It's just funny to think back at some of the things you use to think when you first started. I guess your right tho it's not bein an idiot its just bein smart actually and tryin to take percautions. Thanks for correctin me there, Great positive thinkin Franco

I dont think so Dirth. I think Magnetic Coil Ballasts can run off a genny. I was real paranoid when I first started growin so I thought I was gonna have to buy a genny and run everything off of it because I thought 2 lights would be this huge sign to the cops that suposably check your electric...

So I guess if you wanted to you could just hook a ups up to a generator and your lights up to the ups and have a constant power supply ( as long as there's fuel )

To answer that Dirth, My Ballasts are Lumatek Electronic ballasts For some reason they r not able to run off a genny

Since you guys are on the subject of UPS's and battery backups I wanted to get your thoughts. This might be a stupid idea but I was just tryin to think up ways of having back up power for lights. Since the light's are not able to run off a generator, do you think you could run battery charges...

Ok but the droopyness will get better correct? Even the leaves that just have the damaged crispy tips should still perk back up right?

Ok guys just got back from checkin them and I raised the lights a lil bit more. I think I might see signs of them starting to recover from the lack of oxygen. The only thing I am really noticing now is the tips of the leaves are very dry and crunchy. If I were to touch them they would crack and...

i think you may have backed the water down too far I was thinking that I might have done the same thing but I wasnt too sure. ...try to make it so the water is just below the bottom of the cubes... dont let the cubes go underwater, but try to get the taproot that comes out the bottom of the...

I think my lights r about 3 - 4ft above the lights but I would lean more towards the 3ft or maybe a lil closer from what I remember. Im about to go back to the house and check them again so ill get the exact measurment here in a lil bit

Sorry bout the misuse of words there. I shouldnt have said scrap, I dont plan to just throw the system out I am just not gonna use it for my main system. I was gonna just use them to gow some of my seeds out so I am able to pick the males out then was gonna take my cuttings off of them for...

Great guys I appriciate all the help so far but I need some more unfortunatly :cry: Since I lowered the levels yesterday I thought I would go in today and the plants would be looking alot more healthy. I was wrong they r worse. 1. The plants r still very droopy which is kinda expected because...

Again sorry to reply so quick but I have been paying attention to the strains everyone has been growing and was curious. I am looking for plants that have a very large yeild and are potent at the same time. Has anyone ever heard or had the new Elephant Bud and Upstate from BCSeeds.com...

I got a quick question for ya stink or anyone else who has been following the thread for a while. I bought two 400 watt lights with Son Agro bulbs. Im gonna build your system to your exact specs as space is no problem. How much more light do you think I am gonna need to get your kind of harvest...

Thats exactly what im thinking. My roots are only bout an inch out of the rapid rooters. The thing is most of that root growth has been since i have moved them into the system and under the 400 waters. I wish when I first popped my seeds I would have bought a couple of decent cfl's because the...

Wow!! Finally to the last page! First off thank you Stinkbud, I have been sitting quietly here reading this thread straight for 4 days now. I started at page 1 and didnt think it would end, not that Im complaining because its been a great thread!! I am new to hydro and I am so upset because I...

Thanks man I appriciate it! Im sure you know what its like when its your first grow and all u want is everything to be perfect. All I have done for a couple months before I started is read and read as I cant seem to get enough of this stuff, but anyways sorry bout the wrong termanolagy thing...

Sorry bout wrong terms "underoxengenated" I understand what you are saying. The question about not enough air stones or bigger pump cannot be an issue. I have spent extra $ and care on this issue to make sure that was not a problem. The light issue I understand. If you read my original page I...

Thanks man thats what I was thinking. I appriciate the input. Im gonna lower levels in morning. Also would underwatering cause same problem?
