Assuming your pH meter is correct...
This is the problem. Your pH is very NOT fine; you just think it is.
The problem with growing in coir in autopots is that your pH in your rez is different from your pH at the bottom of the pot -- and that's different as well in your coir.
Your pH in...
I am very curious eNt31 as to your light and tent as a 24"x 48" x 60" is exactly the tent configuration I plan to run. Any issues with your light and set-up over the past month? Any more pics? Very curious and very interested!
Very nice to hear this. Growing has its own rewards at every step along the way; it isn't all about the bud at the end.
That said, when the bud is great, it makes all the rest that much sweeter.
The yield is in the zone for the wattage. That said, I do think you will be able to do much better on subsequent runs. In particular, I think the number of plants can be halved. Combined with a solid SCROG, that approach should allow you to get more light on the buds and less of it on...

Glad to see it worked out for you as I must say I was a little concerned when I saw the initial damage to the roots.
A new option that avoids this issue, is to germinate in Sure to Grow cubes. After the seedling is removed from the cloner, you simply insert the seedling in your...
Bushmaster is a product ideally used at the onset of flowering to stop vertical growth. It mainly kicks the crap out of internodal spacing, but it will reduce vertical growth, even at this relatively advanced stage of your grow. Successful use on sativas is reportedly mixed by some growers...
Probably should have gone with some Bushmaster on those things a while back - but in any event - going hard at em now with Bushmaster is not going to hurt and may well help.
Scrog next time will prevent this if you jump on it fast enough; the perils of starting from seed, right?
What do you...
Do you really think you needed side lighting, or was this as much an issue with the lack of SCROG and a very dense canopy as anything else?
What benefits do you attribute to the side lights you added so far?
Thanks for the pics. I can see how it all came together for you. A few comments - some mentioned already...
1) You can take the seedling out of the rapid rooter and put it right into the cloner after the tap root shows. By removing the rooter from your main aeroponic unit, it will reduce very...

This cab sounds very similar to the one I have planned, and I would absolutely _love_ to see the pics of this thing being constructed - especially the DIY chiller.
None of these pics are coming up for me though. I generally hang on ICMag - not here and this may be a terribly...
