I personally think CaliMagic is the shit. I HAVE to use it or I'm guaranteed calcium, and mag deficiencies.
Well clean that fucker up man, I can't wait to see it!
nice setup, is your tent a 4x8 as well? not sure if you are planning on running that footprint through out but if not i would suggest spreading out your sites as well as your lights. i use a 4x8 space with x2 1ks and used to use the cap ebb & grow 12 site (2 gal) and did well, i have since switched to a titan flo and grow (4 gal) and vegging much longer and only growing 8 under the 1k's. the system you are running appears to be a waterfarm which is a great system but meant to house much larger plants than what you are going to be doing with 12 in that space.
I'm logging everything!
The titan is what I plan to upgrade to. Looks like a sweet kit. I went water farm because I picked up two kits for a car stereo amplifier that I hadn't used in almost 3 years.
No way for root rot. I know that shit when I see it. Nothing but bright white massive healthy roots in my shit. The smell was of chlorophyll, really green. Almost burnt your nose. Weird, but it hasn't happened again so no worries, Just odd. I'll be running two, or three Reservoir for the perpetual.
I'm only running filterless for now. I'll definitely get a scrubber up there when they get stinky. Currently they have no real smell. This strain doesn't really stink until the last month. I keep the exhaust fan toward the top of the tent to take out hot air, and kool the lights. I've also got another 6 inch fan that draws air from the outside into the tent. They are both set on a digital thermostat that kicks on at 78F and cut's off at 74. It can control both a heater, and air conditioner at the same time and keep the temperature in the tent as tight as 1 degree F. I've also got a digital Humidity controller that powers an ultrasonic humidifier(will also run a dehumidifier), that's probably what you were seeing. The humidity drops when I open the tent. It turns on at 45% RH, and cuts off at 55% RH so the tent is always within those parameters. Both have 15 amp switches so I can run dehumidifiers, and AC units also without a problem. I had to wire them myself, but it cost me less than half what a hydro shop would charge.Wait a second, Taviddude, do you vent from the room, through the hoods and outside of the tent? Will you be putting a carbon air filter in that tent? If not, the smell will simply be ejected through the ducting and outside of your room. Gonna stink outside some day lol
Also, if your running filterless, why not draw in outside air to run through those lights?
Just curious, no suggestions, just wondering what the method to your madness is
Also, what is that digital red 32?
LOL, just wait until you compare your "eyeball" to what the ph is when you use the pen. My eyeball was 6.5 on 6.0 color. Pretty significant difference when playing in water. When you only have a 5.5-6.1 bracket, just that slight eyeball error will change things up big time.Thanks a lot Tony.
The girls are coming along great. They just keep begging for more feed. Up until now they've been babies about feed, but now they're just gobbling it up.
I broke the bulb on my NEW ph meter somehow, so I'm running the drops for now. They TOTALLY SUCK. I don't know how anyone could use em. Maybe for soil, but not hydro.
The color looks different under different lighting, and don't even closely match the colors on the chart. Pretty much flying blind, but the new probe for my Hanna should be here the day after tomorrow. I'm going to go ahead and order another probe for the PH55 too so I've always got a backup.
Plants are REALLY filling in. I was worried about having bare spots, but I'm pretty sure that will not happen. I'm going to have at LEAST 1/3 more bud sites than last grow. I'm not totally sure how it'll play out. Maybe I won't get as many huge colas, and more medium size colas, idk. Be interesting to see how it plays out.
Either way, I'm sure it's coing to be a MASSIVE carpet of Buds
Pics Tomarrow.
Peace.
