hi im setting up a new grow room. im a legal grower and plant # are very important to me. im looking to go with vertical lighting in a 10 x 10 area with all the trimmings. was thinking about a 4xl or a 6xl for this space on maybe 40" or 30" centers. im going for yield mostly. just thinking what your thoughts are on this.

also im an organic grower and have had excellent results with the botanicare pure blend pro lineup. i dont read about anyone using organic nutes. will this work in your system? thanks.

I am in under current ,Running H&G .I was at 8-900 ppm in veg and now "the claw" look are the symptoms that best describe my current state. I am at 6 wk on a 10-11 wk strain. Currently down to 325 ppm and am about to do a change and run PH'd r/o water for a few days before doing anything. water chilled at 65 ,PH 5.7-6.3
Any suggestions anyone on best way to proceed? Thx for looking

I did that too when I started using the UC. I ditched the HG right away as it only worked well for me during veg in there. I know you can drop one of the parts in flower with better results but I just switched to something more stable. I would only be at 600 PPM or slightly more at start of week 6. Solved the claw right away. 8-900 had me clawing out like crazy. My plants turn out 100% higher quality, denser, and better smelling with the much lower nutrient program.

THANKS UCHQ. Appreciate you being here. Helpful for everyone.

4XXL13, ordered boneless (w/o PVC) so you can space it a 50" centers....run 5X 1000 watt vert.

As for organics....as you likely know, PBP isn't really 100% organic, probably more like 70% organic, 30% chelated synthetic. It is one of the few nutes with organic inputs that is compatible with the UC when nutes and system are operated properly.

thanks for all the input guys. im really looking forward to setting up my new room. i will be sure to put in a grow journal. Im an organic minded person and i want my meds to be organic, as much as can be. i know the pbp isnt 100% organic but close enough. iv been running a sweet mix of the botanicare lineup and hoping it will be just as sweet as my aeroponic setup i have running now. thanks again everyone!

pH fluctuations are usually associated with the nutrient combo you're mixing...what is the recipe? And yes on the pH doser as it can make life easier.

You generally don't need to chill your top off res as it doesn't exchange with the plant roots and as a result doesn't need chilling. Maybe only if you've made a new nute you're planning on changing out into the system within a short time frame.

Even if you do make an ass out of yourself who cares that's how you learn so you can come out swinging the next time... If your ready your ready though...roll it...
