Hey thanks for everyting man, i was wondering. my room is cool and so is the air blowing around in it. i have the fans blowing on the bulb/hood/ just under the light, and two more fans blowing half way down the plants.
so its not always lack of water that makes tips or leaves dry up? so heat stress, from light being too close?

another question for ya, what about watering, i have them set on 3 times a day while the lights are on for an hr and fifteen mins a watering. im also running a half hr water in the middle of the night so its not 12 hrs of no water. IS THIS ENOUGH, or should i up the watering. im useing grow rocks, with the plant orig started in rockwool. should i try to max out how much water intake the plant takes in?> i have read but i have noticed even on mine sometimes everything is just diffrent.

Low humidity can also cause the tips to dry up, but this really isn't a huge deal. You're in decent shape if your only concern is some dried leaf tips.

I know it's not recommended to feed during the dark period, but there's nothing wrong with scheduling one full feeding in that time. I flood 3x per day with one feeding at night. Been doing it this way for 2 full grows and my plants haven't given me any indication that they don't like it.

hey whats up nice little setup u got there i was wondering ir u made that system ur self or if u bought it if u made it where did u get that dripper manifold and about how much was it i was gonna start a dripper system or a ebb and flow so ive been trying to find one of those but i havent seen one around and i dont know if you can only get them with a store bought system so let me know i appreciate it thanks hydroman ......leo

oh yea i forgot to ask u are those just regular shoplights just wodering because i didnt even know if they were worth using so i was gonna buy a t5 but if they work i got like three 4 footers that just need bulbs i used them like once for some seedlings but now my veg room needs more light so i might just use them and save some money thanks again .... leo

shop light but the bulbs are the plant and garden ones that are sold at lowes. i have two cool white i believe mixed into them. i would like to get more lighting ,i dont know about the t5lights. i saw them around but nothing so far in 6400k, all i see are the 3000k .


walmart sells them, i saw them there late last yr and they were cheap.

it might be humidity, its around 12%. but i thought its good? its only affecting maybe 10%of the leafs, most are in the middle. i have been flushing them every week, they seem to love it.
Last yr i had my plants watering two times a night and the plants loved it, i dont know to try with this one now. im scared to mess with them , there so sexy!

thanks again

Ease up on the flushing. Ideal humidity is at least 40%, but shit happens. When the Santa Ana winds kick up in my area, humidity pretty much disappears alltogether for a while. You could try raising it by putting a bucket of water with a towel hanging out to wick up the water and evaporate. This may not help much if you have a good active exhaust.

seems that i cant get it up past 19% now. im going out tomorrow looking for somethign small to fit in there to help with the humidity. Maybe when i finish my door of the growroom ill have that neg air flow into the room to balance everything. temps are starting to creep up on me here and there so im watching them closely avg is 84 or so. i plan on changing the water tomorrow or sometime this week, ill take more pics then. stupid me blew some shit around so i had to clean everything , so i took some pics. not the best tho
thanks again

well its been awhile since i have updated any pics, not alot has changed since the last posting. i am planing on changing out the water, and cleaning up the system this weekend. had probs with the venting over the weekend while i was gone, and well it reached almost 100 in there . lucky it was only for about 4 maybe 5 hrs it was that high. I have fixed the problem once and for all so that will never ever happen again.

I have noticed a lil more leaves turning yellow on one of the plants but all the new growth is a beautiful green. just its natural way of doing things im guessing but would like to make sure.
you know what It only took 3 -4 weeks but the clones i took off the plants two did make it. nice looking roots coming out the bottom of the rockwool. im setting up the other system this weekend also. not sure if i had said anything yet about them. ill be back later with more. thanks again all

Nice going so far. Try not to worry about the yellowing leaves, as it's normal during flowering. If your upper leaves are yellowing too, ease up on the nutes for a week.
