I got some strains im vegging in flo n gro buckets before they go in the system in flower tent which is a whole other topic to deal with...and some others as stand aloners ill probably keep in the table and change the bulbs to flowering t5 bulbs. the Vegging is taking place in a 4x4 flood table were supposedly a 40 gallon reservoir is supposed to be enough to flood the table to the top right below the lip especially with the displacement of the buckets...NOT!! so now I have a problem because the rock wool cubes where the roots were level at were placed at the level in the buckets right where the solution was supposed to flood to. The pump only pumps the reservoir to half full and then starts pumping air as it only pumps to about 2-3 inches of the bottom .. basically where the water is drawn into the pump is above the bottom level so it will never get the bottom 25% to 1/3. So with this and I dont know if they suffer for this I know its impossible to overfeed them this way but people I've been having to get a cup and hand feed each bucket the nutrient solution from the reservoir trying to make sure i saturate it enough as if it were being flooded and I only do this once - twice a day. the t5's do a good job of drying the moisture from the grow rocks and have been giving me 80-84 degree temperatures thie fixtures are 2 8 bulbs and cover the 4x4 table ffro edge to edge for full light coverage. each one puts out about 400 watts for a total of 800 but if i run all 16 the temps goes all the way to 87 degrees. so since there a switch for these where you run the inside bulbs or just the outside ive just been running the inside 4 and have been keeping it between 80-84 as stated. Im growing Akorn, Blue Dream, Purple Wreck, Critical Hog, Og Kush, Underdawg OG, Sour Blueberry, Bubblelicious, Sage N Sour and a Blue OG :wall:

Hello People,
I need your help. I'm a totally beginner indoor grower. I've successfully germinated 10/10 BB Cheese Autos in rockwool. For two weeks I've used a 125W CFL Blue. Sadly I had some stretch. I'm using 15 L square pots with rockwool cubes+granulates for fill it up properly. I've putted the smaller cubes at the top of the pot.
I'm starting the 3rd week now and I've also started using my 600W DualSpectrum Sunmaster which is 1m above the plants.
That lamp is hot as hell but more or less I can keep the temp around 80F - 25-27 C. The water pH is 5.8 - 6.2
I've soaked the cubes in pH balanced water and I've also added some Formulex and a few drops of BioBuzz Root juice into it 1/4 - 1/8 rate.
I've also used a very little Formulex later for watering.

some of the plants are looking healthy and ok for me.

One of the plants has got yellow leafs which I've identified as Nitrogen deficiency. What do you think? I'm not sure..

The other one started to turning into yellow slowly but it has some wrinkling on the leaves as well! Any ideas? I couldn't id the problem accurately:

And the last one I think it is a nutrient burn but I would appreciate your confirmation please:

Hello sig i was lucky and recovered my plant but cant be sure if it was the light to much or the bottled water i used that i later saw it didnt had ca at all.
I changed the plant to the 400 watt from 600 3 days ago and also changed the water to 1 that has ca and mg and also gave the plant little extra ca+mg and the plant is looking greater every day now
i l wait 1 week to take it back to the 600 lamp to c how it goes and let u know.
Hope i helped
(btw mine is also BB cheese its rly sensitive i grow 4 plants and always had some problems with that strain mostly heat stress)

question, running hydroponics recirculating system. my pH use to drop throughout the day as water was consumed. now i noticed it's pretty much stabilized. i haven't had to add any ph up in a week. i can't tell if my plants bud production has slowed, everything still appears to be going smoothly. should i be worried if everything still looks okay?

Hi guys. Having some issues with floppy stems. Have 6 plants and 4 are fine but 2 are coming up running parallel to the ground and then upto the leaves. I have tried adjusting the lights as to not over stretch them but I have a problem with temp where it's at 31 Celsius where I read 22-29 was the correct temp. I ride running a fan 20 hours with the lights 20/4 to control temp and strengthen stems but to be honest I think this has contributed to the 2stms that aren't growing up straight. I was hoping to post pics but wanted to make sure it was safe first. I am using 250W MH bulb for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First timer.
