I just started flower yesterday and switched to my 600 watt HPS bulb and am running it on 100 percent, is that fine or should i turn the ballast down to 75 or 50? Note that lights are about 2 feet away from the tops of my plants which are pretty big now. So question about my nutes. I will be...

Im growing hydoponically in an oxyponics pro 6. I have a 50 gallon rez and im using phosphoric ph down. I have a 3 in 1 ph ppm water temp meter but im pretty sure the ph wasn't calibrated right so I also have the strips as backup.

No Ive added a bunch to the rez and still no change. The only thing I can do now is get a really good RO filter, does anybody have any suggestions on some good ones? Also my plants are in weef 5 of veg, healthy but not growing anywhere near where they should be at I am assuming because they...

My grow is 4 weeks into veg today. I started with some issues, but was able to fix almost all of them. The one, which happens to be the most important, is my PH. I have a new meter plus the strips for backup. My tap water is about 7.5-8 PH, and when I put it in a cup and add ph down it goes to...

I bought API PH 7 and a PH test kit today, going to match up the ph in a little bit, anyone have any advice for me about the light and new seeds?

I am going to clean the system as best I can my next rez change in a few days, also since 2 of my plants have already died I am switching them out with 2 seeds I just ordered there going to be at least 2 weeks behind so they will flower for longer than they veg but im assuming that will just get...

My PH is at 8 right now!! My PPM at about 180 I added nutes a couple days ago and it was at like 350 but its gone down since, is that good or bad? I meant a 600 watt MH for veg my bad!! :peace: But I soaked the rockwool in a ph of about 6.4ish it was the best I could do at the time I hope this...

Hey everybody I know I am a newb with a lot of questions and it might be annoying. I do plenty of research all day, in fact its all I do, but at the end of the day I might have learned a few things but it doesn't come close to answers I can get from you relating specifically to what is going on...
