Hydroponics

if you look the middle of the plant is yellowish and the tops are yellowish too the 1k light is a foot away

thats two plants

can i start taking out the fan leaves to let more light in they are 6 weeks into bloom

Dats realy nice so how many pots u got u got under dat light

HELLO I AM NEW AT GROWING

I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH TO FIND OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO I CAN GROW SOME GOOD WEED

I WILL BE GETTING THE Bucketeer DWC Kit AND THE Dual Spectrum II High Output Fluorescent Light Kit FROM http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/index.php

WILL THOSE LIGHTS BE OK FOR GROWING MY PLANT?

I WILL BE GROWING JUST ONE BIG PLANT

The dual spectrum II lighting system provides a monsterous 8400 lumens which supports both vegetative growth and flowering phases. At Stealth Hydro, we do as the name says, and stealth means low heat. Our lights produce the least amount of heat of any grow light system on the market today. This means you can place these lights into any small corner or stealthy closet without heat troubles that most other lighting systems have. Included are two rugged, fully assembled, completely wired, 11 inch rounded parabolic reflectors. No cheap bent, dangerously sharp, Aluminum slates here; just safe, no hassle equipment. Reflectors have EZ-hang loops to make mounting a breeze.

Potroast... your input is needed...

just depends on the strain....gdp takes 3000 no sweat...you will add more of the base nutes to get a higher ppm...all recomendations from any nute supplier is just that a recomendation or a starting point...if your plants are lookin really good up the dosage a little at a time then back off when you see nute burn...drop it just a little from that point and youll be good to go

Huh... I thought the best way to have them is just above a deficiency... as weak a solution as possible, without lacking anything...

I'll do some more research and check back with you guys...

Can anyone tell me if those lights will be ok for growing my first plant?

Its just gonna b one plant and then if i do it right i will be growing more

Chuchtown- killer stalk on those-great job! What strain r those? It looks like you are thinking of going to a mh light? If you are that far into flower, going from hps to mh might hermie them -light stress. I had an outdoor female clone, early summer, that got to a foot and moved it inside to mh 400w aerogro bulb under 18/6 and she started flowering. changed to hps went back to vegg. I flowered her a month later at 23" and she hermie'd on me from light stress. just my .02. Is your reflector vented?

Edit: I was reading on uvb lighting and saw case studies that peeps who changed to MH light during last weeks of flower-Shows Mh light has greater uvb output which directly correlates to more trich production ie more thc. Just thought I would share this. I would just hate to see those beautiful plants turn hermie.

yes its vented

how many plants can you grow with a 400 watt bulb in a 2 by 4 tent?

Potroast or anyone, can you give a little advise on combo in-tank continuous monitors. I read a post you contributed to saying you had the HANNA ph,tds model. You stated you were happy with the Hanna but the probe kept going bad with in a year or 6 months. Have you found a better unit? I am wanting to get a combo unit with PH, Temp and PPM. Hanna and Nutradip seem to have the best for what Iam interested in.I am trying to decide which one to get or if there is a better brand or model that can be recommended? Sense it is a somewhat large investment I don't want to get screwed on the wrong one. You have helped with advise before hope you can now. Thanks to anyone with help.

Just wanted to thank you guys that helped me earlier. Harvest was good and plentiful... This site is great!

Mendo

soil does not taste better or make harder buds...lol i love it when ppl say that. Just get a good genetic and its all the same damnit.

hey this site is great much thanks to all.i am used to being a dirt man myself but want to covert what is a good way to set up a hydro systeam i do understand the idea behind it just dont have the money to go for the high end stuff if u can explain a cheaper alternative i would be gratefull if the money is need explain about how much is a good starting amount with a list of main peices one more time thatnks in advance

think baby pool fish tank pump for air in the res and a wic ksystem setup on top. gotta love capillary action... pretty much the cheapest for the amount of plants you can grow with it

I have been using the Hanna Grocheck for about 6 months now and I love mine... this site has the best price I could find...

Thanks gypsybush, I read your post about this meter on another thread. I believe Potroast gave you advise on saving the probes. Have you noticed any ill effects to your probes after this amount of time. Also great price how much was your shipping. I'm thinking of the tri-meter for the res. temp. Thanks for your input.

Yup yup! He said he keeps his probes in his to off tank (fresh pH'd water with NO NUTES) and they last longer...

He noticed a correlation between salt build up and probe failure...

No, and as a matter of fact I just calibrated it and it was still spot on....

ARGH! I hate saying it, but I paid almost double that locally.... but I guess I saved in shipping eh?!?!?!

I went with this one because a friend had been using a second hand one for years, and when it failed he went out and bought the same one...

That was enough for me to make my choice...

Temp is nice... I just have an aquarium thermometer in there... but I never check it.... my res is always cool...

Best of luck...

On the same exact hydro set up... with the same light, nutes & environment...

One strain is dank, pungent, covered in glittery sugar and hard as a knuckle...

The other strain is pure hair... very light smell.. and while I am not going to tell you it was fluffy, I got 1.5 oz off 1 small plant, is was most certainly not as dense as my knuckles ...

Genetics.... then the environment... I really think that the feeding method has least of impacts...

But with that said...

If you grow some dank... in a special patch of dirt in the forest, where only the Fairies know the way (not in pots in a basement)... all organic compost...a sacred creek nearby... you may actually get Mother Nature to put an extra zing in there, that we cannot put in ourselves....

kinda like when they say Marinol is the exact chemical composition, but yet it lacks ... what is the word I am looking for... subtleties and quirks that can only be introduced in the natural world... and not in a lab...

Some might refer to that as soul.... while others cannot even understand what the hell we are actually talking about here....

...

Freaking Gypsies and their magik schpeals ....

What's next palm reading????

...

Anyways... Gvega... I'll have to agree with you... get good genetics and a real light for crying out loud...lol...
