filter could be restricting the fan from pulling at full force as well.

Well as most do when they start a grow, they wanna go bigger. Just got a house with my roommate. Got a 3x3x6' tent with a 400whps and 4 girls going right now. thats almost too small for these 4 girls. luckily 2 are bushy and 2 are tall and skinny. Next grow we are building a "storage closet"...

400w apollo kit here with no problems. if you get one and its cold where you are, let the ballast sit out in the room and warm up to room temp. the timer they give you is POS too. i thought my ballast was blown right out of the box but ended up the timer was bad. I got a nice digital one from...

hrmm no problems here with my ventech 4" carbon filter. 37$ on amazon

yeah a 200w would need a different socket. I think he read the wrong true wattage on the package. its prolly like a 23w bulb.

Id think that it should have used up most of the nutes in the soil by now if you are into flowering. Are you sure its over fert and not underfed now and the leaves are dying off since you arent feeding? I had issues with MG mix in veg being too hot but a good flush helped clear it out. problem...

Fox Farm soil here with no complaints!

as long as the fan doesnt over power the filter you are good. otherwise the filter is just a restriction at that point.

stay away from the MG POTTING MIX. I used it for seedlings and it burned them as well like others said. youll get tons of problems every time you water with those slow release nute balls popping and leaching out more nutes. i thought the .2 - .2 - .1 would be very low but its not. enough water...

Im on my first grow right now with 4 random bag seeds. all 4 turned girls. Whats odd is they sexed while still in 24/0 on about day 30. Is this just considered a plant being mature enough or considered an Auto? All 4 did it at the same time vegged under CFLs. Flowering in a HPS now tho.

Good deal. Decisions Decisions. Not sure if ill have enough of what i have now so better to grab some extra while i have a day off.

No problems with botanicare here. 5ml of ph up sounds like way to much dude. i go by drops not ml. 15ml bloom and 5ml cal mag drops my water to about 4.25ph before adding ph up. @Yokel - Im going to take a trip to the grow store tomorrow since they are open only on weekdays and very short...

Thanks vostok. i got it all figured out. I have 30-40% perlite already. they start draining after about 64oz ( half gallon ) of water , so i know thats not my prob. ended up my ph pen was reading about .4-.5 higher, which means my phd water of 6.5 area where at like 6.0 or lower. So thats why...

Honestly id say you are leaning towards that nutes in the soil. probably too much for a 2wk old plant. I had same issue using miracle gro potting soil with slow release nutes. high ass ppm and ph run offs. the watering would activate the release nutes and to much water was causing to much over...

haha Yeah thanks. 1 plant got a 30ml water few days ago and no problematic signs so far. shes gonna get just a regular watering next tho. Will continue at 15ml from now on and see how it goes!

Correct i did get the hydro version. Ive read that it works fine in soil mediums tho. I didnt notice the soil formula until about a week ago when i was on their site. Gonna pick some up for the next go around but i think even on their site they said the hydro version was okay for soils.

well finally got my ph cal solution to find out my pen was reading high. 7.4 on 7.0 solution. so i think i can finally say my mix was too low causing soil ph to be too low and lock out cal/mag. ph was reading 5.8 in soil in some places. Finally got that fixed and hopefully all should be good.

Thanks dude! Im refering to just PureBlendPro Bloom right now i guess. not using grow since thats past due. Oddly my bottle is what is recommending it. I did a nute calculator on their site and that says 20ml peak. Gave the 1 plant 15ml bloom/5ml calmag at 6.5ph. Gonna stick to that for now...

Thanks guys! Great information. Yokel - Are you using the botanicare in the amounts they recommend or personal from experience? One of the 3gals needs a watering tonite. Just got my ph calibration solution so im about to see how off my pen is. cause i feel it is, tho its only a month and half...

Thanks Mountain, Vostok and bryle! Just wanted to make sure. Vostok brings up a good points and thats why i was curious as to so of my waterings right before lights out. Like last nite, they got back in the tent with 30seconds to spare haha.
