My tap water ppm is around 300.

I used tap water + clonex, and they are all under a T5 light

Maybe raise that light up a little... Might be too much for them right now.
They'll probably be fine...

Every time I start to freak about mine, they surprise me and turn out fine.

Like today, my veg'r wasn't spraying my sativa trees... Water level got too low. The smaller plants were wilting, the larger ones were fine. They drank way more water than I thought they could in 3 days!

I filled the rez up and set the timer to go off every 3 minutes for a while. They perked up within an hour.

I'm going to get the parts Andyman used and add a site glass to my rez!

AND I need to move the sativa trees... I was going to just let them finish in the Veg'r, but I'm looking up at over 6' tall plants with the rez height :neutral:

Good thing I have high ceilings :hump:

Yea haha the water lowing in 3 days scared the hell out of me too!

I doubt you can get your plants up to 6' tall with this system bro. But prove me wrong!

Goodluck

Veg them too long and they do get tall... I have some 100% sativa from seeds that I started on 3/26. The plants alone are 4'... They have been topped once. I'll probably have to chop them again. I have rocks on the lid of the veg'r holding the net pots down. I definately left them too long... LOL

I hear that if you want to halt vertical growth try a product called bush master by humbolts own. Never tried it but hear its a no bullshit potion that has to be used sparingly.

Stink is using the grow nutes the first cycle of flowering because it takes a while for the plants to switch from Vegetative growth to Flowering. He is also using a MH lamp instead of an HPS during this time to keep the plants shorter and from bolting too high during the first couple weeks of transition. He adjusts the res with Flowering nutes as needed until the three week cycle is finished then switches over to Flowering nutes until finished.
:peace:

I'm fine with the height on these... My guest room is kinda like a forrest.

Thanks for the tip though!

Luv

I think I got left in the dust with my question. I have also done a search, I could be missing it......does anyone know?

Thanks

A 400W light is great for veg but too much for clones. Fluorescent lights are best for clones. Even cheap $7 shop lights are better for clones than a 400W.

All you want from the cloner is roots, not growth. The growth will happen in veg and flower. Set your lights to 24/0.

Hey my ladies only been vegging for 11 days but they are super widely crowed and air circulation is a big problem now. Should i just move them to the flower room?

Yes! As long as you have room...

Hey stink, or ne1? What's a good RO system to get?

Thanks for the reply. The temp is running a steady 77 and the humidity is about 50%. I cut the ends off the big leaves already. That leaves a different strain. The strains I have had to take clones from are mainly sativa. But I have some indica plants that are just about ready to start taking cuttings from. I have heard that sativas are harder to clone than indicas. What is your experience in that area? Thanks for your help and the inspiration that finally got me to make the switch from dirt to hydro.

Cloning time is strain specific. Woody strains seem to take a little longer than soft stem varieties.

Luvinitcuzican · May 18, 2009

I just picked up a couple plant aquarium florescents, I hope they are the right ones. How close should these be, right on em? Thanks stink. It's hard breakin an old dog of it's habits. When I used to grow, has not been since 95, I always used 400w MH.

Luv

I'm new to growing myself just started my first in soil grow. and if all goes well with that i'm gonna try your method it just looks so simple. I'm not looking a lb every 3 weeks I just had a couple questions. What timers do you use for your pumps could you give me a link to where i can purchase them or are they avaiable at home depot or lowes? and how far apart are you placing your sprayers thanks. Gonna purchase everything for this set up next weekend. and how much different would my yeild be in the end if I had only 1 1000watt HPS and my MH ballast kit is 1000watt also how big of a difference will that make

NewHiddenGrower · May 18, 2009

Hey guys im about to flower , and i searched 2 weeks for PVC fence post...

I cant find any i ordered 2 from ebay and got scammed...

So i found a round 4" PVC pipe. Will this work?

the only difference is that its not a square but a circle

When I first started I was getting about 12oz per harvest. I've made many changes since the original article was released....

3) I run my Veg formula for the first three weeks of flower. I refill the res with bloom as it needs it.

So are you forgoing the reservoir changes every three weeks and just adding fresh water and nutes as needed? What about the final flush?
