Hot Grow Chick said:Whats up Man!
Yeah man i took your advise and went and bought 2 4' 2 bulb flouresence. They were like $8 each. And i put 4-40 watt 3500 lumen bulbs in. And yeah im running a little under half strength saution in them, i have pics and a list of what earlyer in the thread. And yeah i made sure to pre soak my rockwool in ph adjusted water and thrive alive. And i check the PH of my water every day and adjust it. Which in fact i have a question, i pre mixed up a pitcher of ph adjusted water "5.8" and when i go to check it a couple days later its ph has changed. Is that normal? And i really dont plan on making any clones i kinda want to grow a couple difrent strains every grow... But not sure yet.
hey timmy, ur a hot chick now?? lol jk.. neway, the ph does go up or down, usaully for me it always went up, im pretty sure.. (since i have a bigger bottle of the ph down than i do of the ph up..
there is a way to lock it up.. so it dont really go up or down.. im not sure where i saw or read this..
but long story short..--- if u get ur water in the tub.. wait...
first off u want to go buy a new tub (with lid).. same exact size as the one ur hydro uses.. its like a 20 or 18 gallon rubbermaid tub from walmart...(not clear.. same color as other, best bet..) (darker the better)..
u might want to invest in sum Spray paint (black) (for plastics) $2-3 at walmart.. to spray the outsides of ur tubs.. this lessens the chances of ur water going nasty with algae or ne other nastys, caused by light.. light also damages roots... roots shall never see light!!!
u want this so, when u need to change ur solution, u have anotha tub to set ur lid with ur plants in and on..
change water once a week.. same day every week..
say u start with fresh solution.. on a MONDAY.. well on Saturday night u want to fill ur tub to desired amount, (pry like 5 or 10 gallons)?? cant imagine u using more than that.. but neway.. the reason for filling it sat or even sunday is ok.. (24hrs at least is needed) so it can sit over night, to break down the chorline.. or chorlphyl sumthing like that..
after sitting for 24hrs in a dark spot.. NO LIGHT, NO LID..
check the ph- bring it to level... and it should lock it there.. if im right..
then add ur nutes.. check it again.. see if it changes.. it shouldnt (if im right...lol)
if it does change, it shouldnt be that much..
btw--member with those nutes.. u have to add one kind first all the time, then a certain next one, and so on and so on.. u should know.. its on the chart.. if not done correctly u will get nute lockout.. where ur nutes fight each other and do nothing,...
and yes ph does go up and or down.. depending on ur nutes, water, and other lil things..
umm.. ya bout clones.. u dont have to clone, i was just wondering.. but ur gonna spend alot of money on seeds.. u got what like maybe 10 or 5 seeds, i just figured u might want to clone at least a coulpe time.. in hydro after taking a clone u veg it for 1-2 weeks and then move em into ur flowering room.. for 6-8 weeks.. and done..
goin without clones also, has the chance of it being male..
u clone to determine whether its a girl or a boy..
cuz if u go and just flower both nancy and kitty.. what if they turn out to be males.. or hermies...
without cloning u waste time too.. well not really,
do how u want.. its ur babys.. lol it turned out to be long azz heck neway.. what u know? lol
:holysheep: im going to smoke smor...
hit me back if i forgot sumthing.. i might got a lil off track..
