i am so fucking sick of resin hitting my bowl :wall:

btw i only have like 105 volts at the outlet the ballast is plugged into

some more pics, they seem to be growing even faster with the lucas formula :bigjoint: so far so good... i added back a gallon of full strength nutes today, there are a little over 10 gallons in the res now.

i don't have room for a bigger res........

I am using 0-8-16 GH Lucas in flower and find that my nutrient PPMs are climbing every day as the water evaporates. I have been just adding full strength nutes. How best to reduce this ppm upward creep? > Just weaken the nute PPM that I top off with? yes, to one third of original 0-8-16.. try...

haha ok, well i'll see what happens and make the decision when it comes time to add water.

well i mean IF you had to use the lucas formula which method WOULD you use?

nope no rockwool or anything, just hydroton and roots

thats what i'm trying to do! :mrgreen: which add back method would you use? adding full strength nutrient solution back and changing the res every grow cycle, or adding just PH'ed water and changing the res when you have added back an amount of water equal to your res size.

forgot to add the last 3

first flood with the lucas formula! as you can see i also raised my flood depth a bit. i did this trying to coax the roots up higher in the pots. they don't seem to be bothered by the extra depth, i have already done about 5 or 6 floods at this depth

i am following the lucas formula exactly, here it is from the man himself- General Hydroponics Flora Series Feeding Strategy - Lucas Formula G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom) 0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12) The numbers above indicate the number of milliliters (ml) of Flora Grow, Micro or...

yes i have read everything over and over again. its screwed in tight. all connections are good. it takes 2 minutes to warm up. the green light flashes when it is warming up, then turns solid green when its up to temp. the hps is in now so we'll see what happens

i put the hps back in. i also put a fan on the ballast to keep the heatsink cooler. its seems to be alot cooler now

and it just happened again. i'm putting the hps back in now. i'm praying it solves the problem

it just happened again. i hope its just the old metal halide bulb. i unplugged and waited 5 then it fired right back up. if it does it one more time i'm putting the hps back in...

OK so i did my first res change! just finished. it was really easy! but i used way more nutes than i though i was gonna. next time i'll be buying gallons of micro and bloom. i used the lucas formula. i put 10 gallons in my res. then i put in 80ml of micro and 160ml of bloom. that...

well its working now, we'll see what happens...

ok so something weird just happened. the light went out and the ballast show the fault setting. it says to unplug for 5 minutes then plug it back in.....i'm waiting with it unplugged. i hope its the bulb not my new ballast...
