M that really sucks. Scary state that AZ. At least they didn't show up at anybodies house to arrest. They just took them and planted them for there own use. Stop buying seeds the cops like get the shit they don't like
I am using tap water.
I started my grow with distilled water and I was having PH problems.
Maybe now that the pump and lines (not to mention the dead gnat) are out of the res, maybe I'll try going back to distilled, but it's gonna kill me since I need at least 18 gallons a week (6 for the res change, and 2 chilled gallons a day).
The whole idea of growing it was so I didn't have to buy it, and so far I have spent enough that I probably could have paid for it until the end of the year.
Thanks for answering!
Hey burple,
I understand how you are feeling about your grow, but trust me you will save money in the long run and your smoke will be much better, not just because of the way you are growing but because you grew it!! Yes it costs quite a bit to set up and grow, just to come across a problem with your grow but that is part of the satisfaction of enjoying your own product. I started and threw out my very first crop, because I didn't know what I was doing, then I found this site and my grow showed the difference. I learned not to micro-manage, weed is very resilient (depending on the strain), most important I am learning how to read my plants they will tell you everything that you need to do, you just have to learn their language. It will come to you.
Hope your feeling better soon... before you know it you'll be smoking that great home grown again !!I am using tap water.

Hey Bro,
I got my kit from them, their Customer Service is right on. I recieved a damaged reflector, called and they sent one out to me immediately, never questioned me, he apologized and replaced. I have placed a couple of orders with them and have not had any problems.
Hey gang I'm back again, and still sick as a dog.
The bigger problem is my babies are too!
I have done everything I can possibly think of, but I can not get the PH under control.
I have done res changes where I made up 6 separate gallons of nuted and PH'd water, put them in the tank only to see the PH fluctuate wildly.
The other day I checked my PH and it was 4.8!
I added a little PH up, waited 20 minutes and was getting a steady 6.2.
I again checked it about 3 hours later and it was at 7.9!
There are no light leaks, yet my water is cloudy and I'm getting brown places on my roots.
I have been adding hydrogen peroxide (1 tablespoon per gallon) and it doesn't seem to help.
To deal with the heat issues, I have been removing 2 gallons from the res everyday and replacing with 2 gallons of fresh nuted PH balanced water, and then at night I put ice packs around the res to keep it cool.
I really don't know what else to do and now because of the PH problems, I am getting what looks to be nutrient lock out (going by the pics in the problems thread), I have rusty spotty leaves and the others that don't are dull and drooping down.
I'm getting really frustrated and this Sunday is 4 weeks vegging and the tallest plant is only 6 inches above the top of the res.
I'm going to try to get some pics tonight, but if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears, since I am at my wits end!
