Yup, this is normal. Depending on the strain they can double, triple, or even quadruple (if a lot of sativa) in size at the beginning of flowering. My stunted plants didn't grow hardly at all in flowering, though, so I'm not surprised yours didn't either. Let me know how it goes, cuz in my...

I just found a statistical analysis of over 100 grows, and different fertilizers weren't different enough to make much difference. General Hydroponics showed a slight benefit, however. (But of course, this study was hardly comprehensive. Still, I'm gonna try GH next.) It sounds like you...

The pots are a little small for big plants, but building your own tray lets you use any size pot. I heard you shouldn't use one smartvalve for too many pots, though, cuz then it will be opening and closing too frequently and wear out the valves. The pot's probably fine for SOG, but not giant...

I have one. I like it. No electricity, so you can go away for a few days. No recirculation, so you don't have to check the pH and EC all the time. No drain to waste either, so it saves water and nutrients. I did some research, and the oxygen getting to the roots might not be as much as in...

An inch a day is very possible. Even more can happen. When plants start growing this fast, it means they're done with the root formation stage and have begun vegetative growth. I figure, with good growth like that, it's an indicator that all is well. If you don't get good growth like that, then...

Cut off leaves when they get 50% damaged. I'd leave curled leaves on, cuz they're still nice and green, but what do I know? I'm a first time grower too! My theory is that if they're less than 50% damaged, they're still doing the plant some good, and if the plant turns around, the leaves may heal...

I recently added a humidifier, but before, humidity was actually very low, like 20-30%. The soil is Miracle Grow and seemed to have good drainage, but given that it's been well over a week now, it might not. Looks like I'll have to poke some holes and get better soil next time. Thanks for all...

I keep reading about flushing and watering so some comes out the bottom, but my friend who's been growing for ten years was adamant that if I watered his plants like that, I'd kill 'em. They were in 5-gallon pots and in flowering, sick from over-fert, but he was very sure flushing would...

Another problem with my big pots I noticed today was that the top would be dry, but the bottom still very wet. This means some upper roots might be underwatered, but if I water, the bottom may get overwatered. Hempluvr, how do you avoid this problem and the other problems I describe in my first...

I'm growing in soil (first timer, first harvest a few weeks away), and I read that people are transplanting only once, going from a seed/clone starter pot (or rootcube, etc.) direct to the big 2, 3, or 5-gallon pot that the plant will be in for the rest of its life. I did this, but I think it...
