    Ouch!!! --------terrible news tyy. No fun living under dark clouds. What are you charged with? I agree about the paid lawyer thing-----seems like justice in this country is proportional to how much you can afford. However; take a good look at the "early resolution" they may...

    Week 8 Flower Still SMALL BUDS!!!!

    Hey Budley, I think(?) you mentioned using 6" square pvc. If so-----can you say where you found it?------I've been looking for it. IMO, those 5" fence posts (GH aeroflow size) are too small for large plants. Wish I could find 6" wide x about 12"-16" deep. A~~~

    Week 8 Flower Still SMALL BUDS!!!!

    This is why its difficult for me to believe those yields from your pics (hope I'm wrong). Two 10' x 4' sections---each under three 1000w hps air cooled lights on a mover. Yield was 24 zips per 1K-----now looking at those canopy pics-----to yield 3 lbs per 1K would be double the...

    Week 8 Flower Still SMALL BUDS!!!!

    First grow ever-----:clap:. My first thought about "chemical burn" on the leaf tips and edges----nutes too strong----but 850 ppm---what conversion factor? Suggestion: Take sample buds at different stages of cloudy-----and find out for yourself which one you enjoy more. I haven't ever run LED...

    aero cloner not cloning

    Sup stink, Yea, I keep reading that but in my world if I don't use a dome (high RH) or mist the cuttings often first few days-----they just wilt and fall over. I agree about the warmer temps-----I shoot for around 78F. A~~~

    Submersible pump Question

    Sure, that would work but at vertical height expense. The pump will pressurize the feed lines-----if large enough (I have my doubts about a $20 pump). Here's a pic of one of my designs.

    Submersible pump Question

    Inline pump is the better option because: 1) Less heating of the nutes. 2) makes is much easier to flush / reload nutes. 3) like r m m suggested-----waterfall. A~~~

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    Well, that gets us in the ball park. Wouldn't be any fun to grab a fully fired up 1K HID bulb----ouch! IMO, heat removal is one of most difficult challenges we indoor boys face----especially south of Mason-Dixon. A~~~

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    Good info. If I understand correctly, and did the math right----that's .99 grams per watt (I think). That's very difficult with a 1K single ended hortilux. What is your estimate in terms of heat reduction comparing a 1K se bare bulb against your 900w module? A~~~

    :clap:---------but didn't you mean "manicure all day"? I hope the next toy you buy is a good quality light meter (that measures at least 10,000 foot candles). I'm curious about the intensity your plants are receiving. Thanks for the pics, A~~~
