Uniformity is important, this is hard in a multi strain hydro setup (even canopy, even pots)

You shouldn't cut the "water leaves" off

Somethings weird with your ppm.

Whats that other plant your growing?

a 600 watt hps would do wonders.

ok good.

Its always a good practice to mount the ballast outside of the tent. Two screws and its wall mounted. Its better to mount upright as this is how the heatsink for it is supposed to work properly.

Also, pretty much every hydro system I've used has leaked at one point or another. All electrical should be kept away, and if you have to use something near (such as submersible pump) it should be plugged into GFCI on a wall. If the outlet is lower than the hydro, there should be a drip loop in the cord.

Omg! One of the drip hoses popped over the side and there was a flood! That happened yesterday and freaked me out! I moved the ballast to the table after that.

I can't wall mount any thing for about a month and a half because of the construction going on in my basement. After they finish down there I am permanently moving both tents down there and can make my setup safer and more efficient.

The picture is my tangled mess as it is right now. Scares the hell out of me.

At least hang it up outa the way

jiji is very right thats a bad situation waiting to happen

looks like you just need a few grows under your belt

Also the more you grow the more you find the importance of organization and keeping things in order
