What ph range do you keep it in? I put mine at 5.8 the other day, came back like 3 days later and it was still 5.8. I was also adding fresh water inbetween that though.

Same here....I go for 5.8 during veg/most of flower and slowly raise it up to 6.0 or 6.1 by the time I'm ready to harvest. I also add fresh non-ph'd water back into my res as well. Mine will typically go down to 5.6 or so over the course of 1 or 2 days and I'll have to raise it back up a lil.

Is flooding every 4 hours ok when I'm only using hydroton? Sorry I haven't taken any pics yet. I was working real late on it last night. I plan on vegging for 2 weeks , and then flipping to 12/12 since my clones are pretty good sized.
for someone who reads so much this is a pretty stupid question. read before you post buddy!

I know they look kinda yellow, but I think part of that is light bleaching because they are so close to the light. There isn't much I can do about it... Better luck next time? Don't really care I guess. They should be done on the 4th of July. I have 20 plants like these. They were bigger than I would let them go, if I was doing them again. The problem is they stink to ungodly levels, and they don't yield enough. I hope to have ~6oz off of them.

That looks like awesome bud, man! The leaf damage I'd say is more from heat than light; amounts to the same thing anyway I guess.

6 oz isn't bad. You'll dial it all in pretty quick. Those look like you can chop any day now.

Yeah, it's really crazy These are only at 6.5 weeks. I'm chopping on the fourth of July. The Trichs are already turning amber though... Thanks for all the help man. If I really had to guess I would say I'm going to get anywhere from 4-8oz off this. I'm hoping for more, but thinking it will probably be around 6.

Next run will be blue cheese, and chronic. I will have two different tables setup. Just waiting for my next paycheck to get my mother setup.

I have been having the mold problems with Chronic. :( It's very sensitive to humidity and mine has been waayyyy out of control all spring. Like 80%.

Fortunately, I've got a 14000 btu dual-hose portable air conditioner being delivered tomorrow. That should really knock down the humidity. The problem with my dehumidifier is it pumps warm air out and I'm not about to duct that; too lame for me.

Hmmm... That's food for thought. I have a 5000 btu ac being pumped into my room, but I still need the dehumidifier myself. I was thinking of getting a couple little ones. Hopefully I can get an environmental controller here soon enough. I just hope it works well enough. I might have to ditch the tents though, because I don't really have a way of piping the a/c directly to the tents. I just like they give me an extra barrier for smell/light leaks.

They're really starting to swell up now. This is really a good pheno to grow if you can find it. Has a lot of sativa qualities, but seems to finish faster. Only thing is it doesn't yield quite as much as I would like, so its gotta go.... sad I know.

i do flood and drain as well and i have a 600w HPS over one of my 2x4 tables and i use hydrotone as well but only in flower and i water 4 times in a 24 hours . For Veg ones i and ready to transplant my rooted clones i will soke my rock weel in water that is at the right ppm and ph for about 5 mins and then take my rooted clone and put it in the RW and put it in my veg tray and then i will only water 2 a day and only if needed then i will water one more time but thats only on really hot days and when i water its only for 20 to 30 mins and only flood the very bottom of the RW dont flood the hole thing cause then you well get root rot so just the bottom about half a inch or less . I also use organices in veg so i can juice the shit out of them i hit them with about 850ppm right off the bat and work my way up 1500ppm and some times 2000 ppm dipending on the strain and if it can take it but whats cool about using organices is you cant burn your plants with them . IN flower i switch to the flora GH serise lucause formula and i add some cow-mag and liquied cool bloom and start my ppm at around 700ppm and work my way up to about 1000ppm some times 1200ppm and i always come out with some killer smoke and good yeilds so if you have any qustions you want to ask just send me a pm and i will help you out the best i can . its always nice to take to some one who grows the same way and to see whats been working for then so good luck and let me know how it goes

Those are 7 week old ones I chopped about 1/4 off a plant and left the rest to mature more. I have 20 plants so I'm not real worried about it. I need some fire for the 4th right? Well, this nug has been drying for about 2 days now. It will probably be put in the jar on Wed/Thursday.
