Take a seedling: Let it grow for a couple of weeks: Top it to get 8 branches: Let it grow some more, then install a screen: Tie down the branches so the screen fills out. This screen would be too full if you were only doing a horizontal ScrOG: Install the side...

WATER I guess I have good water, it runs at 60-90ppm straight out of the tap, and I rarely have to pH-adjust it after adding the nutrients. For whatever reason, my soup’s pH “sweetspot” is right around 6.2. This is where it likes to stabilize at after it’s been running in the system for a day or...

I use a 5-gallon bucket with a muffin fan on top, filled with absorbent cat litter and ZEP concentrated odor control. Works great!

The closet is vented to the attic with a 120 cfm bathroom ceiling fan: The light is cooled with a 110 cfm computer fan through some PCV drain pipe and PCV couplings. This keeps the tube cool enough to easily hold on to: I also have two oscillating fans blowing up into the canopy...

I vegetated with a 250 watt 55k metal halide bulb mounted in a horizontal hood. The light is raised here for pictures; I lower it right on top of the seedlings, with the light itself about 6-8 inches above the tops. As you can easily tell, everything from the hood to the wiring was DIY...

This is a recirculating DWC consisting of two 12 gallon ice chests connected by plumbing: I didn’t really take pictures during construction, but it’s pretty straight-forward. There’s a 150 gph water pump in the bottom reservoir to pump water to the top reservoir through...

STRAIN: Feminized Pure Power Plant from Nirvana. Description: 100% Feminized Pure Power Plant is a strong mostly sativa variety developed in the late 90’s from South African strains. PPP produces loads of trichomes and has tremendous growth potential. PPP is the latest trend among the big...

It looks like to me that your clones are either in shock or over-watered. By over-watered, I mean the roots aren't getting enough oxygen. If you're running a water pump with tubing up to the pots, you need to slow down the output to a fast drip if you can. Or consider putting the pump on a...

A ppm of 580 is higher then we've been recommending (300-400 ppm), but your clones can probably handle it in my opinion. Like I said on page 3, I would not recommend chasing your pH. Let your pH stabilize; not everybody's will stabilize at the same number. Mine's 6.25, yours is 6.4. They're...

I gave you exact numbers back on page 2. Yes, use 3% peroxide at the level Lt Shiney sides suggested.

Yeah, the glass doesn't fit. I can't take the glass out to show you right now 'cause they just went to sleep. But what i did was to wrap some 3/8" weather stripping - the foam kind that's sticky on one side - around the ends of the tube. You can see the black strip around the end of the tube in...

I've got a DIY bake-around cool tube. Here's a picture of it in it's current configuration: I also just took some pictures of how I use iy in a DIY horizontal hood: I use 4" PCV couplings to mount the Bake-Around. The BA doesn't quite fit in the 4" coupling, so I wrapped some...

C5rftw, Damn, that's beautiful! I can almost smell them from here! Awesome job!!! :clap::clap::clap:

Middle of week 8 from seed. Almost 3 weeks of 12/12. Pure Power Plant, in my attempt at a 250 watt DWC VScrOG:

Exactly! Whatever you use, hold it up to the grow light and make sure it completely blocks the light...nice post!

Hey Crack, Listen to Roseman, he know's this system. One thing, I know someone said to take the foil off the top, but you can see in your picture of the roots that light is getting through the top of your reservoir. I would recommend putting SOMETHING over the top, including the netpots, to...

Nice setup, and I think you're going to love the remote reservoir - makes water maintenance so much easier! Well done :clap:

Nice post, accurate information, the way I did it for years. +rep I've added the "Bubbleponics" tubes for the first stage due to special circumstances - I use insulated ice coolers for my res and the thick lids don't allow me to raise the water level close enough to my pots to keep the...

OK, this is a fairly aggressive treatment I'm recommending here, so use your best judgement. First of all, avoid the subculture or any organic nutes for now. Yes, these organics attract and feed beneficial and symbiotic bacteria and fungi - but they will attract and feed the bad stuff as well...

Well, I'd rather have fast root growth at the beginning. Now that the roots have hit the water, she should take off like a...weed! :joint:
