same here for the most part man.. i rarely check my soil PH because my plants don't stay in the same dirt for that long and i'm really careful as to the PPM & PH of what goes into it.

that whole discussion started by someone suggesting to feed a yellowing plant nitrogen by looking solely at a picture and having no other info on the PH or anything else. The consensus usually says to check your soil PH before just adding nutes.

Personally even though i know the PPM and PH of my solution.. if i notice any issues with my plants i still check the soil PH just to be sure that it's inline before i try to add nutes to correct it. Call me a freak but that's what i was taught to do.

no idea man, ive always been taught to keep ph and pm in check before you even give t to the plant, its just small shit you can do to avoid big problems

some pics of what's going on.


veg area one of these days i'll tape some mylar to that brown curtain lol.. I have a roll in my basement, but just lazy. My t-5's will be in tomorrow (HTG supply FTW!) so this is the last day for the 400 MH.



G13 x NL/widow @ 2 weeks from sprout



My last 2 island sweet skunk seeds



NYC Diesel and 2 clones from the retarded looking gf x bb mom my 1st run with rapid rooters i like the way they "grip" the stem they feel real secure in there



Flowering plants

LOL @ this thing.. Power Plant at week 16 i think.. it's gotten fat and is flopping over, but still new hairs and clear trichs... i may just make some hash out of it. it's the last stunted plant left from the old hydro hut



NYC Diesel week 1 flower.. this one should produce much better than the last one. It's been vegged a couple weeks longer.



Power Plant that'll be used to pollinate a few sour diesel buds



Sour diesel @ day 14 flower.. she's kicking ass imo and is developing just like her mom which developed really fast and finished in 60 days on the dot. I think the yellowing on the top is from light bleaching.. ive been keeping the hPS pretty close. The leaves around the outer branches are much darker green, so i'm not gonna stress over it. She's drinking about 3-4 gallons every 3 days. I haven't given her any nutes yet.. just some hygrozyme, LK and B'cuzz bloom 0-0-0.7. I'll give it a solid feeding on friday i think.

they're tied to the plastic egg crate that the plant sits on.. some are tied to wooden stakes in the pot, and a couple are being weighed down by a dog chain hook lol. (u can kinda see it in the 1st pic towards the bottom right)

thanx dude.

[doob3r]

yo august,

i got a question for ya lol

this is what i have cooling my 400 watt fixture i finaly found where it came from, the last place i would have thought to look, the hydro store it came from lol

http://www.atlantishydroponics.com/M...ategory_Code=F

would that baby cool a 600 watt system ok? also the last pics i posted in my update, the ones of my hood where u can see up inside of it, reckon a 600 watter would fit in there ok? or should i just go all out and get a whole new 600 watt system and nice inline fans like you guys have,

i figured it would be cool to veg with the 400 watt annd just change the bulb to the 600 and stick in the base from the 600 watt ballast for flower

[AugustWest]

doob.. i donno if that fan could handle the heat or not tbh.. ive only used inline fans and they work great imo.
