So as the roots become longer, the level of the flood is reduced accordingly?

Are you saying that during the 12/12 flowering stage you do not do the "every 4 hour flood"? You only do the flood when the lights are on and perhaps once over night to prevent dry-out.

Thank you, I appreciate your words of encouragement. I started a journal so I can track my daily progress. It's become a bit of a challenge and with all the help I am getting from this 420 blog I think I will make it. The support I am getting is great. Even if I have to start another grow...

Many Baby Boomers (the youths of the 60's era) start smoking marijuana again when they retire; when they don't have the fear of losing their jobs. I believe marijuana will eventually become legal but perhaps not in our lifetime GangaKing. Marijuana, just as alcohol does, affects people...

It blows my mind when I think of all the different combinations of lights, nutrients, water, etc .... that a person can expose the girls to. The different combos increase exponentially

Gives me a lot to think about.

Will do. Thank you again

Ok, thanks again.

I am using a hydro system. I'll see if I can find some calcium/magnesium at my local Lowe's. Thank you for the info. I appreciate all of the help I can get.

Bottled water has a ppm of 0 also. So if I use water that starts at 0 ppm I need to add additional cal/mag above what I get with my supplemental fertilizer? Is cal/mag something I can buy as individual components? Is so, how would I know when I have the correct mixture? Perhaps to reduce cost...

1st time grower and my water is hard. How does that affect cannabis? I've read conflicting information. Use tap water, don't use tap water. Bottled water gets expensive at 5 gallons at a time. My tap water reads 525 ppm

I just adjusted my pH. It sure doesn't take much of the pH down to lower it. Took a little play but I got it adjusted down. I'm going to let the water circulate and then test it again. This is all a learning experience for me, that’s for sure. I’ll have to get a water thermometer to get...

I'll lower my pH. Also I was doing 24/0 with my lights. It was suggested to go to 20/4 for the lights which I started last night. Is that right? My plants are about 3 weeks from seeds. I also opened my cabinet door slightly open so I can keep the cabinet temp lower. Right now my temp is...
