🛠️ Real Solutions for Real Growing Problems
From Growers Who’ve Been There
At B DUBB GROWS, we’ve faced—and fixed—the same issues you’re dealing with. Here’s how to solve the most common problems that kill indoor grows.
🌿 Cannabis Growing Solutions
⚖️ Fix pH Problems (Most Common Issue)
Problem: Sick-looking plants, yellow leaves, stunted growth
Solution:
- Test pH daily with a calibrated digital meter (ditch the strips)
- Hydro: 5.5–6.5 pH, Soil: 6.0–7.0 pH
- Adjust with Bionova pH+ or pH- (start with 1ml/gal, test, adjust)
- If pH keeps drifting, check your water’s PPM—high PPM = unstable pH
🔥 Stop Nutrient Burn
Problem: Brown, crispy leaf tips
Solution: - Flush with plain pH’d water for 3 days
- Restart with half-strength nutrients
- With Nutri Forte A+B:
- Week 1–2: 0.5ml/L
- Week 3+: 1ml/L
- Always start low—you can add more, but you can’t take it back
🌸 Boost Flowering Production
Problem: Small, airy buds
Solution: - Switch to 12/12 lighting on schedule
- Week 3 of flower: Add PK 13-14 at 1ml/L
- Week 5–7: Increase to 1.5ml/L PK 13-14 + 0.5ml/L The Missing Link
- Keep humidity under 50% during flower to prevent mold
🥕 Vegetable Growing Solutions
🍅 Get Tomatoes to Actually Produce
Problem: Big plants, no fruit
Solution:
- Too much nitrogen = all leaves, no fruit
- Switch to bloom nutrients when flowers appear
- Hand pollinate indoors (use a small brush on flowers)
- Maintain temps: 70–75°F day, 60–65°F night
🥬 Stop Lettuce from Bolting
Problem: Lettuce goes to seed too fast
Solution: - Keep temps under 75°F (use fans if needed)
- Harvest outer leaves continuously
- Plant new seeds every 2 weeks
- Use cool white LEDs, not full spectrum
🌿 Make Herbs Actually Taste Good
Problem: Weak flavor, thin leaves
Solution: - Slightly stress plants—reduce water by 20% last week before harvest
- Use Bionova SiLution at 0.5ml/L to strengthen cell walls
- Pinch flowers immediately when they appear
- Harvest in the morning for strongest flavor
🧠 Universal Problem Solvers
🩺 Sick Plant Diagnosis Guide
- Yellow leaves from bottom up: Nitrogen deficiency → increase base nutrients
- Brown spots on leaves: Calcium deficiency → add Ca 15 at 1ml/L
- Purple stems: Phosphorus deficiency → add P 20 at 0.5ml/L
- Slow growth, dark leaves: pH too low → raise to proper range
- Wilting despite wet soil: Root rot → reduce watering, improve drainage
💧 Water Quality Fixes
Problem: Inconsistent results, pH keeps changing
Solution: - Start with RO water (GrowMax removes 95%+ contaminants)
- Target PPM:
- 400–600 for vegetables
- 800–1200 for cannabis
- No RO system? Let tap water sit 24 hrs to off-gas chlorine
- Always test water PPM before adding nutrients
🌡️ Environmental Control That Actually Works
Temperature Swings: - Use exhaust fans on timers, not 24/7
- Intake fan should move 25% more air than exhaust
- Lights-off temp should be 10°F cooler than lights-on
Humidity Problems: - Seedlings: 70%+ humidity → use humidity dome
- Flowering cannabis: Under 50% → use dehumidifier
- Vegetables: 60–70% throughout growth
