That was a fun read. From what I understood more power beats special spectrum? The specs on the Cobs say the 5K has a higher Lumen to Watt. Perhaps I should go with the 5?

I have been eyeing A51 LED for a few years now and boy have things changed a lot over the years. I currently clone, start and veg indoors under 6 - 48" T-8's. I used to use 6 each 6500 K Fluorescents, but noticed better veg growth when I went with 4 6500's and 2 2700's. My question. I am...

Yeah u do no want to make your own. You will have to constantly recharge he air that gets dissolved in the water. a lot of people throw out old pressure tanks in ro systems, those should be good for80 psi and come cheap. home depot also sells...

I will probably be burned for heracy but do NOT use acid to bring the PH down. Leave it high 8.0 is great. It's not ideal for roots, but it stops all the nasty from rotting your base stems. Once you get roots, you can lower the PH (with mild ferts most likely), but not until then. Seriously...

With clones I highly recommend using tap water. Change it every 3 days. if you want to get fancy and to save water you can a bit of chlorine added every 3 days. I use a diluted pool shock every 3 days till roots. Whenever you get slime, run baking soda tap water through it. it won't hurt...

Well, It is probably too late, I already switched it. Since this is my first vert grow, I'l just leave it as it is for now. If they start to stretch too much, ill yank some fan leaves though. Thanks for the input, much appreciated. Here is a current shot, the one in the front is del la haze...

Well I switched. Last night they ran 12. Left em off for 18 hours before, and have them now running 12-12 on at night. I'll take some pictures tonight. Have a clone table in the same basement hopefully my light proofing is sufficient, I figure the pictured room is about as dark as a moon...

They sprouted 5 weeks ago put em in full dwc 2 weeks ago. switched to HPS 3 days ago for stretch. currenty on 18 off 6. Running pretty hot 1000 ppm GH Flora DWC can get outa control, think its time to switch? Pictures show when placed in dwc 2 weeks ago (blue light), and today( orange...

Wow nice. was that a Cali connection seed or a clone? Cheers

It dawned on me that you may are probably bleeding light through the white pvc. That is a huge problem and can be solved with some mylar or tinfoil Christmas wrapping. Take a piece outside and hold it up to the sun, do you see any light through the wall?

Bingo ryder. Run strong h2o2 then flush and switch to the microbe tea. If you can take it apart use dish soap and warm water to scrub any bio film. Baking soda is good to use as a cleanser also. This shit is real tough to get rid of so try not to depend to much on the h2o2 to disinfect...

The reason your tds gauge is going nuts is due to the electrometric frequency emitted by your digital ballasts. It is the nature of the technology though some ballasts are better shielded than others. Here is some info i found, apparently lumatek is good, i just ordered one when the il...

New water, this time I didn't add tea since I had an abundance of brown goodness in the rez and the PH is holding solid. I pumped out 99% of the water, but didn't flush or rinse. New water is 800 PPM and plants have responded nicely. I think they are coming along quite good and the lack of...

I phucked up and tried to dwc, without compost tea, think8g since I got my ne gear, I shouldn't have any light leaks, plus I ran some pool shock. Needless to say it did not work. I flushed my system by reducing the water level to a quarter, and put about 10 ml per gallong of h202. ran the...

Yeah good call, I mean to find a more permanent home for it soon. Need to pick up a longer 3/8 tube next time I go to hd:D

Been a long time ROI fan, and am finally going to start a grow log for my babies. I am growing 2 plants which I have been growing for about a year and a half, though i just went hydro 6 months ago. Plants on the left side, in the 4x4 tent are an unknown sativa strain which I got from a club...
