I appreciate all the replies. As much as I want to try to build an led , I don't really have the time. I have been looking at ready to rock out of the box systems. I am showing interest in mars hydro and platinum led. Platinum led claims full spectrum but with 1000 dollar price tag, mars hydro...

I have been using hid's forever, and I was looking at buying yet another f'ing bulb and started reading about led lighting. I want to try this but do not know a cost effective way to go. I have read about this in the past, but reviews were pretty lackluster.Leds have apparently made a turn for...

I would say you have a defficiency because you mixs your nutes before adding them to water.I assume that is what you ment in your description above. "I am using 250mL Botanicare Grow Pro, 175mL Cal/Mag, and 550mL Liquid Karma. I then fill up the gallon jug with R/O water and then into the...

I will try mixing up brand new nutes to test.ill mix up two small batches one with pea gravel one without and test ph after a day or two.I will look into di-ionization,that was a route i had not considered or knew of for that matter.Thank you for the info

from what ive read pea gravel is inert unless its limestone gravel which i am positive my gravel is pea not limestone.Ive always used pea gravel but i always used coco coir mixed in to help keep moisture content up.i did away with the coco because it would fall apart.My ph used to rise,but it...

does using pea gravel in my E&F table raise the ph?My current setup is pea gravel for medium,AN connoisseur,big bud ,carbo load,sensizyme,b-52 in RO water.When i change the water i dont even bother adjusting the nutrients ph upward (as it is usually about 4.8 at the finish of change) cause after...

Ok ill do you one better than garm.When i was growing ebb and flow i had a 2'x4' table with 6 plants.These plants set in net cups filled with pea gravel,These net cups sit in a lid that covered my flood table.The flood table has no other medium inside of it,just open air.Im not going to say it...

My plants could not go 2-3 days without watering,dont really know if there is any science to that or not,but usually you get just under half the wieght you pulled down.so if you pulled 10 oz.you will probably get about 5 oz.This isnt an exact science either but every batch ive pulled is about...

you want to make a high thc count on an autoflower?good luck buddy.Autoflowers are notorious for making great buds with slightly less thc than one usually wants

You need poop.horse poo cow poo bat poo,some kind of poo to mix with the soil.there is poo in every state in the country.If not poo then you have to go synthetic or chemical.Egg shells and coffee grinds are for growing flowers and shit.Though human hair is a source of slow release nitrogen,still...

I do realize this post is a couple years old but poop man headband is a little parinoid.I have used poop of all forms to grow a range of vegitables as well as mj.Hell when me and my brother were kids we used to throw cow shit at each other,never got sick.My mom mixed cow shit,horse shit into our...

600 watt hps is an awsome light.If you vent it and keep the distance to the plants tolerable.In bud ive had mine as close as 2".You will have to keep the cfl's as close to the bud tips as you can get them all the time,touching them if you must.You will have to move them upward as your plant...

I want to try to do this and am just looking for advice.I want to veg in 1/2 gallon pots with chemical nutes.just before they start to get rootbound i will flush out the soil really well with clearex and water.then transplant into 5 gal buckets of prepared organic flowering soil,veging for a...
