the res was a little low so i added new water. I've heard when switching lights to use it for 2 hrs one day, 4 the next, etc. have you done this before?

Hey guys, last week friday i switched from cfls to a 600 w hps light. I checked on them the next day and this is what they looked like. i had the light 2 ft away from the tops with no fan blowing air between so I think i just cooked them. I stopped using the hps and went back to...

Hey riu, I switched from a cfl set up to a 600 w yieldmaster II supreme hps to flower and about an hour after I had the light running, the plants looked like this.. I think the light was too close and was just cooking them. It was at about 2 feet above them and I moved it up to 4 ft above them.

would you buy it now that you've had it or buy a more exspensive one

Hey guys, Have any of you heard anything about this light: http://www.amazon.com/Watt-Electronic-Ballast-Reflector-GYO2009/dp/B004HNPGKA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1302578444&sr=8-3 it seems really cheap so I was wondering if its a good deal or if its just going to fall apart in a month...

quick question, in your dwc do you have air between the water and your net pots? or does your water level with your net pots

your grow is looking real nice! I think if I let them drink down the water a little the airstones might do a better job of circulating the water around so I might try that

its my first grow, have you guys had success with fox farm? I've heard good things about advanced nutrients

I thought t5's were better, does it not matter that much?

I just picked up a couple of 4ft fluorescent light fixtures for real cheap and I was wondering what type of bulbs to put it them. I'm going to be using them for clones mainly in a dwc system. Would something like this work: http://www.1000bulbs.com/category/f28t5-fluorescent-tubes-5000k/...

I have a big 22 gallon rubbermaid dwc system and I'm currently using fox farm grow big and tiger bloom. I'm noticing that the nutrients seem to be sitting on the bottom and not mixing with the water real well. Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks

since they're sprouted from seed so 2 weeks cfl, vegging for 2-3 weeks now. I'm never heard of cutting the fan leaves so thanks for the info. How'd the harvest go with having so many tops?

I thought WW would be a little taller so thats good to know thanks here are some pics

First off, I've learned a ton of stuff so far so keep up the good work riu! Comparing these plants to others I've seen, they look kinda short. I'm worried since the nodes are so close that leaves won't get the right amount of light. What do you guys think? Heres some info: These are 3...

hps for vegging too?
