Thats right. Leaves act as (among other things) storage centers for nutrients. The reasons leaves die off and turn colors is because IT IS BEING STARVED. Just do t give them an excessive amount of nutes and youll be ok. SCIENCE!
Stay away from lucas formula. Lucas cuts corners. Follow the AN feed charts but cut it in half
As long as none of the branches get crushed or pinched against the wood youll be fine.. those clips youre using to hold the panda film down, you could out more of them around the outer edge and tie to them. Or do what most of us do and drill holes along the top edge of the table/buckets
Right on. I think i will put them in later. It won't affect the light the plants get will it? From the reflection the plants get up from the bottom bouncing off the panda film? I am going to put it on all sides of my plants.
Lights come on in 2 hours. I'm gonna do it then. I'll take pics. My tent seems to be making its own humidity. I have had that humidifier going for about a month in my tent. Some days if i even thought about shutting it off the rh would drop. I have had it shut off for about 8 hours now and the sensors keep turning the fans on and off. So thats a good thing i guess. For now. Till its not. Lol. In flower
Thats an excellent idea. That ac tent is cool but i need at least 2 4x8 tents just for my personal hydro. 12 5gallon ebb/flow buckets in each tent. 1 for veg and 1 for flower. As soon as i harvest i can just lift the inner buckets out of the veg tent and drop them into my flower tent. Clean up the buckets that were just harvested, pop clones into them and drop them into the veg tent. Continuous cycle. 4 pounds of mind blowing hydro every 12 weeks.
running a perpetual is a lot of work though. I need a constant supply so for me this is better than 8 pounds 2x a year. Instead, in perpetual i collect 4 pounds 4x a year but with indicas i can get 5 cycles a year if they flower fast. Also i cant remember, are you growing autos or not? Autos will flower beautifully under 24hrs of light so i wouldnt worry because autos are not photoperiod dependant. They dont really care if the light is on or off they still do their thing, unless they dont get enough light. Personally i have never grown autos and i dont want to say that i never will grow autos, but yeah....... anyways, good idea about the tent. Looking forward to some pics
I keep trying to talk the wife into ebb and flow buckets. I could don6 of those probably. But i think my idea of just raising the whole tent is perfect. I measured for sure and i have 16 more inches till the ceiling. My res is 13 inches. And i will give myself a couple inches so i can get the cover off if i need to. So the tops of my 6 inch rockwool blocks will pretty much be 6 inches off the floor of my tent. Which gives me 50-60 inches of grow height.Thats an excellent idea.

If you like the pond idea look into aquaponics. I have a buddy that turned his swimming pool into a fish tank that feeds his hydro plants and the waste from the system feeds the fishes that in turn feed the plants. Its kinda neat. But yeah starting with soil is the way to go. thats awesone going off the grid. Youve got the right idea. Speaking of which, if you come into A LOT of money, a new rayonled 720 UV would be an excellent way to show your appreciation to a fellow grower that tries to help..... just saying
thays awesome though man, my mind is soinning with all the possibilites you have for growing in a situation like that... kinda jealous LOL. 
Lol. I got you! ✉If you like the pond idea look into aquaponics.

I would highly recommend growing soil for a year before doing anything else, to give you a feel for what the plants want, how they respond, ect... in soil, the soil acts as a buffer, so you have a much wider tolerance for screw ups.Lol. I got you! ✉
I have heard about that aquaponics thing. A guy i read about has an underground drainage tank and uses his left over nutes water to water his lawn.
) or it can be a bad thing if you are inexperienced with hydro as you can poison the plants with nutes before they even show toxicities. Liquid nutes are absorbed much faster and dont need to be broken down to be used.
