Hydro Light Worker journal

That is up to you and your finances... I would get one and run it if I had the available cash.
 
Man this site consumes a lot of my time. My head is spinning. I must have spent at least 6 hours on here today. Anyway I was going to go ahead and put my plants into flower a little earlier than I first thought but I was looking at them and one has mold on the rockwool and base of the plant. So I think I want to get that cleared up before I send it into flower. I did a bunch of trimming on the bottom of all of my plants to get some better air flow and then made up a 10:1 mixture of water and milk. I am not sure I made the right decision but I read that you shouldn't spray the leaves while the lights were on but damp darkness promotes mold. So I raised my light as far as I could and sprayed. Did I make the right Choice? And did I mix the milk right?

this was one of the reasons why I stopped using rockwool...........PM. I suggest changing over to hydroton next time you have clones to plant!

What do you use when starting from seeds?
Did my reply to your PM come through?

From now on i use rapid rooters. I use to use rockwool as my medium in DWC and I always had issues.

Nope, no pm came through bud, didn't think it would. i'll PM you my number.

After looking at this I didn't make myself very clear, sorry about that.
i don't plant my rooted clones in the netpots anymore with rockwool due to the PM, I also don't use rockwool anymore for cloning and use rapid rooters. Should have followed Xlr8's lead on this a long time ago.
 
Pics were taken yesterday sept 25th about 27 days into veg. I stepped the ppm up to 1070. Not sure how they will react. Will be sending into flower by Sunday. Plants are 17 inches tall which is close to half my capacity for height in cabinet.

Thanks these cabinets seem to do that.


I am looking forward to using your product as soon as I run out of what I have. I have heard nothing but good things about your stuff!

I also plan on getting some when I run out. Don't think it will be 22g's though:clap:
 
Ok I am going to put my plants into flower tomorrow night. I am going to keep the lights off for around 36 hours and switch from my veg cabinet with the 400w to the cabinet with the 600w. Can anyone tell me if I should put the added lights out period before the normal lights on time, after or split the difference?

My plants seem to love the added nutes. I should have bumped up the ppm a couple weeks ago. I will take a couple more pics after I make the switch.

I think I am going to pick up some more clones soon so I can start my next crop.

Thanks everyone for all of your help.

Who are you getting your clones from and what are the costs they are charging you.

I haven't got anything lined up for sure. I just found a guy that has some for 10 to 15 dollars. He even has plants ready to flower for 25. I guess he use to supply a dispensery that had to close down. I was going to check them out next week.

Nice looking plants LW, time to get rid of some fan leaves!!!

Yeah, I am about 4 plants short for my grow and am in need of some nice clones.

I have been trying to figure out when what and how much to trim(believe it or not I have already trimmed quite a bit a couple weeks ago). I read a couple other threads that talked about removing all the fan leaves 21 days into flowering. They said the old thought of needing to leave them on was for outside plants that used them to store water and nutes for dry spells. But with indoor gardening, especially hydroponics that is not necessary and they have been getting much better buds in the lower plant area due to more light. Here is a link to one and in it there is a link to another from Mr Krip SpiriTHC's 2L Hempy vs DWC-H Tsunami of Green - CycoPlatinum I didn't read the complete threads so I don't know why they pick the 21 day mark. What are your thoughts?
