re: Cardboard Flowerbox Test 3 - 41 Week Perpetual SOG
im sure you will figure it out mate, have you checked the temps, i dont know much about hydro growing so only asking what others have, not seen you reply about the res temp yet, growers use the ice packs out of cool boxes and place that in the res to lower the temps.
im not actually sure how you got your system working without going back through your journal, sorry mate but i read that many it gets confusing with so many grows, i know you all by name but when you talk about your grow set up i usually flick back a few pages and have a read again, but its 3am here and i gota be up at 7am for job interview, but chances are ill still be awake, or what usually happens is its gets to about 6am and i tell myself to turn the tv on and get up, then all of a sudden my brain decides to rest, so i think ok ill get 30min sleep, so set the alarms, then when they go off im just to run down to even move, some times the alarm can be going off for a whole hour before i feel able to get up and turn it off, broke many alarm clocks by trying to press buttons by only using my fingers to feel with my eyes closed, if it dont work, it gets the wall, usually solves the problem.
on my aero garden mate my problem was the pumps was pumping to much fluid to the plant itself, this was causing slime or algae to grow in the part where the base of the plant was and it was growing up the stem, so i unplugged the pump and added to air stones, so now all i got is plenty of bubbles, i got no light getting in and the plant is growing a lot better, plus the slime or what ever it was dried up and brushed off and it hasnt come back, id say my plants looks a whole lot better, could this have anything to do with your problem, to much water mate, it really affected my plant, made the leaves go a light colour, think it was flooding the grow medium, its strange how it does that when the roots enjoy a good swim, even with the fluid moving all the time with the pump it was still causing problems on the lowest setting out of 7 settings, so i turned it off and not i got something thats like a bubble grow, not exactly sure what the name is for this type of grow but it seems to work well.
woudlnt you ever consider going back to soil, its meant to make the bud taste better or so im told, hydro is quicker to grow i think but if you plan on a vegging schedule like say 4 to 6 weeks then i dont think the extra growth matter, im sure yield is not far off the same,
have you ever done full soil grow mate, is that how you started, what would you say the benefits are with the way your growing, a lot of people have problems with hydro, its something i want to try but if the worse happened then id be done with having some profesional grow instead of just sticking some seeds in pots, im risking it having a light, but im not growing for getting high, i really am growing for my health and my kids health, i dont mean their smoking it their only 5 and 7, but when ive not slept for 4 or 5 nights things could go wrong, im no good to them when im in that state, it would be so easy to leave the cooker on or bath running with hot water, i have to be very careful, and taking sleeping tablets dont help cuz if my kids wake up ill in the night then the tablets i been taking paralise your legs, i tried getting off the bed thinking my legs where working, but i went to stand up and collapsed on the floor, i couldnt even pull myself back on the bed, s my duaghter went and put blanket over me and got her pillow of her bed and lay on floor with me, i stopped taking them after that, and smoking cannabis has given me the chance to cut down on the others they give me, hoping to stop very soon as been medicated by these plants works far better than anything ive got off the doctor
, 
out.
