Dr. Who I am 17 days in veg and still vegging. I already use Mad Farmer Get Down. I am constantly adjusting EC and pH, I use a BlueLab Guardian and check it many times a day.

The flood is 15 minutes long. It gets to depth and stays there for a few minutes. The plants were rooted using an EZ Cloner and transplanted directly into the hydrocorn, no rockwool. So my sweep of 5.5-6.2 pH is too great? Enough potassium? I don't know. I'm only using Zone, CaliMagic, and...

I know this is an old thread but an answer is never too late. I believe the active ingredient is ethephon which can also be found in Monterey Florel and Optic Foliar Switch. It works by providing the plants with ethylene which is like estrogen for plants. I'm using Monterey Florel as a foliar...

I see, but wouldn't changing out the reservoir weekly solve that issue?

Why do you say that? I've always thought 75 °F was fine for an ebb&flow system since the roots aren't always submerged in a nutrient solution like in a DWC system.

What is your experience level? Third grow. What type of hydro set-up are you running? Ebb and flow buckets. Your Equipment: A) Type and wattage of lights? Two 600w MH. B) Distance from tops? 20 inches. C) Reflector type? Vertical bare bulbs. D) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings...

All of the veg equipment is 600w capable, just need to turn it up. I have a question though. I run a single 22 SEER 24,000 BTU mini split. The mini split, CO2 generator, and carbon scrubber are located in the Veg Room. Each Flower Room then has a pair of 8" Vortex inline fans, intake and...

Just thought I might not need them at full power but I'll try them at 600w see if yields, quality increases.

For veg I'm using SolisTek 600 watt ballasts with Eye Hortilux 600w MH bulbs. Flower is SolisTek 1000w ballasts with Eye Hortilux 1000w Super HPS bulbs.

Okay, my veg ballasts are already 600 so could try turning them up from the 400 setting.

Why? The 400's already give me 5-6 foot plants in the time I'm waiting for the ones in flower to finish budding.

Yes about 5.5 ounces, that's what I said before. But the other plants are much bigger that is why I'm hoping for 8 ounces on the remaining plants.

621 grams wet is the weight of just 1 plant that was drying up and dying, the rest are still budding. I'm hoping I'll see 8 ounces per plant. Here's a picture of the room design:

I completely forgot about this. Good suggestion Dstar.

Thanks Ramirez. I did so much research and forum lurking before jumping in. But even all that research wasn't enough to make up for the lack of experience. I'm positive the 2nd grow will be better.

Some unfiltered air will be sucked out. You could run the A/C's exhaust to the carbon filter.

I've always been a DIY kind of guy, plus it helps that I used to be a commercial construction worker and auto assembly worker. Computers, car audio, and other gadgets and electronics are my hobbies. So after a lot, a lot of reading and research I decided what the hell lets grow something lol. So...

Haha glad you like it. Man I see so much room for improvement, I'm so excited for the next batch currently in veg ready for the flip to flower.

My first grow ever. 12 BlueDream and 12 Querkle. I'll start of with the specs. Clone: 6" clones rooted in 1.5"x1.5" rockwool cubes Veg: 8'x3' area 24x 2.5 gallon ebb & flow buckets with hydrocorn media RO water + 0.5EC MaxiBloom + 0.3EC CaliMagic 70°F reservoir and 72°F at canopy 2x 400w MH...

I've upped the nutrients. It's getting worse, couldn't this be a nitrogen toxicity and not a phosphorus deficiency? Currently at 750ppm MaxiBloom and 200ppm KoolBloom liquid. Total ppm is 1050ppm or 2.0EC.
