SOrry to hear about the problems. I'm sure you can handle hydro, 1st run is always a little messed up. Good luck with this batch.

Is there any difference in the plants grown under the magnums or the ss2's? Quality of the buds look the same? You think the yield would be more if you were running all magnum reflectors?

Someone on here had a similar setup and his plants under the magnums grew taller then under the ss2's. I'm not sure if it was you.

Jack, what type of sensor are you utilizing with the Gen2E?I know you have the setup to adjust to the change,but is there a big temp spike with it?

why did ya ditch the hydrogen co2 gen?
It Would not stay lit,And I would need to run it two ways to keep water temps down run to waist hooked up to city water or hook it up off a pool or a very large rez...

Its basicly like adding another 1000 watt lamp in the heat depart ment .When the lights come on it runs for about 5 minutes then after that every 30 minutes it comes on for 30 seconds..
man what a great setup and some nice strains
Thanks...bongsmilie

So you don't utilize a sensor it's on a cycle timer correct?

all and all, are you happy with the chill king?

how was the shipping? who you buy it through? i guess i should PM you

No its on a sentinel controller set at 1500 ppm when it drops below it fires up the co2 ..bongsmilieburner...http://www.hydroponics.net/i/133932

I believe Riznob's already had some issues with his new setup.https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/230302-10-000-watt-grow.html
This is one of three grow threads I've read where the water cooled CO2 generator had issues.

looking awesome man.

OldFrog had some trellis action going like that... i think he ends up using 3 trellis levels in all - stacked one on top of the other.

don't give up on the hydro bro ... once it clicks you'll shite bricks over how easy it is. you walk into the room, make sure all your lamps are still lit, look at the display showing ur pH and ur ppm and adjust those if needed. that's it. done deal. :D

biggest thing for me was learning that you have to almost completely drain the rez every 2-3 weeks or you can get a deficiency even though ur ppm's and pH are alright, but running drain-to-waiste as you are, that's one thing you'll never have to worry about.

Yep im not going to give up yet..This is the first week I have not had any issue's with the hydro I finally feel like I worked every thing out...I did notice that I was using way more co2 then normal so I took my Sentinal controler out side to calibrate and when I turned it on it read 9 ppm should of read 350 to 380 so I hit calibrate waited for it to do its thing stuck it back in ther room and what do you know it read 2000 ppm..:roll: It was way off the plants seem much happier at 1200 ppm I will bump it up to 1500 ppm next week and keep it that way until week 6 where when I star bring it back down...bongsmilie JACK...
