Thanks, these plants are growing very strong. My buddy is growing the same exact strai right now in dirt and they are also doing well, Not as bushy though.

I accidentally twisted some of the shoots and they definitely were affected. As far as any being creased I didn't have a problem with that, the growth of mine was still pretty fresh so I didn't have any breaks or bad creases. This is probably because I have my screen only ten inches above the...

I figured out all of my lighting issues. Turns out it was the bulb all along. I now have them under a 600 watt HPS Extra Par bulb by GE its called Lucalux and it is horticulture specific, the ballast fired right up.

hey I just came across this thread and was wondering how everything ended up.

Thanks man. It's been in the room for a week now and you can really see the dirt it has prevented from entering the tent. They seem to allow about a perfect amount of flow through as well. Good luck on your build.

They will come right back through the screen as soon as they can. I'm doing my first scrog grow now and have learned a lot in the last month. It seems the trick when pulling the top back through is not to do it to early. You should wait until they have grown tall at 4 or 5 inches above the...

Sorry a couple of these pics are blurry, I will post more soon.

So I e-mailed bettergrow hydro about the ballast issues and I recieved a quick reply from one of their store managers in pasadena. This is what he had to say: I read through your email and unfortunately the problems you are experiencing are common to 600 watt digital ballasts. Here’s a brief...

Thanks for your input, I think I will try to troubleshoot it once I have another ballast just in case I f*ck something beyond repair. I do know how to troubleshoot components with a multimeter, I'd just need to know what the components should be reading, guess the search begins for a schematic...

Hello, I came across this thread when I was trying to find an answer to my problem that no one else seems to have an answer for. I am running a 600 watt galaxy digital ballast. I have been using it the last two months with a mh conversion bulb with no issues. When I switched to flower last week...

I hate talking to myself. Then why do you do it? Not sure.

I am on my first grow and I am using a galaxy 600 watt digital ballast. During 24 hrs of light the MH conversion bulb worked just fine. Now that I have switched to 12/12 my HPS bulb won't seem to light on its own. The only way I have been able to get the HPS bulb to light is by putting the MH...

Hypothetically if it was the strip, couldn't it just be removed from the room and then flush the remaining plant(s)?

So lights are off. Which qallowed me to discover a new problem. My HPS bulb does not like to ignite. It seems I cannot trust it to light with the timer because it doesn't work every time. So now I have to go back there every night and make sure it turns on. If it doesn't it seems I have to put...

Thought I would just share what I did to solve my air flow issues for my room. I was getting dust in my grow tent and didn't have enough air flow going into tent, so I decided I needed an air intake for the tent. I also needed to allow air to get into the room because it was sucking the air out...

Everything is going good, still growing like crazy. Soon it will be time to switch the lights over, probably w/i the week. I can't believe how much these things feed, they went through 15 gallons in just a week! I have a question for other ebb and flow guys: can i just add more water and nutes...

I just checked 'em out and there really isn't anything to show as far as the roots. They are coming through the pots, but haven't began to air prune yet, the growth is still pretty new. The amount of foliage growing is crazy. I have began training the plants the way I want them to grow, but it's...

These little mammas are growing like crazy, amazing really. I didn't realize how much a metal halide light helps with the veg growth. I have seen the same strain grow under hps light for the veg state and the plants are not nearly as bushy, there isn't nearly the amount of foliage, and the...
