I took the plants that are flowering out of the cabinet. It is just to hot in there. The cab will be good for clones and veg but not flowering. I'll try this for a while and see how it works out.

What would you say are good numbers for the humidity and the newts while in mid flower.

With no Co2 I would say 78 degrees, 60 humidity and about 1200 Max in week 4-5. Give them 5ml/gallon cal mag. And about 60-70,000 lux

Cool, I can't thank you enough for all the help. It's nice to have someone that knows what the hell there talking about to ask. On the Internet I found ALLOT of suggestions/ideas but I didn't know what to believe. OK time to get back to work on this... Looks like I need to buy ANOTHER light. Damn this is getting very expensive but it will be worth it I'm sure.

Well, I got it all setup "again" Lol... Lets see, I transplanted 8 clones of the lemon kush in the lower part of the cabinet to get them in veg. And I have the ones in flower setup in the corner of the room now with a 250 HPS for now.

I'm keeping the room temp is around 75 and that's keeping the water temp between 68 to 71. The PPM is right at 1200 and the humidity is at 56.
And I ordered a digital dimmable 600w HPS with 90,000 LUX and the cal mag and also some reflective mat for the wall.

This is week 5 now. Would you suggest to bring the PPM up to 1300 in week 6 or 7?

I'll guess this might be asking to much and if you think so I completely understand but I was wondering if you might share your feeding schedule.

If your not seeing deficiencies....then don't give them more.
I would keep them at 1200 until the last two weeks. Then drastically cut it back. Like 800 and then 300

Well, with the plants I'm running. I NEVER go above 900 in veg. Never above 800 really. I run veg nutes at 900 the week after the flip. Then the second week is around 1000 with flower nutes. I max out around 1200-1300 in weeks 4.5-6. Then I cut things way back.

One thing I believe is that too many people switch to flower nutrients too soon. The notion that nutrient levels in the soil trigger flowering is bullshit. What happens in nature? Suddenly all the nitrogen is gone? For the first week or two there is an explosion of growth, not flowers. That explosion needs nitrogen to happen.

I typically just use my veg nutes for the first week, then top off with flower nutes the second week.
I run phosphoload at about week 2.5 which means I add it to half strength nutes, let it run 24hrs and then dump it all. So I don't like mixing all fresh nutes in the beginning of week 2.

Confused enough? Lol

No, I think I understand what your saying there.
I'm in week 4-5 now so I would think 1200 would be ok but the tips still seem to be turning so I cut it back to 1100. I hope that will help. Everything else seems to be ok. Oh yea... And I added the cal meg the other day.

I noticed in a pic that I saw in here that someone was using clay pellets and they are all small and about the same size. (about 1/4" or so). All I have been able to find is ones that are all different sizes and up to 1/2" or larger. Does anyone know of any place that I can buy them that are consistent around 1/4"?

I switched to growlite rocks. Simply because they are not round an try won't fuckkng roll all over the place. In DWC it really doesn't matter. I have crammed 1 gallon coco plants into net pots and the did fine

Keep on keeping on.

If you want the super secret top secret to super dense and Chrystal buds...foliar feed with a product called liquid gold. BERY concentrated fulvic acid extract from hardwood plants. Fucking live that stuff just don't tell everyone

I saw the coco plants and woundered about them. I was asking because I'm using 3" baskets and don't have room for the the bigger ones. But they are doing the job.

Hahaha... Your secrets safe with me, Bro...
I was wondering how often should I foliar feed.
1 in veg time, 2 in flowering and how far along should I foliar feed? And is it ok to spray onto a flower or am I putting chemicals into the flowers?

Is that Liquid Gold made buy "Dry Flower Products"? Or maybe "Flower Products"... I found a couple.

BTW, I think figured out why my roots look so muddy all the time. It's the nutes I'm using. Technaflora Nutes... When I mix it to a gal of water, it looks like mud and it looks the same when ever I do a water change. That shit all ways looks like mud.

Ummm I'm not sure which one. It has a picture of a ram on it. I foliar with that stuff every three days. When the flowers get dense I barely mist them and just aim for the leaves. It's important to have fans blowing on them and your humidity in check or you will get bortritus. I stop foliar about week 6-7 on an 8 week strain

I have been looking for it off and on for two days and can't find it. Would you know of a link or some where that I might find it?

Thanks man... I got it ordered. I had found that but I wasn't sure if that was what you were talking about or not. It's made by Dry Flower Products. Cool...
