Hi everyone, here's a nightly update! Not much to report today. Here are my levels: pH: 5.9 PPM: 620 I was planning on flushing my nute solution today, but before I brewed up new nutes I checked the reservoir pH to find that it was still below 6 (my expectation was around 6.5). No need...

Hey electro, here's a link to and some quotes from an article I read recently on feminized seeds that appeared on cannabisculture.com. The article itself takes a bit of an anti-feminized-seeds stance, but it includes an interesting explanation of the trial-and-error history of production of some...

Hey guys, good to see you back! No problem. I think I may have to shorten my flush cycle to 2 days, but really it has to do with the rate my PPM rises. When I first mix up my nute solution, it is at roughly 400PPM. It rises slightly every time I adjust my pH (which I have to do roughly every...

Well, I'm afraid that a proper sized reservoir was the single hardest thing for me to find so I'm not sure I'll be much help, but I can try! My res capacity is probably about 1 gallon, but I'm filling it to 2 litres to keep the liquid level just below my net pot. This requires keeping a very...

Heya Plex, Just thought I'd stop by and say hi! Nice work so far, keep it up.

Heya ladies and gents, Here we are with another nightly update. I'm doing my first nute flush tonight, so I got to test out my siphoning system. It is a very simple solution using the "That's What She Said" method (AKA suck to get it started) and works quite well! Takes roughly five minutes to...

Heya Plex and J! Thanks for stopping in :). I'll be throwing down some updates in a bit. Currently I have some RO water coming to room temperature for my new nute solution.

Great! I'll be on the lookout. I know you've already seen my GJ but in the interest of redundancy, I'm 3 days into my grow including germination. Currently, her first true leaves are about the size of the cotyledons.

Hey all. Quick nightly update here. pH: 5.9 PPM: 500 Things are looking good so far. I'll be doing my first nute flush tomorrow night. Any thoughts on going for 1/2 strength veg nutes? Or would I be better off sticking with seedling nutes for a few more days? I would like to start veg nutes at...

Hey man, that sounds pretty good. Keep in mind Lowryder, Lowryder #2 and Easy Ryder are all autoflowering strains. This means you won't be able to control how long the vegetative stage lasts and your ScrOG screen might not be completely full when they start flowering on their own in 3-4 weeks...

Hey everyone! Here is a picture of my new seedling. As you can see, the cotyledons are completely unfurled and the first set of true leaves is starting to develop. I couldn't be more excited! It seems to me like the germination/sprouting process went really quickly. I had her germed/planted...

She popped up! Pictures to come in a bit. I topped off my reservoir with RO water and re-adjusted the PH last night according to plan. It seemed to work fairly well. My PH and PPM meters just came in the mail, so tonight will be even easier! Temperature has been stable around 80F all...

Thanks! I plan on checking it about once a day. My digital meters should be getting here tomorrow! I have a plan for dealing with PH and water supply: I'll be changing my nutrient solution every 3 days, but in between the swaps I'll top off the solution with fresh RO water to a level marked on...

My sprout has been in rockwool in my case for just about 7 hours now. I've checked it a couple times and re-moistened the rockwool cube with a few mL of solution twice already, so I decided to re-set my rockwool in the net cup a bit lower so the bottom has more access to the wetter hydroton and...

Ooh, good thinking! Not sure why that didn't cross my mind -- thanks :).

No more tests and modifications folks, this show is on the road. My rockwool had been soaking for 24 hours, so I figured it was as good a time as any to plant my little sprout. I checked on her and saw that the tap root had at least doubled in length in the last few hours, and was now...

Hi all, I am doing a DWC PC grow of Easy Ryder with CFLs in a DIY case (journal link in sig). I have a total of four fans. Two intake, and two exhaust. There is a 120mm and an 80mm of each. The 120mm fans have green LEDs, and only one is exposed to the inside of the case so I'm not worried...

Hmm, you think? I was going to wait until it was like 1/8"-1/4". By tiny I meant tiny... like barely sticking out. Probably 1/16" or less.

Hmm, you could be right. I didn't think of that. I'll cut the wire -- any daytime benefit of 3W of blue LED is probably not worth the risk either way :P. Thanks for looking out! So I was brainstorming/researching shut-off valves earlier, and it finally just clicked that I could simply run...

Alright fellas. I just put in another 4-5 hours of work on the beast and she's looking mighty good. But! First thing's first. An hour or two into working on the case, I decided to check on the seed. Sure enough, I opened the cabinet door and this is what I saw! Neato, so since she sank...
