Hey Cab, Glad you figured out your ph issues.
Something I observed over about a dozen grows with different nutrients: General hydroponics 3 part, General hydroponics Flora series, Fox Farms, and Dutch Masters with all the goodies. I really couldnt see any major difference in the grows besides the fact that if you ph is off, your plants will suffer. I think you made a good choice with Advanced nutrients, they are available and got everything you need.

Oh yea, one thing, Fox Farms will turn your roots a brownish color and can clog a chiller.

Thanks Cruzer!!
I really appreciate your feed back! We haven't actually switched over yet but it is in the works. As soon as we can get to the hydro store again we will be buying the new line of nutes.

Nice grow man! Your buds are looking good and your cabs are pretty sweet. As you already know the home made co2 wont do anything if the fans are always on. I was doing home made co2 and quit for that reason. Nice grab on the mother cab

What kinda light you using?

pwizzle · Jun 11, 2010

Hell yeah Cabinet, looks like your gettin it down

Whatever strain it is, it's gonna be some straight killa.
Looks like sativa bud and leaf formation but the leaves themselves looks indica.
Gonna be nice to watch these fatten up!

Hey cabs how's things goin? I'm still on the hunt for m new cab. All roomates are going outta town this weekend so if I can find something today it could be done soon. A lot of if's but you never know.
Hydro has been on my mind lately but I'm still scared LOL. I may be a soil grow forever but then again you never now. It's starting to seem less complicated the more I read about it. So how is the new cab going any pics?

PS I'm Lovin that light rack. You ever think about a cheap 70w hps from home depot (security light) to mix in for flowering. I got mine on sale for $20 usually about $40.
Good luck bud and keep us posted on the new cab progress.

Ok.....

So due to a lucky tax refund we were able to buy the whole "hobbyist" level with Advanced Nutrients, some of which we already had. We changed out the res, rinsed the roots and put them in a new bath with new yummy food. We are stoked about the "ph balanced" nute line, hopefully it cures our ph issues. No pics tonight sorry, forgot the camera but we will post something soon.

We will show you some pics in the next few days that will blow you're mind, heh stayed tuned!!!

CabinetBuds · Jun 13, 2010

Ok so because the girls are on their sleep schedule, I wont be able to get any quality pics until tonight. I have a couple I took from my phone of the mothers last night I'll post.

Looks like our PH meter was screwed the last month or so, and thats why we were getting lock out!! We are hoping this PH stable Advanced Nutrients line will solve our problems.

Enjoy and we will try to post some good pics later tonight.

Yeah it's a security hps in a fixture it has an igniter and a transformer. I took them out and mounted them under the cab.

Hey cabinet looking good buddy glad you got the nutes figured out and the ph. Your girls ought to be happy about that.

CabinetBuds · Jun 13, 2010

I sure hope so....We will see tonight how they have taken to their new buffet!! LOL

CabinetBuds · Jun 13, 2010

Ok.... OMG Advanced Nutrients is awesome!! The improvement we have noticed over 24 hours is outrageous!! We still had to lower the ph, but it could due to our water. Check out our pics of the girls, so far we are more than satisfied with the results, hopefully it keeps up!!

I was just wondering because I am on my first grow. My first flowering plant is at 3 weeks or so into flowering. Just kinda wondering what to expect as far as progression.
