Thanks man That's a nice looking set up. I'm told I should not cool/vent the Gavita light at all but I see no real reason why a set up like this wouldn't work well. I'll be adjusting a bit trying to set up smartly a little at a time.
Frustrated!!! NEWB ????

Well that sucks. Thanks man. Any recommendations on stable nutrients. I'm running ebb and flow in 3 gallon buckets with about 30 gallons as a target for res. easy enough to add if I mix a little hot.
I really like the jacks 321 formula for coco I have a 55gal drum I've had it filled for like 3-4 days with no pH change. Formula is 3.6 grams jacks hydroponics 2.4 grams calcium nitrate 1.2 grams Epsom salt. You have to fully mix the nutes 1 at a time or the Epsom won't dissolve. I've grown my best nug using that mix start to finish I just half the calcium nitrate the last 3-4 feedings in flower.

what is your EC in a gal of RO with that mix?
i've read that 321 is a pretty solid mix for hydro. might give it a shot one day.
I never check that anymore I don't really see a reason to but the same formula works for me from clone to harvest I was skeptical about it working but after using it i don't think I'll ever use anything else
Whats going on here?
500 PPM on the 500 scale which I really don't get, I didn't realize there were 3 scales.
E.C. is 1.0 again not sure which scale to go by.
5.8 PH
Res is 77 degrees
Tent is 78 deg
Every night, about 15-17 into the 18/6 schedule, the plants look like this, seems like they are shying away from light or something. Got myself a new bluelab meter I'm pretty happy with. It seems like I have all my numbers close to where they should be or are these plants trying to tell me something. Maybe I turned up light to soon???
Thanks alot

What light are you using? They do look kinda sad are they getting fresh air all day/night?

I'm on my second go with Mega Crop, I do dwc and have 0 zero issues with ph fluctuation. After mix I adjust ph about 2 hours after then I adjust the following day and then it's locked in at 6.1 until bucket change. I change out every 7 days. Much more stable than GH or RAW or House and Gardens ever was.
That's so strange I must have somehow got a bad batch I got just under half the yield I usually get and major nutrient lockout from pH fluxuations when I tried using megacrop
Edit: just re-read your post you have to adjust twice before it stays stable? That's rediculous I stand by what I said.

My first harvest with Mega Crop produced more weight than previous grows with the others I'v used. Bad Batch? You should contact Greenleaf nutrients..

Yes I adjust twice, I could most likely get by with one adjustment if I bring it down to 5.5 on first adjustment...but I have time and visit my garden often. Not check your PH once or twice a day everyday like you say to OP. Many people are having excellent results switching to MC, I'v only seen 2 complaints on the Greenleafnutrients thread and Greenleaf has tried to help the 2 people who were having problems. Try and get that kind of customer service from the other guys. Most people are stating increase in yields and ease of use and awesome looking veg and blooms.
Not really worth my time i like the nutrients I use the reason I tried megacrop was if I go on vacation it's easier to leave instructions for a 1 part but if it's hard to pH there's no point in me using it. Most of the good results are From people in veg I've seen several people that actually flowered with it in coco have problems. Also the only good results I've heard about (they never post pics) are from people using double or more of the recommended dosage if you use twice as much it's not as cheap as they make it seem.

I'm using jacks this run as well, I almost went out and spent a TON of money, read caps thread, completely saved me $$$$$$$$$$. THANK GOD . running that with his OGbiowar and black label root enhance tonic... my seeds are poking out of their cubes after like 18 hours.

The Gavita 1000E
Yes plenty of air. I think, I turned light to 1000 to fast. I turned it back one notch waiting to see if that makes a difference late in the day.

Nice! Im sure you will be happy with jacks! Has worked amazing for me for over a year and costs less than $75 to feed 18 plants from clone to harvest.I'm using jacks this run as well, I almost went out and spent a TON of money, read caps thread, completely saved me $$$$$$$$$$.
