ok thank you, I have read this post about 3 times now it is a lot to take in all at once, so sorry if I ask annoying questions. I do try to search and find the answer if I can first though.

Again Thanks a lot for all the knowledge shared with in this thread!!!!
you will know when you have actually pissed off SS:) Ask the questions and don't worry about them being too simple, it gives others a chance to pass on the knowledge. As SS told me once, if you don't get a response it is WAY too simple a question!!!

I just got back from checking on the girls and Hooray! no drooping today, all the healthy girls are still healthy. Damn that was weird, I never seen anything like it, I was sure those 4 were dead. I still have 2 pineapple chunk that the rest of the plants weren't willing to wait on. Anyone here grow the pineapple chunk with any success?

Thanks again for the replies yesterday, feeling much better today :)

Hopefully one day I'll be able to answer them myself!

Anyway I made a short trip to Lowe's today and picked up my 4.75x4.75x98 rails, some 1/2" pvc and fittings, and 3 strong boxes. And guess what? they too had the old grey lids, but not the old style container that they fit so I too ended up with yellow ones. :evil:

Also the fed ex guy showed up today with a load of stuff I ordered from plantlightinghydroponics.com just yesterday!!!! :mrgreen:

Hey ss I saw that botanicare has added vitamino to their "advanced formula recipe", which uses that and everything else in your formula - but in different strengths. I guess it's a new product. Have you tried it? Thought about adding it? I've been using your formula with good success so far and am grateful.

save the holes that you cut out of the rails!!! Take a PVC cutter and quarter them, use them as clips to hold the net pots in place in the rails! Use stainless steel screws to attach!

Just figured I would throw out an update, everything has looked great since the first day of flower with the droopy leaves, I think they were just tired like SS said. Thankfully.

Here is a couple of picks, when into flower cycle Monday. Most of the clones went in last Friday. Even got some baby root porn.

looking good! When you make any new cloners, cut the hole for the pump cord with a 1 inch hole saw, or something close to that, cut or drill a hole in a collar for the cord, and take a razer blade and make a cut all the way around the side of the collar! It will fit the hole perfectly without leaking!!

I have made some progress in my veg room! I have around 8 weeks until I can start on the flower room though. :-?
looks good! When you paint the lids, wipe em down with thinner or something like that before you paint them, since I started doing that, they seem to hold the paint a lot better!! Make sure ya give the several days to dry too

I used an automotive product called something like liquid sandpaper. It's made for making paint stick in areas where it is hard to sand, like door jambs. Worked great.

Haha I just got home from painting them and opened the thread to see these reply's. The funny thing is I did paint them before the pics, but the paint didn't stick (just washed right off with a pressure washer). So this time I scuffed them with scotch bright pads, washed them with paint thinner and used this kind of paint. Hopefully it will stick this time!
