Just received my AstraZeneca shot yesterday. Stem the tide, if you can folks! ;)

50% Peat / 50% vermiculite with some amendments to keep PH in check. 20-10-20 food required with every watering. It's really best to watch this entire video, although I've time stamped it for the media section.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Bugbee, Utah State and Apogee are amazing resources that deserve more recognition. Science! Looking forward to your results, Overgrowtho.

I'm starting my first grow using Bugbee's recommended media and amendments. Very happy with the results.

You are correct about sparseness! I watered just after writing the previous response and the ec was up to 1.8. I'm going to start watering every two days, now. See how that turns out. I'm just growing in a 2x4 tent so, I technically have one plant going. I flipped to flower 2 weeks ago and I...

Nice setup! I’m completely new to growing and jumped into Bugbee’s method straight out of the gate. I’m currently hand watering with 20-10-20 every three days until I have about 10%-20% runoff with EC readings between 1 and 1.5, as Bugbee suggests. I don’t know much about automatic watering. Is...

I think I understand. If the classic definition of PAR, 400 nm to 700 nm has now been replaced by the wider band then do you compensate PPFD readings vs light distance / intensity because of the new far red and UV inclusions? Perhaps you could borrow your friend’s classic PAR 500 model and see...

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Crankdoctor was referring to PPFD measurements in micromoles?

I think the 626 sensor is a great choice for your band range.

Great question. I'm growing under LED. My "full spectrum" has some far red diodes 730nm and 395nm in UV. It just seemed like the practical choice for my arrangement.

I just put an order in for the new SQ-610, ePAR sensor.

Thanks Overgrow & Vizzaro for both sharing your updates. :)

Thanks for that tip. And that’s growing in 50% peat and 50% vermiculite with the mineral additives he recommends?

Curious about the outcomes and/or the ongoing grows using this media mix and 20-10-20 food. Success?

Around the 22 min mark, Bruce Bugbee explains what his university uses to grow. It’s 50% Peat / 50% vermiculite. He explains that vermiculite is the only component that contains silica which is beneficial for trichomes. Silica can be added later but it already exists in the vermiculite. Perlite...

Curious how it turned out, as well? I just started my first tent grow with the parameters professor Bugbee outlines in the above video. To be honest, it was like hitting the jackpot when I stumbled across his information. My seedling is one week old growing out of the media mix he suggests and...
