What happened to the circular vertical setup? Beautiful plants, by the way.

@RM3 uses Jack’s Citrus, I believe?

Circular was for HID lights. LED lighting is more directional so flat walls work better, plus more room to work and they fit in square rooms without so much wasted space.

Yes he does. He adds some other stuff in too, like potassium sulfate. We all end up with a pretty similar ratio.

i was looking at jacks because of the great price for a 25# bag but i'm using only maxibloom 5-15-14 w/ tapwater thru all stages of growth and 5-12-26 seems too high in K

yeah i don't want to have to add calcium or magnesium though, i prefer a complete 1 part nutrient. maxibloom works fine alone w/ tapwater even in coco under LED, prob going to switch to megacrop after it runs out

The problem with one part nutrients is that sulfates and calcium bind very readily, creating gypsum which is 97% water insoluble.

That's why two part nutes are so common. Just mix calcium nitrate into solution separately before adding it to the res. Do the same with the mix.

That's not so much of a 'problem' with one part nutrients as much as it can be an issue when trying to create one.

I am going to have to say that unless you pick the right plant, top that girl and veg her long then you ain't seeing no 2-2.5lb / light. I am not into waiting for that to happen. I do quick turnarounds. So, in the end I make more than the single light grower. I am in a perpetual harvest. 2lb/month. Yes sometimes more, sometimes less. That's with 4000 watts in bloom and 1000 in veg. I could add more plants and really fill the room up but not for another few months. I spent a lot on upgrades recently.

how do you take plants under 1000w and spread it out over 4000w in flower? the plants must be tiny when you put them into flower?

The problem comes when you compare how much nutrient you're getting for your money versus two part nutrients, and especially dry salts.
