Hydro White Widow Grow

[latewood]

400 watt HPS is going to be a lot better then a 100 watt metal. Most people use HPS through out the entire grow. I personally have never used MH, ever, but it is supposed to be better I guess.

Sucks on the nute burn, but 1050 is pretty high ppm for their size. Depending on what your water starts as, I would give them around 400ppm of nutes because those little ones wont be able to handle much and they are in the same rez. The larger ones could probably take 600. I give my full growns about 1200ppm of nutes, (leaving me at about 1500ppm), but they are 2.5 feet tall.

funny thing...I am currently doing a complete NYCD and Fantasma 5 gallon bucket grow under 1000w MH agrosun gold, and I am impressed with the results.:smokin: plants are 5-6 feet tall buds are going to be big and longggggggggg

Yea the little ones were doing good at 600 ppm before, the only reason I got the MH was for the Veg since ill be doing flower at the same time, that is if the clones work out and all. I tend to read allot and dive in deep....first grow with aeroponics. Do they look the right size for 3 weeks from seed, I read somewhere that they should be 1-2ft by now. I was using that MV lamp though, they probably would be the right size if I just used the HPS to start.

You are probably right my friend. the MV lamps were not that efficient, even when they were being used, back in the day.

I would like to add...I read up above, someone described aeroponics as different from hydroponics...FYI: aeroponics, DWC , drip, ebb and flow, etc. are all hydroponic methods.
goodluck peace

Plain old DWC is an awfully efficient method to grow bushes/trees. IMO Everytime I try aeroponics (I've tried many designs) the sprinkler system clogs unless you stay all over it.

Just as a matter of discussion Aero is best suited to rooting.
DWC and Drip is probably the most productive...Aero is productive, but requires more stringent monitoring.

ebb and flow is an all around simple method, but I prefer to use e&f for rooting seedlings or cuttings.

later peace

Ok, so I was checking stuff out today and I notice that my timer somehow got set to come for about 1 hour 1 hour after the lights go off, its been like that for a while. It doesn't seem to have effected them much but I would never know what could have been. Whats every ones take on this?

[latewood]

If the timer was set wrong for only one hour a night...then no problem, besides the problem would've already happened. I run mine 15 minutes every hour during the dark photoperiod. I'm always afraid of them getting dry...

[HighSeekerz]

I think he is referring to the light timer...

[Cyclonite]

Yes...im talking about the lights. It seems ok though...no damage noticed.

[HighSeekerz]

My understanding through previous research, etc... is that by the light coming on at the additional time, it stresses the plant because it is not similar to its natural environment. This could cause a female to hermie due to stress.

I personally think it would just POSSIBLY slow flowering temporarily. And give you a little more Veg growth... Nutes, PH, and those other real stresses are what I would think would make a plant hermie.

Take my input as just someone looking over your shoulder. I am a novice at best! LOL!!!

Kiss them and make up. I'm sure they will still love you

So I took a sample last night....needs a couple more weeks but nice. Heres some new eye candy.
