New Growth Yellows in my Hydro Hut?

[MynameStitch]

vinyl off gassing does stop, I am pretty sure of that; it takes time though; air has to readily be around it so it will stop giving off the gas, has to have good air flow going to it.

I would wipe it down, but it's not going to fix the problem. Now unless you got a pressure washer, use car soap on it and let it sit out in the air lol.

Washing it does help the smell go away, but it does not make it go away all at once, this has to be done over time.

thinking now since im wanting to scale down anyways is to just buy one of those nice cabnets from home depot. big enought for a small hydro app and a few pots of soil, this is a huge hassel.

Even if one is even able to 'clean' the vinyl enough to be able to grow, semi-successfully.....

There will still be molecules floating around in there, and still not good for the ganja...

This is a buncho crappola... I guess my NEW 4 X 8 will sit in the box for eternity, I will not use it. Why grow organic, just to have vinyl atoms floating all around...?

No replacement will pacify me.

Amerika, land of Buyer beware.

No fix

No fix

My tent was airing out for six months. It still kills plants with either pole after both tent and pole have been washed. No solution, I was admitted by the owner that both the poles and tents have been showing problems. PM me and anyone having this problem I have a great solution, but out of respect for HH great customer service I will not post it here so it is not exploited. The owner is an honest good guy.

*edited to say - NO GREAT SOLUTION

The owner is an honest good guy.

And,

I am sure trying like crazy to solve this nightmare and make his customers happy

This is a blip in Hydro Huts history and long future ... However, it does suck for everyone effected

Head up, and stay in touch with Hydro Hut Customer Service - there will be a fix .. and then its onward and forward

Incidentally - Forgetting the fact that Hydro Hut was first to think of, make and market these huts, and that others have very pretty much copied his product and tried to squash them ... Fact is, as Resina pointed out

" I can tell you now that if something is wrong with HydroHut plastic then it has to be wrong with the plastic from its competitors as well " Resina

Plastic is made, and comes from the same supplier

To Icy, not every hut problematic, unless and until you take yours out of the box, set it up, and test it - you will never know if your new 4x8 is affected. Stay in touch with HH Customer Service

just got an email with a tracking number for the new hut.. very good customer service, im hoping hh stays in business for a long time.

endo

in retrospect i should have thought of downsizing anyways.. and asked for the incredibly small hydrohut.. oh well... kudos... to them anyways.. for being so helpful about the whole ordeal.

just got a whole new hut 2 days ago.not sure if i want to put it together or not.been buying more stuff to see if i can find a way to keep airflow better in old one.maybe it will help the gassing problem if thats what it is.if anything i now have a storage hut for the basemant if that what it come down to.

just like to give the people at HH a thank you for sending a replacement hut.they didn't have to send anything but did.goes to show me they are at least trying to right a possible wrong with the product i purchased from them.

still looking for a solution to the hut problem.will keep lurking the forums in hope

you guys speak of replacements...?? I've yet to receive an email in reply to my inquisition made over a week ago?? Where exactly are you sending your emails to HH??

Here is the owners reccomendation to me about hydrohuts when asked if I could be sure the new poles were an actual fix for the problem.

"No, you cannot be sure. We started looking at the poles because of what we were told by the plastics mfr. It looks like they might not be telling the truth. If not, the poles aren't the problem. However, things were observed with the poles that caused concern as well.

This is not a purposely vague answer. We are nearing the end of a very long road of looking and sifting through info and lies. I do not want you to put your money on the line again."

I responded:

"Check it out. If this kills my plants again, I want my money back for putting it on the line in the first place. I will be holding you directly responsible for my refund if needed. It looks as though they are doing better with the new poles, though I guess time will tell. What is the possible issue with the plastic? What was the issue with the poles? You should be updating the hydrohut website with this very important information if you value your customers as it seems you do."

To which he wrote:

"We aren't doing any updating until we know exactly what is going on. Any updates that I have done have only confused matters more. Getting your money back was always an option."

