Yeah, I got it. I'll throw up a couple of pics of my setup asap but I'm gonna have to put off starting a grow until I make a trip to visit my mother. I'm hoping to be there for her next chemo treatment and possibly stay with her for 2-3 weeks. But I have everything set and ready to rock when I return!

Sexing Tip

Increased PK tells the plants 'it's time' without changing the light cycle. I read this some time ago, and forgot all about it.

Once my current grow had sufficient leaf sets I automatically increased from 400 ppms to ~ 550, and within 7 days all 6 plants sexed. I'm like WTF?

As soon as I figured out what happened I lowered the ppms < 400 as I wanted a little more veg before sending to flower. They all reverted to veg. Later, when I was ready I did the same thing (no light change, though I veg under 14/10) sexing started again.

isnt ppms for hydro only, the only way i would know to measure ppms is water and runoff?

Even if you you are using nute enriched soil, by the time you want to sex, those nutes should be depleted.

Let's say the soil ppm started out ~ 400ppms. Assuming you have good root and plant growth, the ppms will be much lower.

By increasing ppms above 500 you should see sex within 7-10 days.

Hydro is so much easier to control. All you need is a TDS meter and pH meter (and an awareness of how/when to adjust).

Been havin heat problems but I mean it's been 106 outside 82 inside and then 88 peak at the end of a 12 hr. switched out to a 3000k flora sun 3000k 3000k . My roommate is getting a 12,000 btu portable ac for the livingeoom so hopefully when it hits my room it will drop maybe 6 degree.
