Root rot is unlikely to go away without some form of treatment whether it be a sanitizing solution or beneficials. A good cannabis website like ICmag has the cumulative results of dozens if not hundreds of growers on different solutions if you don't mind sifting out the chaff.

Might as well grab any general gardening book, though they all suffer from the same issue re: one author, one opinion.   A forum requires leg work but gives a much wider scope, dozens of opinions are readily available. Niche methods of growing not mentioned in any book are covered from multiple...

Is that bundle of brown roots slimey?

Cut off a limb and look for discolouration of the tissue or a milky discharge when left in a glass of water.

A slurry test would confirm your math on the pour through pH testing, though I would wait a watering before mixing anything up.   If you're interested,   1:1 or 1:2 mixture of soil to distilled/RO water by weight or volume. Mix frequently over a 30 minute period, calibrate pH meter and test...

Hehehe.     Looks (keyword) like an adult root aphid (the twin tailpipes are distinctive) though a better pictures would be confirm/reject that theory. Proper ID is very important considering the harsh treatment potentially required.   Have yet to see that pest pop up on this forum but I may...

Transgender hose.

Coir most definitely can be overwatered, particularly after transplant. A wet dry cycle isn't needed, I generally call it the moist wet cycle. EC in the root zone will skyrocket as the salt to water ratio narrows, frying roots. The "can't be overwatered" myth is perpetuated by many. Hard to...

I agree with what you're saying. Government regulations are usually more of a knee jerk reaction than anything. I would assume this particular one will continue until someone challenges it in court (and rightly so). We have a lot of laws and bylaws up here that don't hold water, usually the...

Baby worms and eggs are separated to be returned to the pile.

I think it's related to operating pressure/temperature re: restrictions on wattage. There is a Double dPapillon fixture but it's just two 315's.   I don't believe Retro Whites are available any more (I did look quite thoroughly for my own needs but only found out of stock listings) and it was an...

Poison. Pick them off, burn them and thank me later.

RF was an issue but I believe most manufacturers provide some type of shielding now. There used to be a very simple way of using a radio to detect from a few hundred yards. There are many anecdotal claims of visits from cable men or the odd hobby radio operator, mostly in cases with over a dozen...

What are your requirements? re: spacing, cost, etc.

You'd think I'd have an opinion on this as someone who has taken guns as the result of a stroke. Then there's that whole opinionated ass hole thing. And so I do. Every stroke is different, from the type, location in the brain, severity of damage to recovery. In this particular situation it...

Broad mites are a completely different beast. The toxin injected at feeding distorts leaf growth and reduces the effectiveness of contact insecticides. The more successful solutions use wetting agents and/or horticultural oil for greater coverage and effect. Spider mites re:two spot can be...

Because it's an issue when using a fertilizing regime devoid of some essential nutrients?     Thank God for juanitos. My picture would have been insulting (intentionally this time).

Heat does destroy eggs from what I gather though the more prudent do multiple treatments. I've been lucky enough to dodge that one and have no experience.   How did you confirm broad mites, Heckle? Some what skeptical on the effectiveness of dishsoap when so many professionals and hobbyists...

If they're in pots heat treatment is proven effective. 120-130*F for 30 minutes minimum. No wind/air circulation, RH above 50 and plants should be freshly watered. I will mention I've only known this done with cannabis, every plant is different.   Might be a hassle unless you have a good heater...
