    Your local hydroponics store or do you buy it online?

    'clicked the link. I'm not saying you are wrong but we circle back to word of mouth? BBB accreditation was important until it wasn't so the target moved. Do I know people who've purchased from Temu and didn't have a problem, yes. Can I say you can order from Temu and won't have a problem...

    I know what you mean and had a Solistek magnetic ballast go up in flames down in the basement. At the time Solistek magnetic ballasts were the good ones. I didn't get what I paid for, or maybe I did? https://www.rollitup.org/t/how-the-fucks-anyone-coping-with-this-heat.1021749/#post-15623656

    Your local hydroponics store or do you buy it online?

    Yes, you're right. Today many people are skipping American vendors/websites all together and buying direct from manufactures through Ali Baba or other places. Look at this one at Temu. I can't speak to the quality so do some DD but for $34.00 after every second grow toss the light...

    PH'ing tap water

    So what have you done? Just so yo know if the environment isn't right PH doesn't matter because PM will most likely show-up, or other calamities.

    PH'ing tap water

    I've used white vinegar and never had a problem. You won't need much per gallon.

    Batteries Q

    Now you got me started on the manufacturing processes that don't fully close the bottles or the QC person who let's it all slide by. Maybe there should be a sticker on the container, "tighten cap upon arrival". It's like buying a Boeing and the doors fall off mid flight. What's happening?

    Batteries Q

    Thanks. Another! Q. Back there I bought Avid, Forbid /mites and Eagle 20 /fungicide. I may need Avid, Forbid again but don't expect to need Eagle 20 again. Is this stuff savable or does it go bad as the years roll on? It's kind of expensive and don't want to waste the liquids but it may...

    Batteries Q

    And another thing that makes me furious! Does this infuriate you? I'm putting away the the PH pen, low and behold the storage solution container has corrosion on the outside. This bottle is still new from the factory and was never opened. I'm just living my life and getting sabotaged.

    Batteries Q

    Like many of you I'm using BlueLabs pens and other devices that are powered by batteries. Batteries aren't easily removed from the BlueLabs stuff. You know how it is. Sometimes you'll put something away and unknowingly that's the last time you touch it for years. I'm not going to be...

    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    I think we use the VPD tool to determine environmental variables then use the controllers to make it happen. All that to say, I'm going to inoculate some jars soon, maybe tomorrow. After inoculation what temp should the jars be kept and what amount of light, if any should they receive? TIA.

    Information overload

    Oh, sorry.

    Information overload

    The old truck analogy would fit cruising CL for an inexpensive, used light fixture with 200 grows on it. If the job requires a 300 HP truck why start by using a 200W Prius. The supplemental light is like chaining a trailer to the Prius. :)

    Information overload

    BB is right and fluffy buds suck. If you can't afford the 300w today you should wait until you've squirreled away enough cheddar. There's not much more to say.

    Maybe you'll get a Black Friday coupon code, maybe not.
