    First Grow - Looking for suggestions and advice

    Haha Thanks Banks Dank. The 3 suspected females turned out to be real females (pics below). I hope like hell none go hermie or I'm gonna die of a broken heart. My next grow will definitely start from either clones or quality seeds. Plant #1 Plant #2 Plant #3 They are a little farther...

    First Grow - Looking for suggestions and advice

    ***UPDATE*** I did a water change last night with RO water. I was amazed to find that the PPM of the RO water was 0. I began the "Transition to Bloom" nutrient regimen starting at 75% of recommended dosage as the light cycle has been switched to 12/12. The plants are now under a 250w HPS until...

    ***UPDATE*** This is week 3 day 4 and my tallest are 7-7.5 in. After 3 days the plants started showing what appeared to me to be a nutrient deficiency of some sort as well as the beginnings of nutrient burn. The tips started to look brown and slightly burned and some of the newer leaves on...

    ***Update*** This is the beginning of week 3. I changed the reservoirs last night but I had to use Brita-Filtered water again because my RO system isn't delivering until Monday now. I set the pH to 5.9 and ppm to 800 in all three reservoirs: 2 tsp/g Grow 1.5 tsp/g Micro 0.75 tsp/g Bloom This...

    First Grow!

    It stays between 75-80 with super low humidity. I'm talking humidity rarely gets above 35%. I keep the closet doors and the window in the room open as often as possible. When I'm not at home, the window is closed but the closet doors stay open. When the closet doors ARE closed, it can get up to...

    First Grow!

    That's a really nice setup. What size water pumps (gph?) are you using and do they add heat to the reservoirs? As posted in my other thread, my setups are the same as far as functionality but my water pumps generate heat in the water. If yours do not and they are smaller than mine, I may need...

    That does make sense but my reservoirs are contained to each little system and they can only be filled with 4 gallons or the water line will go over the sprinklers. This system be so much easier to use if I could get my hands on a cooling mechanism to put in the reservoirs. The aero systems nor...

    Whats going on fim. Thanks for the compliment. I did freeze a couple of 2 liter bottles but one would only last in a res no more than 10 minutes before being completely melted. It just seemed as if I would need a freezer full of frozen 2 liter bottles for it to be effective. If I start to see...

    First Grow - Looking for suggestions and advice

    Day 20) Here is an update. The plants are looking good so far although I did have to clip off a few dead or severely dying leaves from a previous nutrient deficiency and/or burn. Another thing that is happening is the leaves are drooping 2-3 hours before lights out (18/6 schedule) but in the...

    First Grow - Looking for suggestions and advice

    Thanks Shine. I am thinking that 1 or 2 in the bucket will be male but if all 3 are female I will not be disappointed lol. I am positively hoping that I get 6 to 8 females for a pretty decent yield on my first rodeo. I will most definitely post updated pics along the way. I should be going to...

    Sweet setup! I am fellow beginner myself. Quick question. Does the clear hose going into the side of each bucket feed directly to the pvc pipe and spray nozzles or is there an additional pump in the bottom of the buckets?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhRtLcCi4I0 Here is a link for a great setup that I will hopefully be doing in the future in my 3.5' x 2.5' x 5.5' closet growroom. The video is not an instructional on how to build the system but the gentleman narrating the video shows you every aspect of the...

    First Grow - Looking for suggestions and advice

    Time for an update if anyone is still following. All 11 seedlings are planted in their respective systems under a 400w MH. I added nutrients at the "Mild Vegetative" level posted on the bottles, which equates to 1 tsp/gallon of The Flora 3 Series Grow, Micro, and Bloom. The plants are not...

    My Reservoir is in the 80s. Please help!!

    Getting a grow tent is a new dream of mine lol. I conquered one by beginning to grow. I have watched YouTube videos and manufacturers' videos and the tents definitely look self-sufficient as as compact as you need them. Did you buy your tent prefabbed or did you make it yourself?

    My Reservoir is in the 80s. Please help!!

    Ok I went to my local hydro shop and showed the guy the manual for my aeroponic garden setup along with the specs for the water pumps. He believes the pump is of a heavy duty variety, which is causing it to generate heat in the water. He suggested putting a 2 liter soda bottle of frozen water...

    My Reservoir is in the 80s. Please help!!

    Thanks for the info from everyone. It is greatly appreciated. Dogenzengi, I am growing in the side of a closet in my bedroom. Its 3.5' x 2.5' x 5.5'. The light is hanging just under the shelf in the closet. Its a pretty confined space and I have it removed from the rest of the closet by thick...

    My Reservoir is in the 80s. Please help!!

    H2O2 does turn to water real quickly from what I read. So as you suggested, I will pick up a bottle of Dutch Master Zone and a roll of Reflectix today. If I use Dutch Master Zone, what is the highest temp I can maintain without root issues, in your opinion?

    My Reservoir is in the 80s. Please help!!

    Ok I just transplanted last night into my aeroponic systems. I checked the temp in the reservoirs this morning and they are around 83-85. I put H2O2 in the res to begin with and plan on doing it every other day. Should I have anything to worry about with my res temps as high as they are, even...
