Yo Dirt! I ran into the same problem as you - I let a batch stay in the veg unit too long and the larger plants took over - my second flower unit has one bonzai plant that I put in at about 3.5 inches - her biggest sister was almost 2 feet! Yeah - I am going to have issues with my first two batches - overgrown already. I let em veg too long as I was not finished with the room - ha ha live and learn again and again!Stinkbuds.
Whats the smallest clone or veg plant you have put into flower?
I've had the lights down to about 2" since jiffy dome. Moved it up to about 8" now that the plants are bigger and get get a better blend from the 2 blue and 2 red lamps. In regards to the spots, they got bigger! They also were more predominate on the 3 white rhinos. Well, I shit a phone book. I thought that I had over-nuted them. I mixed Stink's veg formula and put in 2 cups into the res. (I have five gallons in the res.) I didn't have a TDS meter, so I thought I'd go way on the light side in terms of concentration. The next day was when the spots got worse. I assumed the nutes were the culprit and changed the water and cleaned the resovoir. Today I got my PH meter (I had been using the drops - huge pain in the ass) and TDS/EC meter. When I checked the PH in the resovoir, that I thought was roughly 6.0, it was actually 7.3!!! Adjusted the PH down to 5.8. Compared my symptons to some pics online and think that could be it. I will monitor every few hours. I will definately report back.i have the same lights mine stay a 18" from the top of the res. i never have to move it even when the plants touch the light i just cut the top off the plant becuase it will be to tall in the flower room
hope this helps
ps
the spots could be where nute. spash on them
hey jagerI've had the lights down to about 2" since jiffy dome. Moved it up to about 8" now that the plants are bigger and get get a better blend from the 2 blue and 2 red lamps.

I do have a question for the group: I have HM-100 TDS/EC. I know it comes calibrated from the factory, but should I re-calibrate it myself? Which solution should I use? There are three settings to choose from. Which should I use? Setting KCl or 442 or NaCl. You guys are the best, thank you.
I run it for about 2 weeks. It's really not a big deal to run it longer though.Ive been searching the thread and i cant find your post stink about how you run the veg formula in the flower room.
I have my next batch ready to go into flower (timewise), but beacuse i threw out my sour diesel ..i now have plants in veg ranging from 16 inches to 3 inches....... i was gonna put the smaller ones in the flower room under the HPS so they will stretch for 5 days or so but keep the veg formula running. and also switch the veg lights to 12 and 12 so the bigger veg plants still begin the flowering process.....
I figure that after a few days the smaller plants will have stretched enough, and then i can add the taller plants.
Is this too much? or should i just throw them all in and tie the bigger ones back ???
also how long did you say you kept the veg formula running in the flower room?
you can see my dilema...... oh what to do? theres about 5 that are tiny still. the bigggest is my pre98 bubba , then cheese, redgrape and blueberry and sfv og kush.
Not sure if you mean my pic. If so, I don't really have any ventilation.I was looking at the pic and was wondering how you run your ventilation ?
If you see the edges of your leaves curling up that usually means that the leaves are dissipating more water than the roots can replace.This pic is of the Hindu Kush. This particular plant doesn't have any spots, but notice the leaf at 12 o'clock, the edges are kind of wavy. Hope that's PH related as well. Any and all advice appreciated.
Your closest looks great!Here is my closet with the DIY stuff to keep temps down. The 2 liter bottles you see are my DIY CO2 boosters
Your closest looks great!
CO2 is heavier than air and should be placed above the plants (up high).
Roots bro!anyone recognize whats going on these stems
are these roots or some sort of pesticide eggs
Thanks

The roots don't really have enough time to grow into the bottom Roughneck, although they try very hard, and even if they do a little bit then they just get pruned when I lift the top Rubbermaid off, lol.hey i know dealing with newbies is annoying and this might be a stupid q, but i am a long-time outdoor grower and have little knowledge of indoor setups (and am trying to get on board), earlier when u showed to 18 gall roughnecks stacked, are the roots supppose to be able to reach down into the water below or should u be removing them before that happens. also i have recently been expeirimenting with a hydro settup using a clay medium in netted pots keeping the roots submerged and usung a airstone. i only do 1 plant at a time since i am not yet experienced with this method but this aeroponic/ntf system looks much more interesting. is there a basic skematic out there since that lables all the parts since looking at your setup is a little complex to a begginner? sry if that was a little "run-on"ish, i tend to do that. thanks in advance for any light shed
