I have this system, what schedule do you use for watering your plants? I was using 15 minutes three times a day but noticed alittle yellowing in my girls, so I have shut off the water for the past day, the bubbler is still on. The rockwool is still moist. My girls are just over an inch tall and not even a week old yet. Any info would be greatful as this is my first grow ever.

Hey Az...know you got me convinced about that hempy stuff. I slowly making plans as we speak. Been doing a lot of research on the growing medium. I have about decided you dead right on the pure Perlite. Lot of that exotic stuff holds too much water. That Turface stuff I spoke of earlier would have to be 4 to 1 with Perlite to make it suitable. About like adding the vermacellite (sic) to the brew as advocated by some on here. Give it a slight mo betta water holding ability than the pure Perlite..but would not make it just sopping ass wet and stay that way for a long time as would the pure Turface. I learnt a lot about this over in the orchid and bozai tree making formus just today. Otherswise I been busy working in the garden..wink wink. AG. Topping..LST'ing..adding 3 mo additional curly tail 150 Watt bulbs. It getting a little crowded in there. Hope it dont catch fire :joint:

Well just to let you know I'm serious about this bizness bought two bags of Perlite at the Wally World store just today. I have also been sniffing around for buckets. I have read your Hempy Collective several times over. You think one gallon is plenty big enough I think? Thanks. I also need some good lights and am going to have to expand my growspace..figger out how to vent it..blah blah blah. Lot of things to consider here.

depending on the size you want your plant to finish at a 1gal is enough...if you want bigger plants like 4+feet an several oz's i suggest 2-5gallen.....peace az

Guess I had best stick with the 1 gallon size. My growspace aint gonna hold no full growed Christmas Tree:) I got two growing fairly well in the AG but I'm afraid one is getting too big. No telling how big it be at end of flower. Too big for AG I think. Whut would you think if I moved them over to Hempy Buckets to flower? What would be the procedure etc? Thanks. Would sure hate to lose em..they are sorta like kids to me..sniff sniff. I'm have vegged thus far CFL lights even if it kills me and them I]m gonna flower with em too. I dont know anything about them SOB's etc. They both got purty good sized root balls.

I don't know anything about your cabinet, but moving a plant from sunlight to inside light, especially under flouros, is a difficult step down for the plant. It sounds like your plant is still small, so she will adapt quickly. Keep those lights 1 inch from the foliage.

I am running a DWC system for my first grow ever and it is going along quite well. I am concerned, however, because the nodes coming from main stems that would normally chunk up and form one big cola are looking underdeveloped, stringy and skinny. I am doing nothing to create CO2, but I have good ventilation and cool air coming in to regulate temp, which is normally between 76 and 81 F. The system is hard to flush because I did not consider putting a valve on to make that step easier, so it doesn't get done weekly, more like monthly.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

What you described sounds great, but you didn't mention the light used. That is a main cause for stringy buds, unless it's strain related. So what light and how close?

I am using two 400W HPS lights, I have kind of shitty reflectors, and they are about 9 inches away form the tops of the tallest colas. There is no more room because they are so tall the light is on the ceiling of my room, which is the consequence of a long veg, I believe... like I said, first time.

The strain is somango.

Thanks.

Two lamps are better than one, and you should be able to grow some nice buds with those. I would say to let them grow, in the last third of flowering they will fill out. You didn't say what day of flowering your plants are on, so if it is before Day 50, then let them finish flowering before getting concerned.

Today is the 72nd day of flower... I am planned to clip within the next two weeks. Should I be extra concerned?

I was also wondering if the fact that I have no sort of CO2 intake to the room would have an adverse affect on flower density?

I'll try to get some pics to attach so you can see it.
