yer both right...After upping the nutes so much I don't really see much difference...I certainly don't notice the plants growing faster but the color green looks a bit better...I think just seeing what the chart says on ph would make the calculation easier but at this point all I really have to do is drop in a touch here and there so even that isn't the big deal...I was just wondering how the plants sucked out an extra 750ppm from the rest of res after only drinking a gallon...probably has something to do with osmotic pressure but when I find something accurate I'll pass it along

Since I only have a 400w hps for flower...I can't imagine I'm gonna get all that much yield...I'm skeptical about 2 z's cured at this point I'd really like to get more but I'm sure experience will increase that in time...

I'm still putting the room together and was planning on forced out venting with a passive intake but if you are sure that's bad I'll make sure to avoid it...I'll hold off on hooking up the vents till I hear some tips...the room is 12x12x(7ish high) I'm gonna split half for the flower and the other half will be seedling/veg I planned to just force vent out the flower room and passively intake through the veg side...for right now the basement is open with 2 fans blowing air around...I have several ideas on circulation and once I'm done getting the walls finished I'll start with the questions hehe...part of the problem is definately temp...it's cold as hell here most of the year so intaking cold air from outside leaves the room below 50 even with the light on :wtf: a bigger light will cure that issue right up I'm sure atleast during the day but the evening will still be a bit of a prob

Eve and Zola definately were pissed off about being dehydrated...most of the leaves lifted themselves back up already but (the top set of each cola were still droopy at light off) I'll check tomorow morning...

I realize so many mistakes from when I first started but improvements are steady...I'm looking into building the rest of the hydro systems...I have enough plumbing experience that the pvc shouldn't be too tough...knowing how to rate the pump pressure at each nozzle might be a bit of a pain but if I keep it symetrical?sp? it should be fine...I'm debating on how involved I want the setup to be...but I know the store bought systems are way to expensive and they all look like the root chambers are on the small side...

My camera does appear to be shot...it started working again for a while but it might just be time to toss...it's sad cause it's got kickass optics guess the last resort is calling HP

I'm almost half way through flower but I'm thinking maybe I should hold off on the koolbloom because the bud is just starting to form...hopefully the plants aren't going to just finish with like 10 baby bud sites instead of growing some more...Does stressing a plant significantly cause it to finish early? I'm hopeful it can't be that bad cause there's nothing really to finish yet ;-)

I'm off to bed for now but as always thanks for keeping me grounded...and I'll try my best not to snap any main colas or electricute myself in a res I'd just cry at this point if I ruined one completely...
