Hello all... this is something I've struggled with the last 4 grows... when to start feeding... I am growing three indicas and a sativa in Ocean Forest soil... They are just starting out veg. First plant today has 3 full sets of leaves... I have always started too late in an effort to avoid...

It's funny you say that... besides initial lumen output I don't see a whole lot of difference betwen the sweet hortilux one and the inexpensive one... :) Hortilux: http://www.eyehortilux.com/tb/superhps/EQS-N-52-78-66620.pdf Sylvania...

Perfect! thanks for the answer :)

Something I've always been curious about but am not sure I am getting good information on is, why am I paying $100 for my Hortilux 400W HPS bulb when I could be buying one of these at like 10-50% of the price... http://www.1000bulbs.com/400-Watt-HPS/

yeah now I am just weirded out, it's just flickered back to being as bright or brighter than I've ever seen it... it wouldn't do that if it were dying would it?!

I probably would have had another one, I didn't expect to lose the bulb during the 3rd grow... I know better now...

Well at the canopy my light meter went from about 1100fc to 200 :( if I can't get one tomorrow, I'll throw the MH back in... ARGH! :(

Yeah tried that, still very dim :(

I just realized today that my bulb was extremely dim when it came on.. was fine yesterday, I guess it's life is about over... How much is the dim light or the possibility of it going out going to effect the plants during this light cycle until I can get a new bulb tomorrow? Should I just treat...

Yeah... this coming grow will be #4 that goes all the way with hopefully no casualites again... I've improved my yield about 30% each time and have always had some small little fuck up that hoses the plants just before flowering... I know the knack will come after several tries, just trying to...

yeah that's what I am doing now, and still overwatering... or so it would seem... it's really hard to find that balance if you're not there looking at it everyday...

Anyone know of, or use moisture sensors to determine when to turn the irrigation pumps on and off? I am trying to determine how i can best leave my soil systems running on their own for a week or two at a time and ensure that things are sufficently dried before the irrigation kicks on again...

Thanks again for your help... I do set the water out at least 36 hours before it's used... the buds are looking freakin great...

You know of any organic chlorine neutralizer?

Thanks for your help... you're right about the chlorine burn, it's from the flushes, I don't have anywhere to store 18 gallons of water to evaporate before the flushes :( Everything in the reservoir sits for at least a day before it's used...

Here they are... overall mostly gorgeous... the last pic is my g-13 Haze girl... I can't wait :) :bigjoint:

Yeah it was high if it was anything... 7.2-7.5... my goal has been 6.5-7 hopefully I can get it back down over the next week or so... just dumped the reservoir and started over with fresh water... I just use the reservoir for the fresh water, and then when I do feedings I do it manually... I was...

I am going to flush this weekend... I've been doing flush, feed water, water, water, feed, x4, flush... they are looking healthy these days... I think whatever defiency occurred was probably in the first 1 or 2 weeks of veg right when I started to feed them, I guess with the organics I need to...

I did my first of the scheduled 30day flushes about 3 weeks ago and it seems to pretty much halt the process, but the leaves with the issues just kept going down hill... any of the leaves that havent progressed this far are just normal looking with sporadic blackish gray spots on them... just...

I replaced the batteries in and calibrated my pH meter today and realized I may very well have been off by about .5pH for a few weeks... checking runoff today everything seems to be around 6.7 which is what my goal is... it's a soil grow, organic grow and bloom nutes, h202, and epsom salts once...
