Also hopefully you know this but dont let any light get to the nutrient solution for longer than a few minutes. If you have 3% hydrogen peroxide you may want to add a cap or two to every gallon before your next watering to remove any slime that may be hiding in your system.
First off I would not be using bloom nutes during veg. Start using those when you switch to 12/12 or a week or two later.
I use THIS light for veg and it kicks ass without producing a lot of heat. Its a little expensive though.
If I hadn't topped my girls so many times they would probably...
Im glad to be able to help. If you meant your ph goes up everyday this is pretty normal. Plant use acidic compounds and compunds break down causing ph to rise. Some nutrients maintain ph better than others and some ph up and down brands advertise that their product holds ph more steady. Many...
What medium are you using... hydroton, coco, etc? Also do you realize that a flood and drain uses an air pump w/ airstone to pump air into the nutrient solution while it sits in the reservoir?
Be careful how you read the packaging on CFL lights. You are probably only pushing 184 watts instead of the 800 you are thinking. If you look HERE you will notice that it says this bulb is 100 watts but really it only uses 23 watts. They say 100 watts because its lumens (visible light output)...
On another note I notice that the top of my black 5 gallon buckets are warm from my light. I have some aluminum tape but Im not sure if aluminum would help or make it worse. What do you guys do to help insulate your buckets or containers from the heat?
The roots will be fine as long as you don't let them dry out. Mainly you need to be gentle with the roots because if you tear any you stress the plant and it makes the plant more susceptible to problems. When you get the netpots fill one with hydroton and then rinse it thoroughly until the water...
Hey I have 4 bubble buckets that I want to connect together. Its a pain always checking each one especially with only one strain going. I want to know what is the best way to connect these. I was thinking I would use these:

Any input on the size of these? They were germinated on the 8th and broke ground on the 11th last month. They're in 6 in Net pots. I almost fried em but they've looked healthy since they recovered. They're bushy as hell but they seam smaller than what I expected for 3 weeks. Any educated...
Well its almost a week since these ladies OD'ed on nutes... okay fine I did it to em.
Anyways they look pretty good. As you can see I topped them a few days ago so they lost some height and are growing new shoots. I also cut off the really bad leaves.
Is it just me or are these extremely...
Thanks for the help I removed half the nuted up water and replaced with fresh water shortly after posting this. 3 are recovering well and have doubled in size. The girl in the third pic is hangin in there but she got burned pretty bad. Once I see enough new growth I may remove the crispy leaves...
Thanks punk I wasn't sure if it was a deficiency from nute lock out due to wrong ph or high salts or if its nute burn. I've never seen nute burn this bad but I don't have a lot of experience and you're probably right. I'm mostly worried about the seedling in the third picture. She has these dark...
Just moved four 2 week old Super Lemon Haze seedlings from vermiculite to bubble buckets. One is fine but the other three developed some serious brown spots over the last few days and the leaves are getting crispy.
I'm using AN Sensi Grow AB at 800 ppm. I didn't mean to go this high but I...
