This is a REALLY old thread. I'm surprised that no one ever noticed what the real problem was. It's in plain sight right in my list of specs in the first message I posted. I wrote: Nutes, Flora Micro. That's all I was using, Flora Micro, without the Bloom or Gro. So of course my plants...

I really like this idea too topher. The only problem may be that a 20 gallon aquarium pump won't push enough air to make it out all of the holes. But, I'd say use a bigger one. I might just try building something similar to your idea just for gets and shiggles (shits and giggles)...

I like it! :-) Though I'd still use tubing instead of the airstone. But hey, that's just me. I know that this round air stone will work just as well (but will eventually plug and need to be cleaned or replaced). I don't see why there needs to be any argument over it. Too each there own. I...

I don't think you will be disappointed my friend!! yes, airstones plug up. And though they are not expensive, I don't like having to deal with them. This works just as well, I don't care what the bubbleheads have to say about it. I've proved I can grow just as killer plants, if not more so...

another link for myself: my 5 gallon DWC reservoir built in 15 minutes for less than $15. http://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/281365-5-gallon-dwc-built-15-a.html

Yes, at tripod like angles. The reason I chose 3 is because if you put too many holes in to the tubing, the pump will not push enough air to get out. I experiment with 6, then 5, then 4, and decided on 3. You get good air flow, and plenty of oxygen to the roots. Also, if the roots lay on the...

My pH goes down also. But once I add water back in to the res, it goes right back to where I like it (about 5.5). I notice it drop to about 5.3 each day. My plants are also in flower, and are drinking about a gallon of water a night. I assumed that as they use up the available nutrients the...

are you sure you're getting a good amount of oxygen to the roots? Also, do you keep the oxygen on when the lights go out? It should stay on 24/7. I only ask this because I don't really see any bubble action in either picture. Did you make any changes? What's your pH level at now? I hope...

Thanks my brutha!! Glad you dig what I'm doing!!! heheh. Not that you don't know what you're doing!!! I've seen the pics of your grows!! Some damn fine looking weed you grow, my man!!! heheh. -S

Yeah, I have one fan that blows across the bottom of the plants. I think you're right. A taller fan to blow across the tops of them would be a good thing. On my way to the store to get one. :-) Thanks, glad you like what you see. They are all 400W HPS. The picture shows 4 of them, but I...

it all sounds good except the molasses portion.. I don't think molasses does well in hydroponic systems...

I think the problem actually stemmed from the lights being too close. The ops of the colas that were affected were slightly burned, when I had the lights about 5 inches from the tops of my plants (400W lights, but too close I believe). There was of course a couple colas on each plant that grew...

Hello, So i'm noticing an odd issue that I haven't seen before. on all of my plants I have 2 or 3 colas that are closer to the lights than any other. The leaves growing at the tip of the cola (closest to the light) have sort of rounded ends instead of coming to a sharp point. You can see...

I'm sorry that you took the time to type that all out, fatman. I just went out surfed it up and read about it cause I do use the lucas formula (your previous post prompted this, especially after I did the conversion to teaspoons). After reading the back of my nute bottles I figured I needed to...

so I believe that works out to 10 teaspoons for 10 gallons of water... That seems like an awful lot. I could be wrong. I've only been using a healthy pinch... It seems like I could use more, but I just wasn't sure...

Well, here's tonight's pictures... Hope you like what you see!!! :-) I know I do!! One of the pics shows a clone I have growing in the veg room. She just looks so pretty I have to take a picture. She's over 14 inches tall in less than 2 weeks. I get about 2 to 3 inches of growth both...

i can get so much growth in 5 weeks that I don't see any need to go longer. I'm pretty sure that I'll get no less than 6 oz's a plant after a 5 week veg... Closer to 8 oz's is my hope. We'll see. I'm going to try and figure out what it takes to get 8oz's a plant and do that from now on...

if you're wondering it's my link on how to build a DWC reservoir and grow like a bad ass!!! :-) heheheh.

I'm pasting in this link for my self. I keep having to go find it for other growers, and it get tiring. so I'll have it here now. http://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/272015-how-build-easy-dwc-reservoir.html#post3398917

ok, as you read earlier I had a problem getting my newsest 400W HPS light running. I bought one off of craigslist. It was an xtrasun brand ballast. What I didn't realize at the time of buying is that xtrasun has a proprietary plug. It's not the normal plug we see. It's 3 pronged, but just...
