I definitely understand how ppm is effected now. I am in the 300's, ph is 5.6. Using a cheap at hose filter, not a long term solution by any means. Utilizing B1 thrive less than 1/2 tsp with 1 litre water. Soaked for maybe 10 mins, then dumped it. Now they are in the filter water. Ppm is 190 and ph balanced this as well at 5.6. All sites are showing positive vegetation. They are in my tent but I only have one 600 mh on right now, its height away from ground is maxed, and the baby girls are in a distant corner from that side of the tent (dont want to burn). Maybe a few more days and I can update you with my day to day pics, right now you aren't missing much.

Also I must say due to the pump/control box issue, I held on to my seeds into germination process up to yesterday. I took my seedling sprouts and planted them into the veg tray yesterday at 5pm. As of right now 4 of the 16 have shot up and have shedded the seed shell and are starting there first leaves. I feel like it happened so quickly. If the baby girls keep it up I see transplanting soon, to the buckets. Depends on how well this rooting gets going.

sorry for the poor quality of pictures this device doesn't have a premium camera.

I don't know if you've grown Flo before but IME she is a prolific plant and can surprise you with it's growth rates. I guess the sativa side has a lot to do with how fast it jumps but it flowers pretty fast and if height is an issue you might want to top them a lot or LST them as mine really stretched after the flip. I grew from cuts tho and might have been the pheno but I think they're fairly stable so I would keep that in mind. I plan on running some Flo OG soon. Best, Irie.

Thanks for the input. I will scrog and probably end super cropping. I have a few things I'm going to try out to keep a low and even canopy.

So I'm going to hook up the new pump and controller bucket. Also an update of today's growth since my pictures earlier today. I'm still using filtered water ppm is about 190 holding ph at 5.6. I decided to turn on another 600mh. I will leave these little ladies alone for the evening. In the meantime I have some equipment to set up.

Thanks my friend's. Hope you are enjoying.

I opened up the box my replacement kit came in and they sent everything but the controller bucket and pumps lol. SOML! Well the company said just to return the replacement kit (they paid for the shipping), and they are going to give me 100% refund. So I basically just got a huge freebie today.

superskunk4u · Mar 16, 2016

but that leaves you with no kit whats you going to do there

I'd order two pumps from Amazon for under $20 each and find a controller online and McGuyver it. Possibly a big enough bucket to mount said controller to that will run all the buckets you have down the road so you can expand and just leave it outside of the tent. Just my .02. Best, Irie.

You can always grab another tent later and use one kit for veg and one for flower, so I'd just get two control buckets separately since you're getting your money back anyway. You can buy them fairly cheap online by themselves. You got this, don't even sweat it 'cuz despite the headache you're making out like a bandit.

Oh I have no complaints. I have a 55g res. 12sites and all the plumbing a decent amount of nutes and goodies for free. I need a controller and some pumps. No sweat. I just saved a bank load today. I see a good water filtration system and c02 in my near future. I can't complain when I get money back to buy more goodies.:woot: yay

Sometimes you have to appreciate when others make mistakes. In this instance I'm very appreciative.

So I got a hell of a deal today. I got 2 controller buckets, and 4 submersible pumps, approximately $200 local nursery garden center. Wouldn't be a lie if I said they are stand up people there. I then went forward placing a few orders from the original company I ordered my 12 site system through. I ordered the following, a 20lbs C02 tank, regulator and 5 stage water filtration system, I got an awesome deal on this too, $150 approximately. I basically leveraged the fact I want to continue business however it's been rather inconvenient. The company then gave me $20 off my shipping, and gave me a $100 discount off my order. I would say aside from the complications this is definitely turning out to be more and more in my favor. Not having my 12 site system up and running really isn't an issue, after all I'm still getting these little ladies to finish sprouting up. So I have time to spare. In general the 12 site system was approximately $500, I get to keep the 12 site system, and get my $500 back. So right now I basically have $0 invested in that portion. If you total up my purchases today I am now invested $350 approximately. I have a lot to show for $350, 12 site flood and drain system, 2 controller buckets, 4 pumps, 5 stage water filtration system, 20lbs C02 tank, regulator.

I know I said 5 stage system but I need to correct that, it's a 6 stage filtration system.
