    Reverse RO?

    Does anyone know of a good RO system that has better ratios? This hyper logic system claims it can go up to 4:1. 4 gallons of good water and 1 gallon of waste. "Reverse ratio" it says. This one is also around $5,000 http://hyper-logic.com

    Different wattages and distance?

    Ive read that three 600W bulbs is better then two 1000W bulbs. Ive tried both and agree that three 600W bulbs gets a more even spread and less dark spots. My question is (I have height limitations), if I lower the lights to 400W and put them closer to the plants, is that the same as 600W...

    How much light intensity?

    Can anyone give me an idea or link to something about how much light intensity is needed for veg and bloom? Ive been using a light meter that works in LUX. I read somewhere that 30,000 LUX for veg and 50,000 for bloom is what do go for. I know your supposed to measure in foot candles but.... Ive...

    Need nutrient change advice

    This is my first time growing in soil. So I got neglectful and didn't get too much run off, nor did I check the ppms of the run off. I was also adding about 400 ppm of Floranova grow, calmag, seaweed, superthrive. I transplanted pre teens from coco so I figured theyd need some nutes for the...

    Green Clean Miticide?

    Has anyone used this stuff? I just got a free sample and am debating using it. I have mites right now, they came with my plants. I dipped the pre teens in avid when I first got them and it didnt kill them 100%, Im guessing the eggs hatched. I washed them off with seaweed about 4 days after the...

    Watering multiple plants

    does anyone have any suggestions on how to water multiple plants? I want to use water halos and pumps. I can't seem to find the set up online anywhere though. Is there a splitter that dispenses the water to different plants?

    What strain is this?

    Its not what I asked for, I got half and half it looks like. Its purple, very strong fruity smell, some of them have white tops. Im not sure if thats due to light, or stress cause not every plant of this strain has the white top. And one plant of the other strain has a white top. Im guessings...

    Leaf Problems

    Can anyone tell me what this might be? Its happened to me before and is happening again. I thought it might be light burn but Im guessings its more nute related. Lights are 18 inches away, 400 watt MH. I just raised them to 24 inches (2 feet) becuase the plants look worse this morning and some...

    Air stones?

    Has anyone used these? Im in coco, I used hydrogen peroxide before to clean and oxygenate my city water but stopped using it cause now my water is RO. I'd be curious if itd be beneficial to use an air stone in my reservoir for a day, before I water (I usually mix nutes right before I feed). If...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    Only 1 plant is showing the symptoms. I spray them once a week with azmax and neem oil so the plants look bug free. Im in coco and the PH is 5.9 (Im in bloom). Im worried this plant will infect the rest. Bottom leaf is dying but its an old leaf. The new growth, some of it looks strange.

    How much water?

    I can never seem to get any answer out of this question. Does anyone else grow in coco that can give me an idea of how much water they give per plant in flower? Last run I was doing about 30 gallons for 15 plants every week. I wasn't getting a lot of run off though which built up nutes. I'm 1...

    Wasting less water?

    I recently bought this RO system, 2 stage. Its really slow and I realized I need a faster one. But my biggest concern is the clean/waste ratio. I cant find the ratio on it anywhere. http://www.horticulturesource.com/hydrofarm-active-aqua-two-stage-ro-p12203/ I think its 3:1. Im filling up...
