Oct. 27 2009 11:30 am PH: 7.2 Temp: 79 F Hum: 52 LSD: 1 1/2 " AK: 1/2 " I just finished mixing and adding 1 ounce of 4.0 water (as close as I could tell using those strips) to each of my cubes, plan to do that in a few hours again. My plant's are still continuing to grow, but isn't a 1/4 " a...

That is a very good point Crazy, and eventually I do plan on getting a 2nd reservoir, but that's when I get some more cash, and isn't first on the list. As of yesterday, I decided I'm only going to be adjusting the PH in the morning and in the night. I'm going to mix and pour one ounce of 4.0...

Rose, I already mentioned that I forgot to soak my cubes before I put them in. I only soaked the 4 that now hold the clones, and they were soaked in 7.0 water. And currently the lowest my PH meter will go is 6.0 What I will do though, is use my crappy PH strips because at least they go down...

11:30 p.m Earlier when I added that 1 gallon of 6.0 water, I was pretty worried, thinking my plants might not handle that drastic change. So, I played the waiting game and decided to check again before I went to bed. The PH is back to 7.2, this was like 3 hours ago! and I added 1 gallon of...

Ya, I think that's a very good point Crazy, as of the last few days I have been rolling my "makeshift door" 3/4 of the way or so, this leaves about a 18 - 24 " opening where I believe the heat is escaping. I also plan to install very soon, either 2 computer sized fans, one for air in, one for...

The other day, when I went to the aquarium store, I saw one of those aquarium vacuums, and opted not to buy it. Instead I cut a perfectly good length of garden hose, and half to hold it down attached to my pump to pump out just a bit of water. I am planning to head out again tomorrow and...

I am officially amazed Dystop. It's like you read my dreams and built the ideal system. This is defiantly a thread I will be following, those ladies look beautiful! and I love the set up.

Oct. 26 2009 10:15 a.m PH: 7.6 Temp: 80 F Hum: 47 LSD: 1 1/4 " AK-48: 1/2 " As per Roseman's advice, I now am going to mix a gallon or so of 6.0 water, and pout about a ounce or so over my Rockwool cubes every 2 hrs or so. Hopefully this will help...

Yea, my tap water tests at 7.0 so I'm constantly adding PH down to it, to lower it to 6.0 - 6.8. I might give the R/O water a shot, next grow if I keep having problems. And yea NP, if I keep having these crazy PH fluxuations, I've already pretty much set up a night mid-week to drain and...

Yea, if you can see in the pic where I show the top of my room, I got a small oscillating fan, running all the time. (It's the purple thing, a bit hard to see) Also, I was thinking about buying like a ceiling bathroom fan, and installing it at the top, that way it would even be easy to put a...

permalink Oct. 26 6:30 p.m PH: 6.0 Temp: 84 F Hum: 50 I just recently finished draining out 1 gallon of water from the reservoir, and adding back in 1 gallon of 6.0 PH water. When I checked it, it was again close to 7.2. So lowering it by approximately 1.2 is quite a...

Hi Roseman, I posted as much detailed information as I could here "https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/261058-new-bubbleponic-grower-comments-advice.html" and in my grow journal. If you read that, it should give you a pretty detailed description of my set up and schedule so far. I am...

Hey guys, Last night I adjusted my PH (using my pinch and test method) to about 6.4 or so. Closed up my roll down door, and went to sleep. This morning I woke up, checked the PH (which was about 7.6 or so (it's still really hard to get exact reading with these drops)) and noticed that my...

Thank you both greatly for the speedy and informative replies. I'm sure that in no time, with help from all of you experts I will soon be a crafted grower myself. Thanks again, and please follow my grow journal to be updated

Dystopia I think you may have a valid point. At first when I got the system I didn't have anyway to test the ph, and I didn't know I had to soak the cubes. The latest 4 for the clones were pre soaked in 7.0 water. So then, if that is what is causing the fluxuations with my PH what is the best...

Hey guys, If you would like to see my specific layout, please refer to one of my previous posts. (I don't know how to link) or take a look at my grow journal. I have recently been trying to start 4 clones in my Bubbleponic system, and for some reason they don't want to develop roots. When we...

Thanks Homegrown Hairy, I will probably be ordering one of those PH tester's ASAP it looks like a good buy. Illegal, I will probably end up removing the hub and tubes once I have a established root system, from what I read that seems to be what all the buzz is. It's 9:30 a.m Sunday, and I...

This is a recent update to my post above. As I mentioned, I have been trying to lower the PH by approximately .3 - .5 every 6 - 12 hrs or so, until I get to a steady 5.8 - 6.2. When I sat down, and wrote my earlier post, I had just finished lowering the PH in my system using the method above...
