Yeah sorry buddy ..............switch it back to mechanical, digital timers still pass a trickle charge when OFF wreaking havoc on large CFL/PLL/T5-T8 with electric ballasts

If you have those old magnetic ballast T12-T8 shouldn't be a problem.....
word good to know buddy, thanks for the tip...definitely already switched back to my mechanical...i'll use the digital for the pumps when i'm away for a couple days as needed, its better for that anyhow...be easy brah,

WOW ok my multi meter actually measured amperes form my digital timer while it was off!!
Good call and Thanks very much For the heads up.Im on 24/0 cycle so got time to return and replace with mechanical.

Update on my ladies...
Had some leave twisting due to fact my clones were in flower because of the showroom lights being off 12 hours a day at the dispensery I bought them at. Just today show signs of going back into veg.Obvious leader in the bunch is the HazyOG followed by the BubbaUrkle,The gods gift is at a standstill(was told its finiky) and th SFV OG(sanfernandovalleyog) is havin gsome yellowing at bottom leaves but has lots of new growth at tops.
Thanks for the info.

The rock is just a study to see if it affects water dispersal and creates a fuller rootball compared to the others.I hand water carefully covering the soil evenly as possible anyway, so I really dont know.
Also whats a good way of dropping soil Ph??? Any links would be appreciated, TYBubbaUrkleDay11.jpeg <<<BubbaUrkle

Add some peat to the topsoil with the next watering bro. That'll help drop PH. And dolomite lime brings it up.

Thanks Sincerely420. I did push it lower with a few Lowered Ph waterings and the addition of a nice "Living Tea Brew" from local Hydro shop a few days ago dialed me in, I must say.The leave it alone method works well. I only train it to try and keep growth even and water it with a mild nute solution every few days. Im realizing that I have too many plants and not the light to bring them all to full potential,thus the need to veg for full cycle unnecessary. Im flipping to flower on day 21 of veg and going for a reduced yield in favor of the variety.GardenDay16.jpg

Haha I'm going for just that too! Flavor and variety. The flavor should come from the organic growing, and as far as the variety I'm current growing strains lol.

White Widow, Bubblelicious, Critical Jack, Blue Widow, and a bag seed! I'll have a staggered harvest to which will be NICE! I should be harvesting in a bout a month and half and again in another 2 and a half months :joint:

Dam those are some nice buds in those vids. Nice are no where near that size, those also look to be nearly ready though. I am running some pink bulbs like in the first vid as well. They seem to work well for flowering.

Looks great grower!....interesting theory using the rocks as a top dressing, personally don't like weighing down my medium(can't tell if it's getting dry by lifting the pot) but if it works for you go for it.

Keep your canopy EVEN and drop those t5 right on top of your bitches:) should have some good results from this.....I see you got a little "tacoing" on the leaves to the right--too close to a heat source????

be safe and happy growing

The rock topping idea was form a local grower who uses 10 gallon pots covered in pea gravel under a 600w hid.The tacoing is the bagseed plant Ive been abusing with nutes and tap water lol. And graab187 Im using T5s for the whole grow. Thanks for the tips PSUAGRO.

Whats up Club T5!
Been a while but I've had one successful grow finish up and produce some nice nug and even nicer hash all with T5 power of course....new grow is underway (check sig for journal link) and i'm having some trouble with getting my humididty above 30%. My outdoor humidity is 50-70 on average, my ventilation is pretty bangin (530 cfm fan venting a 4x2x6 tent into the roof through 6" semirigid ducting (stuff is badass). I'll be keeping my temps 72-76, but even a humidifier running 24/7 (both in the tent and in the room but outside the tent) doesn't make a difference at all...the only thing that has worked has been filling my catch tray with water and as it evaporates the humidity goes from 37% back down to 17%...anyone got any ideas? or just don't worry about it until after I transplant to their final homes? humidity is always the hardest thing for me to control! Anywho, the fluorogro evergreen T5s with fulham racehorses are as badass as the badboy, running 8/12 bulbs right now for veg but i'm gonna be throwing in the third unit at transplant (~10days) and then it'll be 12 bulbs of delicious t5 power thru finish. check me out if your interested!
be easy,
Dr.J

Everything looking good here. No issues as of yet.Day 7 of bloom cycle and the ladies are showing thier sex and stretching.Will be transplanting to 5 gallon buckets in 3 days to lessen rootbound stress and lower my need for nutes. I only have chemical nutes and after much study have decided to go organic from now on. Next pics should be of lil nuggs.

using two 4x4' T5s and FFOF soil,a 435cfm 6' hurricane exhaust fan and a phresh philter in a 10x10x8 room with a passive filtered intake
