Try to set a custom white balance setting when you take the photos if it is an available option. Set> white balance> custom> then take a picture of a white sheet of paper. tadaahh plants that look green.

1000w hps is in still gonna veg till end of jan. Tell me what you guys think. Temps are 75 still and was able too put light closer than I thought so that's good.
And screen holes are 1x2 chicken wire but I can snip out bigger holes if needed I think this will work.

One: I would defiately go 2x2 holes at least. You'll shred the shit out of your plans pulling them back under an pushing them through 1x2.

I bet you will flip in 10 days

hell yea man, looks good. cant u take that board out u got going down the middle of the screen for support? doesnt look like its necessary and just a lost of space u could be using for that middle one.

2x2 it will have to be I can see what you mean.
The screen was sagging pretty good in middle but I have another Idea on support. When I got this screen It just barely fit and some of it is not resting on wood. But ya it looks ugly also.
Ya I'm Thinking it will be pretty soon on the flip but in no hurry I want 2 see some alternating leaves before I do.

4x5 is what it is, I took out that wood in the middle it sagged some but will be fine.
Oh so hear this shit, My moisture meter went south, so went to get a new digital one and on the way home I opened it up and it wouldn't turn on so then I stop to get batteries thinking the ones in it were old nope still wouldn't turn on so I watered last night thinking they were dry and did finger check and gave a little lift too see and felt kinda light.
Well I think I overwatered them looking really droppy still at end of their day. Gonna go back and bust some heads with this moisture meter. :) Will post some pics tonight hopefully that is all that's wrong.

where did you buy the moisture meter.... and plese don't say home depot or lowes...... LIFT THE DAMN POT!! Then tell me if you need to water..... It's just my opinion... but I never use those moisture meters... as they're always wrong. I bought two different ones and they both sucked! You know I'm on my first grow and i'm new... but the best thing i learned was the weight of my pots after they're watered... and when they're dry.... then you don't have to rely on anyone/anything else.

Kiki, Earl May, I know about pot weight and when to water was doing great till screen but I can't lift them with screen above they are already touching, if I did that I would shred the fuck out of them and bust stems. And earlier before screen they were sucking water down like crazy and now must of slowed down about when I put screen down.

You and I are about to face the same problem, I'm not far behind you and I'm about to put down a screen; I'm worried about dealing with the run off of a nice healthy watering. After we can't move our buckets, what are you going to do with all the run off?

This little item
http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=8756
and a shop vac would be my ideal solution... one of these days I'll spring for that tray... and it might be sooner then later if I can't figure something out.

KiKi no prob girl its all good if I sounded mad i wasn't. But ya feeling your weight is key and a good rule of thumb for watering. Oh ya you wanted some white rhino pics the 5th and 6th pic is white rhino.

Ruiner, I was going to build a drain off for them but really though I fig. I don't water that much with 5gal and before when I watered with them if you are pouring that much in there too have a bunch off run off I fig. I am wasting nutes so I just water less and the little run off there is gets sucked up from bottom roots. Golden Ganja gave me some advice with these nutes Iam using and he didnt even flush or something like that I am kinda drunk and can't remem. but will go back on my PM's. Also I could put a drain in still I have the parts and tubing if I feel I need too or someone with more knowledge with this plea fell free.
Here's some pics not looking as droopy and the HPS pics suck.

MK-ultra is a growing son of a bitch I am glad I put her in the middle.

Oh and that bend in the duct hose will be gone tomm. _day off so lots of work and organizing too do.

Shit after reading about smart pots Iam fucking up right now and over watering big time gonna lay off and let them dry a little and when looking at pics again the leaves look sad and didn't before.
Those smart pots make sense cause they mimic a outdoor grow with the roots always having air too breath where plastic does not let air in. Good stuff def wish I would've went with those. Could I transplant now? Or too late, I think too late and let them ride what you guys/ladies think? Its not too late too lift screen out too only the MK is climbing out of it, and not by much at all.

Hi Organic, glad to see you are rockin it as usual. Yeah if you have the funds to grab smart pots, I would go with 3 gallon and transplant into the smart pots, you would have less water issues. You have to make sure they do not dry out. The roots suck up the water so fast and grow and grow so fast they eat like monsters.
