I was posting the same thing in your thread as you were posting this. I know the lights are very similar. The hub I got at lowes. It is located with the outdoor irrigation systems. It is made by rainbird, I think it costs $7.95. The flow is adjustable between 0 and 2.0 gph and you can adjust each line.

hey man looking good! so you're up to 1/3 strength now...with the GH how many tsp/gal is that?

I am using the lucas formula which is 5ml micro and 10ml bloom [per gallon for the vegetative stage. So what I did was add 5ml micro and 10ml bloom total (not per gallon) for their first meal. Since I have 6 gallons total i figure this as 1/6th and then about 36 hours later added another 5ml micro and 10ml bloom again total not per gallon so i figure I am now at 1/3rd. 5ml is approximately 1 teaspoon therefore so far I have put in 2 teaspoons of micro and 4 teaspoons of bloom.

You are using the three part GH system? Spyvy who also just started a very similar grow to us a couple of days after me sent me a link to a real easy conversion chart for using GH three part method, not sure if you need it but here is the link.

GH Flora Feeding Conversion Chart

I'll post some pics later of my nute bottles when I can get my phone to send em.

Looking good man I also started Feeding..

Are you also useing GH ??
... You are useing Micro/ Grow & Bloom all for vegging// ??..

I have a 14 gallon tub so I use 8 gallon to mark ,,,about 1 1/2 inch air space under the pot

I mixed up 20ML Grow to 8 gal & 20ML Of Micro to 8 gal / Should I throw in some Bloom also for vegging ?? and thinking tomorrow night do the same I think that would be 1./2 dose thus far ><< LOL

Hey man, thanks for the chart, yea thats what I'm running, not to the T but based off those numbers yes. and I am running gro and bloom during both phases, I'll stop using the the gro somewhere around the fifth week of flowering.

Spyvy according to all the GH charts I have seen you should be using 20 ml each of grow micro and bloom for 8 gallons of water to start. Although I would have probably worked up to that over the course of the week and then next wednesday drain the res and replenish with their week 1 schedule which would be 40 ml grow 20 ml micro and 20 ml bloom for 8 gallons. You should be fine but I would keep a close eye the next couple of days to make sure you don't get nute burn. If you do see any just drain the res and give them plain water for a day or two.

I am not following that formula. I am only using GH Micro and Bloom at a rate of 5ml micro and 10 ml bloom per gallon for veg and 8ml micro and 16ml bloom per gallon for flower. This is called the Lucas Formula and it is fairly widely used. I have been told that this is better for marijuana than the regular GH formula but this is up for debate.

I attached some pics, the first shows the micro and bloom I am using and the second shows some free samples that I was given by the owner of my local hydro shop. I plan to use them during flowering.

sweet free samples man!! I wish my dude was that cool, although he did offer me good prices on herb he grew, lol!!
