just read through today. Nice and Interesting thread you've got going. I dont really know to much about leds so i would like to see what the turn out is even though i think you are stressing the hell out of your girls.

Get rid of that dirt put that baby in a pot with the rocks ...
if youre growing hydroponics then you need to lower your ph to about 5.6ish. what kind of medium are you using for the plants? you should do just fine 3 times a day. it really doesnt matter as long as you have a well aerated medium that drains well.

thanks bud. i was actually thinking of starting some new ones with plain water until they show me some symptoms of lack of nutes to distinguish the characteristics of the two.
