Hi DB. Thanks for stopping in. My tent is a white-ebay special. I've had several people warn me but I have not seen any ill effects yet. All the problems that you see from seedling on up are explainable by my mistakes. IMHO if you have adequate ventilation a small amount of offgassing (if it is indeed even occurring with my 400W) should not hurt anything
Wild - Yep they are stretching like a mofo right now. They have slowed down in the last couple days so they should stop in about another week or so. Cheers!

Day 13
14 1/2" plants
Light 8-10" from tallest
1075PPM - tomorrow will be 4 days. Need to addback water + nutes soon. THe fact that my PPM is not climbing means that my plants are eating at the level I am feeding.
Watered moms. Still no signs that they need fed.
1-1/2 inches today on the clones. Plants are reaching 3x their original size when I flipped the switch so they should be about done stretching. I hope.

Hey man just want to say thanks for all the pics. They are impressive & motivational all at the same time. I love your makeshift flood table & the way you are itemizing everything. Big help for newbs like myself.
Happy Growing my friend

thats why i was wondering because i bought the same one off ebay. i thot in the beginning it was overwatering and i did give nutes a little too early, so i had thot it was because of me but the more and more i read about it i realized it was offgass. your plants look great now and if there isnt anymore deficiencey then i wouldnt worry. i took mine out after two weeks becuase i couldnt afford for mine to die and put them in a closet. the main reason why i did this is if you read the offgass sticky it says one of the biggest reasons was because of the pvc they made the tents out of. i went online to ebay and check the tent i bought and the whole thing is made of pvc lining. i was only running a 216 t5 in there at the time. but from seeing your pictures early on and comparing them to my own and other peoples the leaves look the same. it starts at the bottom and moves its way up, and doesnt effect the top growing nodes. after i left the tent and put them in the closet i didnt have ONE single leaf die of discoloration. i would love to use my tent again with a 400w but im spooked as i buy feminized seeds and cant afford to lose them. i cant wait to see how ur stuff comes out! good luck
wow we are at about the same day of flower, i am at 15 i think since 12/12 and its great to see the difference between my t5s and ur 400w.
my buds are still small but have alot of trich already, maybe because my kevlin signature is almost 5000* which is similar to natural sunlight.
day 13 or 14
ill be staying to watch your grow. cant wait to see how 340w t5s match up to your 400w in the end.

Day 17
22" plants. Approaching 4X clone height.
Addback 2 gallon @ 1100PPM
30ml H2O2 35%
***Supplies:
Hydroton - $20
Qt FloraNovaBloom (not out yet but I was there) - $27
GH PH test kit - $6
6"x4" reducer - $12
Qt H2O2 35% - $13
ducting clamps x4 - $10
**Still to get (optional)
PH meter (getting tired of the reagent kits)
Thermostat for the fan to shutoff at low temps
Just about done spending $$ on this thing
I filled in the rest of the area around my pots with hydroton so I get no air pruned roots. Add H2O2 today. I was happy to find some at the dro store. It has been is short supply due to vendor issues. My exhaust is now nice and secure with proper clamps and a reducer. It was being held together with zip ties.
More pics coming soon. Need to recharge camera battery.
