i have ph tester so we will give it a week and see
i wish you good luck. Veg is 18 on 6 off, for me. I feed mine Fox Farm Big Bloom, and now Fox Farm Big Grow.. Than Fox Farm Tiger Blooms in the end.. great system.. ph is good between 6.3-7.0 depending..I think distilled water is the best.. dont buy.. fill up gal. jug let it sit covered room temp for 24 hours. That distills it. Overwatering is a problem to.. I cant wait to see my girls..Bubba Kush.. cant wait.. one is my avatar. Good Luck! :jointsmile:

distilled water is made by boiling it.....water converts to steam/vapor and when it condenses it leaves out the impurities
simply leaving a jug of water uncovered won't distill it
Nope.Quote:

Here's a pic of a distillation apparatus.
You have to boil the water and then run it through a tube that has a chiller coil either built in, or wrapped around it.
Contact with the cold glass condenses the vapor back to liquid form.
As mineral impurities don't vaporize at 100'C, they are left behind in the original beaker and in the case of tap water will be visible as a calcium 'scale' when all the water is gone.
As for the original question, it's quite likely that you are pot-bound and you may have salt buildup in your soil. Flsuh well, transplant, and feed with a weak solution of grow fert.
i have already trans planted and i think i should of waited. Also i added a 100 watt metal halide . made it myself.
What did you make yourself? The ballast? The base? The bulb?:smokin:Quote:

About your "over watering" issue...what kind of soil are you using, and what have you done to aerate the soil? It sounds like it's staying way too soggy, so perhaps adding a 30-50% mix of perlite next time would do you some good. If the soil doesn't have time to dry out, your roots basically suffocate...and this, of course, will pretty much bring a halt to all growth.
Of course, it could be a number of other things (pH, nutrient lock, etc.). But, from what you've described, it almost sounds like your soil has the consistency of mud...which makes it very difficult for your roots to get any oxygen.
