Also agree with thesnake on going with 2700k, with the short veg screw the daylight 6500....

Might as well do the 42w GE 4 pack for like 30 bucks 2700 lumens each. That is if they fit... May be a wye splitter will fit in those lamps?

Just putting a closer up today. The tap water in the one pod did help keep things a little more stable than just the R/O water. Both pods this last week finally settled out and hold their ph nicely. I have come to the conclusion that the clay pebbles were the culprit. The reason I came to this...

Trying out a half gallon of tap water in this mix([email protected] ppm@245 out of faucet) things looking good so far. It did take about 30% more ph down than usual to balance the tap, R/O water out at ph of 5.4. For the control pod I decided to keep same water in it, and will continue to balance the ph...

I did stumble upon this today... https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/611057-p-h-problems-heres-good.html It somewhat fits with what I have going on since levels have slowly been peaking out lower and lower. Hydroton just finally being neutralized?

As far as the nitrate vs ammoniac. I don't understand why this is an issue why do they set their hydroponic nutes the way they do if it could cause problems? Other wise my only option for the ammoniac nitrogen is Fox farm's Grow fert, it is only one I have that has higher levels of ammoniac...

I decided to let things run it's course over the last two days to see what happens..I did turn on my lower fan bringing rez temps down to 72 degrees at peak. Yesterday at noon numbers. Left pod (control) pH @6.3 PPM @680 Right pod (active) pH @5.3 PPM @480 note:huge drop in ph...

I currently have pumps for drip running 24/7 should I put it on a half hour every hour schedule? In 24hr just under a quart has evaporated from both and levels are at. Big change over night this might be the info we're looking for. Left pod (control) pH @6.5 PPM @680 Right pod (active)...

So in theory with the control pod (no active growth just evaporation), shouldn't it at one point reach a threshold and finally maintain the pH I want it at?

Left pod (control) pH @5.8 PPM @675 Right pod (active) pH @5.8 PPM @455 Things seem to be finally settling out, but it has held for a few then jumped again before so we'll see......

Should I bring it back down to 5.5? Or see when it peaks out?

Left pod (control) pH @5.8 PPM @695 Right pod (active) pH @5.9 PPM @432

Left pod (control) pH @5.6 PPM @689 Right pod (active) pH @5.7 PPM @425 That's a good rule of thumb to remember on the double per ph!

They changed how to put pics in an album hmmmmm. Ill work on that for when I update numbers.

Here's the numbers to start this morning. Both pods down 3quarts Left pod (control) pH @ 6.8 PPM @400 (assuming from water evap) Added water, Upped the nute concentration to 665 buffers in nute only brought pH down to 6.4 2ml of pH down to stabilize at 5.4 PPM @670 Right pod (active) pH...

Nice I see what your saying on the swing, start low 5.5 your getting the Manganese you need then swing up to around 6 when your getting your Potassium and Magnesium while getting everything in between in the process. Now if I can just get it to stay in the range. I did another shot of ph down I...

The ppm has been stable around 350 +10-. I also made a note to myself that the rez water temp to start is at room temp 68 then after being in action peaks out at 74 max which I assume would raise it a little, but it can't be that much can it?

Just for the record, at the moment it doesn't seem to be affecting the plants in a negative way other than a little growth stunt possibly. No signs of distress as of yet but I can't be swinging ph this much so often! Considering going back to old faithful(soil), but really want to get these pods...

Here's the deal I just decided to try out my General Hydroponics Drip Pods and everything is out of whack! Here's the situation. Plants just moved from nursery into the pods/ I'm using pure R/O water starting at PH@absolute 7 and PPM@2 Adding in 1/4 recommended General Hydroponics nutrients...
