I did a pseudo flush by running the system until my return water was a solid 5.8 pH and the water in the tank was at 5.8 - 5.9. I ran all the solution out of the buckets by diluting the tank with freshwater for a couple of hours to make sure what I was putting in was going to be "Fresh" to the...

I posted it for anyone to use if they wanted! So by all means. :-) I was also told that seeing these little hairs is the "beginning" of my flowering phase. I'm outdoor in a greenhouse so I'm just trying to match up my nutes with the sun.

Just a closeup of one of the leaves, I thought maybe you could use if you need to somewhere.

I took a few closeups with the Macro lens goofing around. I am pretty sure this is a female, use wherever you think it's good to use if you want!

After beating myself up on this for most of the evening, I decided to try a few things out, and this could be what is causing all of my problems (Aside from the heat stress). I had calibrated my pH meters a while back and knew spot on everything was good to go. The strange thing is... Both of...

I had read that the Dutch Bucket system was considered a NFT system, that very well could be my misunderstanding. the system is a top flood and drain as you called it, but there is about 1 - 1.5 inches of residual water/nutrient solution that doesn't drain out of the bucket and wicks up through...

I saw this thread http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58339 and I was also looking at the pH charts for optimum and came up with the following. I am assuming that for the flowering cycle (which should be almost now) it appears that the nutrients that are used will drop the...

I have an 18 bucket Dutch Bucket (bato bucket) system with a 30 Gallon reservoir (thought I was going to do 12 originally @ 2.5g per plant). What are your thoughts on the dutch bucket system? I chose it because it's simplicity and low cost to set up. My medium is the coarse size 4 Perlite. I...

Certainly trying my hardest to keep the temps down. I open the screened windows during the daytime, and hope for the best. I know now that next year I will be pushing for 4 to 5 times the airflow to keep the temps down, but i am hoping that this will work for me this year. The plants are...

I have recently jumped into the world of growing and I have started coming into some issues. (I do have pictures I will post links to down toward the bottom in an edit) I have poured through pictures, descriptions, forums, manuals, etc. I have been able to piece some general information...
