    New To Hyrdo - Few Random Questions/Horror Story

    So let's see here if we can figure out this problem... 1.) You shouldn't need a pH doser. There is something going on that is causing it to fluctuate that much in such little time. What kind of water are you using, distilled (RO) or tap? 2.) The slime should NOT be there. There is a very good...

    Yep, tripling in height is not uncommon. Look at what one of my past plants did in only 3 weeks!

    Ph level after mixing nutes

    No, no, no. Do not do this. Where do people get this advice? First, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is for the most part, insoluble in water. It is going to burn the shit out of your roots not to mention what the excess Na (sodium) will do.. Second, the vinegar is converted to acetate when...

    now that i have the 400w mh how long for veg?

    Yes, watch for it to grow much more profoundly and vigorously. Just out of curiosity, how big is the plant(s). It just seems like it's been a while already for them vegging, fluoros or not.

    400wt MH to 360wt HPS

    Man, please don't take offense to this, but is English your first language? Your spelling is like a 3rd grader and you don't seem to understand.Again, it's been stated three times. We know that a person (like yourself) can put a MH bulb INTO a HPS ballast. That's not his friggin scenario...

    How many GPH should my pump be?

    I have a question about your setup because there could be a logistical problem. You said you are going to have 2 mothers and 4 flowering plants in the same room? that won't work unless you either A.) put up a 100% light-proof barrier between the two, or B) You don't care if your mother's start...

    400wt MH to 360wt HPS

    Yes, but the problem here was going down in wattage (400 to 360). You can't run a 400 watt on a 600 watt ballast. :hump: Edit: And read the post again, It says going from MH TO!!!!! HPS Not HPS to MH.

    How to make plants stretch?

    Just be careful with increasing the N. If your PPM of N is increased too much, two things will happen: 1.) Nutrient lockout and 2) Nutrient burn If the plant looks yellow in certain spots, then you should increase the N. However, if you have been giving it enough ferts and it seems to be...

    400wt MH to 360wt HPS

    Most people have a 400watt HPS ballast which utilize a 400W MH conversion bulb. A 400W MH ballast is quite rare to have, albeit you still have to work with what you have. Anyways, I had to do a lot of looking because I was curious myself, but it looks as if it will work. Check out the first...

    Aero on Steroids

    That's a nice system you have there. I like it. I am actually looking at designing a cloning machine like this. Also, excellent choice of nutes. Have you used the Connoisseur before? I have always been really curious about this product. It is so expensive, so I've always been wondering if...

    How to make plants stretch?

    If you want to try and stretch them, put the lamp at least 3 feet above them. Usually, the plants will stretch the most within the first 2 weeks of switching the light cycle (without having to raise the lamp), so if it doesn't stretch within a week or so, then it may not stretch too much more...

    what am I doing wrong??

    1.) How long have they been in there? 2.) How many layers of black spraypaint did you put on there? Are you 200% sure it is ABSOLUTELY 100% lightproof? 3.) Are the jets spraying directly at the bottom of the stems? 4.) Do you trim the leaves of your cuttings? 5.) Do you use Thrive Alive w/ B-1...

    Should i

    If ur using CFL's, don't bother with hydroponics. Waste ur time with soil. If ur going to spend the time and money for a quality hydroponics setup, for god sakes buy a real light.

    Should i

    Depends on how well you do it. The taste can be just as good as soil IMO if done correctly.
