hey bobby, ppm is parts per million. you get a tds to measure that. tds is i think total dissolved solids or salts one of the two. you use the ppm number to gauge how strong of a nute solution you are running. for example i use fox farm nutes and they say in week 4 to be at 1200 ppm. just an...

well it doesnt look like anyone answered your watering question.so i will . just add straight water when replacing evaporated nute solution. dont add more nutes until you do a drain and refil in the res. hopefully you have some sort of feeding schedule to follow for the nutes. i started...

you got bubbles going in there right ? how high do you keep the water level? by the looks of your hydroton and net pot you dont have any water on them. when the root is that size id still leave the water at the bottom to a lil bit up the netpot till you get some more roots.

Every thing looks good but i would agree, more bubbles. i run a similar setup but just one big net pot per bucket. and i have 4 air pumps . 2 per bucket with 3 5 inch air stones per bucket. works awesome. i swap out the tops for emptying and refilling also. even though i have a drain plug, i...

thanks chief. it takes alot of hard work and patience. i could have done it without the support of all the bubble heads out there !!!

well heres a few pics to look at. not much to show except she is becoming a bush !!! the babies are looking good. some roots have hit the deep water. sunday will be 2 wks flowering for the girl and 2 wks old for babies

id agree 60-65 is optimum

you can never have too much light. so 3 is fine. and yes you can use the veg bulbs also. its actually good to give them both spectrums all the time.im flowering right now and i have a 400 watt metal halide , with a warm delux bulb so it has more red spectrum, but i also have 3 100 watt 2700 k...

yeah looks like nute burn. id cut back on the nutes and slowly add more till they can handle full strength. im using foxfarm trio also. im in first week of flowering and my ppm is 1330. the plant is about 7 wks old. at 5 weeks old i was at only 500ppm. but thats just me. go to straight water...

very nice man for first grow. let us know the weight when its all cured. and let us know how she smokes.. but good job

i think im gonna top the shit out of the three new ones. i should wait 2 wks between tops for healing right ?

thanks everyone! and mr nugs, yeah im using a tds meter. at this point in flowering im at 1330 ppm . in case you were wondering.. i'll keep ya'll updated. its so exciting to be this far. this is my first grow in dwc or hydroponics at all. the last grow i did was in soil inside about 4 yrs ago...

here are some more pics. officially 1 wk and 1 day flowering. theres a nice pic of alternating nodes. i didnt think i waited long enough for that to happen. but i guess she is mature.. cool. then we have 1 week old white rhino seedlings. theyre at 1/4 strenght nutes. and tap roots just hit deep...

not yet infex. walmart doesnt have any right now. out of season. but its still works well. i'll get a fan for the next grow for sure. i cant wait to start seeing some bud!!!!!! about how long does that take ?

well heres my addition to the showcase this friday.. almost 1 week in 12/12
