    Magnesium deficiency?

    Hiya, This is a FastBuds strawberry banana auto under an enhanced spectrum QB288 in DWC. PPM is about 700 and ph 6 - 6.5. Very obvious yellowing of leaf tips, to em it looks like Mag deficiency, do you agree? Ive been feeding her epsom salts but perhaps i need to give her more? Any thoughts...

    Late flower spectrum

    Is my LED working properly?

    Hiya, I got a new 200W full spectrum 4 bar lamp and im not sure its working correctly. I know they arent super accurate, but my android PAR meter gives a reading of 980umols at about 25cm. Does that sound about right? When i first set her up im fairly sure i couldnt look directly at the light...

    What nutes is everyone using?

    Hiya Ive been using Canna (actually both Hydro and Aqua) veg and bloom but to be honest my last few grows have gone tits up (over/underfeeding, lockout) and im thinking of switching to General Hydrophonics veg bloom and micro. Im sure the issues i had were my fault, im sure canna is fine but...

    When to replace QB?

    Hi, As per title, I've used my basic QB288 for about 7/8 grows now. I know they say the last for 500000000 hours or something but I'm just wondering if it's time for a new one? Cheers!

    Bars or boards?

    Hi Is one better than the other? Diodes are diodes right, if you have some 301bs and some 660s, 730s etc in whatever configuration it shouldn't really matter right? Everything seems to be bars in favour of boards, I just wondered if there's any reason they perform better? Thanks!

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Hiya I have a girl who is not doing terribly well. 2 things are apparent, there is some clawing at the end of the fan leaves, which suggests N toxicity. Also there is some yellowing between the veins which suggests a Mg deficiency. I just wondered are the 2 things connected, like if you have an...

    Can anyone diagnose this?

    Hi! Noticed something wasn't right yesterday and it got worse overnight. 2 week old Ak49 auto in dwc, pH 6.2, ppm rose from 420 to 450 , that tells me she's not feeding so ill drop that. Rising ppm points to burn but it doesn't look like burn to me, more like a deficiency of some kind. Any...

    Anyone got a spare QB288 heatsink they wanna sell (EU)?

    Hiya I know this is a bit weird. The government of the country has introduced these supposedly "green" laws about packaging, you can no longer buy stuff from Asia/China, no more Kingbrite, no Aliexpress stuff, its fucking ridiculous. No more buying leds and drivers and having fun playing around...
