    sweet hellraizer, 2.3 on the 500 side is about 1200, I was going on the 700 side. Gonna try a 5-10-20 ratio during week 0-2, tone it down to 8-8-16 and add some Liquid KB in week 3-4, then add Powder KB in week5-6, water till week 8. I'm gonna stop using Floralicious plus for now, I don't...

    Hydroponics

    Doesany body use GH liquid kool bloom and GH powder kool bloom together? I like them, only 5 mL Liquid Kool Bloom per gallon and .8 grams powder kool bloom per gallon. Used with 3 part GH nutes, thinking of upping my ratio to 4-8-16 to account for N def in lucas formula. Any thoughts...

    It's A Fuct World

    Al hope all is well. Long time reader of your knowledge. I use your cooltube/ AAW diy combo for a 1k hps in the flowering room, love it. I use a light diffuser for hot spots, my lamp is about 14" above the canopy. Do you use a light diffuser? I feel like it shades some areas too much, but...

    thank you sir, gonna give that ratio a try with floralicious plus and liquid kool bloom. Last questions and i'll leave you alone, is that 1200 on the 500 side or the 700 side of a truncheon blue lab, or what ec are you getting, is this your solution throughout the entire flowering cycle aside...

    for those that use cooltubes, do you use the light diffuser to break up hot spots? I do, but feel that it creates dark spots especially directly underneath the bulb. Thoughts?

    What Additives Do You Use?

    yeah z, exactly, i use a bluelab truncheon nute meter. 8 mL micro per gallon and 16 mL Flower per gallon give me an ec of 1.2 or 770 ppm (ec x 700) or 550 ppm (ec x 500) what number should I shoot for on the 500 side? is that personal preference, or because of GH nutes? Thanks for the knowledge.

    Easy DIY Hydro Setup *With Pics*

    love the set up, I do my clones like that. Finally getting to the painting part. Didn't think about the white top, excellent idea. Only problem is that traditional clear plastic humidity domes don't cover a traditional rubbermaid lid completely. Any suggestions? I only use it the first week...

    sea of green flood table questions

    right now I veg for around 11 days, cause that is my rotation period per tray, but like I said different strains don't all grow the same. some go straight to veg and grow to 30", just depends how big your clones are at the start. I use 9" clones. if I don't veg, my max plant height is 16" for...

    sea of green flood table questions

    I use 5" pots, 16 per 2'x2' tray and there is zero space left, four trays under a cooltube 1000W hps 14" from canopy, though I do have to prune to keep things neat. My plants start at 9" only get about 16" tall with no veg, just over 1/2 oz colas. If you are spacing these plants out I'm sure...

    for moms I use 2 Baby bloomers with 3 square mesh pots filled with hydroton, the moms are bubbleponic clones, no rockwool gives me freedom to water as often as I like (15 minutes every hour, 18/6) I run 16 clones per 2'x2' tray, and I have plenty to pick from. the Baby bloomer is compact, the...

    ps the finished product is awesome. Uppy stone that continues elegantly for hours, no real paranoia or couch lock. My preferred smoke now, best bet for that daytime dilemma. It will not ruin your day, but avoid toking it at night, its like aderol. could be me, but I've been smoking it for 3...

    Looking for Al B. Fuct style sog growers, my new op specs

    Blue bonic is my only experience. 4 harvests in and i like it, but just can't get it tall enough, and about the bottom half puts out long side branches if I don't trim. only about 5.5 oz from 16 plants in 5 " pots. 16" is the max from 9" clones, so thats why I veg 11 days under a 250 W hps...

    Humidity problems please help guys!!!!

    Just wait till your babies get going before you freak, a room full of bigger plants puts out much more moisture during peak growth. My 5.5'*5.5' flowering room, when full keeps exhaust, a/c, and my humidifier busy. What's the outside RH for you, mine is high, usually 60-90% unless theres a...

    sea of green flood table questions

    I like to use 1" rockwool cubes placed in my pots that are filled with hydroton. The cubes are about 1/2" above the floodline. I can water more frequently when the roots get into the hydroton. I get sketched growing completely in RW due to algae problems and ph issues. But if the power goes...

    Thanks Flam and Dr. Green. As soon as I can get a camera link to my computer, I'll post pics. Anybody have any hydro sog experience with this strain Blue Bonic? It has a lemony flavor that finishes sweet, almost like a lemon drop, not really reminiscent of blueberry except in the smell...
