uhhhhhh Could be the res temp i think its about 70 it generally stays 64 with my "ice pack" but i had forgotten to be adding it. Its possible light leak though unlikely... as i turn off all lights surrounding it after 7pm.

Hmmmmmm..

the plants are just starting week 4 since friday.i just have my 9 hour drawing class today i have to be there in an hour. ill go to my grow tomorrow and take some pix for you. I don't know whats so hard to believe iv seen grows go to almost 2000 ppm at late flower.but anyways ill get back to you on that one i gotta go.

2000ppm is almost 3.0 ec... It's never advisable with even the hardiest strains to go past 2.4 ec. As this will cause nute burn and stop your plants uptaking nutrients properly. I would be very interested to know what nutes were used on these 3.0 grows.

this grow i have goin now is my first hydro grow. iv done a few soil grows but was not too satisfied with results too much. im trying to go for efficiency this time with lower wattages. i vegged with 80 w flouro tubes and am flowering with 175w MH. 4 clones lst'd from two different bagseeds. dont have Temp,RH or TDS readings and they are still growing with no probs.

I learned about correct EC levels from advanced nutrients. PEAKING at 2.0 ec is considered to be a very heavy feeding schedule... often with my strains when I peak at 2.0ec at mid-flower point my strains will get overnuted. Even this strain I have now when peaking at 2.0 ec at the mid-flower point my strain gets a little over-nuted at some of the leaf tips.

Advanced Nutrients study this all day every day. They have a team of scientists who's job it is to study a plants uptake of nutrients.

Some people only peak at 1.6 ec at the mid-flower point. Advanced Nutrients also recommend that after the mid-flower point that you slowly drop your ec levels. I have also found this to be true. I have found this by deliberately feeding my plants higher concentrations and watching for the results. I have also fed lower concentrations... and from that I gathered the more nutes the bigger the plant will be. But there is a balance. I've found that even peaking at 2.0ec which is a very heavy feeding schedule can lead to overnute in various strains.

On my seed grow with this strain I peaked at 2.2ec which led to a fairly heavy overnute.

1. Im impressed.

2. You are my ideal girlfriend

3. Will you marry me?

4. Oh yeah, my names GraF.

For real though, you got the hydro down... I tried doin the same thing with the rubbermaid but my clone passed so I just gave up on that and decided to stick to soil... but congrats to ya... good luck and keep in touch.

- its somethin about these asian girls that get me...

hey sorry about the deal between hindukush and me. he just can't believe that people's plants are surviving with out his technique and his perfect way of doing everything. Nature was made to be simple buddy. Anyway katie do you know the color temp. of this MH bulb?

All i know is it's a U bulb meaning universal... I dunno other than that... :(

BTW this glass is still here waiting for you, Im going to Sacramento on Holiday for Thanksgiving, but will be back, probably this weekend-ish.. Is your room still heating up?

grrr. start your own journal already though, people will read it obviously.

All this side talk has I think annoyed people from reading my actual updates. Then, no one answers my questions
