Probably right there. I do make a point to wash my hands, and keep things clean; as much as possible. I also hit the plants with microbes after an up-potting.Very nice I don't get anything like that but I would have up potted before it got to that point. I'm surprised you have your hand on the roots.....I was always led to believe that's a no no transferring bugs from me to the roots. I've always tried to keep my mitts off the roots........a pain in the ass sometimes in transplanting gently but I've never grabbed a hold of the mass like that......I'm just paranoid I guess.
It's because you're so good at this whole growing thing I was just startled by it.....I'd just assumed you be a sterile nutProbably right there. I do make a point to wash my hands, and keep things clean; as much as possible. I also hit the plants with microbes after an uppotting.
Looks mostly like calcium and nitrogen deficiency from where I stand. Looks like humidity levels might be a challenge; what's the RH and temps been like?I’m going into week 9 of flower and am getting brown spots on my upper flowers. Lower seem fine. Been flushing with water 6-6.5 ph. I also noticed today, water day, that my pot is still heavy. It’s always light on water day.
I would be; if I were in a different setting perhaps;, especially if I had some big grows to protect like bud; or some of the others... Cause I'm so small scale; and I'm working out of 600 sq foot area; living space + grow area, it makes it all one thing to some degree... there's no specific area in the house; wereas the grow room begins and the house ends. Besides the tent doors themselves.It's because you're so good at this whole growing thing I was just startled by it.....I'd just assumed you be a sterile nut.....I see a lot of growers very paranoid about bugs and their grows look like hospital rooms.......I grow in dirt...it gets everywhere. The guys here got me to stop using my scissors without torching them then washing them in alcohol.......I use my fingers to pinch tops now after dipping them in alcohol lol........
Oh shit man I didn't realize your cramped conditions,,,,,,I have lots & lots of space.....I don't have anymore electrical capacity though....An old house with a 100w service.....she's iffy adding anything electrical without unplugging something else....We don't microwave and toast at the same time or oven and use the dryer at the same time...I would be; if I were in a different setting perhaps;, especially if I had some big grows to protect like bud; or some of the others...

Just changed the light out in there.... which was a bit of an undertaking.That big fucker takes awhile to put together; and hand (8 bars) Took thy frying pans out...

Got a bigger meanwell powersupply coming for these. I do think they perform better; If I can get a driver that won't poop out.Samsung 301H for the win.

80* with80% humidity I live in Fla. I moved 1 plant outside about 3 weeks ago and it seems to be doing fine. Just taking longer to grow buds.Looks mostly like calcium and nitrogen deficiency from where I stand. Looks like humidity levels might be a challenge; what's the RH and temps been like?

Agreed; 1000 watt service is dicey; so always take care. Pig tails with power strips is a hugely bad idea for those kinds of outlets. You can easily destroy the wires in the walls.... Probably 15 amp max from any one source.Oh shit man I didn't realize your cramped conditions,,,,,,I have lots & lots of space.....I don't have anymore electrical capacity though....An old house with a 100w service.....she's iffy adding anything electrical without unplugging something else....We don't microwave and toast at the same time or oven and use the dryer at the same time...
One big reason dropping down to led lights will help my downstairs circuits I'm now flowering under 300w rather than 1000+w......
I bought another SE3000.... +300w and I still had room so I went berserk & put 200 w more on with red led side lights and I still have 200w to play with......like a kid with a $100 bill can't wait to spend it.....so much for savings...lol
Yea, well if you can do anything to keep air on it constantly; that should help with your humidity issues to some degree... 80% is mold-fest playground; I would be hitting those with streptomyces nigrescens or lactobacillus bigtime, or Streptococcus thermophilus.... Anything that might keep molds in check. ie. 2 tbs glycerin per gal H20, spray @pH >8->8.5 or some Purecrop180* with80% humidity I live in Fla.

I used to follow this advice.... But now I just rub hemp oils w/linalool into my skin and hair after bathing... Easier on the body; keeps the skin healthy; from drying out. It's also got antimicrobial and antifungal properties. In addition, linalool is used as an insecticide against fleas, fruit fly, or cockroaches...drink the alcohol first

It's also being studied as an anticancer/antitumor agent; would would guess..... Kills bacteria and molds + regulates tumor development..
I'm convinced some of the ancients knew a thing or two about keeping healthy despite challenging environment, things like petroleum jelly ect.... Or coal tar extract.
I was an electrician for 25 years I have a good handle on our service and I've done a few upgrades but I like fuses over breakers for safety...Fuses will always blow when over heated,,,,,,not so breakers...they will work 99% of the time but if you have multiple trips on the same breakers they can fail and not trip. Ground fault or arc fault breakers would definitely be safer but fuses I trust for overloads.Agreed; 1000 watt service is dicey; so always take care.

We've got old service too; but at least it's not the screw in type.I sometimes inspect the walls and sockets with my thermal imaging FLIR scope to make sure there's not too much heat being produced anywhere. Or just act like a general moron in pitch black darkeness.

Good to hear it from the expert; the internet is such a wonderful place, cause you always get bits of new information you never realized before. Makes perfect sense. I've got some electronics background; but it's not a whole lot. Mostly micro, computer builds, the light builds above make me nervous; cause they have large capacitors in them.... Basic wiring; I once installed a 200 amp main while it was live.I was an electrician for 25 years I have a good handle on our service and I've done a few upgrades but I like fuses over breakers for safety...Fuses will always blow when over heated,,,,,,not so breakers...they will work 99% of the time but if you have multiple trips on the same breakers they can fail and not trip.

Some shit can really fuck up your day.Electricity is one of those possibilities. Bold of ect..

Isn't it interesting that a bolt of lighting in Silicon (sand) and roots look almost identical?and both are transporters of ions. When electric gets in human flesh; it does something similar; and your nerves and veins are some of the best conductors

I 've been hit with 110/120v hundreds of times...220v....a bunch & 347v a few times.....I worked in the ship yards for years both wiring and working for the temp light and ventilation crew. supplying the trades with power,lighting, fans & ducting for ventilating the welding throughout the ships...hundreds of welders required a lot of ventilation and we always worked hot....can't shut off everything on the way overloaded circuits.Good to hear it from the expert; the internet is such a wonderful place, cause you always get bits of new information you never realized before.

Yea; pretty crazy stuff... I suppose if your suit is conductive; and your insulated enough; you can be used as a human fuse or something along those lines...I was watching the tube once a long time ago and they showed these guys servicing high powerlines from a helicopter out in the boonies. The chopper would get him close and he would stick out a lightning rod contraption and an Arc Would jump between it and the powerline. And then I would get on with their work. I think they said they wore suits that routed The electricity over and around their body and onto who knows where. It was a long time ago but the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.
