If you look at these girls closely, you'll notice on the left, the start of flowers ( I call them popcorn ) . But, the little girl on the right has none. They are all Chemdawg, all popped the same time , all the same nutrients etc. I haven't stressed them that I know of and there are no signs of Herming, No start of seed pods. 

Out of 5 plants , two of them have no popcorn yet. Should I worry ??

I been using General Hydroponics Flora Trio at half teaspoon per gallon in veg and the beginning of flower ....No bells and whistles...no extras. At this point in my grow I usually up my nutes . If the plant is pretty and healthy, is there a need to go up on my nutes ?? I'd rather not wait for a diffinchy to show up.

Hey Folks,

Is it possible for a seed to carry a disease or virus or does it have to contract something after it starts to develop ? I'm not saying this plant is diseased, but this is how it started as a young plant( the discoloration).And it died..... so did the 5 others that were with it. That has NEVER happened to me before. I mean ....these plants were beautiful , then it seams like over night they all died. I know I should have quarantined the one , but ....hind sight..you know.

Hey dudes and Dudettes ,

I been wondering about this for quite awhile. Everyone knows that the PH will rise when you aerate your water.... especially water with a low PPM . So  , I ph my bucket to 5.8 and turn the pump on ...Up goes the PH. I read that it actually raises the ph without adding any alkalinity . What does that mean ?? should I then lower the ph with ph down ? will it stabilize ?

Hey good people,

It's been awhile , but I'm getting back into DWC. My first plant , 8 years ago was DWC and I did really well after some research and cussing. My last grow ...in air pots was a total disaster , but that's a whole different story. I don't  know if its like riding a bike... you never forget ? Well I've forgotten alot . I'm germinating ( with tap root ) right in the bucket.I usually keep my res. temp at 68 degrees when it has roots... but what about a young plant trying to develop roots ? What about lighting ? CFLs or complete dark ? I added a very light dose of cal mag and 1/4 dose of micro,gro, and bloom. Should I stay with just water this early ? I have grown Super Skunk more than anything else but this grow I'm going with Chemdawg.     Any advice ? I know there's some DWCer's in here.
