Guys can you help me out please, I have my plants in veg container, I'm using a 400w mh light that's 2ft above plants, I got the nutes and applied to container. And I started the nutes Friday. My ppm is 810 my ph is 6.5 I ordered ph up/down but it won't be here until Friday. My problem is I'm getting yellowing leaves and spots. Also the leaves are curling upwards like a canoe. Is it too much heat from light? and can you tell me what I could use right now to bring ph down to 5.6-5.8? And is that the problem high ph? Thanks guys appreciate it. Also my temps inside tent are 80-85 humidity 35% res temps 68-72

When the leaves curl up like that it usually means that the temps are too hot but 80-85 should be fine. Is the light sealed and vented? You may need to raise the light if not.
Dead spots usually mean lack of Cal/Mag. That could be caused by your PH being off but I doubt it. I've heard lemon juice works to lower the PH (1tsp per gallon of water) but I haven't actually tried it. I just use PH up or down that I buy at the hydro store.
You also may want to lower your PPM a bit and see if that helps. Remember, dead or damaged leaves never come back. Always look at the new growth to judge results.
Good luck bro!

Thank you SB, no my light is not vented so I leave the tent open in daylight with ceiling fan on and a fan inside tent pointed up at the light. Do I lower my ppm by adding more plain water? I have lights set at 18/6 I will try the lemon juice tonight. P.s I'm a sis :- )

Yes adding water will bring down your PPM, I never tried the lemon juice.

Yea, just add more water. You may need to drain some to make room for the new water. That's why I always recommend starting low and going up from there. It's easier to add nutes then take them out!
Good luck Sis! haha

Man those bitches have gotten huge since the last update! Seems the soil agrees with you man, I love the deep even color they've got. How long you gonna veg them out? I wish I could come work with you and learn hands on from your years man. The internet is great but I've always wished I had a lifer to teach me from his experience.

Hey Stinkbud and other Stinkbuddies,
I am new to growing and have been reading non-stop about the different ways to grow. I like the idea of your aeroponics. I know your concept is based on misting the roots of the plants with water, but do the roots themselves stay in the water at the bottom as well?
I read about another company called supercloset. and they have something called superponics which apparently combines bubble and aeroponics along with deep water culture. I am assuming that if I ordered the kit, would I be able to grow the same steps are yours? It also includes top feeds which yours does not incorporate. I am assuming maybe the top feeders are about the same idea as your misting? However since the top feeders are there, then that means I can not use the cuttings?
If not, I was thinking of using that box, and just build my own custom sizes of the same designs as yours. Would the measurements 11"wx18"lx12"h be a good box to have as a cloner?
I do not intend to grow a lot either. Maybe 3-4 plants at a time.
Thanks for your time!
Cheers!

I also have a Stacked Kush growing right now. It's looking great so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Finally made it to the end! Thank you SB, SS1, LionsRoar, DirtHawker and all the other members that have posted helpful replies on this thread. I started reading at the end of January and have learned so very much from starting from the beginning of this thread. If you read the whole thing, almost every possible question was asked and answered by a variety of helpful members over the years. We grew in soil for many years and this is our first grow using a combination SB/SS1 system. Today is week 7 of the flowering stage and I'm am so happy my husband built this system. I am experiencing 100% success rate with clones (some have taken 30 days or more but every one has eventually popped roots) and the veg unit looks great. I am sorry that I didn't find this thread back in 2008 but I sure am glad that I know about it now.

Probably over at his website's forum OG, or out dancing, salsa as I recall... Hey OG, what size rails did you decide worked best for your setup? I have been thinking about building up a smaller, fatter system with 3 inch pots and 5 inch rails with half as many holes. I am looking for larger plants, but less of them. Debating a modified DWC system or a different scale rail system.
