I have been doing hydro since ecology in school and love it...my DWC is so much fun...I love the fact that KI had every issue and now have learned how to dial it in better and hopefully get good yields from my crops. Your set-up looks solid...let me know how you like the LED I use HPS for flowering and CFL for Veg would love to see how the LED works out. Heat and energy are always a great idea to adress.

It will be a great day when LED is affordable AND reliable. Until then check this thread out. The OP got whacked or something but his research and findings are solid for plant light spectrum needs and some interesting solutions. This is on my short list of projects this year.

they could be. stay on your ppm and your ph follows. stable ppm = stable ph. no ph 2x a day. more like 1 a resi change. no need for grow nutrients if you use a two part flower. keeping track of your feeding schedule through out growth will help dial you in. unless you like to randomly add shit to your resi without ever doing a change out and yield 2.5 oz under a 1000

hey guys good news and bad news. good news is that she is starting to show alternating nodes and a few hairs. the bad news is that I'm still having trouble keeping this girl satisfied! The new growth is coming out very thin and lighter green than the rest of the plant. I think it might be due to my fluctuating temps from day and night but I can't be sure. Still looks a hell of a lot better than it did when I first showed it to you guys haha! Thanks in advance for your suggestions and opinions on the matter

Signs of slight nitrogen overload. Otherwise she looks fine to me.
