my SH experience

I was just wondering if there's anyone out there that's had a good experience with Stealth Hydro's stuff besides Roseman.

I regret ever laying eyes on that site. NOTHING I bought has done what it is supposed to do. PH Monitor? yeah right, I got Acid burn on 6 plants because of that piece of junk. AND IT STILL read like 5. something when I was trying to get a ph reading, it had to be more like 1....

I have been trying to get a successful grow going for over 2 months with all this SH crap, and nothing. I can't get past about 3-4 nodes before SOMETHING goes wrong or some piece of equipment craps out like that PH monitor did. So, 2 months after having finally purchased the last of my grow equipment and I'm still at Square 1. Anyone thinking about shopping @ SH should give it a second thought, and probably just go with High Tech Garden Supply or some place like that.

Go get PH drops, WAY easier. For nutes, go buy General Hydroponics Flora kit. Grow, Micro, and Bloom. Add root juice for veg, kool bloom for flower, Follow the directions on the back of the containers and I DARE your Ph to get out of control. I bought a damn Ph up/down kit, I have NEVER had a chance to use it :). The nutes are cheap, work great, and balance Ph sooooo well. Also if you stick to the directions on the back, you don't even need to bother with checking PPM etc, I have a meter but never really use it.

hey what problems are you having?,i went thru many problems with it myself.my problems was i kept getting root rot or some sort of funky bacteria on my roots it happen twice no matter what i did, once a mass root structure took place they would tangle up together and it seemed as if they was fighting when that happened it would break the roots off that was coming out of the sides of the net pots and then i would have a bunch of dead roots tangle up with the live roots it was a nightmare needless to say,so i ended tossing my first grow,started a second with some stuff to prevent that bacteria,like hydroguard and some sensizyme,well what do know it happened all over again at the same point of the grow,now what i did this time around was two and a half weeks into it i switch to 12/12 in the rez for 7 days i used only superthrieve hydroguard and sensizyme,in 5 days the plants recovered from the root stress,by the 7 day i had one showing signs of a male and 2 showing females signs so at that point i tossed the for sure male and kept the 2 females i only used 5 plants this time around after failing with 6 so i ended up tossing 3 and kept the 2 i was 100% on being female,now with only 2 plants they seem to be doing ok, imo i would do 2 to maybe 3 plants in it i think it is too small for 6 plants most of the people that has success with it only made journals with one or 2 plants in it,i have yet to see 6 plants in it being successfull i have searched other forums too and its the same thing here is a couple of pics i took yesterday of the 2 i kept

Yea forgot about the hydroguard as well. Also every few weeks run a res. of clearex threw the plants to get the salt deposits out of them.

this is my second shot and its lookin good i didnt use the nutes the time around i went with fox farms 3 pak,and once my roots hit the rez water i took the water pump out to cut back on rez temps,i will be happy with a couple of nice buds with this so i wont feel it was a total lost but my next grow will be dirt this was my first time growing anything.as for ph i use there ph up and down i bought the ph meter from htg for like 50 bucks but honestly i ph the water then mix my nutes and give it to them every 5-7 days i change it,i dont even check ph after that, so far so good any help needed let me know i will do my best but i also had help from some other members here, its been a learning experience for me
