thats why you dont see helicopters in the air here until the hottest times of the day... the plants show up bright green on the radar... same as tomatoes... they have some of the highest plant temps... plus they absorb a lot more light than other plants... trust me ive used the equipment just...

undercover cop... nothing you just said makes sense... everything on the face of the planet has a specific heat signature this is basic science... the reason i know this is bc my family also farms and we are using thermal technology through our irrigation systems now to let us know when our...

yeaaa... so i live in the country in eastern united states and they do regular fly bys in my area... and its def based on heat signature... the way ppl are getting away with outdoor grows in my area is tomatoes... they let off the same heat signature as a marijuana plant does... ppl have also...

One of the most important things is knowing your pH... you can lock out vital nutes if you don't maintain a good pH... mine generally stays around 5.8-6.2... I would def check that first and would greatly consider flushing with pH balanced water... hope this helps

i understand that 12/12 might seem like a better option but trust me they def need the 18/6 for a few weeks... the only time i really see 12/12 is w autoflowering... my schedule typically runs them at 24/0 for about two weeks or until they have 2-3 sets of leaves... then ill switch to 18/6 for 4...

Warped1 that thing is awesome... found it for 6 bucks... if i decide to switch to dirt ill def have to invest in one...

oh sorry lol... a bucket, an electronic fish tank pump, and a standard light timer would fix that problem... just set the timer to when to turn on the pump to water the plants... just keep the water source light proof so algae doesnt form...

sorry forgot to add that shes about 30 inches tall now... 5600k cfl's are perfect for vegging 18/6... then switch to 12/12 and use warmer light temps like 2700k...

Why not start on 18/6... this is crucial for vegging and would help with your size as well... then switch to 12/12 for flowering... im also on my first grow... using aeroponics and cfl's... heres a pic of 3 colas on my first grow... im 2 weeks in to flowering after vegging on 18/6 for 4 weeks...

soooo roots are starting to look like shit again... driving me nuts... think ill start using dirt now... but the lady is still looking great... here is a pic of week 2 flowering...

im thinking your light source may be too close... fluorescent lighting has low temps allowing you to get the light really close... w/ a 1k watt hps you're gonna need good air circulation and space between the light and plants...

Here are some updated pics of one of my plants... she ended up with 5 tops... one more hasnt sexed yet and the other 2 were male... the pic of the roots was shot one week after the nasty root photo... :lol:

how many weeks did you veg? and whats your strain? pics?

btw thanks everyone for your input... new roots are showing and the babies look just as healthy as before... took everyones suggestions and did it all just about lol... thinking theyll pull it off especially seeing the significant root growth in the past couple days... i will def post more pics...

yea so... bought a thermometer and res temps are actually 67.8 degrees and i have 4 airstones... 2 are 6" long and are running on a 60 gallon pump... then i have a 4" stone on a 4 gallon pump and a 8" stone on its on 35 gallon pump so i'm generating a lot of bubbles... as far as my roots go i...

they look ok to me... one thing i have learned is dont cut leaves unless its absolutely necessary...

water temp is b/t 70-80... it was this way before bleach... and never had an algae problem... should i scrap or keep them growing...

okay so i happen to be a beginner grower but an expert carpenter... my question- is your insulation not covered by sheet rock or plywood?... i say this bc your insulation being submitted to the same elements as your plants would cause your insulation to begin to hold in moisture... or it may be...

from what i see in the pics there seems to be some discoloration in some of your leaves which would def be a nute issue... im also growing w/ fluorescent but im using cfl's not t5's and i can tell you first hand my lights have been within an inch if not touching the plants their entire grow...

from everything that i have read and seen as long as it is the lower leaves and you have corrected the nute problem you should be fine... you never want to cut these leaves bc they pretty much act as a filter for the plant... from the way i understand it when your plant receives to much nutes or...
