    Need complete feeding chart!

    I'm finally getting to the point where I'm creating my own feed charts as well. I, like most all newer growers have been chronically over-feeding for years, expecting great results and not getting them. Here's where I'm at now. I'd love to get some constructive criticism.

    Newb here almost no vertical growth. Too short?

    Looks like what happened to me when I was overfilling my DWC buckets. Make sure there is at least a couple of inches of gap between your water level and the bottom of your net pot. Also, keep your LED's 18-26 inches away from the tops.

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    The purple/red stems I'm getting on the affected leaves lead me towards a Calcium or Mag deficiency. In my new 5 gallons I mixed earlier, I decided to check the PPM of each nutrient I added: PPM guide for AN Trio @ 3/ml per liter: (into 5 gallons) Starting PPM of RO Water: 10 30 ml GH...

    I'm going to add some extra magnesium. I think maybe 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt into 5 gallons.

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    I was hoping for green leaves all the way through flower. I will achieve it someday, but it seems today is not that day. On a positive note, I've never seen this much trich production this early in flower...

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    Yeah 3ml/l of the AN M/G/B plus 5ml/gal of CaliMagic plus 2ml/gal of Hydroguard puts me around 1350ppm starting with 8ppm RO water.

    Calcium/Mag deficiencies usually show up during veg.. kinda surprised to see it at this point. Did you ever go all the way up to 4ml/liter on the AN nutes?

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    I've been using 1 tsp/gal of GH CaliMagic.. guess it's not enough. Just going to add an extra tsp to my 3 gallons.

    Any experience with Gorilla Glue #4?

    I am just a couple weeks into flower of Nirvana's GG#4. My observations so far is that she's a big drinker, tolerant to nutes, loves Calcium and Magnesium, and stretches like a mofo.

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    That's very similar to the RO Buddie system I use from Amazon. Replacement filters on Amazon are pretty cheap too. My PPM has crept up to 22 PPM from 8 over the last few months. Probably time to change the carbon and sediment filters. RO membrane is supposed to be good for up to 500 gallons.

    Wow I guess it's finally starting to wear out...

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    I'm super happy with this RO system. It was like 65 bucks on Amazon. I bought a shower diverter and an adapter at Menards so I can run the filter from my shower with a valve. I've done at least a hundred gallons through it and it's still holding steady at 8 ppm without the de-ionizing filter...

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    Yeah I think my cities' reservoir must be on a bed of limestone or something. 470 ppm sucks. I don't even use it for coffee or soup. Ice tastes like shit.

    Sorry I may not have written that post clearly. RO for the win though!

    LED Thread regarding stalk weight difference between LED & HPS

    I'm new to LED's, but I do know a little about light measurement and PPFD. I bought this Optic 2 lamp, which is a mixed Cree COB/5W blend. For 300 bucks, I absolutely love it. I think it's as good as a 400 watt HPS (or close PPFD wise), but this heat output is SO MUCH less than HID, I no longer...

    When/How Much Defoliation?

    This tap water wrecked my last coco grow. Had to buy an RO Buddie on Amazon. Best 60 bucks I ever spent. Get's me down to 8 ppm.
