Nice strain menu there Amigo! One reco for HG during flower is to supplement with CAL-MAG. For some reason HG seems to be weak in this area. I noticed a huge diff in the health of the plants vs. not using it on previous grows. We use hydro so I'm not sure about your soil methods but for...

I veg 24/0 using T-5's but talked to a veteran grower today that told me he sets his clones under 1000W HPS in his flower room and runs them at 18/6 to veg. Once they reach the size he like based on the strain. he throws the 12/12 trigger. Seems unorthodox to me and a lot of extra energy - but -...

A word of caution on the Sentinel MDT-1: There was a recall on last years models. Mine was acting up and took it in the shop I purchased at. They sent it back to factory in Asia along with a pallet of others and I still haven't gotten it back (six weeks later). I was told that they brand new...

I'll second the Cal Mag vote. Just used it for the first time and it rapidly turned around my ailing ladies now in 4th week of 12/12. Girls are back to lush green state in one week.

You've got a good point. I am using 4 hoods inline right now but they only need to cover a 5' wide spread. Is there a way to install a light rail that would move the entire row of lights from right to left in an 8' wide space?

http://www.gothydro.com/magnum-xxxl-8in-air-cooled-reflector/ Just ordered 4 of these bad boys for a new space = 8' x 22' long. Cant wait too see the light spread. Hoping if centered in the ceiling that the will reach both side effectively. Will be popping in a 1000w HPS on existing digital...

I pulled the infected leaves off and am thinking about a sulphur spray for garden fungicide. Will post some update pics tonight. Funny thing is the spots seem more inside the leaf rather than on the surface. No sign of bugs - but I haven't checked with a scope yet.

Well Boys and Girls I am challenged with trying to manage several problems trying to grow the following strains in the same flower room: Lemon Kush Master Kush Sour Diesel GDP White Russian LA Confidential This is an indoor grow - three weeks into 12/12. Flood/Drain Hydro on the full line of...

You will like the ebb & flow and if that price is still right - $399.00 is a bitchin' price. I paid $570.00 for mine. But that's Calif for you, where EVERYTHING is more expensive.

Hard for me to say as I'm only in my 2nd grow with this system. The first batch yielded 2# of Purple Kush from 18 sites and only 1# of GDP from 18 sites. This is off topic - BUT - The GDP really struggled from the get-go. Lots of lower leaf trouble w/ yellowing and brown spots. They got real...

Appreciate the feedback fellas. The plants are in 4x4 Rockwool surrounded by Hydroton pebs. Using House & Garden Nutes - full line along w/ Great White. The Multi Flow System with brain bucket is very efficent with low mainteanance. Room has never dropped below 55 degrees. Temp Range runs from...

Was in the local Hydro Shop today and got into a discussion over watering times. We use a Multi-Flow flood and drain and water for 30 minutes every 12 hours in the flower phase (12/12). The boys at the shop suggest only watering during the times the lights are on. Theory apparently is to help...

Thanks I Grew - Seems to me the only benefit of cloning from Mothers is the schedule. Right now when I take cutting from the plants just prior to 12/12 mode - I use the cloner for about a week then have to veg for nearly 7 weeks which makes for some monster plants when they go into the flower...

Here's the system I use which is very similar to the one Joesmama posted. It works like a charm. I utilize 2 - 55 gal barrels: one with nutes and one with a reserve of RO water to switch over to on flush day (every 2 weeks). http://www.hydroponics.net/items/details/multiflow.asp Good Luck...
