I grew these in a scrog with the cheap Chinese cree cobs and I did a terrible job with everything else.

I get that but remember you're on a budget! If you change your mind let me know. I'll go get the info on my metal parts a little later for you.

I have four fixtures with two cree cobs in them each. They're rated at 400w but that's bullshit HPS equivalent crap. So all together they pull 800w at the wall which is a nice amount for your space.

Another good thing about them running st such low watts is, it increases life span.

Should I just cut this fan leaf off or would that just shock her?

I would never say that because its s personal decision and I don't know enough. Looks like overwatering to me which is easy to do in hydro.

As close to the stem as you can. Use scissors or sharp knife that has been sterilized.

It's crazy how careful people are with a plant that's supposed to be sturdy. I'm not aware of any gardeners that sterilize the equipment. I get that as clean as possible is best but sterile.

I meant just to clean with alcohol. Never hurt to take a precaution.

I get it but it still amazes me how delicate we are supposed to be with these things.

So I made some changes again. I decided to put it my girl in a 5 gallon instead of my 20gal tote so my airstones can be more efficient. I also took out my shitty LED and replaced it with a cob 3000. Much more room for activities.

I'd skip dwc without a chiller. before the light upgrade, you said when it gets hot you will throw something frozen in indicating you were already seeing temps too high for dwc or you're confident in your reliability on consistently replacing frozen water every few hours for months which really isn't worth the hassle. that air pump running nonstop along with a top drip pump in the res running non stop your bound to be chained to the house replacing water bottles I'd think.

Same conclusion I came to recently because I was doing nothing but refreezing water containers and running frozen ones out to the reservoirs. Somehow I ground out the money and now I have two chillers, one for veg and one for flower. I think it was worth it....
