also had to put the Cool Tube back on.
This damn MH lamp is a LOT hotter than the Phillips CDM, can't wait to get switched back and on 12/12 light.

I was worried about light bleeding through the stones at the top of the net pots, then it dawned on me.... wrap it one time up top with aluminum tape.
One more little thing that makes the "Nug Machine" almost perfect.
My PH is rock solid stable, the PPMs are running along just perfect.
I now have a chilled res to keep the soup cool.
I change the res (10 gallons) every 2 weeks.
This baby is so DIALED IN !!!
Literally on "cruise control"

that cool tube is so rad! I was contemplating doing the same thing to mine before my ballast went out on me :/, now im ordering some LED lights to rig up.
How much water do you have to add in-between reservoir changes at this stage? I have roughly the same size reservoir, its actually a little less. Im just concerned once these plants start sucking up water, ill have to fill pretty often. Im also on an ebb and flow setup, but plant uptake should be pretty similar.
Ive been keeping an eye on your grow, pretty cool rig you got here. :peace:

Thanks man,
The Koolatron res is usually around 4 gallons and that is the one that fluctuates, the tray above holds right almost 6 gallons.
I add a gallon of PH'd water at a time to the drain above, I stick a small funnel in there and pour it down..
Right now they are only drinking about 3 gallons in 2 weeks between res changes.
When I finally quit chopping foliage off them, they will stretch and use more water.
I watch the PPM and when it starts getting a little high, I check the res and sure enough, I need to add another gallon.

Cruise control ! :mrgreen:

did the switch to the MH bulb speed up veg growth?,, or was the slow down just all the topping and spreading to mainline it?

Oh no.... It DEF helped.
The bigger Amnesia is really stretching and Jack is right behind her.
Especially the Dwarf, thats right I got another Dwarf dang it.
Well, maybe if she performs like the last dwarf, i'll get some nice nugs from her?

I actually just topped the 2 bigger ones to 8 tops this evening.
Another major switch up.... abnormally freakin HOT temps here right now... 88 today, and that with the FREAKIN MH lamp I am running 91* in the fridge today.
Switched my light cycle, lights on at 7PM, lights off at 11 AM.

I'll, get some good pics in the AM !

I know, right?
If I EVER get to finish topping the Dwarf, I will essentially be done with plant training till they get tall, then I'll just have to support them from falling over.
