I am using the fox farm hydro feeding schedule, it says to use grow big @ 2tsp/gal

So plants are two weeks old, in third week of veg now grown from seed. They are in rockwool cubes I'm using a hydroponic set up using Fox Farm Grow Big Hydro, was using Big Bloom as well but just changed res yesterday and didn't put any Big Bloom this time since it really soils the res up. PH...

Thanks for all the info guys. I think I'm gunna go with two 54W T5's since that would amount to 10,000 lumens which is perfect for the area I plan to keep the mother plants. I might go with just a few CFLs for the clones though. Trying to keep the total wattage as low as possible.

You can buy dollar store wrapping paper and use the shiny reflective side...cheapest mylar around.

If I bought 100W per plant in CFLs that would be the same power consumption as a 400W MH bulb. I don't see the advantage other than heat issues with the MH. Would a 250W MH do better than 300-400W of CFLs?

That's another thing I was unsure about. I read somewhere to use 100W for one plant and an additional 50W per plant. Is that using the altered rating on the CFL bulb or the Incandescent equivalent? I was planning on getting about 8 CFLs in the 26W range about 2-3 per plant.

Sup guys haven't been on the site in a while but it's about that time again... For my next grow I'm planning on using a 5'x2' closet area to house 3 or 4 mother plants which I will take clones from. I plan on LSTing them regardless of lighting choice just because I have in the past and it does...

I built mine about 2 weeks ago, works wonders, a whole bottle of Xtra Lemon lasts about a week and a half, and my place smells lemony fresh all day. Also to those of you planning on making one, I recommend buying an adapter with adjustable current flow for your CPU fan so you can adjust the speed.

What's going on with everyone's deodorizer buckets? I need to know!!! Planning on going out and getting some supplies to make this today since I already have 2 old CPU fans.

Yes, I have done this. I'm not saying to do it until you have clear clean water, because obviously dirt will seep through as well. I usually only water until there is runoff, then just let it drain until the water stops dripping out. However, there is a noticable difference between water with...

What are your temps at? I've heard if it's too cold the plant starts turning purple.

I grow in soil so I wouldn't know. Generally, the bigger the plant gets the more water it needs.

Does the plant feel weak when u lift the stems? Looks underwatered to me.

Well, technically, flushing is not the same as watering without nutes. I usually water my plants with regular water every other watering. If you want to flush your plants (assuming you're growing in soil), take them to the bathtub and water them until you see some runoff coming from the holes...

Also, you wouldn't have to spray the buds, just the leaves where u see eggs and bugs.
