thats some thing i have never tried so i don't know it for sure, BUT i imagine the buds will be more leafy at least, but you might want to read up in the lighting section. certainly not ideal to have no hps for flowering.

Ok for the sake of saving my clones.....

Their just starting roots bout a 1/4 long.
Their leaves are starting to turn yellow between the veins.

This didn't happen (Perfectly Healthy) until I relocated them to an aeroponics chamber.

Second problem, I have had issues with the PH level staying stabilized. It keeps going alkaline.
I use a combination of Pro PH up/Ph Down, along with aple cider vinegar (PH down) and Baking soda (Ph up).
Their is no air rocks or warming equipment in the solution.
I can set the PH at 5.5-5.8 and within 2-3hrs It will Ph at 6.0-6.5. Once it hit as high as 6.8.

"How do I control or stop this???"


My clones are not liking the ph jumps. An second I would like to be able to get some sleep or go to work and not have my Plants dead when I get home
Oh yeah the rez is filled with a combo of:
Hormex
Hygrozyme
Superthrive
Olivias Cloning solution .06-.13-.07
Bio Weed .2-0-.3 (General Organics)
Bio Marine 2-3-1 (General Organics)
Diamond Nectar (Fulvic Acid) 0-1-1 (General Organics)
Diamond Black (Humic Acid) 0-0-1 (General Organics)

General organics is only mixed at roughly 1/5 to 1/3 bottled based ratio.
So a mix of 2.26-4.13-3.37 at 20-30% of what is suggested is not enough to burn a clone..I think.
