Thanks for all your threads...tons of great info. I was wondering how long you take to complete a rain on one plant? Do you actually ph down to mimic rain water?

Just made it rain for the first time in the 5 gallon buckets this last monday, it took about 2 hours and yes I ph all of the water down as that is what makes it work :)
 
its been raining alot where i live. i have a big cooler outside catching all that rain water. i tested the ph of it yesterday and i got a 6.0. riddle,i was trying to drp the p.h .5 more to get it 5.5 cuz im starting rockwool.i literally only added a drop to the wholeeee cooler, and the ph droped down to 4.0 or lower.its turns red fast after i add my ph test drop's.how do i lower the p.h? i love making it rain. I preety much only use rain water even when germinating my seeds.

The PH of collected rain water will change as it sits, be sure and test it everytime before using. I use Apple Cider Vinegar to lower PH
 
Riddle, which do you prefer, soil or soilless medium? What are some of the pros and cons of each? Just bit the bullet and ordered a 400watt CMH system and will be following in your footsteps. If anybody is looking for a good online hydro shop, check out thehydrosource.com. It's an eBay store with an extensive catalogue and pricing/shipping is rock bottom. Enjoying the show man, learned alot in your threads.

so when you make it rain and then you feed them do you add nutes 1/4 to all the water till it runs out?

Just fed em last night after making it rain on monday, they are up to full strength nutes and when I feed I just go a slight run off

I start with 1/4 strength nutes and work my way up, reading the plants needs as I go

I am loving the SunShine Mix, total contol with no worries so far, soil can cause issues over time, I will not be going back. Though I still like soil for nurturing seedlings.
 
Hey brother, thing's looking well as always, Been busy myself and haven't been around in a couple days. You know I'm here when I can be.

Peace

so is 16/8 the lowest you go before 12/12? or in these two week will you be going to 15.45/8.15, 15.30/8.30, etc...?

Do you have any ideas on maximizing yield potential with 90 plants in DWC in one room? Perpetual.

everything I do is about growing healthy plants and maximizing yields, but I do not do hydro, some hydro guys have learned things however by reading my threads
 
Well RMH, I guess you lose your bet, as I was right #2 & #3 are girls, both showing preflowers, still pretty sure #1 is the boy though he is not showing yet

pic's so you can see

You'll love the update tomorrow they grew another 3 inches up to 18 now

Yours look to love the transplanting. In honor of you.
Here's Mini Matilda before I harvested her. I named the gnome Rumple Resinskin. Couple CFL's and cheap nutes.

Here's two 19 days into flowering. I love these CMH. This 150W is doing great. These 2 go to 300W HPS to finish. The node spacing is noticeably closer here and under my 400W Veg area. Thanks again for showing me these. My 70W in a PC is gonna do great too.
