Okay, I just brought it back to 2 feet. How long before I move closer?

I'm growing 3 plants of Global Northern Light and 3 of Starlight. Got them from a seed company in Amsterdam. I have some called Master Haze, but I am waiting to try growing that when I have a little more experience.

Thanks bizzy-- Did you say that you had used this NFT system before? If so, what was your final yield like? Were you happy with the result, and did you continue to use it as your grow method? I'm starting to wonder if I might have done better going with an ebb & flow or drip system instead.

Thanks--brought the light down to 18 inches above tops. Will start flushing tomorrow, and my nutes should be arriving around middle of next week, so I will add maxi gro then. I guess the first grow is always a learning experience... If these all turn out to be males after all of this, I think my...

Guru: Have already flushed earlier this week with pH balanced water for 24 hours. Burn seems to have stopped at bottom leaves and has not progressed. I am using distilled water, pH balanced and mixed with small amount of nutrients. I was hesitant to move the light any lower for fear of...

Using just "base" nutrient (1&1/4 teaspoon per 5 gallon reservoir). MH grow light ("conversion" bulb used in 400w hps ballast) @ 3 feet from top of plants. Just installed the mylar all around on walls today. I have ordered a chiller for the res, as the ambient room temp never goes much below...

Do these plants look like they should @ 2 weeks? Seems like they might be growing a little slow. There was some nutrient burn early on, so I flushed and it seems to be gone. Growth just seems a little slow. Any input is appreciated-- (please see my other posts on "general indoor growing" under...

Thanks Mario and Bizzy-- Looking for an affordable chiller and I just ordered some maxigro and maxibloom, 1.5 lb each. Second res with float valve sounds like a great idea, will give it a try. It's been 24 hours since last change out and plants are looking good, so hopefully the most I will...

Thanks Mario: Actually, the nutes came with the set-up, and are only identified as base, grow, catalyst and bloom. Base is used the second week (or after first set of strong leaves shows), then a mixture of base, grow and catalyst from third week on until ready to flower, when bloom is added to...

Thanks for the ideas--- Today I changed out the water and replaced with distilled water pH balanced to 5.5. Plan on flushing for at least 24 hours, more if needed. Hope they recover... -Mojo

These are two of my six seedlings at one week. I'm using an NFT hydro system, MH bulb (conversion bulb that works in 400w hps system) about 3 feet from plants (sse my prior post: grow room pics) going 24 hours, distilled water (kept balanced at 5.4, never got above 5.8-6.0 prior to correcting)...

I have a feeling the 400 will do it as well. I'm in a very hot desert climate and the humidity is sweltering right now, so I've got the intake and exhaust fans for both the main grow area and the upper section running just to keep the temp at arounf 80 degrees during the day. The MH is putting...

Thanks, DS, I have both a 400w hps 55k lumens and a MH conversion bulb (which is now in place for seedling/early veg cycle, 24/0). Joey: got this system for around 500.00, but they (ezhydrokit.com) do run sales and sometimes you can get it cheaper. That was including everything: NFT system...

Finally got the seedlings underway and thought Iwould post a few pics of the set-up for all who have been so helpful---thanks everyone! Seedlings are up and on their way, and the top section of the closet has been rigged for cloning/veg, etc.. Fingers crossed, hope these babies produce a...

Thanks, Strain, and thanks also for the reply to my "best germinating" post. I will be going with the 24/0 light plan for veg. My seeds (after cracking and showing the white root) were transplanted to rockwool (dipped in 5.8 pH water form my res) yesterday morning, but no sign of them...

Just wanted to formally retract my earlier statements---although I still think their customer service was very lacking, I did receive my seeds fro AMsterdam (Global Seed Network) a couple of days ago (total of seven days to get here), and they are currently in wet paper towels. Never let it be...

Thanks, Strain-- Video was very informative and I will be using as I grow for sure. Is an 18/6 light cycle also okay for veg? Just wondering if I can keep my electric bill down a bit. I have had the seeds in some wet paper towels for just about 24 hours and last I checked they looked like...

My grow room is set and I hope to see my seeds soon. Been reading as much as possible on how to germinate and get things started, just wondering if there is one method that is considered the best overall. The wet paper towel method seems to be one of the most popular, but I've heard of...

Hi to all: Have already posted a few times and gotten some very informative, useful and creative feedback from some very cool folks. I am a newbie and first time grower starting out with a basic hydro set-up. So much to learn! Have spent the last week converting spare bedroom closet into...

Thanks DS, Hick-- DS: Thanks for all the help. I just moments ago completed some of the finishing touches on the grow room formerly known as a closet. Got the bathroom ceiling fan (50cfm/4.0 sones)@ Home Depot for $12.99, a wall mount oscillating fan for $19.99, a roll of black painter's...
