Let these mishaps be a lesson to all who read this journal, as I'm sure this won't be the last screw up I make this grow. I am, to the fullest, a rookie grower learning with every move I make. No variables have been the same with any of my grows, so until I learn the basics I will only continue...
A major lesson has been learned this week. As I mentioned in my last post, a couple of my hydro babies were going limp and we're having problems. What I believe happened was I was using tomato cages in my setup for support, and the metal that was in the res rusted. (This was the second time I've...

I'm my completely unprofessional opinion, you did fine. I've had the same problem...came up with the same solution...it fixed it. Hope it's that simple for you

Is anybody familiar with Blue Planet organic nutes? I've been using that for my last 2 grows and believe I'm capable of producing a higher quality bud. I recently added CALiMAGic on my last grow and I did notice a sizable upgrade in density. I keep seeing the Flora series on every other post or...
I would recommend LED due to you being in a closet. Hps will warm up the room too much unless you have proper ventilation and cooling. I run 2 450w LED and it brings up the temp of my room maybe 5° total, and my electric bill has barely seen a spike. More up front but worth it in the end...
