    Day 31. Just flushed plants 3 days ago due to what I believed to be N lockout. Had high ppm salts built up in medium, flushed till I had same ppm coming out that I was putting in. Plants have reacted positively to the flush so I will feed at 3/4 strength next feeding.

    Fulvic acid powder to water ratio

    Yeah, I might just have to do that. I have vermicompost bins currently going in the basement and was definatly planning on adding wigglers to the pots. I've just seen several no tillers supplementing fulvic on new soil mixes. Thanks again for your input.

    Fulvic acid powder to water ratio

    Thanks for the reply. As this is going to be my first full season doing no-till indoors and outdoors my compost pile is limited because of all the pots I need to fill. So I was going to suppliment fulvic this season to boost levels in new containers. The price of the bottled stuff just seems way...

    Any No-till gardeners in here use a liquid or powdered fulvic acid?

    Fulvic acid powder to water ratio

    Hey guys. I'm looking at purchasing some 90% fulvic acid powder in bulk to make a liquid like FulPower. I have read all kinds of different ratios of dilution.from what I read there are two common conversion methods. From the boiag site itself "By the Verplogh and Brandvold method Ful-Power...

    Can I use 1000w hps in a 4x2?

    Post a picture if you can, that'll help determine whats going on with the plants. When were they last watered?

    Mini Split?

    With those numbers and my calculations you're still at 2400watts veg so roughly 10,000btu/h plus the 4,500btu for square footage. (14,500 you can round down to 14,000 total btu/h) That's before factoring ballasts and dehumidifier if you have one. So one 12,000btu/h head for veg is a bit...

    Mini Split?

    Anybody that knows how to do heat loss calculations to properly size an A/C would question this statement. You can believe what you want, I'm not here to argue. Arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics. Even if you win you're still retarded. Peace and blessings✌

    formulas for wattage / room space?

    HID rule of thumb: 250watt = 2'×2' coverage 400watt = 3'×3' coverage 600watt = 4'×4' coverage 1000watt = 5'×5' coverage Or The formula for the “Watts per Square Ft.” method is 50 to 75 watts per sq. ft.. The optimal spot is right in the middle of that which is basically 65w. This is...

    pH testing

    After several pens I switched to drops and never looked back. Haven't had ph issues since.

    pH testing

    If you go with a pen also get calibration solution and calibrate it once a week. I have had several pens and none of them ever held a decent calibration.

    Can I use 1000w hps in a 4x2?

    Nah, vented room. I use a lung room that I keep heated during lights off to pull in warmer than ambient air and it sit around 68*-70*F. If I pulled ambient basement air in it would drop to 60*-62*F. I turn the heat off in the lung room before the light comes on and run a bare bulb. The room sits...

    Mini Split?

    Purposely stupid? I was just trying to help the guy out. I'm an HVAC technician so my calculations are done the way I was taught. I was not trying to confuse the OP, I was just lending advice. Then you said square footage doesn't really matter so I asked you a simple question. I wasn't trying to...

    Mini Split?

    So are you saying that if the room is sealed it doesnt matter if it's 225sqft or 1000sqft the cooling needs would be the same?
