I raised my light and am now comfortable with setup. I am currently running the 250HPS and the 250 MH.
Still doing small tweaking on system, but overall it is running great!

What is a normal EC reading with PPM at 550?

There was a reply to my question from someone on this thread yesterday, b ut it is gone today. What happened? Did person erase it? I was going to give thanks for the advice, but don't know the name to praise.

thanks though.

Why remove a reply from a thread? Are the cops on to me and you are cutting all ties?

sounds like a line from a Jim Carey role.

Check this out. I've been stopping by a neighbor in the same townhouse complex for a year or two now to "burn" in his garage with he and his girlfriend. I have been stopping by less frequently with my school and working lately, but for the last few weeks his live-in girlfriend has been name-calling and a true CUNT (I never use that word).

In the past month or so she has voiced considerable disapproval of me hanging out whenever she is around and has resorted to calling and referring to me as NIGGER in my presence. I have replied with, "fuck off you stupid bitch, go cook some dinner you slutty wench", as she walked away to cook his dinner which she refused to cook for him until I left.

He is caucasian-Irish, I think, with a bit of a short fuse, and she is Mexican-american Indian.

I ride my mountain bike every chance I get; I get my HEAD and my headset on and cruise around town. For studying breaks I commonly ride around our complex to clear my head; and when I'm bored, I ride quite a distance sometimes to find a high vantage point to see sunset. I live between urban and rural areas, dense with mountains and rock ranges.

Anyhow, he and I built a growbox in his garage using mostly my ideas and plans. Well that was disastrous and I learned a valuable lesson.

He is a cool guy that tinkers with/fabricates extreme on/off vehicles and has a garage full of tools and likes building and fabricating devices like myself. So I stop by almost daily. We have a system for determining whether I should stop at his garage when he is in it or just keep riding past. I ask him often if I am stopping by too often, and he is the type to tell me yes if I were. Actually, he has told me and I'm fine with it.

What do I do? I enjoy going by and I think he likes the distraction from his projects, but everytime she comes in and starts cussing and dropping the Nbomb.

I'm going to be mature no doubt, but I will reply a insult to keep it balanced. Nothing racial of course, just in regard to her fat ass and chubby cheeks.

Reply, I'm looking for a good solution.

The grow pictured is not the grow He and I began in his garage.

Can anyone tell me how wet I should keep my rockwool? I read "splotchy" with wet and dry spots is best.

drynroasty · #26 09-15-2008, 05:28 AM

I'm just starting to see tap root growing thru rockwool and on to to net pot. How much space would you recommend to keep between rockwool and bubbling surface of nutes (the air gap)?

I've read that 1 Inch is a good start?

I am doing a screen grow also and am not sure when and where to top, or is I should at all. I realize that if I top, I will fill my screen better, but where should i make my first top cut?

I think I will set the screen 8 inches above pots and let them grow horizontal from there. Each baby will have 1 foot of screen to fill. Any help from the experienced would be great.

After cutting back water and drying rockwool some, everything is looking great. Biggest one is 10 cm and I am considering cloning to get my 4th site filled.

I figure that if I cut now the sprouts will have time to catch up in size, because of the shock slow down from cutting.

Is there some way to change the title of this thread?

Here are some more photos.

I'm hoping you pros will comment on what conditions I am experiencing. Everything seems to be going well, but the sprouts seem to have paused in height but have opened a second set of pointy leaves right above the round leafs. The rockwool the sprouts is in was pretty much dry last night so I dipped the bottom 1/4 inch in solution and set back in bubbler. the baskest are just barely wet on the bottom and hydroton (1 layer under rockwool with sprouts) is wet.

Look at the height of these kids. If I top the larger (Purple Kush) and start a clone from cutting, I can fill the fourth spot in my box.

Do you think the timing will be good to flower all at the same time with each reaching about the same height?

I'm hoping the sprouts catch up to the Kush and her clone during the time they are recovering from the cutting. Is there a way to slow the growth down so i can get them all the same height?

any help would be great.

What do you guys/gals think of my setup?

drynroasty · #29 09-18-2008, 12:37 PM

A question I'm still not sure of the answer:

Should I run both a 250MH and a 250HPS at the same time for increased lumens?

OR

Should I just run the MH for veg and the HPS for flower?

What are pros and cons, considering that I keep the heat down?

Here is what I got now and these are the true temps. Outside temp (the highest) is the temp inside the glass of my light setup, not the temp where the babies are.
