    So What If The Plants Do Stretch To The Light?

    I think it's inevitable. We flipped to late and my buddy is sucking on keeping all the numbers dialed in. SO what now? Got Girl scout cookies in DWC and looking to be bumping up against air cooled 1000 watt HPS lights. Got about 6 more inches to go.

    My Buddy Dumped All Nutes Into Rez Without Taking Time To Let Mix

    ppm's were 650 when they should've been 550 in a 40 gallon reservoir. Should I have him empty and redo the whole thing or can it be salvaged by diluting? My concern is he didn't take time to put nutrients in. He added EACH to a half gallon of RO water and then dumped it in.

    Where To Place Intake And Exhaust Fan?

    I've got a 10x10 tent with four 8" XXXL air cooled lights. I have two rows of two lights connected to ducting. Outside the tent, the exhaust ducting goes another 10 feet to the window of the garage. On the other side, the intake ducting goes another 3 feet outside the tent to the window of the...

    Heat Stress, But Maybe Humidity Or Ventillation Issue Or Overwatering??

    Leaves exhibited "taco" leaves which is a sign of heat stress that we got when we went to 1000 watts (metal halide). We found when we reduced tent heat from 80 to 75 it helped a lot, BUT leaves are drooping, stems are high so we figured over watering, but water level is fine - 1/2" below bottom...

    Understanding Ppm's In The Uc System

    So week 1, after feeding 1st time, was 100ppm's (500 scale), then I effed up the pH down/up on day 4 and by the time pH was balanced ppm's went up to 130. They pretty much stayed at that till today (beginning of week 2). Well, I guess technically the ppm's were rising since when they drank, the...

    Day 5: "taco" Leaves And Half-chopped Leaves

    GSC in day 5 of Veg. Numbers are pretty dialed in now, but had a few F ups. Added 50ml of GH pH DOWN since the a-holes recommend 1-2ml/gal and I have a 100 gal system. Dropped the pH from 7 to 4. AHHHHHH. So I ended up adding 45ml of pH up to get back to 6.4, but took 1.5 hrs. when they shoulda...

    For Uc Nutes, Do I Add System Gallons + Rez Gallons To Get Xml/gal?

    I'm trying to figure out how to mix my top-off Rez for week 2. System is 100 Gallons. I plan to only mix my next week nutes in 20 gallons in the top-off reservoir (i'm guessing that's the max they'd drink at week 2). So am I calculating the nute schedule based on 100+20=120 gallons? So for...

    Water Chiller Won't Stop Chilling!!! Reads 104f But Water Is 55f

    WTF!? I have an old-school eco Plus 1/2HP chiller (metal, no filters). Connected it yesterday after being stored for a few yrs. Attached to system and she fired up w/ no problem. Water temp was 72. Set the chiller at 70 on "cool". This morning the red digital display reads 104. I unplugged and...

    Rockwool Cube At Bottom Of Net Pot? Mine Is 2 1/2" Above Net Pot

    Hi, sorry if elementary q, but can't remember. My water level was 2" above net pot so I stacked 2 and a half inches of rockwool at bottom of net pot and then dropped my rockwool cube in. Now I'm thinking maybe the roots can't grow down through all the hydroton??? I should mention the net pots...

    Day 1- Sixteen Gsc's In 8 Gal. Modules Under 4k Watts

    Got em under a metal halide dimmable ballast (400W) 38" off the tops of leaves. Not sure if the black rimmed net pots are really better at keeping out light, but I may switch net pots cuz these are lattice all the way up. Some of the clones i'm a bit disappointed in, they're well rooted and...

    Best Strain For The Uc?

    Looking for a high-yield BUT relatively easy clone to start with as this will be my first run again after several years. I've grown Blue Dream before and had success. Considering Girl Scout Cookies, also Gorilla Glue #4 (but does it stretch too much for a 10x10 tent?) and Dosi Dos (Not sure this...

    Can't Tell Which Chiller Port Intakes Water??

    Would I F up my system if I hook up my water pump to the chiller wrong? I know where the water comes OUT from my water pump, but I don't know which port on my stupid chiller is an intake and which is the outflow. It's an OLD school METAL 1/2 HP ECO PLUS chiller. I'll attach a link if it works to...

    Need The Blue Bucket (current Culture) Epicenter!!

    So I set up my old system and the freaking epicenter leaks. Does anyone have the old current culture blue bucket that they don't use anymore? I can pay $100 if you got a new one.

    Epicenter Outside Tent?

    My A/C (R2D2) unit is towards the back of the tent and the last row of buckets are in line with it- so my concern is those row of plants will always be hot, BUT if I move the epicenter out of the tent all the buckets will be in front of A/C unit (the inhale/exhale kind). Other than that, more...

    Gotta Make A Decision Today- Chiller Inside Grow Room?

    I've got a tent in a garage and I'm contimplating putting the chiller in the garage. Chiller is 1/2HP. I'm concerned it'll throw too much heat. But plumbing outside garage is a b*&tch. Any experiences with this?

    Pipe Configuration?

    I have the old UC system w/ blue buckets. The pipes that fit into the buckets are cut at right angles and I can't remember how to orient them. Is it staggered or do they all face the same direction? I can't find the old assembly video either. Any help would be appreciated. Thx,

    Do Your Nutes Make Your Ph Go Down Or Up?

    To me, it makes good sense to pH down or up FIRST to get the right environment to then add your nutrients. I believe that would maximize nutrient uptake. But I can't remember if nutes decrease pH or not so maybe this is why most people blast their feed with acid/base after adding nutes.

    1/4 Nute Strength For Additives Too?

    Hi, I've been told to run nutes at 1/4 the recommended strength (Dutch Master) in the undercurrent system. But what about the additives? Specifically Silica and Add 27? Any input would be appreciated. I've heard to run Zone at full recommendation (1ml/gal). Scott
