yeah i figured the tray was 2'x2' ... how much bigger does the reservoir make it?

sorry for 20 questions, but i've been thinking of getting one and i don't know if it will fit in my tent.

i have a growlab80 tent that's 2'7"x2'7", do you think it will fit?

Reservoir Stuff:

10/18/09
700 ppm / 1.4eC; 6.4pH
Added 20ml pH Down to 5.8pH

10/19/09
800 ppm / 1.6 eC; 6.1pH
No additions to the tank.

I think the shock from transplant has worn off and they appear to be growing again.

I measured it, and if you use it as it was set up, it is exactly 2'7" long by 2' wide. I will probably fit.

Due to the new coco in the net pots, the reservoir fills up with fine junk pretty quickly during the first reservoir cycle. I decided to change the reservoir tonight with the "Mild Growth" solution. (880 ppm)

12 gallons tap (350 ppm / 0.7 eC; 7.8pH)
SuperThrive 15ml
Gro 120ml
Micro 60ml
Bloom 60ml
Floraliscious Plus 15ml
FloraBlend 120ml

850 ppm / 1.7 eC; 6.8pH
Added 50ml pH Down to 6.0 pH.

I normally target 5.8pH, but I don't like to drop the pH more than 1.0 in a 24 hour period. I will fine tune to 5.8pH in the morning. I also backed the floods down to 15 minutes every 4 hours. Temp 77F; RH 40%.



Side view:


I'll probably start LST in a week or so....

I noticed a few fungus gnats flying around the tent and decided to spray the top of the coco with GoGnats! and water. The cedar oil is supposed to make the medium a nasty place to lay eggs. Unfortunately, the spray bottle had a malfunction and I got a buttload of the mix on one of the plants. I tried to clean it with distilled water, but the damage came quickly. It's plant number 4, and has always been the runt of the litter....

OUCH:


The remainder of the plants look healthy with good internode spacing...

The damaged plant is on the front right of the pic:


Side view showing good growth:


They seem to be taking the "Mild Growth" mix well, so I will change the reservoir to "Growth" (920 ppm) mix this weekend. LST to start next week also.

Any tips, tricks or advice are always appreciated!

The lady at the hydro store recommended I try Nutrilife's SM-90 (http://www.nutrilifeproducts.com/pro...norganic/sm90/ ) for fungus gnat control. The product's active ingredients are Coriander Oil, Sulphonated Canola Oil, and Triethanolamine. In addition to it's wetting properties, the Sulphonated Canola Oil and Coriander are supposed to kill the bastages in the growing medium.

I added 35ml (3ml/gallon) to the reservoir on Friday with no ill effects shown. In addition, I mixed 50ml tap, 10ml SM-90 and 1ml Floraliscious Plus for a foilar spray, and hit the plants twice yesterday.

Plants look happy with the treatment.

Mixing up my next reservoir, and will update with pictures later today.

Mixed up a new batch of GH "Growth" mix:

12 gallons tap (350 ppm / 0.7 eC; 7.8pH)

SM-90 35ml
SuperThrive 15ml
Gro 150ml
Micro 90ml
Bloom 30ml
Floraliscious Plus 15ml
FloraBlend 120ml

1050 ppm / 2.1 eC; 6.9pH
Added 85ml pH Down to 5.8 pH.

Plants are coming along nicely. In general, they are about 4" tall and 6" wide. They are starting their 5th set of leaves, and internode spacing is generally tight. The leaves are curling upward somewhat due to my low humidity levels. I have added a cool mist humidifier to the tent in hopes of raising RH.

The back forty:


Although bone-white root tips are starting to poke out the sides of the netpots, I may be upgrading tents this week and I don't want the extra weight of the hydroton when I swap the tents out. I will fill in with hydroton when I make my tent decision.


Here's some shots of my best and worst plants:

Any advice, tips or tricks are always welcome.
