Did you put the lady bug on the leaf in the second picture? If not, you might have pests that attracted it. GL

I have ladybugs from last round. It wasn't that big of a problem. I plan to purchase forbid 4f miticide. It's illegal in California but I didn't say that. An alternative would be to purchase new batch of ladybugs.

Just started to flowering yesterday.

Im going for a whole P this time, last time I got 13.5.

to answer your question

to answer your question

Last time:
Veg. time was around 1 month
flower time: 7-8 weeks

This time:
Veg. Time: 3 weeks
Flower time: probably going to be the same

I have a couple questions for you guys:
1. Should I leave the air pump (which circulates the water as well) 24/7? Right now it's on for a half hour off for 1 hour and it seems to be working fine.

2. How often should I calibrate my pH meter?

Info

Info

Light cycle:
Veg: 600 Watt on for 14 hours, 60 watt cfl on 24/7
Flower: 12:12

Nutrients:
-GH flora basic (transitional phase 2:2:2)
-Liquid Karma by Botanicare
-little molasses during veg/ beginning flower, more during final weeks of flower
-mycorrhizae stuff, I put a pouch of 3 tablespoons in the res./ bottom.

Ppm: I just bought a ppm meter and have read to maintain 1200.

Temps: I just put my hand in there and if it feels good it is good. :)
My res. nutrient temp never rises over 70

Rh: I'm not sure. Outside it's raining and 80% I'm hoping it's less within the apartment. (I have a 70 pint dehumidifier if thing get dicey)

I always leave my airpump running 24/7, the more oxygen in the water the better but if it's working fine how you are doing it then no dramas.

Going for the full lb hey? Good luck, should be do-able imo, SC is a great strain.

Jimbo :gday:
 
I've noticed some burn. The ppm was at 1300, so now I will run it at 1100 or even 1000.

I washed my phone in the laundry, which was my camera. I put it in the drier and it still doesn't work. I purchased a digital camera and it's "in the mail". I will have pictures soon.

I changed the nutes the other day and also received my new camera in the mail. So here are some updated pictures. I'm maintaining 1100 ppm,as 1300 was too strong.

Nice setup!

The use of the word "megafarm" in the title led me to think that there may be six hundred HPS bulbs, not a single 600w HPS.
