So she's doing pretty good. When I set my veg tent up o had so many new things with the aero I was dealing with, I forgot to set my fan in the tent. Since I turned the 4 bulb t5 on she's been canoeing a little. I figured it was heat so I got my fan setup and raised my light a bit. Any thoughts? I feel like I've had everything else in check I'll no for sure later today.

I don't like my t5 really at all the heat it puts off is just like running a mh 400 but no way to cool it

Yea man I agree I've been debating on buying a 600 watt ballast. Maybe after I harvest in a few weeks. So I'll probably mover either a 400 watt mh or my solarstorm in there. I kind of like the dual spectrum in flower so that would be a tough decision Lol. Moral of the story, damn t5s run hott

Got my meters and they are great quality. City lied to me, tap water is 200 ppm but I guess it could be worse. Or maybe my old plumbing...who knows. Res temp is 74 which isn't horrible but building my next unit with a smaller pump and buying a recycle timer to do 1 min on 5 off. Right now I'm 15/15 because that's the only timer I have and running it 24/7 is too hot. I'm getting there. Have to do another res change tomorrow or wendsday so I can monitor my ppm it was way low when I measured today and kinda wanna start fresh. First setup is going to contain 4 plants with a 1 week veg. Hoping to have 4 rooted clones of the critical kush in 3 weeks to start

Looks great man. Hey what size net pot do u use. Im using 3" now but considering 2". What do you reccomend? Here's my ck I don't know how many weeks it is but I did finalize my setup. Using 100 qt coolers (3) 3 weeks apart either 8 or 10 plants each. Probably going to cut some clones sometime this week just rearranged my room. Now its 5x5 for flower.should have some going into flower in the next 2 weeks.

Stick with the three I'm considering going to a four with hydrotron with the amount I'm running because I'm using two inch now with four plants per tote and I had to do some pretty fancy tying to get em to stay up

So I took some clones off the critical kush on sunday. Took 11 cuts hoping to get 9 to root. 8 will veg for 1 week and go into my first of 3 coolers for flower. 1 will stay in my veg tent in case the genetics are phenomenal. The clones look great can't wait to get then in flower. On a side note I get to cut a critical + down this week. She is so frosty can't wait. Busy next couple of weeks for me but I won't complain.

well my operation got slightly fucked last night. My pump in my cloner died and they went at least 4 hours sitting in nothing but air. We will see if they recover I have my doubhts. If they don't I'll have to think of what I'm going to do because I need to get somthing in my flower room. Hey tone I rather have yur prob then mine haha but on a serious note I'm pissed. That's the only downfall about these systems is even if you do everything right, yur equipment can still fail and screw ya.

Sorry bro didn't see your post I had that happen to me now I keep a small air stone and at pump on separate outlet in all my cloners and vegg units so if water pump fails my plants still get listed by the bubbles but you should be fine there probly already standing tall again

Yea to my surprise I think they will survive. Yea I have a air stone in there but I think I'm going to go with shallower buckets so if that happens they will still get misted by bubbles.

So I got my clones into flower yesterday picked the best 7. Kept one in my veg tent. All of them are about 6 inches tall. I was hoping to get the skywalker set up next but it looks like it might have to be ww x bb. She has exploded with growth and is taking over the veg tent so I need to cut it down to size.
