HOW TO PUT UP MYLAR

[wman44]

i used spray adhesive...

I stuck a 1" square of white Duct tape everywhere I put a staple, so it wouldn't tear ... just in case you didn't buy the Mylar yet: personally, I won't ever use Mylar again ... it dulls in time, losing its reflectivity, and is a real pain in the ass to keep clean ... I'm going back to flat white paint ... good luck :jointsmile:

Yesterday i flushed all my plants. The run off level's were between 6.1-6.3. I got them all to a ph level of 6.9, then i did a final flush of fox farms grow big. My tap water has a ph level of 6.7. So after flushing my plants with plain water i did a final flush with my nutes and got a ph level of 6.9. I aslo got clumsy and one of the plants fell over and lost some soil and probably hurt the roots really bad. I hope that one makes it. I'll post pics of what they all look like.

From what I have seen, and that is not the final word by far, plants seem pretty resiliant to spill and droppage. I'll be the first to admit I am almost haphazard when moving them around and I dropped one so bad the pot (plastic) cracked halfway down. I got some duct tape and taped the crack up, and put the spoil back in. She took care of me a few weeks later and was no worse for wear!

As for mylar, I prefer white paint myself, but the 1" square of duct tape is the good universal fix for ya. Also see if you can get safety blankets made of mylar, they are way cheaper than the rolls.

Its been two days since i flushed my plants and gave them a final flush of fox farms grow big. There has been some new growth finally in all my plants except for the one plant i dropped. The plant i topped has its new two main branchs now, and the the side shoots are spreading out. The plant that i'm LSTing has all the top leaves already up towards the light except for the lower branchs, i belive in a couple of days i should see more growth with the lower branchs. Can some one let me know if i should give them nutes next time i water which is today?.....Sorry still having problems with pics.

Go ahead and give them a feeding. If you are worried, feed only 1/2 what the bottle says. See how they respond to it.

Two of them seem to alot healthier so i'll give them a feeding at 1/2 strength and the other two at 1/4 strength i'll let you know how they do. TYVM:bigsmoke:
