HOG Pictures and Questions !!!

[Guicho]

Hi My Friends,

I´m From Mexico City and recentrly built my HOG, after 1 week with a Photoperiod of 18 hrs (recommended) saw NO growth at all, reading in this excelent forum a lot post, turn down the photoperiod to 8hrs.

It´s been 2 weeks since the change in the hrs, and this is the result

My question is, Do i need to stay with the 8hrs period? or need to increase time of exposure? and which time cycle between cleanings??

Regardsss

Clean everything with a toothbrush, and open the air tabs and blow the stuff out so that the bubbles come out in more places. Then tilt the unit so that the bubbles go up the middle.

how many days have to wait to clean it?

[SantaMonica]

Stay at 10 hours.

hi my friend, keeping my HOG for some time, running the lights for 17 hrs, and mostly in the center of the mesh are growing red algae like pin heads.

what can i do, reduce the exposing time?, increase internal flow on HOG?

I think you need to just let it grow. Don't clean it for several weeks.
