressive. There are literally THOUSANDS of sites, threads, and forums on these topics, and throughout months of reading, I somehow ended up her the last two days. While I understand some of the terminology, some is...

Hello everyone, I have a 4m2 DWC setup. I have a problem with the heat inside my greenhouse. Air temperature rises up to 37C and water rises up to 24C in the afternoon. I know this is too high temperature. Do you think I can solve my problem with just chilling water, say 19-20C? Or should I...

I have seen some say they use a PUR filter on their sink. I would imagine a Brita pitcher/filter would help in the same way, right? Should the water be treated for pH (or anything else) prior to watering or is pH something which is controlled in the plant/soil itself? Is the water treated...
