Dude, you basically live in Houston. Of course you've got 'hoods' lol!

I've used FF Happy Frog for years with no problems at all. I didn't like the mix or the price of the OF half as much. I always mix in some of this to keep the soil from compacting and to aid in drainage: And a little dolemite lime will help to keep the Ph of your soil in check over the...

He can't fit both those lights in the tent he's using at the same time. Very nice!

Oh, and get some nutes specific to the flowering cycle for the girls in flower asap. The almost total lack of all nutes other than N might be the problem too. When switching to flower you can almost drop the N but you have to bump up the P and K a lot. You said your tap water was 6.9Ph, but...

Anytime. :mrgreen:

Check out what they have to offer. Try not to cheap-out on things, you'll just end up buying the better version later anyway. You need an HID light with a vent-able hood, a good bulb, at least one in-line exhaust fan, nutes (I'd go synthetic your first time around), Ph up (and maybe Ph down as...

Yeah, fungus gnats seem to make a showing at some point no matter where you grow apparently. Knock on wood, I haven't encountered mites yet myself but most have. Yeah, I would just buy supplies online in this state. Glad things are going well for ya SSHZ!

A LOT lol. Prob not like you though!

I'd stick with 600 watters if you're adding on...they're the most energy efficient. Can you add another lamp in-line with what you have now?

Yeah, that ain't much consumption either! I paid about $70.00/month with 2 tents (1 for veg and 1 for flower), 300 watts of T5 lighting, a 400 watter for flower, mad fans, and a damn portable a/c unit to keep my temps down since I was in TX at the time. Just depends on your setup and where you...

Exactly, which is why I said it looks more like a potassium or maybe phosphorus deficiency! :hump:

Well, I'd say that's a shitty system other than the bulb lol. Somebody did a comparison between MH and CMH bulbs once, I wanna say Subcool? In the end he said just stick with the ever-more prevalent and less expensive MH bulbs. Go with a digi ballast, Lumatek is bomb. Been using the same...

I really don't think this is the problem...but good luck with it!

The more you veg under a decent amount of CFL lighting the more $$$ you save. Obviously I would never flower under it though.

Oh it'll affect it lol.
