BoredSangheilistarted grow question 6 years ago
No matter how much PH down is added, my water naturally skyrockets back to a 6.4-6.5 because of the reused hydroton (regret reusing it)
Should I let the water stay where it is, or should I continue to add more PH down every day? (I think this is damaging my leaves.)

So your PH keep getting high because you did not buffered the clay balls (hydroton) at the right PH before you start your grow. Clay balls are rarely pre buffered so each time you plan to use them save a week to buffer them properly. Now that you are in you can't go back so continue to give some PH down , it will slowly buffer the clay balls until you reached a PH that did not fluctuate like that. An other possibility would be your fertilizer: maybe it is a formula that lead to PH fluctuation. Your leaves could be affected by the PH but also by your very low RH : 30% is for the last week of flowering 😊✌️🏼

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.Leaves. Other

Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?a year ago

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).Leaves. Other

Stains on the plantHey guys,
first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this. I started growing my first canopy and since I am little excited, I started before everything I ordered arrived. For that reason, I am still using the soil I used while planting the seed. Did I fuck up already?Leaves. Other

Insects, Mutation or related to my early nutrient burn ?Hey I noticed that one leave is looking like it has been eaten by something.. I checked every plant and also used yellow stickers, but can’t seem to find anything.
Is this related to insects or could it be something else ? (The plant had an early nutrient burn, but recovered)Leaves. Other

Brown spots on top leaves - nutrients, light or something else?She went into flower, now stretching. Set light to 100%, added Bio-Bizz Top-Max and Bio-Bloom (1ml/L each).
3 days later brown spots appeared on top fan leaves, very few also on lower fan leaves.
I suspect this could be light burn or nutrient related.
Any ideas? Pls help9 months ago
