It's A Fuct World

Hay al.b I sprayed my plants with neem the other day and got a bit of it in the res while they were on the floor. The mothers res went cray throffy and reacted with the ho2o I'm gessing.so I changed it and wat not but it's to late.the mothers are looking like shit.oh and I pulled one out of the pot becuse it died and it was WEll root bound.but dno wat to do with the other mothers that look like poo?? Any ideals I still need clones in two weeks.
Cray throffy, huh? Damn. I have no idea WHAT the fuck that means, but it certainly doesn't sound good.

What were you spraying the plants with neem oil for?

My best advice it to prune back the mother plants to undamaged growth and veg them until they recover. It'll probably take at least 2 weeks, provided their root systems are not damaged.

Thanks Al,
Would that be called a double pole thermostat?
It could be, yes.

What are you using for your intake fans?
A pair of 150mm axial blowers running in parallel. Their capacity is slightly less than that of my 250mm centrifugal exhaust blower. This keeps the grow room at a slightly negative pressure so that all air leaving the room goes through the carbon filter.

Do you run two thermo switches, Or does both your intake and exaust fans run on constant Motor speed controller when temps are down?
I use a single thermostat to run both intake & exhaust blowers. I don't use a speed controller for constant ventilation because it's not needed in my case. In my specific case, it would make the room run too cool. Your mileage may vary.

hey al. just want to verify something and make sure im understanding this correctly before i try it. you take your clones that youve been feeding plain water and (when ready) place them in youre flowering tray and feed them straight 1000ppm @ 5.8PH sauce for there first feeding?
Yep.

i plan on going with canna veg and flower like you have going on. what you think?
It'll work fine. Canna has been very good for consistent results for me over the last decade.

That's similar to what I use. The version marketed in Australia does not use the word 'Aqua' in the labelling.

Sorry al.b It was meant to be "crazy frothey" just didn't know how to spell it.yea I'm not sure about the roots becuse there in there pots and don't like pulling them out becuse the perlight and rock wool might go every were.I have spider mite just waiting to get some cash to get some peditor mites and or co2 to get rid of em.
What do you thinks better in regards to mothers short and sqwat or tall and Lolly poped?

...I typically pull 14-16 ounces with this 600....I'm thinking 15-16 this round. Dankx!:joint:
With 1 or 2 600 watt 15-16 oz??????? WoW! How many plants, what type of reflector, strain & is it potent, what type of ballast,bulb, and wheres you temp/Humid at and any info you can think of. Thanks you guys for the good pics and info great thread.

...20 kids under 1-600 watt HPS Lumatek bulb with a 600 watt Netgen digital ballest. Sunleaves 6" aircooled reflector with the double parabolic dented metal dome. That strain is Pure Power Plant, but I've yielded better....just go with an Indica dominate strain, for the most part....temps= 65-80F...RH= 30-50%...hydro, SoG, co2.....and alot of L-O-V-E.

Hows the potency? Nice pic^^

I love the PPP, its said to be mostly sativa by the breeder I got my genetics from but it tends to grow more like an indica and finishes quickly. I've grown several mothers and didn't really notice much variation from one to the next, seemed very stable. I've had the current one going for a year or two. The only real difference I noticed was a purpling of the leaves under cold stress late in flower. Most people that have tried it seem to recommend it for quality and cultivation. Its one of the easiest plants I've grown as it responds well to heavy feeding (soil for me) and it is highly disease and illness proof.

Great plants TF!

Thanks for the info Shawag. BTW that avatar makes me want to jerk off!

Thanks for all the help with the electrical ABF

May seem like a dumb question but was wondering were I should place my thermometer in the grow room. Should the temp be at 25 degress directly under the air cooled lamps? If I move it outside the tables I loose 5 degrees. Were should the temp be monitored?

No wucking furries. :)

Not a dumb question at all.

If the thermostat is placed where light can hit it, radiant IR will warm the thermostat's temp sensor (be that semiconductor (thermistor), mercury bulb or bimetallic spring), making the apparent temperature several degrees warmer than the actual air temperature. You need to measure the air temperature alone.

Shade the thermostat or place it out of the light pattern coverage. If you have enough oscillating circulation fans going to flutter every leaf in the op every 20 sec or so, the air temperature will be fairly homogeneous throughout the room- in that case, the thermostat can be placed anywhere, but at plant level is best.

ever[/I] have to ever use expensive RO or filtration systems is if one is sourcing water from a local bore/well, where water may contain high levels of salinity or sulfur. In 25 years of growing dope, I've never once seen tapwater from a municipal system cause problems in a hydroponic grow op.
So are you saying I should chuck my RO filter and start using straight tap water out of my faucet and my grows will be just as good as they were in the past with filtered water? Just want to double check on that.
