    HELP! I hope I didn't cause permanent damage.

    Well it looks like the change from going from 96 watts of T5's to 600 watts of HPS, just shocked the hell out of them. Yes, the temps got a bit high, but nothing over what they hit a few weeks ago(86 max) when we had a small heat wave. I didn't change anything on the feeding schedule, but I...

    HELP! I hope I didn't cause permanent damage.

    I dialed down the 600 Watt to only 360 watts after the first day when they went limp. (New lumatek dimmable ballast) and it is 2 feet from tops of plants. I thought a under/over water problem as well, but they have not drooped at all since a week out from popping roots out of the RW with the...

    HELP! I hope I didn't cause permanent damage.

    What is weird is that they were doing fine with that water schedule until I switched from T5 to 600 watt hps. I did turn off the night time flood this morning. Maybe I will discontinue all floods until they perk up. I sit possible for too much light intensity to cause this problem?

    HELP! I hope I didn't cause permanent damage.

    A little background: DJ Short BB 3 weeks into 18/6 veg. Using Ebb and Flow with chiller to keep res temps between 68-70. Clones started in 2" RW then placed into 5" pots with clayballs. Flood level just below RW, flooding 15 min. every 3 hours during day and once in middle of night cycle...

    Final smoke report. Got 4.5oz of cured weed and 11.5 gm of ice hash. It produces a very good creep up on you high that lasts a very long time. The taste is very smooth as well. On a 1-10 scale I would say taste=9, strength of high=7.5-8 and duration of high=9.5-10. The ice hash is knock you...

    The harvest is here! 3-4 hours over the last 2 nights and everything is cut. Never got to build a dry box, so I had to use the grow box instead. Figured best filtered ventilation and total darkness. Just sucks that it will delay the start of the next grow by a week or two. The tops are ok...

    cannatari's 600W Watercooled DWC Med Cab

    I hear you man. I have also learned much through my first hydro grow, but like you also learned I have a ways to go. I am not shooting for a Cannibis cup winner, but some fruitful yeilds would make me very happy. My folks are already learning from my mistakes as the 1 1/2" RW cubes are...

    The flush has begun! Trics are mostly cloudy with one plant having 2 or 3 amber. The purple has taken off as well, except for 2 or 3 plants. Will probably chop them next wed- fri depending on how they look. I thinned out some of the fan leaves to let the light get to the lower buds and help...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Guy I got clones from says they are ready between week 7 and 8 (a fast grower). Trics are clear/milky. Currently starting week 6. Plan on starting flush next week.

    Well I kinda lost count and realized this is the last week of nutes before flush! They are starting their 6th week (35 days of flower, 62 days total from clone). Kinda pissed because I was talked into Mad Farmer MOAB at my local Hydro store and it is supposed to be used the last 2 weeks, but I...

    Four weeks into flower, so a little over half way done. Things are going well, except my ph meter is being a PITA, readings drift all over the place. Well I guess you get what you pay for. Going to try electrode cleaning solution and see if that helps. They are getting really frosty, even...

    Some pics from this morning. They are starting to get frosty. Even the lower buds are getting snowy. One thing I noticed is the trics are already solid white(checked with micro). Do they start white then go clear, then cloudy, then amber?

    Thx Canna, I had forgotten to work on them, and when I went out I wasn't exactly thinking clearly if you know what i mean. Next time, leave them until the morning and don't F with it. Now I gotta go get Go Gnat for the res water. Seeing quite a few grey little moth? like flying bugs. When...

    So I made a big mistake last night. I went out to check them and do daily maintenance, and when I do I turn off the vest fan to give it a break. Well when I closed everything up I forgot to turn it back on. So it went the whole night with the light on and no ventilation. When I went to...

    Had to post some pics on 4/20, although didn't have much time to take more and better pics. I didn't even change the setting on the camera. They are doing well. 10th day of flower buds started. Just started 3rd week of flower. Tallest is 19.5", and the runt is quickly getting drown in a sea...

    Forgot to ask. Last night I did the final neem spray before the buds start and I noticed that the roots are filling up the holes on the bottom of the pots. They are even growing into the coco caps I put underneath them to lift the pots. I actually broke some of the roots taking them out to...

    Hey Canna, I did everything you suggest with the exception of the super thrive. My original plan was to make the box dual purpose, but I didn't want the vertical limitations. I will be making a veg box at my parents in the future (probably after this grow) to house all our clones and veg...
