dude legit fucking setup! what is the co2 tank connected to?/How does it distribute the carbon dioxde?
Well, I meassured my run off and sure thing my ph was 6.8 this morning, so obviously I measured my res right away and it was at 5.6 and then I realized my fuck up 
Last week I added a layer of rockwool, so my feed water would not run through so quickly, I even soaked it in ph'd water, but I have to admit I only soaked it for about 6 hours. It has to be the rockwool, there is nothing else in between.
So I ran 15 gallons of ph'd water through, at the end the difference was only about .2
I mixed me up my new nutes added some 'Sweet' to help em a bit and hopefully it will correct my problem.
It's interesting when you 'drain to waste' you become more aware where something goes wrong along the way.

In case people want to know my opinion on the cap ppm3, IT SUCKS! at least for me.
The thing freezes up all the time, I talked to several people online as well as people I know, all of the ones I talked to had similar problems
For now I set my co2 on a constant value, hopefully I can upgrade to a better brand

Thanks RU and Snoop for stoping in 
Man I'm bummed out, my grow is not starting out good
First my clones were fucked up with bugs, then I had ph problems with rockwool, now I have a significant deficiency with 3 of the four plants and a burn on the fourth, which I thought at first came from a ph lookout but then I talked to my bud last night, he is growing the same nutes and sure thing, he has got the deficiencies too. Today I noticed that my PH meter was off a whole point even though I calibrated it last week...
I still think that the ph issue contributed in a large way to the severity of the deficiency, but I also think there is something up with my nutes.
So, I calibrated my meter (again, and will do so every few days now)
I added some cal-mag for the RO water, some Nuts in order to help with micro-element uptake and some Sweet (just cause it smells good,lol), it supports other functions.
New growth seems to be looking better.
Any advise? I'll get some pics up in a little while.
Environment is currently:
co2 1500ppm sealed for 12 hours
83-85 degrees
60% humidity
13" from 600W
Extraction during lights out

You already flowerin those? sorry if the question has been previously answered im baked. The new growth I see looks good, new growth is key. You making sure to dump your waste res every night? What kind of pump are you using? Man im freaking excited for these girls, LA Confi is freaking bomb shit!
Yeah, the AK47's reached 10" and looked the best, so I decided to fokus on them
. If the LA Conf and the Bubba catch up, good! If not, so be it
The PH of my runoff is starting to come down, 5.9, I hope I caught it on time.
Yield will certainly suffer since the la and the bubba were so small, but I do not need a lot to hold me over till the next adventure,lol.
Unity
AK47's started to flower yesterday, they are 12" tall now and looking a lot better!
LA confi, caught up to the AK's with less internoods, but looking healthy.
The Bubba Kush will be my first midget bud,lol, I didn't think it was going to survive the aphid attack, but looks now like it is going to pull through.
Environment is steady at:
85 degrees lights on, 75 lights out.
1550 ppm co2 during lights on
70 degrees res.
humidity 55 %
Food: The House and Garden Aqua flakes formula was nor sufficient for my plants, I supplemented with Cal-mag, sweet (both kinds) and NUTS

nice room! Nice plants!
Iam planning on trying pebbles for my 1st flood and drain. (tried everyting else aero, dwc, drip)
How often do you water them and for wha 15 mins?
dont forget to put some mylar squares over those pebbles or panda film cos light hittin it is creatin that algae green growths.

Nah mate, I do not flood them. I run 'drip to waste' with a cycle timer, 40sec. every 90 min. F'd it already up once with the dam rock-wool I had to add, which messed up my ph in a big way for over a week.
I'm considering Canna Substra for hard water, any thoughts?
Aqua flakes don't cut it for me, serious n def. at 1.2 EC
For now I'm supplementing with Cal-Mag, Sweet, Nuts and Boost. they are doing great again
I think I'm ok on the pebbles, Rockwool is what you would want to cover. Could be wrong though, I'll keep an eye on it, thanks!

3 days since first pistils showed
They are pushing and I still feel like they are not getting enough food
I'm thinking of switching them to Canna Substra Hard today. Don't know how they will handle the switch
The roots are snow-white, I'm stocked about that as well as there is no signs of the f'n root aphids
Environment:
Air temps: 81-83
Water temp: 71
Humidity 50-65%
Base nutes: 1.2 EC with additives 1.8 EC
Co2: 1500ppm
They grew a lot in the last few days, hungry little ....
They are also starting to form nice bud-sites

No burn yet , looks like they are taking the change to tap water and Canna Substra rather well I'll know for sure in the next view days.
It's been 4 days since first pistils and they are already making litt'l buds
The Bubba will be the runt for sure, I'm kind a interested in seeing what happens when a little plant like that gets flowered.
Check out the pics, it's always amazing when they start to pull.
