GS-1 hydro stones.

Another week and another water change. Starting to clean up the lower branches and a few are in need of some tie downs. Plants have massive stalks and look to be progressing as we'd hoped.

This is where I do my CO2 equipment shopping. http://www.titancontrols.net/products/co2-devices/ares-8-burner-co2-generators.aspx . You can get a small refillable tank and regulator at most grow shops for around $350 but have to get the tank refilled which can be a pain in the ass.

Sounds more like a problem with flush. 2 to 3 weeks is recommended.

Looks much better. Now if we can keep the light out and keep the water temps a bit lower I think you'll be good to go.

You can try to wipe it off, just remember that you are tugging on roots. Q tip might work for tighter spots.

Once you get a run or two behind you it will be as easy as it really is and you'll look back and laugh about it.

No, flush it all out and use clean water and nutes. The shit is like acid and will burn your skin like nothing. Wife one sat on a drop and it caused a 1/2 dollar size burn on her cheek.

Yes it matters, you want no light what so ever in the tub. Roots hate light and bad shit loves it. Even covering it with a very thick black heafty trash bag cut down would help. Then go looking for black/silver ect totes.

Sounds good. And anything you put in with the h202 will be wasted so don't bother. Yes, 24 to 48 hours flush it all out and start over with fresh nutes and water.

H2-02 should be put in alone as a flush with water for a day or two, not mixed with solution. I think part of your problem could stem from temps but other signs show it's also some type of buildup. From either unwanted bacteria or residuals from heavy chemicals. Any light glowing through the...

Hard to say not knowing what nute system you use and the effects it has. I use a very clean system so no build up. I like the flush/Clean with a product called h2o2. Clears up slim and most other issue's around the roots. Does your system have a root system protector ? Mine has one and it's...

Our ph levels change due to uptake. As the plant eats the ph levels change accordingly, ph chemicals used to adjust also break down and then there is always evaporation which doesn't take heavier salts. I would suggest water/nute changes every week through the entire grow, and finding a nute...

We change ours every week like clock work with a water top off every day veg and flower with Ph levels 6.0 and above. We use a concentrate up and down which controls levels longer than the basic brands. Basic brands are made of a handful of different chemicals and breaks down much faster...

Right now you are not far enough in to worry about nodes. If you cut, cut for height. Then see how low you can get your light to the plant so it keeps it from stretching so much. Less energy spent shooting up is more energy for branching out and the nodes will be closer together. Give them...

We've gotten gnats a time or two over the years so we lay down sticky traps. That's it.

Looked through the entire thread man and I'm still scratching my head. Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad you've had success.

Has anyone suggested a larger air pump and more stones ?

I use 4, 2 small and 2 large from veg all the way through the entire grow and add another 8 large at the start of flower. Then throw them and all of the line and the net pot/basket away after harvest. Starting with new stones and lines on the next run.

Here are a few pic's to show you what I mean. I start at the stem and slide my fingers up the leaf gather the ends together, then I tare the ends off. I'll do this on 3 or 4 of the lager leaves and it will stimulate root growth.
