IMFG!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone please take this knife out of my back???:D
Just playing Bear and thanks for the link. As previously stated I am a noob and by no means have any skill.(see my current screwed up grow details)
I am most interested in learning the facts so I was hoping someone could bring out some science or data that would show why close lighting is effective and how light burn is preventable.
I guess I will have to live with "it just is" so that is OK by me if it means solid nugs.
Some time has passed and I am now entertaining the thought that the lights may have only played a very minor role in my burning the girls. I think if anything it just accellerated the process.
Keeping with the theme of not wanting to lead anyone the wrong way I can give you all a bit more info on my situation back here at the ranch... I have had no growth from my plants for 12 coming up on 2 weeks. I finally lifted one of the root balls from its pot and confirmed that I totally fried the roots. Maybe someone can help me confirm what happened but in light of my discovery I am thinking that never flushing the coco and the close to 1500 ppm of solution in week 4was just too much. I was seeing numerous defeciencies and it had my head spinning as how to fix it. Now I think the defeciencies were from the roots not being able transfer the nutrients to the foliage.
After I burned them I flushed and then gave them 1/2 strength solution. I flushed again 4 days later because there was no improvement and lower the nutes to 1/4 strength. The plants are suspended at this stage. The leaves are still drying and curling slowly but they are not drooping so I figure they are transpiring water. I would love to hear from anyone with some insight. I have written this grow off but I really want to learn from it.
Love you all and Like I always say...don't forget to drop those lights down!!

J, your the man bro, love you dog. Well, on to more important things, what brand coco are you using? This can play a big role in coco grow problems, also for the most part it is best to grow with coco spacific nutes. Not all coco is pre flushed and can affect the grow in the long run if not thurowly flushed from the out set.
Did you feed with every watering? You are using an ebb and flow table, it can be tricky recerculating water when using coco, that is why alot of people go run to waist with coco. How often did you flood , more than 2 times per light cycle? Did you use the coco slabs, or fiber in baskets?
PS, I am doing some coco runs right now with GH coco, not pre flushed, but so far so good, but IMO Canna coco and coco A and B nutes are the best.
Most popular at this point are the Advanced Nutrients Monkey Juice http://www.advancednutrients.com/lan...B_landing.html and Kanna's Coco A and B http://www.aquaculture-hydroponics.c...productID=1398.
We can start here and then try to figure some stuff out.

Hey J, perhaps you should start a new thread on this, perhaps in the plant problem section, but it's up to you, if you do, just post a link on this thread to it IMO.

damn bear ,
knocking down huge yields w/o having trees . thanx for the link and turnin us on to another cannabis site . mmmmmmmmm more brain food .
your cuz
crispi
nice link bear
what strain was the biggest plant?
Did he say that he started from seed?
I am going to guess he did start from seed..
cheers
Hey GK, I don't think he started from seed, but then again I can't remember. One thing I do know is that he vegged for 4 weeks and the fatty is Pot of Gold. Here is the thing though, he has this tech that I never herd of and none of the people on his thread had either. He pinched the plant at like the sixth node then again at the 10 or so and then right befor flower when the plant was 19 inches or so he topped back to 12 inches, he said that is what gives him the strait monster multable fat toppers.
I can still hardly believe it.

This is a learning thread I must say. I have only read 8 posts and learned I have to fix my cooling method of my light to glass. Thanks Garden Gnowm for inspiring me to want to grow forearm size colas, and I believe I can grow atleast 1 plant like that under a 400w hps. Right now I am using B.C. Hydro starter kit and I like the results, no burn when applied right. I have 4 plants under 400w and my grow room is 4'(L)x2'(w)x5'(h) and the plants are about 3-1/2ft tall atleast. On this next grow I am starting I think I am gonna seal the grow room better because it is stinking in my spare room.
Hey Garden Knowm, can you tell me if there is anything special or perticular item I would need to grow buds like that? I want some huge buds. Thanx.
HEY bear
I have 2 - 600s in the basement.. I am eager to fire them up.. put them over 4 plants in 5 gallon buckets... top the shit outta them.. ahhehehehhe

I can't blame you at this point. What could you pull if close to his meth with 4, 50 OZ's in 3 months with 4 plants? The dude should right a book if he can do that every run and just put a bunch of fansy terms and pics in it, LOL.
