my 3 stages of flower

I would get 6 inch if you one reflector to vent, 8 inch for 2.......... Get the highest cfm vortex in the size you need!

Hey SS, how many plants you currently running per 1000w??

12 plus 2 dwc

Oc, that cord is a 120v style, there is a 240v cord available. And adaptor should be fine or cut the end off and splice on one that works, simple.

i got 4 to vent,

but im all gonna be using a 8" unovair duct.. cause ill be venting outside

Od, hows the new girls?

Going good!!!!!! Zero problems and the 9 orange bud seeds are growing good too!!! Hey, is the Superskunk perfectly symmetrical as it grows???

Do you guys only grow one strain or do you grow multiple but always keep just one strain per res when flowering? I am hoping to go 3 dif strains with 3 rails. As you have seen from my current flowers that I have a hodgepodge of stuff but I am learning quickly easier when everything in that res wants the same nutrients.

I just went from 13 to 9 strains and I run combinations of them in aero and a couple I only do in section because they are too short.

Need some help gents, some of my leafs are starting to curl up, I still have my plants in the cloner, this is the 2nd week, 8 of my plants roots are in the water already. I started from 10 seeds 9 made it. No nutes have been added and I noticed some yellowing on some of the leaves. I keep the res. temps from 76-78f the room temp is between 74-76 I have a small fan in the tent and am using 3 cfl's . I will finish my veg unit tomorrow and get the nutes also. What am I doing wrong? Please please please help. Thank you. Obtw I'm growing Barney's farm LSD,pineapple xpress,and Acapulco gold. DNA seeds are la woman,la confidential, and stacked kush. Reserve Pravda seeds are silver La, sour kush, og kush #18. The laughing Buddha seed din't make it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds to me like there looking for nutes. I would have in a low ppm mixture of your nutes. 100ppm to start off to about 300. We'll see what the other's have for advice for ya too.

Bigmomma, now is a critical time to get Res temps down, immediately. Use frozen water bottles and get them some nutes.

Ss1, brung res temps down to 68, is that ok? My room temps are 74-76. I'm p/u nutes as soon as I get off. From work. Ill have my veg unit completed tonight or tomorrow.

Hey SS, sending a big Mahalo (thanks) your way as my first full harvest is approaching. I used the ratios that you suggested of Botanicare nutes and the results are looking good. I might be able to pass along a couple lessons learned to other newbs. Mixing strains can be a problem, like when my G-13 Haze was happy-healthy with the nutes, the Pineapple Chunk was getting leaf spots which went away when I increased the nutes/Cal-Mag, but then the leaf tips on the G-13 started to burn. So finding strains that have close requirements would have helped. Also the growth rate and harvest time the same would help. The lights have to be adjusted up for the highest plants so the slow ones won't get as much light as they otherwise could, further slowing their progress. And flushing before harvest is a problem is some of the plants need another week or 2 when some need to flush now... You get the idea, similar plants in the rails will make for better results.

And regarding the venting of lights, heck yes, if you run 600-1000 watt lamps you would be nuts to not have vented hoods. Firstly, exposed bulbs are a serious safety risk, please look this up if you need the details. Second, connecting the vent intake to a fresh air supply, like from another room and then exhausting to either another room or outside uses 'clean' air, not stinky air from the grow. These lights make so much heat that you need to vent that heat somewhere and the only practical way is with vented hoods. Trying to counter the heat with an AC is a tough fight to win. It is not an efficient way to win this battle. You might need to supplement your cooling techniques with AC, but first step is to get the bulk of the heat managed by venting it thru the hoods to somewhere else.

SS, I really appreciate your taking time to post here as your tips have helped me with this great hobby. Glad to see that you are mending fences with SB, been quite an online story developed there with you and he. I think that conflict is normal when you get people working at a high level on a complex problem and getting past that human stuff really grows us as people. Being a spectator in this arena has been a learning process that really is fun. Once again, thanks.

Almost forgot-without pictures it didn't happen.

Very sweet 420. Thanks for the nice words.

Hey SS, do you still use the same recipe as on page 7? Any changes or updates to it? Your shit is so beautiful and i've been dabbing (no pun intended) into using silica blast, aqua shield and hydroplex in my recipe and yours looks fucking perfect. Thanks in advance!

It's pretty much the same. I really don't flush anymore due to ppm being at a point where salt buildup is not noticeable.

That is good to know! Do you add more nutes when topping of your res? Say you add 5 gallons do you mix up 5 gallons worth of nutes and add that as well?

Hey thanks for the quick response, do you have a constant ppm for each step in your formula, I'm sure you have your genetics mastered, but I read mainly your flowering is set to 850 ppm or something of the sort, is that just a general safe place to start for all different genetics? and is it the same for your veg formula?
