    The BubbleHead Gang

    Let me see if I've got this right...you're in mid-flower and you're only on week four of the FF schedule - still in the veg cycle with your nutes? Are you using the Cha-Ching yet? Seems like to me that your plants are screaming for more of the flower nutes. Sticking with the veg nutes for a...

    I'm growing PPP and I know exactly what you're going through...amazing growth rate during the first few weeks of flowering! My plants have tripled in size the last three weeks...I'm super-cropping like never before to try to slow them down!

    So how are my girls looking? What now?

    What you got in there, looks like a mix of Sativa- and Indica-dominant plants. If so, it can be a real pain managing the different growth rates. Are they all feminized seeds? And I assume they're being grown under CFL's? How many CFL's and what size will you have for flowering? Anyways, you...

    A drop in pH during flowering is quite common, as the plants will use more Ca, Mg, and K-ions (which are basic) to produce flowers. My guess is that your current soup is not providing enough of these ions for whatever reason. What kind of water (tap, RO or distilled) and what nutrients at what...

    These plants are growing like a mother, and new buds are popping up through the leaves every day. I literally have no idea how I'm going to make it all fit...I may have to liberally sample along the way...

    And I used it to buy the air pump that's powering the stones in the upper reservoir! Nice upgrade from what I was previously using...it's a bubble-topia in there now!

    Ha, I never heard of that! Amazing how much analyzing and trouble we'll go through to grow a freaking weed! I finally got around to starting a thread on my grow. I just added a post about res changes and maintaining pristine water; check out the link in my sig...

    Thanks! I've been growing hydroponically off and on since my college days in the early 80's (dating myself). Though I have been involved in larger-scale ops in the past, I only grow for personal legal MMJ use now. This will be my 6th grow using a 250 watt light, each one has yielded...

    $5000 + grow room and my buds suck

    Dude already said his room was adequately cooled, and an exhaust fan will suck out the CO2 that he's using as well. If it's properly ventilated the lights will be isolated from the room with cool tubes and ducting, and the room itself will only ventilate if the environmental controller detects...

    $5000 + grow room and my buds suck

    In my opinion your main problem in the flower room is the fact that you are using a 1000 watt Metal Halide and two 400 watt HPS. You have 1800 watts of poor light for large scale flowering, IMO. The 400 watters will not give you adequate penetration for big, dense buds, and the MH is probably...

    If you use RO then you might want to consider supplementing with Cal-Mag or something similar. What a 'fricking hobby; you want pristine water, but if you strip your tap of minerals through RO you got to spend money to add them back...

    First Time Bubbleponics Grow Problems

    The green stuff on the rockwool is algae. The best way to prevent this is to cover your netpots as best as possible, and to not let the top of the rockwool/grow medium stay wet. This is not a big problem in my opinion This could be due to pH fluxuations or pH related nutrient...

    If you want to lift the lid in a ScrOG the best way is to secure the screen to the lid so that the lid and screen move as one. Keep your water clean and you shouldn't need to clean the res the entire grow, in my opinion. Don't over-nute, keep the water temp down or use H2O2 if you can't, etc.

    Thanks! Hopefully, the planning will pay off. I'm pretty much done training them, they're on their own now. Nice buds, gives me hope. Yeah, I don't go by the advertised flower times, though these plants are growing as fast or faster then anything I've grown before. I'm at least a week ahead...
