hi, this is my first grow and both my first 2 plants have problems. the first is a deformed plant, and has brown blotches on the leaves, and the second is a seedling which at one point fell over and wasnt noticed till morning. it seemed to have pulled thru but today a grey type of fungus has sprung up on the outer part of the first nettle leaves. also the leaves have curled up. im not sure if its fungus r what as i have no experience with growing there under a 400 hps at 24inches, in a room 3x3x7. humid is at 55 and temp 80-88f. just being fed water, altho i did flush soil 1 with 1/4 strength nutrient. ph is 6.5 for soil and 5.8-6.0 with rockwool. any help wud be greatly apprecieated. thanks

Rockwool is bullshit.

Ive never had good luck with it, and as I understand more about it, i've learned its not worth useing. I myself germ in pro mix, but thats also my end medium.

find a way to not use rockwool.

never had any problems with rockwool... 95% success with clones and 100% with seed germination..

I know you use it but you are a rare exception in my mind....I hate that crap. The Ph is always drifting around the rootball and it alway's stores nutrients that throw off something and then there's trouble and something goes wrong.

How goes the grow anyway dude?


People this guy has a DVD he sells that has a lot of information you should know. Seeing information from the boards on TV and how it works in the end is better then a book.

[arthurjob]

I too use pro-mix and i intend to use it thru out the entire grow.

Marlboroman, is that what you are doing...from seed to flower?

About the stem. Mine seem to always turn red and change later. So I dunno if it's supposed to happen or what but it seems to be fine.
