No I just set up a bubble system to check it out, been a soil guy mostly. I'm still rooting the clones for it.

i have a few other soil plants too. my first clone just started flowering a week ago so i am stoked about that. what do u use for soil nutrients? i use my flora nova for both soil and hydro. seems to be working well.

I'm using pure blend pro only because I got some cheap, and I just use straight ffof. I used to just closet grow for years but I've had to start growing bigger to cover what I need lately.

Then after vegging plants this size I'm sick of how long it takes, that's why I'm looking into alternatives. I'm hoping to cut my veg time in half and it would be nice to not have to lift and move dirt around any more or worry about disposing of it.

nice nice man, i like what i am seeing. i dont have any where close to the space to do that so. i wanna try n get a rotating crop going hopefully after this harvest.

changed the rez tonight. took some pix in the process. after just a week the roots are lookin pretty good.

i added even more lights, so now there are 4x42 watt cfl's and 3x13 watt cfl's = 207 watts = 13200 lummens.

i also noticed that my rez temp is around 55 F when i first put the water in. will the colder water shock the plant since the rootz are used to around 68-70 F?

added 6 ml flora nova grow, .5 ml floralicouse plus, .5 ml cal-mag, .5 ml superthrive.

what do ya think?

noticed some over fert (leaf tips curling under at the tips), so dumped out the rez and put ph'd water in it with a small amount of superthrive in it. when i looked this morning the plant looked much happier. still has some leaf tip curl under but i will give it some time n see if it gets better.

how long can i run the flush for?? i was thinkin 3 day's.

I think you should show us a picture of how the lights and everything is arranged when it's on. The 13w lights might not be useful yet against the 42w until she's taller and you can spread them out. I say this because the 13w would have to be much closer and then block the light from the 42w defeating their purpose or just too far away to do any good at the same distance... Maybe, depends on how you have it.
55 degree water may be ok, sure better than too hot and colder water hold more oxygen. We can do that outside any time, but it's not the norm and you will see more purple in your stems/leaves for sure at that temp.

Turn off and remove all of them but 3 or 4 42w bulbs. The smaller lights are just throwing heat in the mix no useable light. Plus the plant is just too small for all that.

When the plant is tall enough, then add the extra's around the middle keeping in mind you don't want to cook the plant.

Have you ever read the temperature at it's hottest at plant top height with a thermometer? The hood may be detrimental trapping all that heat. Many will argue forever about how effective it can be when cfl's can't penetrate that far anyway. I'd say not very good for reflecting light but very good for reflecting heat.

i have the 4 42's on the plant now, and from flushing it looks ALOT better. still alittle leaf curl at the tips. i'll ad pix in a bit.

well i think i might have to get a HPS. my room is pretty much 5 and a half feet squared. if i get a 400W HPS cool tube would it work with my room. we will see tho.
