Thanks for the encouragement Unity - much appreciated! I haven't really run into much info about EC (mS/cm) values related to nutes - most of what I've seen has been ppm related. Good to know about EC being more standard - I like standards :-P Anyhoo, I checked my EC the past couple of days...

Yesterday afternoon I picked up my cool tube. I didn't get around to putting it in thanks to work. :evil: This afternoon I started to get the pieces together and came to the quick realization that it was gonna be too long for my room :( CRIPES!!! I was able to get to the hydro shop about 10min...

Well, I've been presented with yet another "opportunity" in the ventilation arena. The addition of the intake blower did nothing for my flower room temps - still topping out over 90 degrees (the 87 degree run I spoke of previously was a fluke in that it was an extremely cold day). The only...

Today (yesterday now) was a busy day in the grow rooms. Started the day changing out the nutrients (clean/rinse/rinse/refill). Decided that since the plants seem to be drinking more that I'd go with 10gal in my tank rather than the previous 5gal. I also upped the nutrients to the level I'm...

My job has been bleeding into my "fun time" a lot lately - grrr. Managed to sneak away for an hour this afternoon and went to the hydro shop to picked up an intake fan and fittings for it. Now I just have to hope I can find an hour or so tomorrow to put it in... Plants are looking pretty good -...

Yep - the one's I have are the 4 inchers. My space is pretty small, so I did all my ventilation with the cheap 4" dryer ducting.

Actually yes they have - I guess I forgot to mention that... Overall I think I did it properly - just wish I had done it a little earlier, but live and learn... The attached pictures show the new sprouts pretty decent - you can see them on either side of the little brown spot (where they were...

Nice - gonna have to check that out. My old hand scale, the kind you clip a bag to and let dangle, isn't gonna cut it once I get my setup runnin :bigjoint:

Thanks a lot man! :mrgreen: I'm hoping that "working it out aloud" will help me keep track of things better, help any other newbs figure this all out, and the feedback of the people here is invaluable! If you mean the flange on the ceiling in the attached picture, that's actually a 1 way...

Nice setup man - look forward to seeing this get skunky :bigjoint:

Lookin yummy man! Very nice setup :bigjoint:

Thanks, and good luck backatcha!!! bongsmilie

These were all started from bag-seed and have been in the dripper tub for just about 5 weeks. I haven't done any clones yet, maybe in the next week or so, but found signs of preflowers while still in Veg. Apparently once the plant is sexually mature it'll throw out these preflowers, therefore...

Hmm, Are you using rockwool in your system, or just pellets? I have the "Mr Green" combo going, and am a bit afraid to run that much water through the rockwool for fear that it'll get over-saturated/over-watered. Am I freaking out over nothing? I checked my res a bit ago and it was at 6.0 -...

I haven't checked that - what's the best way? Collect the runoff in a separate container and check it there?

Warning: Some of the attached photos are a bit ugly. Started to see the brown spots here and there on another couple of plants, so decided to look into my water a bit more. After some digging online I was able to find my water company's monthly water report. Turns out my "hard water" is not...

I'm so flippin pumped! It would appear that #8 is showing some preflowers. Even though it's a little gimpy lookin it's still growing like crazy. Here's a couple of closeups (best I can do), but they look pretty convincingly GIRL to me. I've also attached a couple images of preflowers I've found...

Thanks for the advice on the drippers. I've heard they are prone to cloggage, so have been keeping a close eye on them daily. So far so good, but if I do run into issues I'll definitely give the method you outlined above a shot. What you describe seems to be how Prnkstr's system is setup - is...

I have mine set to water 3x per day for 10min each time (lights on 24hr). The dripper tips I have are 2 gallon per hour, so it's about .2gal of nutes per cycle. I've experimented a lot, and am trying to stay on the slightly drier side. I was definitely overdoing it previously (20min every 4hrs...

Thanks - that's what I was going for. Hard for me to do it much different when I didn't know anything about growing when I started :D The hardest parts of this process, thusfar, has been figuring out a nutrient schedule and deciding on the dripper timing. In the Mr Green videos he doesn't...
