dont worry about a little n deffiency this late in the game, i use coco in fabric grow bags and get some great growth rates....almost as good as my old flood and drain, but yeah with coco watch out for mg def. and ca. also, coco has a way of locking out trace minerals for some reason, also next time if you do a full coco grow remember that it likes to be flushed once a month or so as it tends to hold on to salts, im on my 3rd coco grow so i have picked up a few little tricks along the way that help out, like every 2 weeks or so give them a shot of cal-mag, but shit your plants look killer so who am i preaching to....haaa

Phed em the other day runoff is at about 6 or so roughly, need an electronic meter. I can't wait, just about day 20 now Month to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a cooltube reflector today, only prblem I am having is finding a way to get it in my tent and take up as little room as possible. This wouldn't be so hard but the cooltube is 6in. and all my current ducting, fans, filter, etc are all 4in. I have a 6 to 4in. reducer on it but it is taking up ALOT of room already, dunno how it is gonna work out but I will have something figured out here soon. Going to run one end off my carbon filter to the cooltube, then out of the cool tube out of the tent to the fan, and outside. Sound like a good plan? this in the end is goin to give me about anouther 6-8in. of growing room if not maybe a little bit more. Can't wait to get it all hooked up, the SS is starting to strech out and has almost caught up with the WB. I imagine it will eventually outgrow it.

I have the same problem with space and my cooltube. I have my fan, filter, and 6" tube all inside but it was not easy. I thought about putting my fan outside like you are planning. That would free up more space inside like you mentioned. The downside to that is your fan will be on the hot side of the light. This will shorten the life of your fan. Up to you. Either way will work fine.

my fan has been on the outside since it was hooked up, ur the first one to say anythig bout it shorting the life cycle. I guess it would make sense tho, gonna get the cooltube hooked up today

Here are some more pics of my girls, The cola on my WB is getting HUGE!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe how fast it is developing, they are both starting to show trics good. If ya look close on a few of the pic u can see em.
I tried to hook up the cooltube I got, and after I got everything hooked up the ballast doesn't work. Luck for me I didn't buy the ballast I was gonna trade my buddie my 400 watt mags for the 400 watt digital. So now I am on the hunt for a 600 watt HPS ballast to hook up to my cooltube. Plan on using my 400 watt I have now for veggin, dunno how long it will be before I can come up with the money for it tho. Will see what happens I guess

They are loving the coco, I imagine that the molasses I have been givin em for the past 2 weeks is startin to hit em good. Budz are just swelling
As long as you check the ph of your water and use the right amount of nutes u will have no problems. I water them untill water starts running out of the bottom, that is one of the beautiful things about coco is you CANNOT over water your plant because the coco will only hold so much water and drain the rest off. I water everyother day and go back and forth between nute and molasses. I don't mix it with any thing, I just buy the bolcks put some water on em and go to town. if ya have anyother questions just ask. Thanks for keepin up with the grow man
