    400W MH/HPS LST Grow 2nd Timer!

    I am LSTING a few clones also... As my first grow ever. . I have a question. Once you LST are you supposed to keep it tied down forever or take it off at some point. Mine have been tied for 2 weeks and I plan to switch lights to 12/12 tomorrow

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    I'm using fox farm nutes. Have there complete product line. There big bloom is organic. I don't want to use hydroton on the bottom because I want to be able to move the plants if I have to. Is it really necessary to scrub it out or can I just cover it. Won't it die in a few days. My main...

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    I understand but my system is loosing water due to hydro fluid evaporation from the tray that doesn't drain completely.

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    Clear as a bell. I know I need to get that risidual water out if there. I was thinking about drilling a small hole which would just slowly drain the left over water but won't effect the flood because my pump is powerful. I have the pots out of the water but the roots are starting to sit in sone...

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    Interesting. Like I said this is my first grow so I'm learning daily. The brown tips are only on the older leaves the light is a lot closer to the new growth without any browning.

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    I just checked my PPM's they were about 780. I am running a 12 gallon reservoir. (45.42 liters). I was thinking about marking the reservoir and adding pure RO water to it daily to bring the water levels up but of course that would continuously dilute the ppm levels. I figured a little...

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    Hey guys. I've been concerned about this issue for a few days and I haven't really been able to find any info on the net about it. For my first grow I built a really nice DIY ebb & flow hydroponic system using 2 Rubbermaid tubs some fittings with a pump and timer. Works like a charm and the...

    Healthy Plant w/ Brown Dry Bent Up Leaf Tips (PICS)

    I just check the PPM a 730. I would have thought that was low considering they were completely rooted when I bought them. I'd like to flower them within the week,

    Wiring a 120v outlet from an existing dryer 240v?

    Possible yes but not as easy as you'd think... At minimum you'd have to replace the breaker on your panel from 220v to a 110v 15 amp single pole breaker. 220v circuits have 4 wires as opposed to 3 for 110v circuits. You would just use 3 of the 4 wires to connect to the breaker and panel. There...

    A Socal Attic Grow Done Right ?

    So. I know this has been discussed over and over but I'm still thinking about setting up a grow tent in my attic and running it at least most the year. I love in Socal and in the hot days my attic is at least 5-8 degrees warmer than outside. I mean it can easily reach upwards of 105 in there...

    Healthy Plant w/ Brown Dry Bent Up Leaf Tips (PICS)

    are you sure? Is it a MINOR burn? Should I lower ppm's? Guess that makes sense because the newer leaves don't show signs of the problem, maybe they are more tolerant.

    Healthy Plant w/ Brown Dry Bent Up Leaf Tips (PICS)

    This is my first grow under CFL lights (276 watts) and the plants are doing extremely well except there is one 1 issue I can't figure out. Some of the older leaves have brown dried tips that are curling upwards. Not all the leaves have it just the smaller older ones and a FEW newer ones, other...

    Grow Cabinet w/ 12 23W CFL Too Hot? How do these look?

    Can they get in the high 80's safely? I wish I had done a little research about the 23w bulb producing so much heat especially at 12x. My ph is around 6.1-6.2. Using RO water and fox farm nutrient. On their feeding schedule I went in the middle of their seedling and cutting and week 1 schedule...

    Newbie Ebb & Flow Question

    Hi guys. I am just getting ready to start my first grow ever. I decided on ebb & flow hydroponics. I have already built my tray and reservoir using some high quality reinforced plastic tubs. I've already tested them for strength and they seem to be holding up under the weight fine. The tray has...
