HELP: what is this?

[SmokedSinse12]

Well I doubt it's bugs too but I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a look around Lights are on 24 hours a day but I'll keep an eye on it and see if it gets bigger. So far it looks like it's just changing color.

Thanks for the help guys :thumbsup:

SmokedSinse12 Reviewed by SmokedSinse12 on 09-28-2008. HELP: what is this? I'm on day 8 and everything is going great except for a few problems. First, the setup -42w 6500k CFLs. I was using two bulbs with three plants under each but now I have three bulbs with two plants under each. -Half Fox Farms Ocean Fresh Half organic seed starter dirt and maybe 25% perlite -First 5 days or so I gave them about .5oz each of water every day. Now I'm giving them 2oz every 3 days. pH of the water is about 6.5 This first thing appeared a few days ago. It didn't get worse Rating: 5

One more thing you will get more dry product if you change your lighting to a 18 hour on and a 6 hour off cycle. This 24/0 light cycle is a common mistake that growers make when they are just learning, study the Krebs cycle if you want to know more about Y, or just do it and get more bud. :thumbsup:

Well, it's getting worse.

This is the second plant in my first post.





And now it's starting on another plant.




And another.



These are still doing ok but I'm sure they'll be the same soon.




This sucks.

Ok I was thinking about this and I realized that my problems began after I started using Top Fin pH Decrease for aquariums. Could this be the problem?

[SmokedSinse12]

the ingredients of it are Sodium bisulfate and water

Dunno, SS.
But lemon juice works OK as a PH down.
Hydro PH downer is usually Phosphoric and citric acids.

Notice that they still have tight shoes.
If you can't transplant immediately, at least cut the bottoms off those cups and "bog" them on some unamended soil. Rockwool, perlite, coco, etc.
I'm guessing that the roots have hit bottom and are coiled in an un-manageable stagnation

What's the PH of the runoff water?

Weeze

Ok well I've taken your advice and transplanted 5/6 plants. I Left one in it's original cup because I couldn't find a pot for it and I kind of wanted to leave one so I could compare it to the others. I bought some distilled water which I tested to be about 6.5 and used that to water. The one plant which was not transplanted I flushed with the same water using about 3x the volume of the container it is in. The runoff water was about ~6.5. Wednesday I will be getting some pH down from the hydro store near me.


Here's some pics. They were definitely ready to be transplanted.
