Thanks guys. Bumped up nutes and closed room door to bring nighttime temps up. It's normally hot here so I usually leave the door open. Plants have perked up. Thanks again.

Came back from a long weekend to see the picture below. Ph had spiked to 7.5, not sure how long the plants were in it. Was 6.0 3 days prior. Thinking some ph burn? I normally run 350ppm on young plants, diluted it for recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Rubbermaid dwc Blue Plantet...

Little different but a proven technology in hydro/aquaponic set ups. Some guys run slow speed motors to rotate the tube slowly so all sides get light. Local berry farm run about 60 of these. Top of pipe has a drip feed, bottom of the pipe is capped and has a nipple for nute drain into a...

Well I have some fem Sour Diesel and White Rhino inbound.

Bout to start a DWC vertical SCROG. I'm running BC Big Bud, I'll go my sativa strain my next grow. I want stretch to help fill the screen. I'll be vegging horizontal before flipping vertical during flower. Should I run the 600w dimmable low power and high to make it stretchy. I have a few...

Well I've got a dimmable ballast so I can run the 600w high under reduced power to get stretch. Going to use either a 32w T5HO I used for a small coral propagation tank or a T8 with grow bulbs I used to grow macro algaes for initial lighting for the seedlings. Got the seeds in a paper towel...

Should I do my veg under a single high 600 then flower with a stacked pair? You horizontal vegging under the CFL to encourage stretch? I plan on topping this grow and maybe a monstercropping for my second.

Man... How long will I have to veg to fill 48" diameter circle with 3 plants lol. Not even countinvertical growth. I'm guessing growing with the light 2' above the plant tops with them in a horizontal screen to promote stretch?

I do plan on running a true circular, vertical grow. Keep the light high enough to keep everything green but stretchy. That's how I usually guess placement on my corals, move them up until they quit stretching :) I noticed that in Whodat's thread he's running his lights in a 36" diameter with...

Thank for the information. I'll just have to run these and order some new seeds.

I've got BC Big Bud seeds on hand. I think it's indica heavy... I'll try a different strain next. I think I have a 150w from an old coral propagation tank I could use, just keep it far away to make the plants stretch during veg or use the 600 with more distance?

So here's the plan. - 2x600w HPS - 3@5g DWC buckets with 1 plant each. Buckets on dolleys. I need to keep plant count low. - V-SCROG screen attached to dolleys. The vertical screen will have either bent PVC or wood cut to give 24" arc on a roughly 24" diameter. When pushed together...

Some are running 5x3w emitters but general consensus in reef tanks is the 3x3w don't have the heating problems and seem to have fewer QC problems. Cooling probably isn't an issue for indoor growers running the bigger fans. Reef keepers generally won't use anything larger than a couple of PC...

Some of the ebay GU10 builders will custom blend your emitter colors for the same price.

I can't recall seeing any GU-10 lights here. We use them in reef tanks, simple, fast and cheap. There any particular reason they're not being used for indoor lighting? Here's a link to the thread that pretty much started it all for reef keepers...

I plan to use one 5 gal bucket per plant, each bucket on a wheeled dolley with the V-SCROG screen attached to each dolley (I'm forced to keep plant numbers low, VSCROG seems the most logical way to increase yield per plant.) For maintenance I'll just roll the bucket dolley if I have difficulty...

Most people run the lights 10-12" from the plant giving a circumference of 20-24" ? I'm planning a 360 DWC, I have aquaponics experience, running a 400g, goldfish fueled, hybrid ebb and flow/NFT system. I do appreciate the help.

Thanks for the information. Another light is about the same price as a light mover, operating cost is higher though.

Doing room planning research. Vertical seems most effective use of light. How much vertical coverage does a 600w HPS have? How tall should a vertical scrog screen be? Light placement? I'm assuming you keep the light centered or upper third between top of container and top of plant as it...

I'm in the same region so we have very similar climates. Neighborhood has minimal foot traffic and I have few visitors. I'm thinking a dehumidifier and possibly a portable a/c unit. Thanks for your help.
