At least most of the damage was on the bottom leaves. How do you have your cfls positioned? I am no expert, but heat rises so I am curious how the bottom ones sustained most of the damage. Do you have a fan to circulate air?

I just recently switched to using GH FloraMicro Hard Water. I assume that is what you are referring to. As far as a C02 gen in the tent...with only the rainforest in there I am sure there would be enough room. I intend on getting a larger tent down the road and then using my current one for...

Ahh. I wasnt aware that hardness of the water had that much effect on your choices for nutes. A RO system is something I am looking at getting (that and a C02 gen), but I need to wait a little bit to recover from spending the $2,000+ on my current setup.

Yeah I got a little over zealous after seeing the low numbers on my meter. I also heard that you shouldnt adjust PH more than 0.2 per day, but there were several times I adjusted it from around 6.4 to 5.9. It didnt seem to phase the plants too much. Hopefully the large increase in nutes dont...

If they are too stretched and have weak stems try providing more light, or getting them closer to the light. Also, throw an oscillating fan in there. That will simulate wind and the stems will strengthen up. I dont do soil, but watering every day seems to me like a lot of watering. From what...

I have never done clones before, but I imagine you can use other mediums as long as it can hold in solution and keep the cutting up. I am not a big fan of rockwool at this point, anyways. I initially got some to start my first grow, and it took me all of about 1 hour to go back and get some...

Longer post today... The yellowing on plant 4 is noticeably worse today, and plant 3 is starting to yellow slightly in the same manner. PPMs were extremely low today. I guess I wasnt really prepared for the sudden, rigorous spurt they are going through right now. I topped off the reservoir...

I didnt get around to actually posting yesterday's update so I am doing it today. I noticed the new growth on plant 4 was starting to yellow at the base of the leaf. I had just got done giving them ph balanced water due to suspected nute burn, and it looks like this plant didnt take it so...

Yeah I saw you mention that in one of your journals. How does yours work? By the definition of "siphon" I dont understand how that could be much different then what I am doing (siphoning with a regular hose). I looked them up and by looking at it I didnt understand how it worked except that...

An electric pump is exactly what I need. I have been having trouble finding one that wasn't made to drain a lake. Its easy enough to get the water OUT with a rubber hose, but getting the water back in is where its been a pain. Currently I am just lifting a net pot and tilting a rubbermaid tub...

Glad to see you here, Email! I just noticed you have the link in your sig for your new white berry grow. I am about to check that out now.

Here is how it goes... The cord from the wall -> ballast -> cord from ballast to socket There is no standard 3-prong connection on the cord coming from the socket. It will either have a specific plug for your ballast type that has the corresponding socket on said ballast, or it will have...

DAY 15 VEG - 6.18.08 ================ Ambient Temp = 74.6 Tent Temp = 77.00 Humidity = 58% Original PH = 5.8 Adjusted PH = not adjusted PPM = 480 Pics of plants 1-6 in order (the picture of the ballast is for assrabbi):

Wow I have to say those look pretty good for 5 weeks! Nice.

You will need a ballast. A ballast boosts electric conditions to start the lamp and them maintains a constant current for continued operation.

Well I have the 600w digital ballast from HTG Supply. So far is awesome. Digital ballasts are cool to the touch, start faster, and use slightly less electricity while putting out slightly more lumens through the bulb. I also understand that they don't cause the light to dim over time like...

Thanks guys. Lets hope I can keep it up! It is looking like I am going to have to finish this up by the beginning of September because my girl and I decided to move when our lease is up in this apartment. Its either finish them or move them, and I am not sure I feel comfortable with the...

I like the rainforest so far. Now...in order to drain it I would recommend some sort of pump. I am actually using a siphon hose and doing it the old fashioned way (like you would siphon gas from a car). To refill it I have a 18 gallon tub that I fill halfway, do half nutes, and put it in...

I second LoudBlunts vote on the Secret Jardin. I am currently using one with great results.

Well I would hesitate to say that all tents are equal...
