    Trigering Anthocyanin (color pigment)

    The op had it right, or at least the original document did. > is the greater than sign. S a ph> 7 means a ph greater than 7. My elementary education kicking in, think of an alligators mouth opening for the larger side. If whatever is in question is at the alligators mouth it's greater than. Lol

    2 noob questions on PH.....

    Agree check batteries and calibration. Also if your standing right next to your digital ballast it may throw it off. One of my ballasts that I have is an off brand and if I'm within 5 feet of it i would occasionally get funky readings. When I walk into hallway it would snap to where I presumed...

    Odor Control

    Hopefully your girl will smell like crazy. When I first got stated and was investing as I could I took those large furnace filters that have a sheet of carbon, the ones made for pet odors and such. I took a bunch of those and cut them Into pieces the size of a vent for a six inch duct and...

    Correct ph varying between rapid rooter, rook wool, or not using a medium at all.....

    Don't make things to difficult for yourself. Optimal is 5.8 but letting the ph swing between 5.2 and 6.2 is not a bad thing. Nutrients are more readily up taken by our plants at different ph levels, just keep it in that range.

    Help with new system.

    If your looking to grow some monster trees undercurrent works great, a lot of aero set ps are made for smaller plants, look at all the fence post spray units and such.

    FIM plants does it hurt them also how young so you start?

    I would not worry about hermies from FIMing, in fact is is less stressful than topping. You will be fine.

    Lucas formula question

    I go by ppm along with reading the plant until I increase my nutrients. I wait until ppm is either staying roughly the same, or decreasing before I start upping my nutrients.they say Lucas is 8-16 as long as your under HID but I have a sweet skunk that won't let me do that, I have to start off...

    Lucas formula question

    Which nutrients are you using? You say your using a full line and also Lucas... It's happened to me with with Lucas and young cuts I had to flush than decrease amount of nuts for a bit until they started looking better than began upping it. You shouldn't need cal mag with the Lucas formula, so...

    okay folks, which is best....(yeild)

    Thank you, I didn't mean to say for the ph to be stable, I agree fully with you. I let my ph swing within the range, not only for the fact that different nutrients are more readily available at different points but also I'd go crazy trying to keep a solid ph of 5.8 in all my res. I should have...

    okay folks, which is best....(yeild)

    Hydro tends to be faster and with good genetics can produce some dense buds. In hydro you don't want to use organics or anything that has to be broken down if your looking to see all the benefits. Having the nutrients already broken down and available to the plant. But like you said you don't...

    Emergency!!! Plants dying quickly!!! Curling under leaves.

    wow, they were thirsty if they drank 5 gallons without you noticing. you can always top up the bucket as the week goes by and than mix your nuts at the end of the week to make it easier on yourself, just don't let them go dry. Also, by write them off I meant I had to throw them out and started...

    hydrogen peroxide used throughout a grow .

    Use it regularly also, start to finish and haven't had a problem. In the past i have battled root rot and am scared to death of it. 29% H2o2 keeps the girls roots nice and white. I should add that I am using GH, so there is nothing organic so a sterile environment works great for me. If you...

    Emergency!!! Plants dying quickly!!! Curling under leaves.

    I believe i read it right, you say DWC but you say the bucket was empty? thats no good. your roots can't dry out in that set up. how small are your buckets? you should always have the water just under your net pots, maybe letting it drop a bit towards end of flower. Also, you say you found...

    New to using a tent

    Didn't mean to come off like that. I also don't know what strains your growing, some smellier than others, but that stronger light will most likely produce some more buds and smell is definitely something ever grower should worry about. scrubbing the air is usually a good practice, plus it will...

    Like you saw the Lucas formal page says 8ml but the ask Lucas li Lucas states 6 Mls is good. But you got the right idea start lower you don't want to burn them. Also gh is good stuff. People get caught up in all the additives and crap other lines have but minerals used are basically all the...

    Wouldn't be a bad idea to throw a filter on your set up. I've never said to myself "man, I wish my house smelt more"

    got my nutes

    According to ask Lucas he says 6 ml per gallon but according to Lucasformula.com it says 8ml per gallon. Ive used lucas for awhile, not with nova but couldnt be happier, give it a try... or you can do the 10 ml that the back of the bottle says (5ml per tsp) I'd do that every 3rd waterings if...
