That is a KOOL tip Stink! Thanks
what kinds of bud are they?Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet.
I'll take you through my process from start to harvest.
What is different about my system vs. others?
1) 3 separate Aero/NFT flower systems allow me to run a 9 week flower cycle. This allows the buds to fully ripen and also allows me to run strains with more Sativa in them.
2) I use 100% organic nutrients for the sweetest tasting bud you can ever imagine.
3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.
4) My system is all Aeroponic/Hydroponic or Aero/NFT. Each system uses the same sprayers and pumps. No medium is used. Basically the plants grow in air.
5) I have a 100% success rate with my cloner. By far the easiest way to take cuttings.
6) I always leach and then flush for at least 2 weeks for buds that burn and taste clean.
7) I run a three part cycle. The plants stay 3 weeks in the cloner, then 3 weeks in the veg system and then the move to flower for the last 9 weeks.
Anyone can do this! If you can read a number you will have the same success as I do. Everything is measured and it is as easy as baking a cake.
If you follow my instructions you too can harvest a pound every 3 weeks.
So here we go...
Your water should be fine, Bro - just PH it - 246 is within spec (a little hi PPM - but that will be fine). Just compensate for that 246PPM start when you adjust your nutes during veg and flower (so a target PPM of 1400 would actually be 1646 PPM for you). You can also skip the CalMag as your 200+ PPM water usually has sufficient amounts of calcium and magnesium.As I mentioned before, I have the cloner up and running and the veg unit standing by. The problem is, I thought I could get my PH/TDS metering equipment locally. Boy was I wrong. The nearest place I could get anything worth using was close to 100 miles away. So I had to order online. When I finally tested my tap water, it had a PH of 8.1 and 246 ppm. The cuttings I have going are not doing all that well and I guess now I know why. At least I can get PH adjusting chemicals in the little town nearest to me where I work. My real question is, since the cuttings have been in this crap water for about 10 days, will they recover or should I expect to just start from scratch with fresh cuttings? Sorry about the long post and thanks for any help you guys can give me.
I bought one of those $49 one minute on four minutes off timers. The temp stays between 77-80 in the closet most of the time. I got the PH adjusting stuff on the way to work today and I am about to go try and get the levels right. I think eventually I will get some sort of water filter system, but if 246 is OK, I have other things to spend the money on right now. Thanks for the help, I am going to need all I can get.Your water should be fine, Bro - just PH it - 246 is within spec (a little hi PPM - but that will be fine).

No need to restart - just PH the water - you will likely have roots in another few days... you are cycle timing the pump right? If not, and you are running the pumps full time, the higher temps created can also cause rooting problems.... get a cycle timer if you are not using one.
Of course 0 PPM water is best - and anything over 200 is good enough reason to invest in RO - but you will be fine in the meantime for sure!I bought one of those $49 one minute on four minutes off timers.
