it still amazes me how much water these...
basically when the soil gets dry it becomes hard and forms a layer of "crust" around each little soil piece.. when you water when the soil is completely dry some water will just run straight through basically, while some gets absorbed.. again, think like a shamey cloth that you moisten before it...
i water 4x daily for just a 15 minute interval...
it works well actually... its really dusty and shit when you first use it.. expect to inhale some.. www.suretogrow.com/hydroponic-supply-deluge im sorry if the link didnt copy.. my mouse is broke so i am having to type everything out... if...

IT IS A MYTH THAT ROOTS ONLY GROW IN THE DARK... IF YOU HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE TRYING TO...
like i said, i was skeptical too... 500 is a lot to drop on a floro system... or any system for that matter.. especially when you dont know the results.. but i was ever to grow on a smaller scale where i was to use 400w lamps i would without question trade HID for these floros anyday... and if...
oh ya.. very well!!
all my sites end up completely full of roots, plus some hanging out the bottom of the drain bucket...
when i pull my roots out of the bucket, the hydroton and roots stay formed exactly like the bucket... i have to break them up if i want to try to save the hydroton.. i...
its definitely a lot of light for a small space... i think in the future ill keep the lights up a little higher.. i am anxious to see what happens when i turn them up to 1000 or the super setting...
you can use HPS lighting the entire way through if you want.. but if you want to you can use a metal halide for veg and hps for flower...

sunleaves satellite IV floros.... worms way used to carry them.. but stopped.. im sure its because people couldnt understand paying that much for floros.. i was VERY skeptical myself.. until i used them.. and now i have a secret crush on them... lol
i have had a few spills myself.. a chiller line dropped out of the res... the return line from the timer bucket to the res came off... i think i have had 3 large "floods" like that.. but i have my things locked down to avoid that now...

i cant show you a pic of a hermie as i dont have one..

max running temp on them is 90 degrees F...
it was bc bud depot blueberry... it grew cool.. but it was dissapointing in the end... not a very potent plant.. good flavor and smoke.. but i need more of a kick in the ass than it provided...
i love these floros.. if they werent so fucking expensive... i wish they would come down from the 500 dollar price tag... there is rumor of an 8 bulb configuration they are working on also.. that would be sick...
good to hear your flowering is coming along as well... cant wait until harvest time!
