Please do! I'm a new grower and could use all the help I can get. When I get it setup I'll start a new journal

I’m jealous of your grow room! It looks fantastic.

After the first go round, I told my kid, we're not growing anything till I could get a handle on a controlled environment, temp and RH, I think I'm getting close. Decided after firing up the lights, I need 4 all together so the corners could get covered. More pictures tomorrow

this is my last post on this grow journal, ill start another one with the new title, thanks for all the support and advice along the way. I'm still going to need support and advice with this new adventure, I'm going to list all the renovations and equipment I'm using. printed the instructions on how to start a journal so maybe that 1 will be more informative about what I'm trying to accomplish. better quality and quantity is what I'm going for. It's been a wild ride for the last year, learned alot and hope to put that knowledge to use.
thanks again for all the help and advice. the 1 thing I will remember
after the "first" nuet burn is a member telling me "whatever your doing STOP!!!!!" still cracks me up

you got it, in the signature? just about there. just about to finish up the room, lights came it saturday (mars-hydro sp250's 6 of them) need a special cord apparently to daisy chain them together and ph doser yesterday, figuring out the scrog\trellis system before hand, (2 heads are better than 1 syndrome ) THEEEEN pick out a nice sativa to grow. I'm getting pretty excited but i know there's going to be a learning curve and will suck up all the info i can get form here. here's a preview of what i have . i have more pics on my phone i haven't uploaded of the lights. Side note; where did they move this journal to, finished journals?

pics of my new lights mars hydro sp250's and my new ph doser.

 

[mojuan]

Set up the ph doser late last night, I'll check it soon but it was working hard last night to get it to 5.8 from 7.2. Dosing 1 sec every 8 minutes. This is going to be awesome.

Ok, quick question, been running test runs with this system and this is happening.

What is this calcium?

 

[Reave]

Did you not wash them well before using?

 

[Van Stank]

No clue, never used them.

 

[Reave]

My friend said this happened to him. Imo he did not clean them well enough. Got to rinse them off real good then soak them overnight in 5.0ph then makes sure they are strained off again then they should be good to use.

Hey man looking like you’ve been busy. Your setup looks killer. About the white stuff above I don’t know what it is but I get it as well even when I run straight RO water. I flush my clay pebbles biweekly with my weekly res change. Once my system is drained I dump Fresh Ro water through the top washing that shit away then pump clean. This keeps my tops clean of that for the most part. I don’t cover my netpots because I like to flush them. Many do cover them with tin foil or reflective bubble covers and maybe someone can let us know if it happens when covered.As mentioned above pre rinse always.
I hope you enjoy that controller it’s the shit. I’ve lost my manual but check yours out I think it says to drop the dispenser bottle to water level (on the ground) as low as possible to prevent siphon if the power goes out when the pump is on. I could b wrong and maybe I read it for something else as I read a lot but it maybe worth having a look into. Looks great man can’t wait to c that space rock. Play safe

As long as the dispenser side isn't in the water it won't siphon back into the ph bottle, I looked up the manual on line because the 1 sheet instructions that came with it wasn't enough for me. Took this old man till 130 in the morning and reading through it umpteen times to comprehend but I finally figured it out lol

Yes but was using tap water for my test runs but have now switched to ro water
