sorry been a little busy i just got back in town today, havent got any new pics yet but will definatley do that tomarrow morning. i dont mind the question asking in this thread but once you get an answer dont push it too far. had a little issue with the timmer when i was gone so they had about a 36 hour dark period. but i got a new digital one w/ battery back-up and its workin like a charm.

again i dont mind the questions, and i may be a little bit of a smart ass but with crap dirt you get dead crap plants. try using a potting soil, but watch the npk levels so you dont get nute burnt babies. as far as hydro goes you need alot of test equipment to keep your reservoir at the proper levels and you gotta know what your plants need when they tell you they want it. i have 50 bag seeds from 12 different strains, but i know i wont get 50 plants some just have shitty genetics and wat not. 82 is definatley hot for seedlings mine wee at like 72-75 degrees you have enough light to get them through a few weeks. again this is me just bein a smart ass but i dont think spendind an ass load of dough on a set up will cure your problem. can you describe what the plants do before they drop, and do you have any pics. im takein a stab in the dark with the info you gave

thank you i could use any help or luck i can get. they are growing quickly and getting a stronger odor, gotta love that smell. but overall it is still hard to tell what they are even under a 30x scope. i got one from a brew and grow around me.Stopin in for good luck...Hard to tell 100% but think they look like mine at this stage...with in a few days for a sure sex, and this will happen quick now...

no input on either the cha ching or the bud candy, i'm leaning towards the bud candy cuz its a lquid and everything else im using is a liquid. im about to add another 3 fixtures to the set up for a combined 6 more lights.
Curently i have:
1-85 watt 5000k
2-65 watt 6500k
2-35 watt 2700k
2-30 watt 2700k
2-23 watt 2700k
391 curent watts
i want to have( with adding those 6 bulbs ):
1-85watt 5000k
2-65watt 6500k
2-35watt 2700k
8-30watt 2700k
2-23watt 2700k
for a total of 571 watts.
these plants are getting really tall now so i need to add another "light bar", a shower rod with 3 clamp lamps with y adapters to get lower buds lit up one on eac plant and one lighting up the top of the one without a light above it. i think this should give me a good finish. but i really would apreciate any help on the cha ching or the bud candy? rep+ for those who help me with those additives.

thanks apreciate the compliments. The main reason I was asking about the additives is they are for late flowering to enhance resin prodution as well as flovor and aroma. I was going to use the bud candy for the next four weeks the probably flush till the end depending on how close they are to finish. I may hold off I may expirement and use it on one and not the other since I water them with two diff jugs. Not sure I was looking to find somebodys opinion/results with either of them before I invest any more money in nutes. But like you said get a base to judge improvement for myself that would be the best answer to get.

yea im gonna scrap the additives till the next grow 90% of what i read says its pure hype 10% say its the real deal so im going to hold off and hopefuly do some more research, and find answers. but other than that nobody else got any thing that i need to do or criticism am i doing anything wrong. is the new lighting good enough?? im just bored so im posting to pass the time.
