Oh jeez I don't have any of them uploaded anywhere, trying to pull from my phone but there's no URL for it.

Looking at that, I think I never had my bulb low enough. The room I had that setup in was much smaller, but I generally had the light about 50% inside the canopy. I also didn't have a screen like that to hold everything back. Maybe I'll give it another go after this run is finished with the...

Pulling 1.5 off 630 CMH? Not bad at all! Like I said, I just did it to give it a shot with no reflector. Maybe I'll give it another shot with winter time coming, seems like a good solution to lack of overhead space. I'm assuming you wrap the plants around the light, not just underneath it, right?

I mean if dudes at the end of the cycle anyway it's not gonna cost him much if anything to finish out the last week, and if nothing else, it'll be nice to smoke himself. Plus then if he does upgrade he can see, feel, and taste first hand the difference.

As for this run, I personally flush at 8 weeks and pull at 9, you might want to extend that out another week, since theyre recommended to run up to ten weeks. I also taper the nutes off about ten percent on the last week of feeding to help alleviate shock from straight flushing.

I second running hids. A cheap magnetic 600w hps ballast, bulb and reflector can be had for under 300 dollars, and that's brand new without shopping around. You'll have buds the diameter of soda bottles. With a dialed in setup and a little experience, especially with a decent strain you can pull...

Gotcha- I've only been doing this a couple years following through my predecessors direction, I'm just continuing to do what works I guess. Someday I'll experiment but it's hard to fix what isn't broken. Might be a little more expensive with liquid but I just buy it bulk to bring down the per...

Yes, he's very budget oriented! 80 dollar Amazon LEDs :D Also- I don't doubt that most nutes start out powdered somewhere in manufacturing, I guess I just find it easier to suspend another liquid in liquid.

Hello good morning! I was using Vanilla Kush the first run and Quantum Kush the second run. Where as I can usually yield 7-800g from a grando with the vanilla, I pulled about 500 with the vanilla with smaller buds and lots more to trim. I wouldn't doubt if my inexperience in training that style...

Doesn't look bad for 4 weeks. I was never impressed with led- I had a friend pull about a tenth of what I pull using led, same wattage, same strain, same nutes. Although he didn't clearex at all so he might've run into nute buildup.

Looks like the danner pumps are the real deal! I might have to move to something like that if it gives me peace of mind. Although I do kind of like being sure I'm in the room every day, helps to keep me on top of weird issues. I don't use a ppm gauge or digital ph gauge, so I have to be a little...

Currently I'm using cheap Amazon pumps, kedsum to be exact. They have been more reliable than the... Active aqua I think? I also keep a few of each on the shelf since they are so cheap- 20 bucks or so for an 880gph.

I've always been a little sketched out about powdered nutes, I feel like it's harder to get them to stay dissolved. And I run florescent for veg with the occasional led if I run out of space, and hid for bloom with an LEC thrown in for mixed spectrum in one room. I've gone back and forth with...

Looks pretty healthy to me to be honest. Leaves are uniform color. No shriveling or dying that I can see. Better to under water than over water in my opinion. Strengthens the roots and forces them to seek out moisture. You have a wider margin of error with soil or soil mix than with a hydro...

Yeah that's out of my realm of knowledge. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Looking to try dwc at some point, just haven't gotten into it yet
