keep the nutes around 1000pm/1.5ec and you'll be set. As far as the pump goes, watch out for anything with a horsepower (1/2hp, 1/4hp, whatever) as they tend to heat the water up a lot, ive tried this. Go with like a 1000gph mag drive pump as they dont heat up.
Do it! Yeah thats sick, way cheaper than over here. 6" pipe from the hardware store is almost 3 times as expensive as 4". I'd order it from the uk but the shipping would most likely make that pointless.
Hey guys, sorry it's been so long. Ive had a string of injuries and other shit to deal with but all is going well. No camera at the moment either, but I will find one to use for the preharvest pics. Been combating the PM and winning with only about 18 days left so hopefully i can keep it at bay...
yo rzza, looks tight. Have you thought about putting some sort of reflective tape or material over the black tubing? Seems like it might heat up your nutrient solution quite a bit. Looking good though, well done!
Has anyone ever experienced leaf burn from foliar sprays? About 10% of the canopy has minor burn. It's from the zero tolerance, guess I should have diluted it. I have used it before without diluting, but the difference I believe is that this time I absolutely soaked every plant. They still look...
Glad to have you Jig, yeah I think my problem last grow was that because I used BM it caused the distance between nodes to be very short so I had to prune a lot to keep the mold risk down. I think this may have been detrimental to the final yield. Without the BM the plants have completely filled...
So as the title suggests, I have found some powdery mildew again. I went today and bought a gallon of Ed Rosenthal's Zero Tolerance Herbal Fungicide and went to town on my girls about 2 hours before lights on. This stuff has seemed to control it in the past, the only issue with a spray is that...
Good luck with the grow, hopefully it works out for ya. I would suggest putting the dams in if you are putting clones directly in, as they probably wont have enough root mass to dam it up yet. You could leave them in there, might as well. Get the water level just to the bottom of the cup and you...
Welcome to the new thread 22urbo! No dams in this system, although I'd still consider it more RDWC than NFT as by the time they are in the flowering system, the roots are enough to dam it up so that the tubes are 1/2 to 3/4 full. By the end of the grow I have had to lower the flow via stop...
Heyy 22urbo, 12 inches sounds good. My tubes are stacked 8" apart (12" room for growth including the 4" diameter of the tubes) and the plants were spaced evenly around the ring, i think about 14" but I eyeballed it when i cut the holes for each plant site. You are correct, the more space between...
And here is the next round, 44 Golden Goat plants vegged for about 4 weeks each, currently 10 days into bloom.

Hey guys, so my last yield was a little disappointing. I believe I may have gone a little scissor happy when pruning so this round I am going to allow the plants to grow out a little fuller, closer to the bulbs. I am also discontinuing the use of Humboldt County's Own Bushmaster and Gravity. I...
aaahh.... oh well. I got just under 1000g (34 oz) which i think is simply because i pruned too much. Letting it grow out a bit more this round, plus not using bushmaster or gravity as they both seem to cause problems with too dense of foliage. We'll see how this one goes...
