It has begun! My girls are maturing very nicely. The pre-flowers are starting to swell. eight weeks from today, I'll be cutting down some monster bush! I've started to increase the dosage of nutes. Slowly, but surely I'm increasing the ED/PPM. Right now, my PH is steady at 5.7. I've raised my...

Hey Zeke, You didnt say you had a window in the space! That makes things a lot easier. Make a window box for your exhaust fan, and you're all set on the heat problem mate! Temp = (BTUs in)-(BTUs out) increase the BTUs out by exhausting to the outside(still use a can fan combo for smell...

I'm going to have to reserve judgment on it until I've worked with another hydro system. It's producing great results so far. That much is undeniable. I've got some complaints, but I'm not sure if they're due to the system, or due to my inexperience and the complexity of using hydroponics in a...

Look into a 'can fan combo' at your local grow shop. The hole in my closet is up high, and leads to another closet. I drilled some holes in the bottom of my door to allow for adequate air intake. As for what it's going to cost, I'd say that's up to you. I'd personally buy an air cooled...

I grow in a very small space with a 600W HPS. If you can keep the air outside the space cool, having a carbon filter and exhaust fan combination ducted through your lamp and the resulting hot air ducted out of the grow space will provide a number of benefits. For one, it will remove all smell...

It looks like over watering to me, but I'm not an expert or anything. What is the PH in the soil?

What do you guys think? Happy girls?

Yep. I pussed out. I decided ultimately to switch to the HPS on wednesday, and hold off on switching the light cycle until Sunday. I figured this would cause the least amount of stress to my pretties.

Well things in D0z3rville are great, boys and girls. Ever since I put the new bulb in the fixture, the plants have gone all hormonal on me. They're smelly like they're in full bloom, and there's no buds yet. Whew! On top of that, the PH in my system has chilled out and is now resting happily at...

It's looking great my friend! One week down, fifteen to go!

I use a carbon filter in the room with the airflow going out of the room through the reflector. There's never a smell, and as a bonus, you create a negative pressure in your space. Great for happy plants. Make sure to stop by a muffler shop and grab thick rubber bands to hang your fan from to...

definitely overwatering. I concur. Foil doesn't work well. If you cant get Mylar, flat white paint is loads more reflective then aluminum.

Hey Jahred, What you're going to need depends a lot on your space. One thing I would urge you to do before buying anything is measure everything in your space. Make a top view, and an elevation sketch of your space, to scale, on graph paper. Bring that into the hydro shop with you, if you...

Last night, I swapped the bulb from the Metal Halide to mySuperHPS. Jeebuz that fucking thing is bright! Whoashit! how do people work in rooms with those things burning? I've been reduced to wearing my snowboarding goggles in there when the light is on. whew! Anyways, more pics:

hmm.... I think I'm going to switch the bulbs and time tonight, and re-fertilize Sunday with the flowering nutes. Everything I have read says that it takes from one to two weeks to begin flowering in earnest after switching the light off, so four days of 12/12 with the veg nute mix should be...

I've decided it's time to flower. I'm waiting to see if people think it's a better idea to wait to switch the light until I can load the solution with flowering nutes. If it's better to wait, I'll be switching to flowering on Sunday. Otherwise, it's this afternoon. As part of the shift, I'll...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the feedback! You all confirmed my suspicions that it is, indeed, time to bring them over to 12/12 light. Here's the thing though, presently, the system is loaded with nutes for vegging, and I'm running a 600W metal Halide. Should I switch the light cycle to 12/12 and my...

I posted this query on my grow journal(the pics are there): https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/71467-dozer-s-first-hydro-purple-3.html#post859283 Do you guys think my girls are almost ready to flower? I am beginning week 5 of veg, and I'm worried about vertical clearance. I have about 4...

How does it look guys? Loads of people viewing, but nobody commenting. :(
