    Nutrients pulled from solution in groups.

    For those of you who are into the science behind nutrient control, found an interesting article on nutrient solutions and the different groups of nutrients. Apparently high mobility nutes (group 1) are removed from the solution within hours, and therefore higher concentrations can be toxic...

    Torn about root zone temperatures.

    So I bought a chiller for my RDWC the other day. Everything looking great got temp at 68F.

    12,000 watt metal halide bulb 900,000 lumens.

    Found this 12,000 watt 6000K metal halide for only $8,429 bucks. Seems like a steal. Anyone used this bulb yet for a grow? It supposedly puts out 900,000 lumens, which I think is OK for seedlings, but I'll probably need 2 for good veg growth. I don't think I would need special ventilation for...

    DWC seedlings looking ok?

    Here's my two DWC Seedlings about day 4 and 5 since sprout. Just wondering if they look alright size wise.
