first off does this look like a nute defitiency or a nute burn?

it doesnt look like nute burn. maybe just a lack of air, the leaves dont perspirate as well. If you have good airation in ur room u can move ur light a little closer and it wont hurt, actually helps. just use ur hand as a heat measurement.

thanks for the quick response.

i would just replace the solution more often, once their alot more roots then up the ppm's -7days sounds like a long time to keep the same stuff going. they might be showing signs youve stopped feeding a few days back.

lowering the lamp will increase the hear if you dont have air cooled lights -and even then, so keep a fan above the palnts but under the lamp on osilate. ontop of haveing exhaust fans moveing air out and sucking in threw intake points -i think that what chif was getting at.

I just fill two five gallon buckets with plain water and let them sit for however long it takes to use it up. I keep a one gallon jug for mixing nutes and I do it everyday so I dont get stagent(sp) nutes and the bucket just gets scummy if you let it sit. I like to keep it as clean as possible. I honestly dont think you need ventilation unless your worried about temps or have a large room. Ill be using a total of 2 fans per light, one above each light blowing down and one to oscilate on the floor. I've used 2 fans in the past with one light and had no problems at all.

i have two 18 gallon container that i fill to gas the clorine in the water. im useing a eco grower drip system from GH, 6 site. i use the water in the containers to top off the resivour every day. when i change the nute solution i drain the resivour and fill with the water i have gassed off and run pain water for a few hours then add nutes to that water. my grow room consists of a 3' x 3' x 78" grow tent in the basement. i leave a window cracked so fresh air gets in. im using my light ventilation to pull the frsh air into the tent. i have a small fan inside to cirulate the air. had to close the window a bit it got kinda cold in the tent 65 was the lowest it got which i beleave is the cause of one of my plants leaves to droop. the temp never goes above 80 in the tent. stays around 75 usualy.

ya, light ventilation- i imagen you duct threw an air cooled hoot and out of the cab? -what i did was use a 4in duct hole that was in my cab about 18in off the ground their are spare parts for theas hydro huts that you could use with wood cause their double sided duct pices that you hold together and goin with 6 screws. the outside of the hut has black duct tape wraped around the 4inch ducting i could also of used some black/white darkout/reflective material -the inside has just enough 4inch ducting to make it down to about 4inch off the floor. this action makes your 'light ventilation' fan blow into your space blowing air around the floor area while your cerculation fan is aimed above the canopy but still is the primary source of air movement. you just get double use from your small squarl/snail fan -thats what i use, cheep and small for the cab enough to move air. this is 2 4inch flanges in 1 http://www.thebigtomato.com/catalog/4quot-hydro-hut-double-flange-kit.htm

the only reason you may not like this is if your cab sint sealed fully and your carbon filtering your exhaust, then your smell may leak and a 3rd fan silly i think. atleast get the intake hooked up to 4inhc ducting and get that so it comeing in the direction of the plants -close the window most of the way at night cause it may get too cold even with the hot air cerculating back into the room.

here some update photos

this white widow grew alot faster than the one to the right of it. the one on the left is NL. is it ok to trim the leaves like you clip clones so the other plants are not so crowded. im affraid the bigger WW will get to big and shade the ones next to it.

guess that one con i found with the eco grower. little to close together kinda wish i would have made my own using buckets but wanted something proven to work for the first grow. oh well lesson learned.

[jackel]

if ur not flowering them now u should. those systems are made for small plants. you can clip some of the leaves back (but not too many) to clear the budsites. check the roots on the front left one. possible root rot or something. its defn getting too much water.

ill start 12/12 tomorow. im not sure what the deal is up with that front left one it was the tallest then stopped. it isnt producing many roots. the roots it has are nice and white. but the others have great root masses. during the dark period do you leave the fan on that blows on the plants? thanks for the help

[jackel]

i genereally leave my fan on 24/7 on low.
