Maybe you're right, I'm just a newbie, but to me it seems like overkill with all of that light for tiny seedlings. My last couple of seedlings were under 36W flos and didn't stretch after they reached ~4". Something did fry his plants however, so if not light, perhaps too rich a soil.

Who cares what the nutrient companies think. They make plenty of money on growers and realistically no matter what it will always be a small number of growers who end making their own. The difference between a tomato grower and commercial MJ grower is that MJ farmer's crop is worth much much...

My take on it is that you killed them with too much light, plain and simple. You had 115 Watts just 1-2 inches from a handful of tiny seedlings, which was not needed at all. I grew some seedlngs into dense and super healthy little 4 node bushes under 2*18W 2ft flos which shows that small plants...

From on top of my head: 1. Build a fan box with foam, rockwool and plaster 2. Build a muffler like this one: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=42646 3. Reduce bends and turns in the ducting as this increases noise, lowers air flow and therefore creates need for higher fan speed...

Or you could run it with dams in the end as a flooded recirculating DWC....

Why don't you just calculate it yourself, it's quite straight forward. ml nutrients per liter water times the size of your res times the number of res dumps you plan to do. Sorry if I come across as arrogant, didn't mean to, but it's pretty straight forward as you can see.

I too have a few questions for Heath in case he comes by some day and feels like spending a couple of minutes: 1.Do you use any additives besides your basic hydro nutes as in flower, trich and root boosters, anti gibberelins for stretch control (e.g. bushmaster, phosphoload) and if so can you...

Ok for all of you who don't feel like reading the entire thread, I have summerized most of the important points from Heath below. Most of the questions asked have been answered earlier, so check this out if you need info. ·It holds 86 plants, ·I have grown a lot of KC brains stock and my...

Mods, please delete this thread as I double posted. Sorry

Part II: Ten questions for professor Robinson: 1.You’ve stated that you had good experiences with Canna, Vitalink and XXX. Do you have a favourite amongst those three makes and are there any relevant information you could add to each brand e.g. additional epson salt/calmag for Canna etc...

I’ve read, reread and then read some more on Heath Robinsons superb grows – the flooded vert in particular. The thread is over 70 pages long and a lot of people keep asking questions that have been answered in the thread. I copy pasted all the relevant answers and comments from Heath...

Looks a little better, but still way yellow. You can try some different white balance settings and see if one gives you less of that yellow hue. If you have a dslr, you can put a piece of white paper under you lights and tell the camera 'this is white' and it will automatically set white balance...

Looks good mate, keep it up! Btw. you can see the color of light from HPS is much warmer, screwing up the pictures. You can change the white balance setting on your digicam to 'incandescent' which should give you nice and neutral colors again. VF

Thanks Devastation, I'm going to be growing Critical Mass and Chronic, so will ask in the strains forum about preflowers. CM varies a lot in phenos, so would hesitate to discard stretchy plants as being males considering the price of these seeds. VertFarmer
