    First Hydro Waterfarm GHS Ladyburn 1974

    Sub'd to this. I've got some lady burn 1974 running right now, just switched nutes today, started day 29. Mine look very similar. Thanks for making a journal out of this strain:) Best of luck.

    It's A Fuct World

    al, I'm having trouble with my cool tube/ adjust a wing set up. I'm not sure how much space to leave between the glass and the aaw. I've also got some hot spots, but not directly under the bulb, only on the sides. Which holes do you use in the wing to attach the wire, there are multiple...

    Leaves going yellow

    stop the foliar feed with the lights on, the droplets will act like a magnifying glass and burn your leaves. Those plants look like clones left in the cloner to long without adding nutes. Just add or foliar feed some time of N dominant nute formula, it should be labled "Grow" I feed low ec...

    ebb and flow feeding times

    they are short probably because the root system is getting set. If that is hydroton in the basket, which is what i use, I run ebb and flow and water 8 times a day in flower, but by flowering time the root system is pretty large. if you are drain to waste and don't want to waste water, you can...

    Has anyone tried Greenhouse Seeds Jack Herer or Lady Burn 1974?

    I agree, this is a very slow starter, with strange fat leaves. I will say so far it is a great cloner as it took 5-7 days to show roots.

    Has anyone tried Greenhouse Seeds Jack Herer or Lady Burn 1974?

    I've got a ladyburn 1974 in the cloner, from the mom in soil. Guess I'll find out in 10 weeks. Mom has fat leaves, very short and stocky so far, though its sitting next to a lemon skunk from ghs, which is real stretchy. I can't find any grow info on the lady burn 1974 unfortunately.

    1000 Watt HPS DWC Lemon Skunk G.H. 3 Part System

    EC is electrical conductivity, which has to do with the ammount of nutrient salts in solution. I refer to ec over ppm, since every brand has a different measurement for ppm, whether it is at .5 or .7. I use a blue lab truncheon, about $150, which has ppm, cf, and ec. If you don't know your...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    I don't want to hijack your thread homebrewer, but as dg users have congregated here, here's my question. I have a gallon of bloom, and when I was mixing it today, I noticed that something has solidified in the bottle. When I shake it, it sounds like chunks of rocks are in the bottle. How can...

    fox farm ocean forest soil

    I'm sure this is somewhere on the forum, but I haven't had any luck with my search. A friend is using ocean forest soil by fox farm, and was planning on using it in 3 gallon buckets with the bottom couple of inches being hydroton to help drain. The question is should we mix this soil with...

    1000 Watt HPS DWC Lemon Skunk G.H. 3 Part System

    The lemon skunk looks awesome. I'm looking forward to this, I'm in the seedling stage with a ladyburn 1974 and a lemon skunk. What ec are you using for that dwc?

    Ph issues with Lucas Formula any advice???

    Thanks for the free experience HB. Live and learn is a true motto lived so far. I've got a 2 week per tray, 4 tray sog system, and day after tomorrow the new flowering tray is going in at a lower level. Can you reveal your GH exel spreadsheet numbers or any recommendations for my new gh 3...

    Ph issues with Lucas Formula any advice???

    I would also put aside a bucket of your ph'd 5.8 water and check it for fluctuation when you check your reservoir pH. If the plain water is fluctuating, its your culprit. I have trouble keeping my water stable from time to time.

    It's A Fuct World

    Hey Al great to have you back. I wanted to know if you use light diffusers with your cooltubes. I've got one on my 1K, about 14" above the canopy. Uncle Ben had mentioned bleaching that occurs from too much light, so I'm afraid to remove my diffuser. I used your cloning tips with...

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    I tried searching this thread, but couldn't find anything about light diffusers. I had one on my 250 W cooltube that is attached to an adjust-a-wing medium size, but recently took it off to see if it was even necessary. Has anyone used one?

    Ph issues with Lucas Formula any advice???

    He's right about the hydroton, its not absorbent, but the tiny holes will hold that high pH tap water you washed it with. When your nutes re-wet that hydroton, the pH will rise. The price you pay for being greener with hydroton. I don't condition as long as you do LF, but I only use 40 liters...

    Ph issues with Lucas Formula any advice???

    Homebrewer, a few questions if I may. I use a blue lab truncheon nute meter. With 0-8-16, I get an EC of 1.4 , 700 at the 500 side, or 980ppm at the 700 side. From all accounts from lucas, 0-8-16 should be 1400 ppm or 1260 ppm, I forget. Your thoughts? I measure very carefully, both mL of...

    Ph issues with Lucas Formula any advice???

    Great looking set-up Pitbull. I also ran the lucas formula for a while. I don't recommend the 0-5-10 ratio as veg, I used it as well, and I'm pretty certain that Lucas himself said that he uses only 0-8-10 the whole grow, I found no problems with that in veg. Your pH should not be rising like...
