    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I'm using a cycle timer of 45 seconds ON followed by 45 x 5 seconds OFF. I just turned it up to 45 x 2 seconds ON, followed by 45 x 4 seconds OFF. Maybe it wasn't getting enough water/nutes. My humidity has always been running in the low 30s, could this cause the cupping and splotchy yellow...

    Dave's First LED Grow Using Area 51

    Looking good, dave. What's the distance from your LED to the base of the plant? Which cal-mag product did you get? Why is cal-mag used as a supplement, doesn't Advanced Nutrients add this in their Sensi prodcuts? Sorry if it's a newbie question.

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I modified my sprayers manifold to 4 sprayers from the worthless 27 EZ Clone sprayers that I started out with. I have 4 more taped holes that I can uncover to extend the spray should I be successful in cloning the plants hopefully next week. I have to do research on keeping a mother cloner...

    Seedling to vegging transition question.

    Here a picture of the seedling that look like a goner: You can see the discolored single root in the middle. That was all that was there and the edges of the first leaves were yellowed and curled. I left it in the net pot and really though it was over and a few days later I see the some...

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I don't think I'll need the pH up as I'm growing aeroponic. The nutes bring down pH and if I want to adjust up, I only have to add tap water which I run through a Brita filter.

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    Thanks, dave. The plants are starting to take off. The first picture has only the veg switch blue lights on. When the veg and flower switches are both on, the 300W LED light is too bright and just drowns out the picture and the detail is missing. That's why I took the 3rd picture with the...

    Seedling to vegging transition question.

    Thanks, twisted. That's what I'm going to do in the future. I just about destroyed 2 seedlings extracting the rapid rooters. One looked dead and the single root stared to discolor. I kept it under the 300W LED and the aeroponic sprayers and a week later new roots started to branch out! I...

    Germinating Seeds in Rapid Rooters

    I germinated seeds in a covered mug of water. I placed the mug on top of the cable TV box which gave it a tepid heat boost. I knocked the seeds down and they germinated in a day to a day and a half. When they sprouted a quarter inch of white root, I placed them in the rapid rooters and under...

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    You make a good point that I hadn't consider the cost, I'm using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A + B. The veggies would also serve as a diversion if someone happened to notice by grow, I would pull out tomatoes as a ruse, haha! I picked up a Soler & Palau TD-100X In-line Exhaust Fan. Nice and...

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    Should I get some pH down or use lemon or apple cider vinegar? I didn't even think about the vegetable grow cycles. Veg seeds are so cheap, I'm experimenting to keep the wife happy, haha.

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    Thanks, dave. I have my nutes up to 300 ppm, ph is 6.7. Should I worry about the ph being a bit high for aeroponics? I'm looking to clone these plants in 2-3 weeks to fill the net pots. I am also germinating cucumber, tomatos and squash to add to the mix.

    Well I have been going through some growing pains as I learn as I grow with the kindness of you folks. First off, after germinating the seeds in water and placing the seedlings in Rapid Rooter: Day 6 with only the vegging switch on: Day 8 - vegging switched on: I wanted to get the neoprene...

    Best ponics spray nozzle I have found.....

    With a 1/4" hole, can you just drill a 1/4" and screw these into 1/2" PVC pipe? Rather than buy the 1/4" tread adapters?
