IF you are sing the Liquid Karma it IS!is it normal for the roots in the flower system to get brownish from the nutes? i jus flushed the roots wit luke warm water nd it all came off the roots. thanks..

I am currently running 5 blueberries in a 6 hole flower system. Already I am thinking about my next grow. Due to space constraints my whole grow must fit into my dr120 tent. So I have no real way to go perpetual and will keep starting from seed until I can figure out the spacing issue.Thanks rep, knowledge is power!!!

Senator I'm hoping someone else might jump in on the sealed room questions...Thanks for the info Rep! I guess I need to back up and reconsider my ideas on Ozone generators.
Essentially, I was thinking if I could get by with not venting the room at all, I could cut out fan costs and keep all my co2 in the room till it was used. Heat and humidity would be ran off a Sentinel greenhouse controller and kept in check by the AC unit and dehumidifier. With this plan in mind, do I NEED to vent the room? If i dont, what would you suggest for odor control?
Also, hate to repeat but I know how things can get lost in the mix after they go back a page or two. My additional questions are:
1. Is the AC unit mentioned back earlier in the thread still considered the best option? If so, do any of you have a link? (cant recall where those posts fell)
2. Should I get a dedicated dehumidifier or will the AC unit cover my needs? If I need another, any recommendations?
3. What PPM meters do you guys recommend? I want to buy a good one to start with.
Thanks again for all the help!
i use cfl's also and unless they the plants have been touching the bulbs for a day or so they wont get burned. i actually had a cfl hovering about 3/4" over a bud for almost 8 weeks, you can move them pretty far away for cloning. i have 6 of the 23 watt bulbs about 18" or so over my clones and i dont get any stretching, just roots in 3 to 5 days. hope this helps.Hey Stinkbud I talked to you about this before but I need some ore help.
This is happening to all the strains now and it starts on the older leaves first and mostly at the tips and edges, then advances towards the middle eventualy and drys out and dies.
We thought that it was nute burn so I lowered the nutes down to 500 at first and watched them. After doing this the plants growth rate seemed to launch and they were growing twice as fast so I figured this fixed the problem. I continued to watch but this problem still continued to happen. I then lowered the nutes down to 300. The growth rate seemed like it dramaticly decreased and I am still seeing this happen to the leaves.
The Temps in the room have been between 75-78F, the PH has stayed at 5.8, the humidity stays around 32-38%
I am using eight 26watt 6500k CFL's like I mentioned before. I have also raised them to a about 3 inches above the plants but I dont wanna raise them to high in fear of streaching. I do not have a fan blowing on the plants so I wondered if the lights could be burning them because of not having a fan.
Please everyone take a look and give me some input because I can not think of what could be the problem and I dont wanna loose the plants because these were my start from seeds so I could take clones to keep running the system. Everyone knows that Feminized seeds are not cheap!
Thanks fellow stinkbuddies!
Check your nutes ratio and make sure you aren't using twice the amount of liquid karma... it's prob a long shot, but I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with browning leaves drying from the center out. I had miscalculated and was using twice the amount of liquid karma--the water itself was extremely brown.Please everyone take a look and give me some input because I can not think of what could be the problem and I dont wanna loose the plants because these were my start from seeds so I could take clones to keep running the system.

I agree, looks like nute burn from here too.I dunno.. just taking a quick peak I would guess nute burn. The new growth looks fine. The browning leaves are screwed... but if your new growth keeps up that is the real key..
...as for the totally sealed room - you can get away with that if you run tanked CO2. Gas burning CO2 generators need enough oxygen to efficiently burn and keep carbon monoxide from being created. Even with a sealed room you need "emergency" exhaust should temps or humid reach harmful levels. There is a cool way to use your exhaust fan as your room scrubber (yes - scrubbing your room through active carbon is the best method for removing odor)... run your carbon filter as normal - but attach a y fitting to other side of your vortex. Put a standard damper on one branch of the y - this will serve as the room scrubber. Put a ZoneControl electronic damper on the other branch of the y - attach this to your humid/temp controller... when activated the ZoneControl damper will open allowing your room to exhaust. The standard damper on the other branch will close while exhausting to ensure all removed air travels through the filter.Thanks for the info Rep!

how far apart did you space the net pots?
Yes, do read the plans extensively. For a quick answer, I believe the default configuration calls for 7 inch spacing. I am assuming that is 7 inches center to center.how far apart did you space the net pots?
i spaced mine out to 12 inches nd 5 holes in each post.Yes, do read the plans extensively. For a quick answer, I believe the default configuration calls for 7 inch spacing. I am assuming that is 7 inches center to center.
is it normal for the roots in the flower system to get brownish from the nutes? i jus flushed the roots wit luke warm water nd it all came off the roots. thanks..
yup thats wat im using the veg formula stink told us to use. Im using it in my first two weeks of flowering. wen i rinsed the roots off they were good again. but i guess its normal like evry1 else said.i think they should be brown durin veg also right?? unless i screwed up but im pretty sure veg formula calls for liquid karma. anyways, heres pics of b4 and after. was havin water issues, now fixed and within 2 days roots turned a dark brown. wheres the bud porn?? havent seen any pics in a while, lets see em guys
nd ?? I dont understand most of your abbrivations or acronyms most of the time.i spaced mine out to 12 inches nd 5 holes in each post.
My two cents:about cloning in general,
I noticed there is no mention about lighting for the clones. Can it burn clones up if you use a 250 flouro or 400 watt hps at distance for cloning? what is that a 24 watt flouro on the cloning page?
I think thats "and" missing the "a". Just my guess.nd ?? I dont understand most of your abbrivations or acronyms most of the time.
