Well, I tried the new ballast, exact same thing. I am just going to take the 600W ballast of the GFI and only use it for the electronics on ground and near water.

Setup the timings for the Light and Watering on the Digital timers. All I need to do now is wait to make soup once I have some good clones to throw inside the new room. It was 58 degrees when I turned on the light and flooded the table for a last test.

Is it normal for the drain to take about an hour? I tried to take any pinch in the line, and it still takes a while. Setup the watering 5 times every 2 hours to insure flood and drain is complete by then. I think I am going to setup the Fan to be on the same timer as the Light so the grow medium does not dry out the roots when the lights are off. Good idea?

OK, got my flood and drain down. Flood now takes 2 minutes on 396GPH pump. Drain takes 6 minutes. Much better. Now I just need some freaking plants to test out.......

OK, hopefully I did this right.

Mix the soup. Poured House and Garden A & B(A with half a tank, then B). I used 75ml to 14 gallons. Then mixed in the Rapid Root at 1ml per gallon, and also 35%grade H202 at 1ml per gallon. Then I PH'd the water to 5.5

PPM is at 900. I Figure I should start out low and work my way up to 1400 till the roots develop.

Cross your fingers its thrives.....

Did I do this right?

Hey Spark, thanks for checking in on me! Everything is going very well. Clones are looking great in the flower room. PPM is a bit high from what ppl are telling me, but @ 800 PPM the plants are responded well. I usually update my Belladonna Grow in my signature every friday. So look out for the update. Hows everything with you?