At this point I sent my information for a refund, asked if I needed to return the hut, and recieved this email.

"I have no problem with you returning the Hut but you will have to return it to where you purchased it. They will credit you, Hydrofarm will credit them and I will credit Hydrofarm. This is how is must work.

I am sorry for the problem, truly."

Hopefully my shop sees things the same way. I'll let eveyone know, I wonder if Hydrofarm has notifide its retailers.

In conclusion, although he does seem to be an honest and straightforward fellow, he has no solution for the HH problems, nor does anyone else rendering HH atleast until they fix whatever is going on a product that is a complete waste of money that actually harms what it is intended to help. Maybe they had quality products before, but by the owners admission a hut is now a risk of your money he would not have you take.

again.....I'll ask....I see numerous 'newer' folks citing all these 'emails' from 'the owner' where the hell are u people emailing to??

do you have a direct link to the pres email??? hope so, because I'm asking for that source....

just find it funny I can't get a response and all these newer cats are getting replacements, and responses...

I do not know if they have replacements that aren't poisonous. The replacements were sent for 4x8 because of a size change and 2x4 because they ran out so they sent 3x3's I think. Everything else they were sending new poles, although I am sure they stopped since it was not a fix. My friend has been waiting 3 weeks for a replacement 2x4 poles and 2 full 4x8 replacements. He has not recieved them and doesn't expect to based on his correspondence.

[email protected] <[email protected]>my 3x3 replacement should be here by the 9th. i had a 2x4 and he didnt have that to send me so he sent the 3x3.

the same thing happened to me, i emailed HH and they sent me a whole new hut with white poles, havent tried it out yet.. will let you know..
below is the course my plants went through, i got 2 as clone and 1 from seed
I raised the clones for 2 moths and i assure you they were perfect before going in the hut

javascript:void(0)

PIC-0022


notice how plants start showing signs of mg or fe deficiency.. yellowing only occurs on new growth... older growth is healthy? note, these plants were totally healthy before going into the hut. no conditions changed but the hut and hps

That was about 2 weeks ago and I have yet to set up the new hut, the plants are in a different "recovery" room under 3 cfl's and watered with p.h. 5.7 water for about a week to eliminate every possibility of nutrient lock-up if that's the case and not the hut.
^^
One problem i had with the hut was ventilation, ii was drying out the rockwool very fast and I dont think the plants had enough time to absorb the nutrients before drying out... that's why i flushed it.

below are pictures of when i first started noticing problems to now.
the plants are doing fine and have grown 2 inches since i took them out.

affected growth is still yellow and brown, i cut most of the leaves off to preserve the energy of the plants.




first signs of yellowing, about 3 days..




the next day or 2!!:
still in hut, the one on left was watered with reg nutrients, the one on the left was flushed with 5.7 pH water.




in the infirmary



2 days after that!!!!




Trimmed off all dead shit:



watered with regular water and a tiny bit of nutes for a week





















will post experiment pics of new hut... pray for me

I just rinsed my new Hut poles in warm, soapy water. I'm going to rinse the canvas with alcohol later as well. When I rinsed the poles, the same rust-colored goop was coming out. Hopefully these poles aren't bunk as well.

 

[Guest]

If the poles aren't the cause of the problem, I'm going to assume it's the plastic, and in that case... what about using the poles as a structure and using Panda Plastic instead? I hate this crap, especially when you invest all this time and money and now the process is 3 months off track.

I am going to try to return my old frame and hut to the store as I was directed by the owner. And the new white frame is getting covered in panda plastic. I will post pictures, not in this thread though. I will try to remember to shoot you a PM. Thanks HH for actually doing something beneficial for me.

For now I am just using the frame uncovered to test if it is toxic. It appears not. Finally I got a table of plants that aren't dying.

Way to overreact.

I suggest you go smoke something and calm down.
