I think you said you have an HPS on the way. That should be an improvement. She seems a little hungry or N deficient. But, not sure if inadequate light might be the problem. I think you said you didn't have your CFLs in reflectors. That's a big loss of light (for an already challenged source of...

I like the one auto I've grown (multiple times) better than 12/12 from seed I did twice. The latter are lanky/stretchy/juvenile appearing. The auto was more like a bonzai version (form, mature appearance). I got 180-220g from a plant grown in a 2x2x4' tall space. I couldn't get that from a 12/12...

Why don't you want to veg the photosensitives for awhile? It sounds like you have height for them. (Why either auto or 12/12?).

It's not that bad. Just pop the plastic cap off. Power them through a GFCI outlet, like protects you in the bathroom. You can cut the top off the plastic cap (instead of popping the whole thing off). That would make it harder to contact the surface (which the GFCI protects against ultimately)...

It looks good to me in the photo above. But, the plants look overwatered. The soil should be pretty dry before watering. The container should feel light to lift. It looks like enough perlite, so I'd think it should dry in 3-4 days at this stay. Dig your little finger in 1/2 to 1". If the cup...

It depends upon the intensity, the focus of the light. For example, I have LEDs with 5w diodes mounted in reflectors (and, maybe secondary lenses). I have to keep them higher. I have a UFO with 3w diodes mounted on a white backboard (diffuse light) and it can be 2" in from a leaf. This light...

Do you ever water the entire soil? It looks like you're watering just around the stem? That could be a problem if there are large dry areas the roots are growing in. For the benefit of others, you said in a previous thread that you're using ph 5.5 in soil because this strain needs it. That...

It's not a problem for me. If the feature was never intended to be relied upon or supported, I understand. RIU is a good community and the relatively light moderation is nice. It just seems too bad there aren't more features like this (for static, topical, non-conversation, structure content...

I would like to revisit @TedeBoy 's topic. I document some things in my "blog" area which I would like to link to. But, RIU requires registration and login to view a blog. I don't know how to say this without sounding disharmonious, but... grasscity respects the "All visitors." And, so, I'm...

There is a conversion chart here. That's an interesting question: what are the ppms published by GH? There are different TDS "scales" for meters. But, when you calculate ppms from the weight of chemical compounds.... what does that relate to? I think it's 0.5 scale. For example, 1g of table...

If that leaf was too close to the light it could cause that (what looks like a localized Mg deficiency). I had that problem a few days ago. You can see it in the top-down photos on subsequent days (after the leaves matured). It could be damage. The way it's close to the rim of the container...

What do the trichomes look like? (see growweedeasy for example photos, a guide to "when to harvest.").

What soil did you use? I would have used much more perlite. Might be overwatered. Soil's ph rises as it dries. If you don't let it dry longer, that can hold the ph lower (limiting access to N, for example, which is available at higher ph.). The container should feel very light when it's dry...

It improved as soon as I posted that. It was unstable for about an hour. I'm still curious, given the frequency of outages, at what point do you guys look for a new hosting service? I assume it's the host and not someone making administrative and customizastion to the live server. (I would...

MarsHydro made a "Pro" model which is spec'ed at 47w/sq ft. The non-"Pro" Mars2 is spec'ed at 28w/sq ft. If you guys keep asking for a better better light they'll make a "VIP" model spec'ed at 70w/sq ft (to be replaced by the "Hall of Fame" at 90w/sq ft.). It just goes to show that they're...

I believe you are in a 10 sq ft space (2x5, if I recall reading in another thread.). HPS is probably your best choice for your budget. How tall is the space? The inexpensive epi-whatever lights you're looking at on eBay/Amazon will grow for your personal use. If you're not sensitive to airy...

The "ignore" button might be worth mentioning too.

Rollitup seems to be flaking out again this morning? This seems so regular, I'm curious if anyone is considering a new web host provider?

It depends on your goals, priorities, budget (how you weigh the cost). If you're looking at LED for efficiency, then you'll either need to spend more money for the type of lights (brands) I mentioned (or build your own COB light). Or, use T5HO for shorter spaces, CMH for taller. If efficiency...

Sorry. It's just that this is a common (and triggering, for some) topic. There was just a bunch of heat in the indoor->led forum an hour ago. Those inexpensive eBay/Amazon LED lights either produce air buds at the coverage they claim to have. Or, you have to run 50-70w/sq ft to get results...
