Light going through the bucket
JoseTodoLocostarted grow question 4 years ago
I notice that light might be coming through the bucket. Not sure if this could be a problem, I think I will be doing something to cover the bucket. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

Algae will defintely start gorwing over 90-100+ days.. or even a shorter run with an autoflower. That'll steal O2 and N at the least. Roots aren't a fan of light, either.
if you have a swap out and clean system, this may not be a big deal, if cleaned often enough, but roots still don't like light and however that might impact your grow remains.
Tape some aluminum foil around it? cardboard.. anything. spray paint the outside black might work?

Buy some thick posterboard and wrap it around the bucket. I recommend white so it doesn't heat up your bucket. Ideally, you could spray paint it, but probably not easy to do mid grow.

Yeah, cover the bucket with something that don't let light through.. Roots do not like light,

Yesterday I asked about these plants and they told me that they were root problems, the others are starting to yellow too. I should keep giving them nutrients or I'll just give them water

Purple stems/AdviceI am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

Leaves point down/slow growth/ maybe rootbound or root rot? Did I fuck up transplanting too soon?I'm on the 3 week of the grow. The leaves started pointing down and they are growing very slowly. Since I have seen the roots on the bottom of the vase early on I thought the problem was rootbound so I transplanted them. But they are very small. Did I do wrong? Signs of root rot?

Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...Week 2

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Can root damage cause this?The little f*cker has a major damage to his taproot since germination phase. I accidently broke the tip of it. But she was very strong. Fought for her life and won the battle. Now she is 12 days old and shows this. Is this caused by the root damage or from other circumstances?

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?
