    Yea as u can see from the pics i threw the lst strings back on. Right after i posted that, i kinda realized i was being impatient. Thanks for the help NS and jig, and for future help you are going to give me. The only real confusion i have right now is when to switch to 12/12 lighting. I...

    My First Grow: DWC (open thread)

    So today i had to make a move, but i think it was for the best. I moved all my things into the bomb shelter i have in my house. Cement walls and ceiling keep it much cooler. I removed the tent and just have it in sitting in the room. Kinda want some input on this for reflective light and all...

    Just some more pics. I took down the lst lines from the left plant because it hasnt been growing as fast, and it didnt seem to be helping. Plus i kinda want to see if there are any differences in each plant from the lst or not. I also added the other lamp. So im running both the hps and mh...

    So far just letting the plants grow right now. The one on the left isnt growing as fast as the one on the right. Im not sure why, probably because the roots didnt develop as fast. I feel pretty good about them both right now tho. THey both look amazing for only having them 1 week. Im really...

    My First Grow: DWC (open thread)

    I am using the metal halide right now. I made another thread about using both lights, and the consensus was that i should use both lights when i switch to 12/12 and start the flowering process. Do any of you guys have any input on that? Should i use both lights right now? or just the mh?

    My First Grow: DWC (open thread)

    Yea i agree. I probably should just make sure that i get through this first grow, and learn as much as i can before adding more variables that could change the grow.

    Yea from what the co2 calculator said, on average you would run the tank for 2.88 minutes every 3 or 4 hours. Thats like 15-20 minutes a day. So 43 hours would last quite some time. Jig do you believe it would be worth it to do this? I can make the investment in a regulator if it really will...

    My First Grow: DWC (open thread)

    So im not sure about everyone else who is doing a dwc but today after about 4 1/2 days my pH was finally at 6.5-7. I decided to change the whole res and add more nuts. I changed the nuts to the veg cycle per GH's formula 3-2-1. Temps are still at 79 and the humidity changes from 40-60...

    So after getting the clones from the club and putting them into the dwc, they started to droop all the way to box. Figured its just from the move and i was right. Today they are back up and already growing! Im shocked! Its amazing how you can truly see progress after 24 hours. The temp has...

    Actually the main question i have for you is about LST. I just read your post about how you were thinking about not doing LST on your next grow. I mean i have a 2 plants and a decent size box i want to fill. Since it is my first time would you recommend just letting them grow as is? or try the LST?
