First Grow 4x4 Hid System.

I think that's what happened to my post, first couple of bongs after I got in from work.

I started the new grow at the bottom of page 14 if you wanted to skip ahead.

Done! What kind of material do you all use for the scrog's net? I bought some mason line but I dont think I like it.

Idk how to feel about my fans... like if my second fan cant push enough air and pressure builds up between fans? I like my hood I dont want it to blow up lol

 

[FrenchOG]

Holy shit I've been moving my res and air pump around for a while but tonight I chose an official spot! I cut 8ft total off my 4 air lines. It's so much more efficient now!

Looks good. You may need to play with the speed of the second fan to find the happy spot. But the entire system should flow better now.

If the first fan is pushing in the same direction as the second, the second fan near your outlet should work better than the first fan, as it has done half of the work for it, so all should be well.

I made my net out of PVC, eye screws, and this stuff from Home Depot.

Not sure if it’s the same stuff you got, but it is mason line. I got it because it’s rot proof, resists oil, gasoline and most chemicals. Plus, you get a whole bunch of it for like $3. So it’s cheap enough that when I harvest, I just cut the twine. Then a quick restring through the eye screws and I’m back in business.

Zinc deficiency??? Ph too low??? New growth looks yellow and ill. Seems to me growth rate has slowed down, too.

I recalibrated my pH meter but this shit keeps happening : I'll adjust the pH to 6.3, come back hours later and it says 7.0... my water is getting oxygen, its uncovered most of the time...

Looks like your light is too close. What is the distance to the canopy?

22 inches from top of canopy. My low and high temps are 67-83 which I think is optimal even though the room always seems cold, I know ths lights keep the plants warmer. My ballast has been dialed on 1000w for a while, never got it closer than 18in from canopy.

Well, 22” for a 1000w should be fine. Hmmm, the bubbling will raise ph a little bit. But I don’t think it would be that much.

IDK man, the slower and miniaturized growth leads me to think the light is the issue. Does the back of your hand get warm at canopy level?

New growth will be slightly yellow as it pushes out.

I'll take the light up to 24-26 inches away tonight, we'll see what happens. I hope it's not a root problem! I transplanted early both times, that wasn't the greatest idea..

Yeah, new bulbs put out more light than you would expect. Up a few inches is perfect as you don’t want them to start getting stretchy. But if they respond well within the next 2 days you’ll know that’s what it is.

Yeah, my plants are bushy af so even a little stretch wont hurt them lol, rather that than light burn!

Hey thank you all, especially @Enforcer for your input, it's really cool of you guys to help me out!

No problem bro. We’re all here to help.

Growing alonce nicely.

It really was the light burning them, I moved the fixture to 30in away and they're just doing so much better now!

I’m glad you got it sorted. Nice work farmer!

I think today is the day we drop the scrog on the suckers! They've grown stronger and healthier than never before. Id like to think the smaller the scrog the smaller the trip for nutrients from root to leaf.
