    That makes sense. However i am finding a small body of information that has me wondering. Is is better for the.plant to get 12 hours of full spectrum light, for max nutrient consumption, or is it better to catch some of the red light on either side. And i.feel like especially when you...

    Questions: p.h. Of water. Do you flood and flush or just splash a little? It sure looks like potassium def. But this could be due to salt buildup too. Id say, dont panic, flush a little extra p.h. Correct water this week and go.with 1/4 strnght nutes again. They havntbdrank that fire water...

    Silly newbie question here about CFL light set up

    Yes the lumens stack, but those numbers drop exponentially as the light travels.away from the bulb. So keep em close and as they get tall, consider adding some side lighting to keep the lower plant illuminated.

    Wow, everything looks so clean and sterile. Wish i had enough power to run fans like that at night. That would be the shiit. Thanks for sharing. Whay do you think about covering/uncovering when the sun is still up versus trying.to catch the red of either sun rise or sunset?

    Colorado Greenhouse, Light Dep, Winter Indoor Veg Program

    Perplexus here. This is the start of what looks to be a wide ranging and extensive project. I will be using 2 hoop style greenhouses, indoor setups of varying types and doing some small scale breeding and back crossing. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the largest undertaking...

    Yeah bro, if shade in the fall makes it happen faster, that leads me to conclude that some light leaks can be okay. And for some reason i believe this to be related to the type of light available... Not just the time the light is on them. I have a shade cloth ive been using to keep my girls...

    Once you harvest/cut your bud from a plant, can it be used as a mother plant.

    You can rejuvenate a plant. 24 hours of light and a few weeks later, youll see new growth. But it will likely be odd. Round leaves and bushy growth. Eventually shell come back around and you can clone her out, but the stress of reveg coupled with the cloning will reduce your clones vitality by...

    Whats wrong with my plant?! (pics)

    Looks like N def to me also. But dont go dumping a bunch of nutes in just yet. This was mentioned before. It couls be your p.h. Causing micro nute.lockout. I wish you had a close up of one leaf. Are the veins yellow, or is it interveinal. If your bloom mix has low nitrogen, maybe add a...

    sos need some help

    Bro. Its drying up. Mist that deal! get a tent over it. Like a soda bottle with the bottom out. And i dunno what kind of light youve got, but i.would.guess its too much. Again. Humidity up. Light down. And yes. 24 hrs till you have roots. Then go 18. Also, cut the shit.off those lower...

    What's the right size res

    4x4 tray has a 60 gallon capacity. Emptying your 20 gal res would.only fill it one third. So no, i dont think.so. Unless using short pots or slabs. I guess a better question would be what kind of pots/medium? How tall is your tray?

    First Hydroponics System (Seedling worries)

    First reaction: root shock and over watering. let those clay balls do their job. maybe put your pump on a timer. secondary thoughts: water temp. nute strength. root innoculants i think they will be okay. they look strong!
