i was thinking calcium deficient, but that looks like little blotches.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP



I got ph up and ph down from my local pet supply company. It says its for fresh water aquarium. Is this the stuff I should use to adjust the ph in my water? or is there a specific type just for plants?
I have a real problem with all 6 plants and need your help, please someone help!!!

MAX
ive used this one from my pet store, both up & down, w/ no probs, its just not as strong as horticulture ph up/down, so it takes more to get the right ph, but its safe

Going to start my 2nd run this weekend I believe, that seems to give me a bit of a theraputic effect....the gardening aspect that is.
i feel ya, caring for my plants is relaxing to me too. i think im gonna start 2 grows, a 12/12 from seed w/ kine bud seeds, & a reg grow w/ another strain, dny which strain.

i think u can go to as pawn shop & get a cpu & gut it, pop 2 fans in there w/ a light fixture, & youll save 300-400$. but if thats what u like then go for it, but i dont think u can grow more than 1 mj plant @ a time b/c of space limitations, + the exuast fan is really in the wrong location, & the intake fan has blue lights on it which wont be good when u shitch to 12/12, b/c u need complete darkness for 12hrs, & even those little blue leds can effect this dark period, otherwise its a nice kit.

Glad to hear it helps you out too!! Although my problems typically pale in comparison to yours, it's amazimg the various positive effects growing then using MJ has for different people. Anyone who says there isn't medicinal value to it is just plain crazy!!

someone get back to me asap, thank you very much
no, youll burn up the fans & house.

yes any type of charger for phones, mp3 playes, etc are dc power supplies, u need something like this http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search, & yes u can run 2 fans off 1 dc supply if the fans mA doesnt exceed the dc mA output. the one in link is 500mA, so as long as the fans arnt rated over .25a each it will work, if the fans r rated over .25a, youll need a 600mA supply. heres another http://cgi.ebay.com/Eflite-AC-to-12D...2em118Q2el1247.
most cell phone chargers are only 5-7v, which will work, but the fans wont run full speed. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search
