Let me get this straight. You want to take the plants out of the best system in the world and put them into a E/F system?
Dude, follow the directions exactly. You won't be sorry

I'm not sure if it was the AK47 or maybe the Blueberry. Whatever it was I have been known to partake of the sweet herb occasionally.
That's why I have all you guys along for the ride. I figure if we put all our stoner minds together we might end up having a whole brain
How many stoners does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Ehh.....Ehh...what was I saying?
Oh yea, Fuck it! Just change the lightbulb later....

Lol not if its a grow light, we better figure out how to change that pretty damn fast lol. I'm gonna say it takes 2 stoners to change a bulb, one to hold the blunt another to change the bulb lol.
Whatever strain it was sure looks sugary and delicious.

I'm really excited to see how your LEDs work. I've been researching building my own LED light. Even the parts are expensive. I would like to try one on my 6 plant aero/NFT system. It could end up being a perfect small closet solution because of the lack of heat.
Not to mention the cost of power. If you live in an apartment you have to watch using too much power. LEDs would be a perfect solution.
Over the next few years the cost will come down and the LEDs will get more powerful. I foresee that eventually LEDs will rule the closet grow.
I wouldn't be suprised to see LEDs made specifically for the PAR spectrum of plants. Plant don't need the whole light spectrum. Red with a little blue is actually all they use to grow.
Let us know it it goes...

What I find interesting is the hybrid approach I use solves all the problems they talk about with large plants.
The cycle timer allows the roots to receive air time they don't get when the water is constantly running over them.
The sprayers oxygenate the water and also apply it evenly to the entire root mass at the same time.
It's funny how us pot growers are able to solve problems the experts can't!

I firmly believe that marijuana is capable of solving many of the worlds problems. Housing materials, clothing, medicine, automotive fuels(hemp oil + modified diesel engine= 100% renewable fuel + cleaner burning fuel). If we all work together like the community we need to be on this planet, then we have the answers in front of us, all we have to do is implement them. I bet "captain planet" is pro marijuana. lol He's our hero.

hehe and to add to the story, i took 'inspiration' from your thread and tried to make a "better and improved' version.
long story short mine pisses water from 20-30 different leaks
but version 2 is on the drawing board!

Hey Stink -
first off congrats on the High Times thing! Everything comes back around
With regards to females - I'm actually just starting off so I do have some White Widow clones that I took from plants I grew from seed but I have no access to clones. I've purchased fem seeds where possible but they are not always offered (in the case of my Fruit of the Gods, Purple Wreck, etc.). I was able to get some Skywalker fem which is a cross between a Blueberry male and a Mazar female so I'm hoping that turns out pretty good. Obviously I'll be taking clones from this point forward when plants are the appropriate age.
Back to the pH thing...one thing that has be baffled is that my cloner unit has been rock solid with regards to pH - no fluctuations at all.
I have read that there will be some fluctuation within the first couple of days when changing a res and using organics due to the beneficial bacteria building up but who knows how much truth there is to this. I'm going to put some pictures up. Also Im uncertain if the pH rising is causing the leaf problems or if the pH is causing something like Calcium to be locked out which might make sense being that I am using reverse osmosis water and you are not..not sure though.
In any case I'll put some pictures up here so you can see that the veg unit is doing awesome even with some of the leaves doing this funky stuff. Also are pics of the cloner unit and what some of the leaves look like.

Wow,
looking at Dragon Phoenixs' pics I had a great idea (maybe) lol. Seeing what looks like industrial trash bags wrapped around the resivoir made me think along the lines of a disposable resivoir liner that would also block light.
Place the industrial trash bag inside your empty resivoir like you would a trash can. Fill the bag with your water, nutes, etc. Filling it with water would press the bag against the outer walls of the tote making it tight under the water. Install the pump/sprayers. Install the lid and then tape the bag to top edge of the lid. This would eliminate leaks also, allowing the water to return to the resivoir instead of dripping out. This will also make simple resivoir clean ups! Hope that makes sense. lol Now, I'm going to patent this before anyone else does!

Hey that's a really good idea. I bought this 3mm black poly at a local hardware store..something like 1000 sq feet for $8.
Awesome news Stinkbud, I thought I knew a good thing when I saw it, that proves it! 
I just got all my beans for the first grow, so once I get the seedlings big enough for the cloner I'm all set, I bought all the supplies to build the flower units once I get that far, seems as though thats a good six weeks of though! I'll get pics up once I have something worth seeing...

They actually look pretty good to me. Sometimes the older leaves will die. Just pick them off.Hey Stink -

In my grow book by Jorge Cervantes there is a picture that looks exactly like your plants. This is what is says." Leaf fringe standing up - Leaf fringes that point up mean the leaf is trying to dissipate as much moisture as possible, but is unable to. This could be caused by toxic salt buildup, lack of water or heat stress."
I think we can rule out lack of water. So it must be either your PPM is too high or your room is too hot.
Personally I think everything will be fine. As soon as you take them into the Aero/NFT system they will really take off.
