Wow, I've come a long way from here. Sorry for the bump on the old thread guys, but it was a little nostalgic to see my old (dead) plant and how noob I was then. Switched to Hydro and now my first attempt is ongoing. =) Looks a lot better eh? Grow log is on my signature if you're...

Day 19 (12/8/2013) 5:30pm: Checked pH and ppm today; a reading of 7.0 pH and 110 ppm was recorded. Hypothesize that due to pH imbalance, nutes were not being absorbed causing high ppm value. Possible causes may be from an incorrect liquid pH indicator reading during initial reservoir...

Day 18 (11/8/2013) Reservoir was first checked for ppm and pH reading, which stood at 180 ppm and 7.0 pH respectively. *Note: This is why it's important to change the reservoir constantly - pH and nutrient readings will fluctuate. Reservoir changed with new readings at 85 ppm and 5.8 pH...

Day 12 (5/8/2013) First feed: Cleaned out reservoir and filled up with pH'd water with a mixture of some hydroponic plant feed and some tomato feed. Readings at 150ppm (100 nutrition, 50 tapwater). Interesting note: Did not realize how much food it takes to reach 100 ppm - Was seriously...

Day 7 (31/7/2013) Raised the lights a little to prevent growth into the bulb. Leaves are developing nicely. Black plastic bag placed on top of plant to minimize light penetration into reservoir.

Day 6 (30/7/2013) Upon inspection, plant (codename: Gaia) has grown the first set of leaves, however she seems to be stretching. Lights were lowered to about 5 centimeters away from the plant so as to prevent further vertical growth. No nutes are added yet, however a light feed (150 ppm)...

Hey, thanks for the response jumpy! Yeah, I'm thinking of cutting out a black garbage plastic bag and sticking it over the pot, will probably do the same for the rest of the setup. I'm going to use the General Hydroponics Flora Series. You planning on starting a grow log? Be interesting to see...

Hey guys, first attempt here. Feel free to jump in and comment whenever you feel like it. Thanks for helping out! Grow Room setup: 1 mother chamber, 1 veg chamber, 1 flowering chamber. Details of setup can be found here: Day 1 (25/7/2013) Seed was placed into a bowl of tap water...

If you have a carbon filter attached to the fan, then your 50 cfm kitchen fan isn't going to cut it, bear in mind the filter reduces the amount of air your fan can pull. Basically your fan is too weak for your setup - you need an inline fan for your filter to work. If your attic already has a...

If the box is in the attic and heat is an issue, you might want to consider having proper ventilation. This means an actual inline fan - maybe 4" fan with a decent cfm count, a carbon filter, and exhaust ducting to the outside. The oscillating fan isn't going to do much other than circulate air...

Going to start my grow soon, and I've done quite a bit of reading on this; best setup is to have filter -> fan -> duct, and elevate the filters high so it can get rid of the hot air for you. Like the person above said - less ducting is optimal, and try to have as few bends in the ducting as...

You're spot on with not bringing in your dabs Corey. Cultivation of the plant is punishable by a life sentence and no less than 6 strokes of caning (and this is the kind of caning that has to be meted out at intervals because it's just so goddamn painful. Think passion of christ). Possession...

Thanks renkar, will post a grow log soon and see how good they are.

Hey guys, I just received my order from The Attitude. Core order was: 5 of Nirvana's AK-48 (fem) and Bubblelicious (fem) each. As part of the July promo freebies I also got TH seeds' Akorn AKA Snowbud (fem) Underdawg OG (fem) Sage n Sour (fem) Ultrasour (fem) and G13 lab's Blue OG. Made...

Thanks shitwolf, that's a relief. I guess they upgraded their tents after all the complaints on previous models, no more plastic connectors and hooks - I'll do a more detailed review on the tent later.

Hey Prop, yeah that's a good idea, although I was trying to avoid it since I'd have to elevate my containers and my scrog a bit for some drainage room. I still have quite a bit of vertical space, although since It's my first grow not sure how long the babies are going to grow. Still, it...

I think it's fine during veg, (my previous plant didn't smell at all while it was in a cloth closet in my room) but yeah, eventually you'll have to face the odor issues and need regular air exchange to deal with it. It's good to control the temps too. What kinda lights are you using? Are you...

Hey XRangex, Thanks for the encouragement! I know that I need to control the pH (already got a ppm meter and liquid pH indicator) although I'm still a bit fuzzy about the feeding schedule. Got any tips for me on that?

Hey MMG, I checked the support beams, and it turns out that the hooks are molded from the metal itself, so it should be able to withstand the temperature changes. You still think it needs reinforcing? Thanks for all your help!

MrMeanGreen: Thanks for the tip! I was considering that too, it saves me some space and the hassle of maintaining a mother plant - although my concerns are that while waiting for the first batch to flower, I might be putting the clones in veg for too long. Will it be a problem you think...
