Hey thanks krim, nate, spud, much appreciated..

Hey Dawg, when you run that machine did you have the pump on a cycle timer??? And how long did you veg em??? I'll take any hints you have. I don't veg these any longer than 3 wks. I had a problem once where the roots mad a dam and they looked like plants that got over watered.. I put on a cycle time 1 on and 5 off. Now I use that till the last 3-4 weeks and then go to timer I and set and let it drain longer.. Thanks for the input.

Here's a pic of the replacements for the replacements!!!

nutogrow, the times you stated are pretty much the same I did. Root blockage is indeed an issue with those systems. I used to start out with 60 but as the males weeded out, I could skip every other hole and give em more room. I just covered the hole so that they did not allow light into the root zone. I reccomend tht you place extra filtering on the pump, be careful though as it will swallow stuff. I found that the mor filterage I had, the less clogging problems insued.

Here's a group picture of the girls at the spa getting ready for they're haircut yesterday. And krimzon, it's not the camera, it's the operator.. Thank you Dawg. I do have it filtered well. Beings I do clones I don't have to cull males.. I did run it for a while staggering the plants. and I split that machine once too. You know that's where 3 tubes go one way and 3 the other.. The last couple of go rounds is the first I've really run it full . I'm shavin' the legs up higher every round. but I'm really likin the yield with what's goin on using this method.. If you or anybody has suggestions I will certainly listen..

Better not throw them away!

Awesome work for one old guy

I know I hate it when I have more plants than I know I can sustain and therefore have to execute some. It sucks, but is a norm of growing. I just killed off 8 males yesterday but I am doing a seed grow. Ones like these hurt, but do what you must my friend.

Ok, hydro boys.. Riddle me this.. I Here is what I been seein in the aero the last 2 grows...

Between 3-5 plants at the end of the tubes(furthest away from the rez and pump are showing a zinc def. Why whould this be.. Zinc def is usually due to high ph correct??? I doo let my ph range a bit between 5.3 and 6.0 but I don't let it sit up there to long..

Now I'm not gonna compromise 56 plants to save 4 but just curious. Anybody have any ideas??? I don't know shit when it comes to plant science.

And on the plus side although they do dwarf and are no yeikdin lil boogers. They produce more sugar coating than anything I have ever produced. Ok educate this dumb ole caveman!!!!

Well isn't this interesting...

Deficiency: Leaf tissue between the veins is lighter in color; yellowed; papery in appearance.

Does this sound like what is happening?
This happens to me also. 2 plants, furthest from the res.
I use a chelator and flush and it fixes it. I do it a couple times.

Why this happens? I have no friggin idea. What is happening to the nutrients as they are being pumped up to the further plants that isn't happening down closer to the res.

This condition has never spread either?
Nuto grab a pic if you can of the leaves, I want to compare to mine. I'll do the same.
