K i checked the lil crystal orbs with a microscope and they seem to be more milky then clear ...this is the first time i ever looked at these to tell when to start flushing. so i am only making the best diagnoses that i can but there is no red ones that i could see. so do i just keep looking till i find first sign of a red orb?

on another note i guess i will be doing a flood and drain with grodan blocks next run. 10-11 plants on a 2/6 flood table and res with 4 air stones under 600 hps light ...
flora nova gro and bloom nute's

only thing about this is i wont be able to rotate them every watering ...or watering by hand for that matter this is a trade off i can live with though ;-)

one thing i would like to get is a guardian or fact similar to have some #s to glance at outside my closet.
If i were to shop for one what should i get? or should i just save up for the guardian?

here some more pics

bah... ok all my research say to do 1-2 tbls molasses per gallon.

soo when i flush is it going to make the plants look all stressed out and yellow/deficient?

hay bro you ever think about making your own cal mag?

apparently its just a matter of buying Epson salt and going to a landscaping supply store and buying a 50lb bag of green house grade calcium nitrate .

all though it may be a learning curve to mix it. It may be a way more economical way to get cal mag in massive bulk. i mean a 50 lb bag probably only 65 bucks and Epson salt ant all that much ether shit would last forever!

my tent is only 30 inch wide and 56 inch long something like 72-79 tall so will that table fit in there?

and if i get a res it would have to be no more then 30 inch long cause if i put it side ways then the lid would not be able to open vary well or if at all.

for the life of me i cant remember the dimensions of that table.

got bored tonight so i thought i would show you all my viggi garden. i am moving it soon cause of to tight space and no room for plants to grow up. cant get to all the plants to do maintenance on them. so its my prototype grow room hopefully once i build it, it will be vary much more professional.

my peppers on my flood table are like fortresses of leaves and flowers. my beef stake tomato is giving some fruit. so my test with flood and drain seems to be vary good.

my zucchini is like to big for the spacing i have but they are rocking in dwc so ill be doing a lot of DWC in the future.

the NFT is got 18 tomato plants on it .....all i can say is non stop blossom drop starting to think its a lost cause if anyone can tell me why my tomatoes blossoms fall of that would be great. i pollinate them with an electrical tooth brush A LOT and using flora nova nutes about 1400 ppm tried a lil cal mag to just seems like i am wasting these nutes :(

the second nft is just a over flow of plants i planted and could not just through them away.

high density crops like beet carrot and radishes in the totes

the 2 Rubbermaid have Swiss chard rub barb char and onion and celery

The main reason for having this veggi garden is to cover smell from my main lil closet grow PPL focus there attention on the smell of tomatoes and zucchini pollen witch they can relate to. and Sounds of hydro nullify there senses so they can not focus there attention on the sound coming from my closet grow. and when i go buy stuff like ph up ph down nutes and cal mag and pumps or anything grow related its not a ? to them why i have it.another is to hone my hydro skills and the last but not least reason is ....i get FOOD from it Food without any pesticides or preservatives as close to organic as is affordable.

for all them ppl trying to stealth grow. cause ppl do not approve of what you like i suggest trying these things. it works vary well show them a hand. One with something they like.(veggies) but in the other hand they are not looking at so you can slide that hand in there pocket and they would never even know.
