    Stupid Newbie Veg Question. Hydroponic

    Well, those Indicas will probably fill up a 2X2 area pretty fast. If it were me, I would plan on 3 females; if you end up with more, keep the best 3 (I know, it's tough chopping females!) Since you're growing in a 4 sq ft area, and you might want 3 main colas per sq ft, I would shoot for 12 main...

    Stupid Newbie Veg Question. Hydroponic

    Not a stupid question at all bongsmilie. I don't think headroom is going to be an issue in your grow...but there are other factors that can determine how long you veg for. Basically, a 400 watt light will support a 3' X 3' wide by 12-18" deep box that you want to fill with flowers. Anything...

    HELP plss

    By "RM past 30%" do you mean relative humidity? And by "sumps in the bottom" do you mean water pumps (looks like you've got an eletrical cord going into the res)? Are you using the pumps to feed water to the roots, AKA Bubbleponics? Regardless, from the pictures it looks like you're having pH...

    When you say it climbs about a point in a day, does it then stabilize or keep climbing? What pH do you start at, and where does it stabilize at? What nutrients and supplements are you using? What kind of water are you using - RO, distilled, or tap? Where are you at in your grow (how old are the...

    Hydro Set Up Questions??????

    Fuck yeah, listen to Splifford - he nailed it. +rep for that answer! $130 for what you got sounds like a really good deal to me. The round rocks are Hydroton, I believe.

    oh shit... bubbleheads here asap plz lol

    Are you saying that your res water is foaming? Are you sure it's due to soap? Are you using organic nutes? A build-up of foam on top of a bubbling water system can be the result of protein-skimming - the air-bubbles stripping the water of dead organic material and waste materials. All of this...

    WTF ? air temp is 77 res. temp is 90 help

    Sure, the humidity in the res alone will keep the roots moist for a while. But if you're worried you can hand-water them every 15 mins or so. This is just a troubleshooting test, not a permanent solution. You should see the temp start dropping within a half-hour. If it's the pump, I would go...

    WTF ? air temp is 77 res. temp is 90 help

    I'd say it's your water pump inside the reservoir that's heating up your water. Reach in there and feel how hot it is. Try turning the pump off for a couple of hours and see what happens to the water temp.

    Using Fox Farm line in DWC/Bubbleponic;Flushing in flower?

    Hey Mongo, I don't use FF nutrients, but after looking at their schedule it looks like they're talking about flushing before going to full-scale flower nutes (after the 2-week "transitional" nute period between start of 12/12 and flower nutes). I personally believe this is standard operating...

    canna aqua ph problems

    I don’t use Canna nutrients, but the problem is probably not nutrient-related in my opinion. The Canna web site says that “The formula is made up so the plants regulate the pH themselves so that the pH in the nutrient tank always remains within the optimum pH range. This means that having once...

    I could, but there shouldn't be any need to. The buds should gravitate towards the light at various angles, depending on where they are in the screens - the buds high up in the screens may even be pointing downward, depending on how much more they stretch.

    Getting cooler by the day now that summer's over. Stay's in the low 80's with the lights on now, and I've got plenty of air movement.

    Here’s an update on my grow. The first picture is last week, the end of week five from seed. I started 12/12 two days later. Here we are after a week of 12/12. They’re still on veg nutes and just starting to show sex. I’m going to flower nutes in a few days. I figure...

    Roseman is spot on with his post. Let me try to expand for your particular grow. In my opinion the idea is to make your canopy a box full of buds. In your case, based on your 600 watt light, the box is 4 feet by 4 feet square and 18 inches deep. This is the “flower zone” that your 600 watt light...

    Yep, you know what I'm talking about! I sold off most of my high-dollar reef equipment, wish I had kept the chiller, though. I would definitely use a chiller if I had one, I'll probably invest in one before next summer. You might be amazed how hot you can let the top of a girl get if you keep...

    Thanks, man! Most of the stuff I think I know about water comes from my reef tank days. You have to keep perfectly balanced water to keep coral alive and happy! And I think I've nearly perfected growing in high heat. It's still hits 100* where I live even now, consistently in the 100's...

    Whoa, I'm ripped :eyesmoke: I just vaped some AK 48 in honor of your grow :clap: I had the same problem with my AK 48 grow, and I had them in a screen. I nearly ran out of room. It's an f'ing awesome plant. Bushy as hell, lots of bud sites, especially if you train it well. Nice, big...

    I would guess at canopy level, since the leaves are transpiring water. But I would say, generally speaking, that if you are exhausting your room and using a fan to direct air through the canopy then most of the humid air from the canopy should be exhausted out of the grow room. If this is the...
