This is what I have been looking for since I found this site. I will be using a 250 mh for veg and hps for flowering. I will be playing with two northern light crossed with skunk #1 om their own single plant hydro farm recirculating bucket with an added 4 inch air stone for extra yum yums. I think also I will throw the sour kreme in a 5 gallon with soil for fun. I need to do something about ventilation in couple days before my strains arrive. General Hydroponics flora series is what im using to start my plants first hydro ever and I have not even started and I cant sleep. 250 club wuts up.
Welcome to the club Bob, always glad to have more people for sure. Can't wait to see what you got going, when you get it going that is lol. The excitement is intoxicating, literally lol.

Welcome to the 250 Club Mr.. sounds like you have a plan :) lol.. losing sleep.. stay right here and keep us updated..

Doob: I <3 trichs too!!

Have a link? I've been looking into one of those or a new camera. For now I'm going to try the jewlers loupe trick lol.
Dizzle said that his camera is 16 mp and is relatively cheap. It's a point and shoot with a nice macro, I looked at a couple spots that had it for 99 bucks or so. You could probably find it cheaper most likely, it's Canon but I cannot remember the model. You can always ask Dizzle though. The USB scopes are really nice too, however some of them don't take very good quality pictures. I think it's hit or miss on some of these, so be careful and try to read/watch reviews that have samples of pictures prior to purchasing.

That trick will work, actually any lens with high magnification would work really.

Thanks doobs! yea I've been looking into cameras and usb scopes and I think I might just go for a really nice camera when I can afford it! For now I'll pick up a jewlers loop so I can at least attempt to post tric pics lmao! What camera are you using and how much?

I did some research on the macro cameras for the price and the cannon 1100si or something like that was rated very high and sells for less than 100 used. i just don't know about the used camera thing... It had even better reviews then the higher end cannon's though which I thought was wierd!

Lol my camera suuuuuuuuucks in comparison to Dizz's. It's an older Nikon I couldn't even tell you price (It's about 3-4 years old lol), I'll ask Dizzle what model his Canon is if I talk to him later. My camera is good for what it is, but I know there is a hell of a lot better now.

Still takes nice pics Doob..(way better than phone pics :) ) I alternate between an old Nikon Coolpix (5.1 mega pixels) and my Lumix that is 12 Mega pixels.

The girls were thirsty today.. lol. I had to add 2 gals which is a good bit after just a day and 1/2. They must have enjoyed the flush.. the only other thing was that I let the pH stay at 5.9 (usually keep it btw 5.6 - 5.8), maybe I hit the sweet spot.. gonna keep it there for a couple days and see..

Hey all been awhile since i did an update this girl is on day 28 of 12/12 shes coming along swimmingly... the nice weather we've been having has made maintaining the temps very easy and she is loving it. I got a new lumetek digital ballast that can use a 250 to 400w lamp so next grow im planning on trying out a 400w hps. Hope you guys enjoy the pics as much as i enjoy the smell of her. she smells like musty pineapple and getting fruitier by the day. and she shooting out tons of trichs. I cant wait for her to be done prolly another 4 or 5 weeks :bigjoint: ... o i forgot to add i also picked up a 3 gallon air pot that im gonna be using next go around aswell.

Just wish they would invent "Digital Scratch & Sniff" because they smell so good right now. BTW: The CF is working great.. do yourselves a favour and don't waste the time and $$ on the DIY's, I could have 2 of these now for what I spent on DIY attempts for previous grows.

Nice looking plants boys! I'm on day nine of my flower period, but man did I dodge a bullet.

I became concerned that I had not given my plant enough food and I gave it a small bit of nutrients during what would have been a regularly scheduled watering.

It wasn't long before some smaller under growth turned yellow and died, the edge tips of leaves began to curl up, the terminal tips of many of the leaves began to turn lime green, and other leaves became brittle and developed spotty brown regions. Likewise, claw leaves began to appear in the growth tips and there were no signs of any significant stretch. Clear signs of overfeeding it seemed. I flushed to what seemed a satisfactory level and hoped I had done enough to fix my mistake.

My biggest indicator was that it seemed as though everything was happening all at once, all of a sudden.

Growth seems to have resumed, stretch hasn't taken off (I wonder if it will, yet hope it does). I've noticed no more deterioration and the claws seem to have grown out as well.

Looking around RIU, I've noticed a lot of bad nutrient advice. Be it lockout or deficiency, there seems to be a considerable number of misinformed, inexperienced growers simply repeating things they've heard, but never seen. I would have liked to have taken pictures and documented the episode in order to contribute to the community, but the camera is MIA and the phone takes terrible pictures under that HPS.

Either way, here are a few pics of what things are looking like now that we're back on track.
