What color(s) bulbs do you have?

Love the UFOs. I also have 2 although I think 1 would have been plenty for my small grow. Prices seem to be all over the place. I got mine for about $175 each. Seen prices all the way up to about $550!

Well, I've taken my own suggestion. Looking more carefully at the jungle, it was clear that 2 plants are quite large and the other 3 are much smaller. I removed the 3 stunted plants, leaving the two big ones, which by the way, appear to be developing females. My concern now is whether the...

Folks, something seems not to be going well. For some reason, my pH keeps plunging. I check daily and it seems that in spite of adjusting to 6.0, the next day the pH is about 4.4 needing to be adjusted up, repeating the cycle daily. I don't know why this happens. My best guess is that I...

Well, I decided to do the res change, just to play it safe. I emptied the tub, filled it with plain water and emptied that, just to sort of rinse the tub clean, and then refilled with properly nuted, pH adjusted water. Since the nutes seem to concentrate, I left it slightly lower than before...

Sort of, but not really. I did a res change on Sunday with the proper chemistry. When I checked on Tuesday, my pH was down from 6.0 to about 4.4 and my PPM had gone up about 200. Not a big deal with the PPM, but the pH drop is bad news. I added "pH UP" to bring it back to 6.0 and when I...

Fink Stinger, it's good to see you coming up for air, homes. I'm still in limbo with the grow. Stalks are strong, but leaves show a lot of battle fatigue. Checking pH at least daily, and we'll see if things recover. And if they do, if I haven't stressed too many of the girls to boyhood. To...

Forgive me brothers, for I have sinned. SG, our recent exchange has opened my eyes to a rookie blunder so egregious, I feel like I should be pilloried in the virtual public square of our 420 village. Now I understand why things have been going a little cockeyed with my grow, why flowering is...

Hey SG, did you ever see that Seinfeld episode where Elaine was bitten by a dog and when she looks into the symptoms of Rabies, she starts frothing at the mouth and is convinced she's rabid? Well, your link has me convinced that I have every known deficiency (of minerals and elements...

ph is supposed to be right at 5.5 and 6, which is where I have kept it. I'll look at your link, butdo you think I'm too acidic?

about 5.5

Not sure what you mean SG. Some of the leaves have some browing, which I attributed to being too close to the lights. I've been using Advanced Nutrients products, which are supposed to be premium products. I modified my set up today. Took the floor out of the tent and stood the frame on...

OK guys. I've been on 12/12 with plants in a tent for lighter lights and darker darks. I've been nourishing the crop with Connoisseur bloom nutes and it's been over 2 weeks. My plants are up to the lights, which won't go higher (in the tent, at least) and still no indications of a flower bud...
