    First bubble bucket, pH issues

    Your not running an organic nutrient line like Fox Farm three part are you? I ran ff 3 part line and had to switch solely because my ph was going nuts!!!! Guy at the hydro store told me that the bloom was organic and hydro systems and organic nutes dont mix. You should never use tap water when...

    new to hydroponics help please?

    Your best bet for your light is to probably due a flood and drain but they can be costly to run and set up. If i where in your situation and couldnt get a bigger light i would go with a custome DWC/NFT system. Buy a 30 gallon tub with a lid from any hardware or home good store, make sure its...

Apparently doing a combo of DWC and NFT was a good idea because i have about 5 diff people ask me how to make it. I want a setup like your where i can keep...

    Ive never heard of anyone use or even mention a hortilux ballast. I know there bulbs are some of the best around so it would make sense that they have high quality ballasts but im curious why ive never seen them used or even hear them talked about. I have heard alot about the new solis tek...

    I just feel that any amount of CFL, flourescents, or grow bulbs will produce subpar results as far a yeild then a HID. Im sure if you did a side by side test even with more amount of cfl, fluorescent etc the yeild of a HID will be significantly more?

    Ive been looking into LED lighting for a little while now, still a little unsure becasue it seems that finding the right spectrum might be a little much for me. I like being able to buy a HID light and just turn it on, but if LED work as good as people saying they are and dont have that high...

    Not so much from switching from the drip rings to the pvc drip system but running it 24/7 as opposed to once every X amount of hours. I was scared i was gonna drown my plants as first so i only ran the drip system for 10 min every few hours. After reading some more i took a chance and ran it...

    What i did was setup the pvc drip system like i was ready to use it. I then marked exactly where the pipe was in the middle of the pot and you drill a small hole in the middle and to the left and right of the middle hole. Mine all work perfect and i run it 24/7. The water dripping down also...

    bypassing my electric

    I would think the fact that your running a few 600 watt lights means you have some experiance under your belt, but anyone thats grown a single plant outdoors knows you dont steal power when your growing. Im amazed someone with a multi lamp grow would even ask a question like that on a public...

    Best 600 watt light on the market? Lets Have it Fellas!!!

    Better light penetration. I leave all the leafs surrounding the buds and its been working for me for years now. I have all the fans. jars, etc so im only looking at about 5-600 for bulbs, ballast, and hood. Hopefully a top of the line light system will increase the yeilds.

    Thanks for all the info diesel, the guy at the hydro store said exactly what you said. Makes the plant absorb the nutrients alot easier. He refferred to bio heaven as the end all be all of additives beyond the basic two or three part fertilizer. A bottle of bio heaven at the store runs $120...
