Could be anything, but some ideas, are liquid karma, overfert, heat, overwater. Botanicare rules, but you gota get the hang of it.

You setup looks very clean man. PROPS.

cool thanks for the props.... urs looks sick... can't tell from the blaring light but are those in cool tubes?

Might be heat, had a problem with heat for a few days before correction. i'll look over the nute formulas to double check overfert. Not sure bout overwatering, the roots take up quite a bit of water but i wait for dry rockwool before i flood again. sucks i gotta do this manually until they eat enough for me to flood everyday

question about flood/drain...... the flood works jus fine but when it starts draining near the end of the drain cycle..... water from the rez starts syphoning back to the controller bucket..... what causes this? how can i stop it? does it have to do with the length of my tubing from controller to rez or vice versa?

Nice grow.

You could easily put a T somewhere in the line and have another tube that goes into your main res; that would stop your siphoning.

If your leaves are curling, its quite possible that your ph is off, specifically its to high. Do your leaves look like their cat claws?

Most people water 3-4 times a day during the light period. What are you watering at?

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention, each 90 degree turn in a vent will reduce your flow by 40%, by the looks of it you have 2 90 degree bends. Assuming your fans are 747 cfm; after one bend 448 cfm, after the second bend 268 cfm... your not using those fans well.

ur right.... i just cut the length of ducting to be able to reach my max lift on the hoods......hard to work with insulated ducting..... i will most likely cut to fit after this harvest, jus gotta make sure how high the girls wanna stand

this is nucking futs, ur on ur way to massive yields!!! jus dont be the newb farmer and OVER-ANYTHING (waterings, nutes, heat, farting in ur grow area etc etc... also, i have noticed a lack of fans for air circulation within the room (oscillating/ standing fans) which is also an essential part of the plants growth cycle. go to wallyworld (wal-mart) and get some $15 fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that schrom...... MmMmMmMm

wassup SBP.... there is an oscillating fan in there, it's jus not in the picture from the angle it was taken. actually there's two fans goin on. i wait til the rockwools are almost dry (pretty light in weight) before i rewater. Nutes are not full strength but i do have gas so i don't know how imma avoid that stuff
