There looking pretty healthy so far. Nice start, keep showing them the love. K.I.M.

Thanks! I am having some issues with rising PPMS. My tap water comes out at 125. I added 11ml sensi grow parts a&b,1.5ml of cal mag and 11ml b52. My ppm was sitting at 350. When i just went in there and checked my ppm is at 455. My res temp is 80 degrees...thinking i should wrap it in reflectix. Its a reflective bubble insulation sold at lowes or home depot. Also my ph is at 5.8. I have to add PH down daily to keep it under 6.
Overall they are coming along well trying to get everything dialed in. Right when i do itll be time to move them lol!!

dude 80F is crazy res temps ....get enough wrap for a double coat !!!

always add your calmag to the res 1st & let mix ... doesn't like mixing with other nutes neat

no need for b52 yet either ? ...do you have voodoo juice or another root stim ? that & the sensigrow a+b is best for babys :thumbs::Sharing One:

Yea man the temps are high. im gonna move them out back to the shed. they will be in a bigger area and with more airflow. i have a 6inch can fan along with an inline fan. as Ashamed as i am to admit it i have become addicted to painkillers and any activity i do revolves around wether or not i have them nasty lil pills and as of right now im out....if anyone has battled this addiction before and has any advice or anything please lemme know..... WEnt to lowes the other day and they wanted 70 bucks for a 50ft 12 gauge extension cord so i took a 25 ft 14 gaughe cord outta the packaging and put the 50ft 12 gauge in the 25ft 14 gauge packaging saving me a whopping 50 bucks LOL. BUt the cord is still like 15 ft short so ima need to pick up another one. Regarding the b-52 it says on the bottle to use during weeks 3 through 6 of your flowering stage and all through out your veg stage.

well i got the m all moved out back today. what a mess...lol rite now all i can say is atleast i got the m in there. i got a 30 gal. res im gonna put the ones that are currently in the emilys garden in. 4 of them will go in the 30 gallon res and i thnk 2 ill put back in the flood and drain once i get everything out there and organized. had the ol lady help me today. all i had her do was check the ph in the buckets lol and she somehow managed to fry the ph meter...she dipped it all the way in the water LOL...lucilky i had another one that i got from the purchase i made on craiglist. i upped the nutes today too going from 400 ppm to about 750. one plant did fall out when i was making the move so im sure it got stressed...also fuked up on the cal mag...added 2 table spoons instead of teaspoons in the 4 5 gal buckets...man.....what a shitttaay day lol. They are also now under 600 watt hps...the plan was to keep them under the cfls for a few more weeks. but i ran outta time today...i will proly add the 4 125 cfls back when they start to flower...

Should I put the CFLs back on and turn off the hps? I went back in the grow room tonite after I recalibrated my back up ph meter. Come to find out it's a ph meter,thermometer, ec and I believe a ppmeter all in one lol now if I can figure this rascal out.
I got all the buckets ph af 5.4-5.8. Don't think I'll ever let the girlfriend/fiancé back in the grow room. She feted my meter and a coupe spots on the leaves look like Maybe some nutes splashed on them idk. Ppm readings were 500 for Emily's garden and between 640-700 for the buckets. Now.. I have a 30 gallon plastic tub and lid outback and a summers able pump. Black tubing and the spikets to put on the buckets my question here is should I just use that to mix all my nutes in and then into my buckets or should I take the 5 plants out of the Emily's garden and just use that for the res?

Well here's an update... Can hear an echo in here I think....day 12 the bright spots on the one plant are from Sumin splashing the leaves.
They seem to be doing ok to me..

Wierd leaves on this big devil.






Battling ph.. Likes to creep up daily to around 6-6.3. Nothing i can't handle unless I'm advised of something more serious.
:takin one to the head:

Any ideals about the wierd leaf in the first photo??

 

[Oxykontinkush]

Is there anybody out there lol.....

 

[Oxykontinkush]

Another update....someone will say something sooner or later :Sharing One:. I added a can fan today. hooked vent onto cool tube for the 600 watt HPS. Then ran the ducting out a hole in the side of the tent. I had just an inline fan hooked to the back of my cooltube but i was just blowing the hot air right in the tent. I have a window unit AC i mite rig up to put in the shed. Only thing that concerns me about that is how obvious it would look lol. Hmmm wonder why theres a window unit airconditioner hanging out the back of that shed. I have the inline fan that i took off the cool tube...im thinking about drilling a hole in the floor of the shed and stickin the fan in it. then running some ducting to have it blow inside the tent in one of the bottom corners.i read that its best to have your intake coming in at the bottom and the exhaust leaving through the top.

Here's a few shots of the duct connecting to the cooltube>to canfan>outside of the tent.



Also i am gonna flip lights from 24/0 to 20/4 or 18/6. What one do you guys think i should go with? 18 or 24? When i make the flip im also adding 4x 125 watt cfl grow lights.They will sit over the 4 dwc buckets. and the 600 watt will be over the emilys garden( i have a 30 gallon res im setting up. I got it all wrapped in insulation and the holes cut in the lid. When i went to install the bucket tap the placstic cracked in a few spots, so i have been spraying the outside of the container where it leaks with flex seal. once i get the leaks stopped ill be putting the ones in the emilys garden into it. And it sits directly under the 600 watt hps. Also im thinking about changing my light from horizontal to vertical. How do you think that will work out? Should i just leave it horizontal?
