    So, I'm fairly new to Hydroponics; having done just one other hydro grow before this and one soil grow. I bought a 1000 watt ,switchable, magnetic ballast setup from a friend moving away from here(A medical state) to Texas(boo.) I already had in my possession a 600 watt switchable electronic...

    Switched to flowering. Going to be doing an update when I get home from work tomorrow. I just want to start over with the new nutes and test em against my 1 part floranova.

    Hey guys, going to be posting an update here in a minute. Using a new line of nutrients. Decided to go with the house and garden setup. Kinda spendy, but I think it is going to be a good switch from the general hydroponics floranova series. We'll see, eh? Also; I think my plants are a...

    I checked my PH meter against my 4.01 solution and it read 4.02 and I didn't let it sit much longer then about 60 seconds, I'm sure it woulda found that last .01 hehe. I think my meter is in check.

    I calibrated it a few days ago. I checked the water just a second ago, it was at 5.55 Ph, 312 PPM and 71 degrees. 75 degree temps midway through the room and 78 at the top near the light. Anyone have experience with damage caused by their plant being too close to the light? Not heat damage...

    It was actually the cold weather I believe! Its winter time here and I don't have a thermostat! My air intake is from the outside so my room was getting prettttty cold. I think it was peaking around 65 >.< I added a 400 watt light as a heater, hehehe and it seems my temps are back in the...

    I went a bit too heavy on the feeding and they got a bit damaged as indicated in the pictures. I brought the PPM back down to around 300 and they seem happy again. Also a little side note for myself as well as anyone using this for informational purposes. I have been seeing issues anytime I...

    Hey all! Rough here, just trying to find people to chat with about growing in general. Specifically critiquing my current setup and or accepted norms. I am a novice to growing, as I have only harvested crops twice. Both times were soil grows. I am enjoying hydroponics a lot and I doubt...

    Anyone have a few minutes to help out a hydroponic noob?

    I started out using 6.5 PH water. After nearly killing my poor girls the helpful lads at the hydroponics store in my area told me Soil and Hydro don't use the same PH, imagine that. Anyhow, they were off to a rough start. With some careful 5.7 PH watering and flushes they really started to...

    Looking to do a hydro in my 250w hps cabinet any suggestions?

    Been busy working recently, sorry I haven't been able to reply! DWC requires tons of oxygen!! I've heard upwards of 25 liters per minute per gallon. I use an ebb and flow system on a 12-15 gallon reservoir running 50 liters per minute because ebb and flow supplies fresh oxygen to the roots on...

    Looking to do a hydro in my 250w hps cabinet any suggestions?

    Virtually all waterpumps are the same and the only thing you'd need to be concerned with is the GPH. Gallons per hour. Just make sure it doesn't take more then 2-3 minutes to get your roots water from the time your pump turns on, and if it does, you need a bigger pump. Higher volume of PVC...

    Looking to do a hydro in my 250w hps cabinet any suggestions?

    I am in support of the NFT system. A friend of mine uses that exact system and has a few top feed drippers so he can do the whole thing, from clone to flower, in the same place. You need the top feeding to support the roots while they work their way down through the medium into the nutrient...

    250 w hps stealth grow in cabinet

    What spectrum are your mother lights in? Make sure to get the closest to 6500K you can and as high as wattage as your fixtures will support. Floros are great, but they have very low range!

    250 w hps stealth grow in cabinet

    Do you only have access to a HPS light? Or do you have MH access? MH is better for keeping your plants short, as red light promotes stem growth and stretchy growth; when compared to blue light. Sweet setup though, <3 stealth grows!

    some more pics. Cuttings are just a few days old. I'm going to call them 1 week from cutting today. I got them as clones from a friend, not 100% sure the day he cut them.
