Getting bigger...and a tad stinky; the added wattage (up to 600w from 400w) definitely lessens the stretching, and I can already tell a difference in the bud density (tight versus airy). Peace!

This is well into my third year of four cycles each, and I have not experienced this in my reservoirs, including flower, since my first year of noobdom. Perhaps, as I stated, there is need for further investigation; water source, nutrient line, temperatures, etc...Sorry to sound contrary, but...

Hey Brute - once again, I 'juana say I agree with your choice. I can't tell you how much easier it is for me as a noob to keep everything simple stupid. Independent buckets, no organics, a good sterilizing additive, and lots o' air (or agitation - I hear you, flumers & anti-airstoners, and I...

Hey randybishop - I can tell you with 100% assurance that the small reservoir size is not the ONLY factor. I run 2 gallons a girl in independent 5 gallon buckets, and since dialing in my ppms, my pH is perfectly stable (within a .1 fluctuation) for 5 days at a time. Of course this starts the...

Hey smoke - I have heard bubbleponics described differently than what you have described - sounds more like an ebb & flow system in buckets you've got going. Try looking on the internutz for a product called the Big Boy Ebb & Flow system, not to purchase, but to read how their system works...

Hey waterdawg - I'm listening, hope everyone else is; I actually just came across something else stating the same thing! I've now read mixed messages on this subject, one stating to reduce stress by leveling out the ph for a bit, and another stating that the meters don't pick up on organic...

I may just be showing my age, but... Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...anyone? Hey RIU, this isn't a journal, it's supposed be a shared blooper and goofer thread, you know, some place we can all come on those bad days when we get home to find...lights burned out, forgotten waterings, fallen...

The pics you see are of a 400w; and my 6" CanFan cycles so much air that I can rest the flat of my palm on the tube itself and it's barely lukewarm. I will say though, that I did get some leaf bleaching (maybe not the correct term?...) from too much light that close to me leaves - not burn, but...

Just out of curiosity, I think I read below that your roots were exploding in the 8ph solution...that seems bizarre in and of itself - what kind of meter are you using? When did you last callibrate? I killed a batch of clones due to a bad meter that had me chasing ghost problems (aka, as usual...

Yeah, MadDog, I think your assessment is right on, and I also think that Clay has some solid knowledge of the additives that I do not use, so you may want to ping him back for a bit more info if still interested in running the full spectrum of GH products. Peace.

Wow, SF - quite a ride through this thread. Saw some really nice (and clean! I'm a neat freak) grow pics from yer past. I'll defo be watchin' this take shape. Good luck! By the way, I've got fam in Santa Ynez valley and I'm originally from Aptos Cal. (Santa Cruz for better reference) - I miss...

Thank you, SF - I actually started in hydro in 2011; never grown in soil. On my phone at the moment, but I'll hit you back up when I'm at a better tool - I dig talking shop, and I love seeing everyone's fun with this beauty of a plant. Peace!

Thank you, sir! I actually top my trees twice during veg, producing more than one dominant cola, so what you see in the pics are two main branches bent, not just one. I have read many threads on super cropping, and most caution not to do it during flower but rather during veg, with a good two...

My only suggestion to add to the other solid advice here is that you may want to take a chunk of your soil out of the plant pot, add some water to it, let it sit for a little while (I dunno, an hour?) and then test the ppms and ph. You will want your rinse water and your first week in reservoir...

Hey MadDog, I certainly am in zero position to dispute the actual company's feeding charts, but I will say that I believe they are a bit generalized, and I seem to lock my plants up anytime I use above 50% of the recommended percentage across the board for the 3 part GH Flora series. Definitely...

Hola, Parker. I run something similar to Dsa, but I wanted to add that extraction should really go outside the grow room itself, otherwise you'll be recirculating a good portion of the same air and your CO2 levels will become slightly depleted. I suck external air into a a grow space through my...

Hola, Mr. Brute - I just wanted to chime in prod you not to give up on 'dro, yet (beauty of a rhino you had there). Have you considered trying Dutch Master Zone instead of H2o2? I am not sure what your cost will be on a monster water sucker (I only run a few 5 gallon buckets independently (1ml...

Hehe...I like big girls. Here are a few pics of a seven foot sativa supercropped in a five and a half foot grow space (I was scared when I did it, and I now I love the option):

Hey Tommyy, I run with GH nutes as well, but all three parts, and I learned over last year to completely ignore any and all GH nute calculators and schedules. I agree with PetFlora there; I actually just flipped a 2 foot plant to 12/12, and her nutes are still under 500ppm in a 2.5 gal...

Hola RIU! Been a while since I added my verbal masturbation to the mix. Thought I'd see if anyone else out there likes to get goofy with their grows just for fun. My friends love to give me a hard time about the trees I grow, not because they're trees, but because I grow them in a tent instead...
