id change the rez water and use a very small amount of nutes. you barely need any at that point. make sure the pH is ~5.8 and the water temp is idealy below 70. if you have all of those factors dialed in then I'd expect your roots to look better and grow faster.
Jesus christ, do not listen to this advice. Some Ballast's have some large capacitors in them that could still be charged even if the ballast isn't working. Ballasts operate at high voltage and you don't want to get shocked. If you got more than 3 years out of a cheap unbranded ballast, throw it...
uh oh! Today I got a notice in the mail saying I need to go sign for my package at the post office. Ive never had this before, and ive ordered twice before. Mine was being processed through NJ. Im not sure if Im going to go down there or not... im going to call and see what they say
edit: I had...
If space is of an issue to you, or you want to keep the plants small, Id recommend looking into autoflowers. I pulled 2.5 O off a single auto in 3 gallons of water DWC, with 300 watts hps. I did that with a SCROG in less than 30" of height.
I only grow autos. I believe the best light timing is 20/4, but 18/6 works fine too. I dont give nutes for the first 3 weeks (hydro), as is recommended by the seed company. pull up the seed you bought on the 'tude and see what the description says.
I had the same problem, except I cannot move my plant or lift my lid at all when i have to do rez changes. I ended up buying a power drill operated pump that I use to suck the water out of my rez from the top. Then i slowly refill my rez a gallon at a time with a long neck funnel.
Heres the...
this is hillarious, i was googling like hell to find some info on that setup and i gave up.. then i just stumbled upon this.
well i ordered the 600 watt version of what the OP posted, and since ive got amazon prime it was 2 day free shipping. 200 bucks total.
It came un broken, and pretty...
You will definitely save money in the long run if you set it up first. But hey, its all a learning experience. I pretty much trialed and errored my environment for a while in the beginning and learned what each problem did to the plant and how to fix it etc...its fun an addicting. Sorry to hear...
by the way im currently designing my next cab, and its about the same size as yours. Im using a similar two chamber setup, but I have
another area for veg elswhere. I use the top section as a soundproof room to house the fan and air pumps and what not as well as a sweet systems controller im...
I grow DWC in a much smaller total area (3x3x3). I have been doing it for a while and believe
I have designed a nice micro setup. The first thing I notice is your flowering light and your expectations.
my best attempt so far has been 2 oz per plant, two plants total. However, I used 300 watts of...
I broke a stem about 90% off, and it came back to be my biggest bud. I think a lot of people have similar experiences to me.
I didnt try and mend it at all, however I didnt train that branch and let it be.
