This is what the light tower looks like out of the unit: The light just hangs inside the tube by its cord. The electrical cord goes through a hole I drilled near the top of the tower. Suspending the light like this allows me to move it up and down within the tube about 4”, giving me...

Things are getting tight around the bottom of the light tower. I've used up all of the wiggle-room that I built into the system; I planned for this (but not really well), and it’s time to raise the light: But first, I need to vape up with some AK-48 from my last grow and turn on...

I got nothing for you, C5rftw. I'd say nute stain, but the discoloration is above the water line. Overall those roots look healthy and well established like they are - or were - growing in good water conditions. The only time I get real nervous is when I do a full reservoir change, unless I'm...

What do you all think about this hermie business...don't use Superthrive or don't supercrop in flower or "OMG - I just opened the door when my plants were sleeping, will they turn hermie?" I've never had a plant turn (knock on wood, that would be a disaster in my current grow) and I beat the...

Thanks, man! I'll be raising the light tomorrow, so I'll go into more detail about how that's set up then...

Thanks! Yeah, I typically have pulled from 5 to 7 oz's from my 250 watt grows, which is enough to keep me going 'til the next harvest. IDK, I don't think 10 or more zips is out of the question with this grow if I can pull it off. My next grow will definitely be less labor-intensive but I think...

This is fairly common, I believe. I like to call it the pH "popping". I believe what happens is that you finally add enough pH-down to overcome the buffer and wham! the pH drops like a rock. Then it doesn't matter whether you add pH up or down - the pH swings wildly because the buffer has been...

I'll be raising the light tomorrow and will go into more detail about the light setup then...

I’m going to talk a little more about how I mange the water and canopy today, but first a little root porn. I haven’t looked at the roots in about a month, so I took a peek and they’re looking good. The reddish-brown tinge is typical in my experience when using the General...

Holy fuck, that's about the worst bacteria attack I've seen, I almost threw up :spew: What do the plants look like, they got to be drooping like a weeping willow. You need to get aggressive to have any chance of saving these plants. Take the netpot out of the lid, trim off all of the roots...

If it were me, I'd plan on getting three females. You might get more, but three is probably the most you'll be able to support with bushy Indicas anyways. I'm no expert on CFL's, I've never done an entire grow with them, so you'll probably be better off if you seek out someone like Roseman. To...

I use Superthrive early on in the cycle, but I don't use it after the roots have established. No particular reason, though, other then I figured it was more or less a root stimulant. I really haven't done much research on it, though - JonnyBTreed sounds like he knows his shit. I have also...

Man, this is an excellent ScrOG, nice level canopy getting the most out of your lights, exactly what you want: GREAT JOB!

Yep, I took out the drain fitting and put in a screw-in barbed fitting (from Home Depot) with a hose and valve connected to it so I could drain the upper reservoir if necessary. I also use liberal amounts of Plumber's Goop to seal things up, I've yet to have a leak with any of my projects when...

You gotta be nuts to try this...I'm not sure I'll do it again, you got to REALLY love spending time with your plants during the three weeks or so it takes to train them in the screens...I can definitely see issues arising with a significant other - "You love those plants more than me!" Yeah...

They're Igloo Marine Coolers designed for hauling your beer with you when you go boating. They even have a ruler on top for measuring your fish, or buds, or whatever. http://www.igloocoolers.com/products/FullSize/Marine/210/ I got these at WalMart, they were on sale for like 24.99 each if I...

Yeah, I was still pruning two weeks into 12/12. Anything that didn't look like it was going to get adequate light went, and I also thinned out the screens a bit as well so that it wouldn't get unruly - I didn't want all the side shoots layering on top of each other! All the pruning didn't seem...

I don't have much root porn; that picture was taken during the third week from seed and I haven't looked at roots since. I may have to try to get a picture of what they look like now, I reckon they've pretty much filled up the res. Well, if you recall I lost one of my seedlings the first week...

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I believe in bigger reservoirs/fewer water changes. Like you surmised, a holdover from the reef tank days. If I somehow make it through this grow I'll tear apart the system and do a better job of detailing how it works. I'm starting to get paranoid - probably because I'm...

I did a little mini-tutorial on the light in this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/255900-anyone-have-bake-round-cooltube.html I'm going to raise the light this weekend, I'll take some more pictures detailing how it's set up then...
