Nice info Herb, Roseman comes with the goods. I don't like to chase ph myself, never knew it was actually a good thing not to. Thought I was just being lazy. Seems to me like Lucas ratios seem to keep ph nice and stable without heavy fluctuations. I think adding too much stuff and then not doing it in the right order could be the cause of alot of peoples ph problems.

Here is an update, I tried from home last night but my cell connection wouldn't let me upload the pics. I think I may have a lighting dilemma... I have the jumbo illuminator 180 and a 90 UFO(also a cheap 225watt ( my ass) light brite panel I got on ebay for .96 cents LOL) I also have a T5 that is a 2 ft 4 tube fixture and 2 cheap grow lights from walmart. The plants are getting crowded already and was wanting to get them a bit taller before flowering. I also am gonna scrog them. should I pull three of them and put them into the other ebb n flo system I have and will I have enough light to flower all of them? money is a little tight right now so not looking forward to buying more LEDs right now. The Spectra LED 180 is $499.99. Another option I am considering is move the three smallest plants to the other EnF sys and just veg them under the T5 and treat them like mom's till I have more leds?? Any thoughts from the pros here?

I could try a SOG for my first grow till I have enough money for more leds. My new grow room should be done before they are ready to flower and I will have a lot of vertical space to let them grow up... I know I need more lights maybe a 600watt HID. HTGsupply has a nice looking Digital 600 watt HPS GROW LIGHT 600w 6" AIR COOLED HOOD on ebay for $264.95 with free shipping???
I'm no pro, just want to share my thoughts from my little experience. I think you should def consider pulling a couple and making mamas. Always good to have a mama or two for continuous grows and cloning practice. You think things are crowded now, wait til they stretch during flower. And they don't just stretch upward is what I learned. 0.96 cents for a led panel!! That is cheap!! Might want to try it by itself n see if it even grows anything. Sounds sketchy. Anyway, nice job bro you are looking good. Can't wait to see your flowering and new grow space. +reps for you bro. Peace!

That 96 cent panel is a toy and I thought it would be crappy but it was a buck lol!!
I have been thinking about it all day at work and trying to not waste any plants or space. leaning towards the 600 watt hps system
# 100% BRAND NEW!
# 600 watt HPS/MH Digital Greenhouse Electronic Ballast.
# EURO 6" Inline Air Coolable Reflector
# HTGSupply Brand High Output 95,000 Lumen 600 watt High Pressure Sodium Lamp/Bulb
# 15' Universal Socket Cord Set
For $265 that would give me enough light to get the job done combined with my 250 watt of leds. Or I could put three under the T5 and veg them longer and work on my cloning technique. I should not have sprouted all the seeds at once and gotten a grow under my belt till I knew what I was doing LMAO now I have 6 plants going maybe 2 weeks till ready to flower to figure out what I am gonna do with them all. I have more than enough room just need more light. Mike at Spectra if ya need another tester I am MORE than willing LOL!This is all a good learning experience start small and KISS but NOOooooooo I gotta jump in the deep end feet first. Oh and man the smell is awesome!!!

Damn it took me over 16 hours to get that last post to take! 420 kept timing out on me and failing to post. anyone else get that problem? Anyway while I was having my problems posting I went and bought that 600watt light system and it should be here in a few days. the girls are growing almost an inch or two a day now that I have the PH and ppm at good levels!

If it was me I would go with the HPS, as you bulid your 10x20 room you can add 3 more for more points of lights, looking good so far.

I bit the bullet last night and ordered the HSP system I will stick with LED's but I need some cash flow before adding more. So now I should have enough light to grow all of these babies and use the T5 for the clones I intend to take and get on track for a perpetual grow.

I would not veg. then very long ,the sodium will make them stretch at least 2-3 times they are now, in 10 days to two weeks, and then will have to start changing the res. the plants will eat at least a gal. of water a day so the nuts. get used up and the solution get full of plant waste.
