Hi guys, my system is all going well except my leaves are starting to curl over and dying a touch on a few of the ends they look they are clawing any help would be great thanks guys

What the people's preferred methods of starting from seed? There seems to be many ways and some of the are markedly different to others. One way I read recently (on here somewhere) had the seeds float on the surface of water and germinate that way. Thought that was a strange and interesting way. In the past I've ranged from straight into soil, to rockwool and to laying them in moist paper towel. I quite liked rockwool. But I'm interest what other people prefer and why. For example I can see that soil might be bad due to the presence of pathogens. Thanks!

Hi all just starting out again after a long hiatus and would like to ask you all your opinion on what mediums and nutrients I should start of with I used to use a recycling top drip system with rocks and canna nutrients but I now would like to hand water in a coco perlite mix under 600W Should I do a 50/50 coco perlite? Or is there something better out there And with all the different brands of nutrients out there whitch one is worth trying? I'm asking you guys because I have been to all the hydro shops in my area and none of them seem to really even give a shit. I think they must be getting enough money from commercial growers to not care about giving decent customer…

"Fermentation Baking soda/acid is a good system, but it is ultimately fairly expensive. Furthermore, you also release acetate ions/salts, as well as other volatiles from the vinegar (which is not a pure solution of acetic acid, of course). They prolly won't kill your plants, though they might. Instead they will likely make it smell or taste bad. What is a better way to get your carbon dioxide? Fermentation. Acquire some brewer's yeast if you can. The types of yeast you can use are in order of what is best, though all are acceptable: Champagne Wine Ale Beer Baker's Rig up a simple fermentation chamber with airlock.

hello, I've never grown before so plz excuse the ignorance but I was just wondering what's up with feminised seeds? Once you run out of them, do you just order more? Wouldn't you want to seed your own plants so you don't have to keep on take the risk thru the post again and again? What's the right tradeoff between losing quality by having males and/or just always buying new feminised seeds? With the extremely small scale grower in mind.

Hello again everyone, it's been a while between posts! I finally decided on buying a Growlush grow tent 1.95x1.95x2m. For lighting I went with one 600w hps and one 1000w mh lamp, I will use this for veg, then when flowering comes I will use 600w mh and 1000w hps. Ventilation will be carried out through a 6" centrifugal fan, which I plan on having outside the tent, connected with the 6" carbon filter, further ducting it directly outside. I haven't purchased a silencer yet, I wasn't sure how loud the fan would actually be, can anyone confirm thier effectiveness? I've got 6 feminized Pure Kush seeds germinating presently, the description along side them says that …
