i usually measure it when res is 50% low (my system is 40g so re-check when water is at 20g) takes my system 1 week usually to drink up 50% of the res, if i start at 1500ppm and in a week with 50% water gone take another reading and ppms are right around 1500 still then im hitting the perfect...

few more pics with the lights off, can really see they have put on weight for just 22 days in. im liking the progress of these plants.

bet your right. 50 per 600w is a no brainer, i get that from t5's :)

What's your average if you don't mind me asking.

i have a 4x8 space with x2 1k's in it with 12 plants under them. i use small 6" xtrasun reflectors and have a 740cfm 8" inline fan for exhaust (reduced down to 6") and another 740cfm 8" inline as a intake. room temps are maxed at 80F with this system. my home has a swamp cooler for ac so i shut...

Thanks, strain is northern lights. Not sure of the breeder because I purchased cuttings from the local club.

whats up guys, havent posted up a thread in a while so figured i would just throw up some pics of where im at right now. im still rockin the e&g 12 site, im sitting at day 21 currently and have some other pics. pic one is day 1 12/12 second is day 7 12/12 and last pics are current day 21 12/12...

Still betting its ph lol good luck to you;) funny nobody asked about the ph.

I don't think it's to high I'm thinking the opposite, you tell me 5.5 with drops I'm thinking more like 5 or less actual resulting in a serious loss in ca and mg at those numbers. Best advice I can give is to get the good tools needed to grow in this fashion or you will always be having probs.

The thing with those drops is they go off color if you are adding colored nutes to the water before taking a sample it's giving you a false reading believe me been there.

Those drops are not accurate at all compared to a digital meter, I'm betting your ph is out. I used to use those until I got a real meter and never looked back.

You know what else causes rust spots, a wacked ph. So what's your ph? Do you have a accurate way to check it?

you should be proud of your numbers, anybody who is telling you 2lbs per 1k is ether super experienced or doesnt know shit, ether way your doing well.

not sure what you are asking but any plant you are taking clones from should be "mature", im not saying anything about the maturity of the plant just stating that if you take a fresh rooted clone from your dome and stick it in a 6x6 pot and straight to flower it will not grow for the first week...

i have had mine for a little over a year and never had a failure, i bought mine from ebay for 300 bucks lol sucks though sorry to hear that. im getting a titan flo n grow next for the larger sites:)

on a first run with sog? i dont think so.

i think you are seriously over thinking your grow, your yields are good in your current setup but you are really cramming them in there. 10 plants that large are way to much for a 1k, i flower in a 4x8 room with x2 1ks and hit a bit more than you per lamp (usually around 20-22 zips per 1k) with...

Or why not just raise the pots 1.5 inches lol, the roots in my pic would have still hit the bottom o the pots even with a 1.5" spacer it's the water in the lower bucket that causes the problem not the space between the two buckets lol don't think you understood the entire post or haven't run the...

well the difference is i dont use h202, zymes or anything to control root rot because i made these changes to my system. i use lucas formula (micro-bloom) and cal mag and thats it last time i spent money on nutes was almost a year ago and i bought 4 gal gh m-b-calmag and havent spent a dime on...

I suggest raising the buckets 1-2" above the controll bucket, it is not personal preference but a flaw with the cap system if all buckets are level with control bucket you will notice water sitting in the bottom of the buckets after drain cycle. This causes problems in later flower/veg when...
