Crisis ??????? Hope not.
Bubba kush and white widow Hydro ebb n flow set up .
19 days into Flowering and I left the light on when it should be off . Of course everything is on A timer , but just the regular light on a switch on.
I just kept everything 12/12 and acted like it was nothing. Am I wrong or will they Herm? Hope not.
Anyone who really knows, I could really use the piece of mind.
Thanks for the Help if so !!!

I have built a ebb n gro hydro system and I need as much info on how to set up how often I should flood the buckets and how long should I let them run when feeding?

airstone in the resivoire, with all systems is a good idea.. it keeps the water oxygen levels high which helps keep pathogens and algae down...

leaving your 60 watt bulb on in the grow room is not good.. switch it out with a green party bulb.. cfl lowest wattage green party bulb.. and youll never have to worry about that again.. or christmas tree lights .. green of course..

ebb and grow cycles change depending on the volume of media and typed of media used.. general instructions say use a 15 min timer 4 times a day.. i would go 6 for babies with small roots and and gradually lower to four.. heavy algae build up is a good sign of your media being "too wet" ..

ive got a few questions for all you hydro guys and gals out there... i just finshed my first indoor grow, in soil under a 250hps closetgrow.. i was looking into a simple hydro set=up for a second attempt, when i ran across this articel in Skunk magazine, where the authour says to use a 50 50 mix of vermiculate and perlite in place of a soilmix.. then he said to just water and feed with nutes from above as needed.. sounds nice and easy, and a good way to get my feet wet in an attempt at some hydro growing. here are my questions.. i will be growing from seeds.. in the dirt, i just used the paper towell method, to good results.. what is the best way to germ for this type of medium? would i be better off germing straight in a rockwool cube, then transpanting that into thier resting place in the vermiculate perlite blend? any kind of help with this would be appreciated..

Brother's Grimm call it a 7 week (flowering period) strain...

Mine is DONE, and I mean MATURE at week 8...

It packs the weight as fast as an Indica.. but it has mostly a Sativa high...

It's considered by the "old school" (hippies..:lol:) growers as the "Holy Grail"...

I'd say she's a fast slut...:razz:

Racerboy,
I would suggest using Rapid Rooter cubes for your seedlings. They are more neutral then Rockwool and have an easy base to get those roots growin through. I have used them with great success and less hassles with PH balancing.
For easy design setups for your first hydro go to http://gbhydroinfo.blogspot.com

5-10 seeds regular will run you anywhere from 25-100 bucks depending on strain...Fem seeds 5-10 pack is about 50-150 also depending on strains

is it starting at the bottom of the plant and goes to the top? does it mainly involve the shade leaves and is it the enitire leaves turning yellow.. or is it the veins tips.. ?? usually best to include a picture.. i belive your just nitrogen defficient.. so i would flush for a day.. then add a veging nutrient.. faq will help
