Well, this is my second attempt at indoor growing, here's a little info about the method/equipment I'm using:

Going with NFT Hydroponics, the setup is:

4 x 2 meter drains: 8 plants per drain (32 plants):



60 liter reservoir.

2 x 600W HPS grow lamps for starters (may upgrade to 3 x 600W soonish)

Grow Area:

2 meters (L) x 2 meters (W) x 2 meters (height):

Speed 1: 420 m3/h
Speed 2:800 m3/h

Nutrients:
BudZilla, GrowZilla


So far, 4 girls have died, will be replaced soonish, rest are fine. At the moment lighting cycle is 24hrs, with 250mil of GrowZilla in the tank for now. Once girls have grown a few more inches or more, ill start a mix of GrowZilla + BudZilla.

water PH of about 6.7~ish

Girls have been in since 9th (clones, still rooting atm).

Will update with pictures very very soon.

Just finished rotating the reservoir.

What a hell of a mission! 60 liters replaced. After dumping the water, I had scrubed out the tank (lots of crap at the bottom, maybe dissolved clay balls I'm thinking). Topped back up to around 60 liters, added some PH down to get levels to around 6.5-8~ish, after conditioning the water I added around 240mil's of GrowZilla (instructions on the back specify 5ml's per liter).

Some of the girls are taking off, some aren't, one of them is stretching out a wee bit, some of them look like they might just curl up and die, ah well.

Leaves on pretty much all of them look really narrow, some yellowing on the edges of most, better brush up on what could be the cause(s?).

Might be time to raise the lamps soon I'm thinking. Been one week since the girls have been in, I can only expect casualty's, and probably more to come, soldier on!
