I want to believe you that you're researching as much as possible but then you come with questions like what should your Ph be? A google search would show that this question has been answered on hundreds of sites, tens of thousands of times.

tap too high of ppms. try RO water. buy it by the jug at walmart.

pH 5.5 to6.1

if tap is 218, how do you get 448 without nutes?

Ok sorry about the delay and absence,

Specs:
8 cfl lights
Nutes: 1/4 of grow big plus 2 extra drops
Orca microbes
Ppm: 520 and 560
Temp: 70°

Hello all, lmfao have you guys seen these politics? Anywayssssss, ladies are doing ok roots had some brown on them a week ago temps where way too high before i started chilling the water, but now they are doing great, i am worried because they are like a GREEN-YELLOW color, but im thinking they just need time from recovery because i missed a res change other than that what you guys think?

oh man... politics...

so yellow means its pulling nutrients from the leaves, if its older growth i think that means nitrogen deficient. Also, it looks like they're starting to cup upwards which could mean they're too hot, or the lights are too close

Well see i have correcred some errors
1. There was light bleeding into the water through the cutouts in the lid. *Fixed
2. Lights are nigga rigged and are constantly falling and getting closer to the little babies as they are growning rapidly. *Fixing today
3. There wasnt any root growth due to the water being too high and not enough good microbes. *Added some microbes last week checking root growth today
4. One of the Cfls fell and busted upon the rocks. *Changing water and rocks today
5. Fixing my whole fixture setup and adding more fans

Questions For you all:
I have a 120cfm fan should i make it intake our exaug

Also therll be a spec update when i get home in a few

oh man, yea that's some mayhem there
