You should not be doing all that shit with the roots. You shouldn't be transplanting soil to hydro either. Also, you don't need to feed them while they're in soil for the first several weeks. You adjust PPM with the help of a TDS(total disolved solids) meter. Bottom line, I suggest you start...

Here's my 400mb XviD rip of the show: http://rapidshare.com/files/171003729/Explorer.Marijuana.Nation.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/171003730/Explorer.Marijuana.Nation.part2.rar

There is no "best", people use different things. I like Rapid Rooters, which I believe are made of peat. Some people prefer rockwool or jiffy cubes. Get what's available to you and make it work.

Low humidity can also cause the tips to dry up, but this really isn't a huge deal. You're in decent shape if your only concern is some dried leaf tips. I know it's not recommended to feed during the dark period, but there's nothing wrong with scheduling one full feeding in that time. I flood...

Let them air dry until they're mostly dry on the outside. You may be able to snap the stems. By then they're ready to be jarred so you can slowly remove all moisture from the center of the buds. Burp the jars a couple of times per day for the next week, then twice per week until you think...

You think I'm not aware of that? This is the best I can do for now. Hopefully I can get a better cam for next harvest.

If you can get it closer, go for it. Just make sure you're taking temperature readings near the level of your canopy. You're fine as long as it doesn't go much over 80 degrees.

I shot a few (shitty)pics of my preliminary harvest. This is only about 2/3 of one plant. I'll be staggering this harvest over the next week or so. I'll definitely try and get a better camera when I can. These Afghan Kush buds are ready to be jarred. I won't take a weight until...

As long as heat isn't an issue, you can get the light closer to your plants.

Every other watering would be fine.

You want to mix it with water first, then feed. If at all possible, check the pH after mixed, just to make sure your nutrient solution isn't too acidic.

One might even say, couch-locked. :lol:

Without question, flowering. Budding plants need more red spectrum light and that's what the HPS does best. That 150W isn't all that much, though. I hope you're not planning on growing more than a couple of plants.

Too many plants in the flowering tent, in my opinion. I have 5 girls in my Homebox L(3.3'x3.3') and my canopy takes up the entire space. I've been thinking about getting a Homebox XL and I figured around 8-9 would be as much as I would grow. I like to grow 3-4 footers, if that tells you...

You shouldn't be giving them plant food yet. Secondly, you're probably overwatering. Don't water until the soil dries out a little. Don't foliar spray either, at least not until they recover. I like to spray no more than once every 3-4 days and near the end of the photo period.

Go with the 600 if cost is no issue, but I suspect your smallish space will get too hot. Have you thought about how you're going to vent heat? Do you have an air-cooled hood? I think you're going to need one. If you're buying online, check out HTGsupply.

10" is pretty big for a clone. I'm sure it can handle more light. You have approx. 243 watts of light. Rule of thumb would be 50 watts per square foot, which for your space is 450 watts. No need for that much for only 2 plants, though. I would still add another 100 watts for flowering though if...

Dang, tough to say when to flower in such a tight space. Maybe give it a few more inches, then switch to 12/12. Hopefully it won't get too close to the light so as to cause burning, but be prepared to tie it down if it does. It should continue to stretch for a good 2 weeks after switching to 12/12.

Glad to have you aboard. All the best to you and your wife.
