Need more light. It's stretching pretty bad.
yeah ValleGrown, i know its shitty to have that stretching so far , it was under 6500k, 26 watts of CFL, half inch to the foliage...its still stretching... just few hours ago since i posted here, i just repotted that seedling to the soilless pot since my wife was moved HB to get her favorite aloe vera plant to water, it fell down on the floor...all the perlite came out and spilled on the floor...sad for me but its good exprience for me to learn..next time im gonna start with five gallon :) plus im happy that she s going to order the grow tent for me next month...no more outdoor for me, big w00t !!! well thanks for sharing.

whats up guys sorry for the total lack of response and lack of info, all in all this grow was a epic fail in my eyes! had to harvest early from root rot (sucks:cry:) i had a bad fungus start growing and just couldnt contain it, the roots smelled like rotten eggs and the plants where just suffering badly! so i cleaned the entire system numerouse times to get the smell out and took down all my lights and replaced them with 2 1000w lights in magnum reflectors with horti eyes and lumatek dimmable digies. the god buds are still coming along nicley so they will be going into flower soon. anyway here are a few pics (the 6" piece of duct will be replaced tomorrow with a 8" just fell short on ducting).

i know bro it really sucks and i was pretty hurt about the situation but i have made some changes that i think will really help. i moved my res into the bathroom where the temp stays very low to keep the water cold and zero light, also stopping the use of any sweetener, molasses etc to be sure the res is as sterile as possible. i have put all the seedlings and clones into the E&G under the 1000's and going to let them veg for another week or so then i will flip them to flower.

how hot was ur res getting? i had the same prob in my system last grow but i got a water chiller set it to 65 and so far so good. and i covered my res with some panda paper just to keep any light out cause i cant move it out of the room. i hope u get it up and running again u r always growing fire

thanks gamble, the super critical actually still turned out good, the bag appeal is great the smoke is very sweet, i like it. my res was getting up to 90 on occasion im sure the shitty thing was it was sitting right next to the lights and of course it is black so it was just a heat magnet at that point.

Yep the chiller is the shit but the tea is also helping to, sorry bro about the slime!
whats up HR, i ran the tea but i think it was to the point where the funk was so bad it just made things worse, im tossing up weather i should just run H202 religiously or the tea? the tea will work great im sure if i use it all the time before there is a problem.

here are some pics of where im at i got the system up and running again full of plants, the lights are up and running great and these things are BRIGHT!! still running 18/6 for another week to give them some time to get a bit larger.

Bad news bears dude I'm sorry to hear about that....I'm sure this one will be better, Magnum's are lookin mighty fine...got mine in the mail 2 weeks back, that one I got for like 170 shipped.....things like a fuckin rainmaker when it shows up, glass panel is shattered into a million pieces and the chord is literally sliced....so now I'm gonna end up buying a new socket and glass panel gonna eat up that 50$ difference reeal fast....Oh well, if it's too good to be true it is....the saddest part is that there was nothing wrong with it when the guy sent it out, but he only put like 1 piece of newspaper for padding so the thing got wasted.... honestly insane..allllllll good though cuz once that puppy's running I got some OG Salmon Creek and Res. Priv. Kandy Kush clones just waaaitin....NYC Diesel and Querkle mommy's are just gettin started for the april harvest......What you got runnin now? Some Critical and Bubba waitin for the GB's?

man that sucks bad moose, i hate when shit like that happens. sounds like you got a good lineup for your next run for sure. im still vegging the whole next run under the 1000's on 18/6. now another stroke of bad news is that out of the 9 GB's that vegged only 3 are fem :( so now i am down 6 plants so i scrounged up 3 clones (1 SC, 1 bubba and 1 ak47) so now im down 3 but im picking up some of my WW's that a good friend still has cuts of and he already vegged them up so i think im good.

ya man it is kinda a let down but its ok im happy i got 3 after all, the lineup should be good (a bit more strains than i like to run at once but who cares). the GB's that made it are healthy so its ok. going to start flowering this thursday.

so a couple of things i did today, i made a little rack for the ballasts and timers, going to also be throwing a tri meter on it with another ballast next round, also put the control bucket on the ground (off the platform) to allow the pots to all fully drain as i believe this is a big problem with the system. the water seems to get stagnate even with the flood cycles i believe the main reason for this is that the entire system is black and just attracts heat so the water in the buckets get very hot in very little time so with the full drainage maybe this will allow the chill water coming from the res will remain chill and not get stuck in the pots. we will see though.
