Just got the Mau5-V kit and put it all together...It's so awesome!!! I'm assuming I did everything correctly because nothing exploded or caught on fire! I caught myself after wiring positive to negative from cob to cob but nearly forgot that for the wire that comes out of the final cob in the...

I couldn't figure out what that Vaux lead was for, so I just taped it over with electrical tape and left it free

You're not gonna NOT get Randy Jackson's autograph!

MisterBlah.....you are my best friend!!!! Do you want to go do karate in the garage? This totally worked!!!!!! Thank you as always! For anyone else having this problem here's what I did following MistarBlah's advice: 1) First I downloaded and installed version 1.4 because 1.5 wouldn't install...

Does anyone know of a fix or a way to get Hydrobuddy 1.4 or 1.5 to work in Windows 10? I really need this program. I have attached two screenshots, the first is what happens when I attempt to install version 1.5 and the second is after I successfully install version 1.4 but then it fails to...

@welight, Hey Mark, I'm going to order the MAU5-V kit, do you have a link to the dimmer (potentiometer) that pairs with that kit's driver? Do I need (or do you recommend) anything else besides what's in the kit and dimmer that I might be forgetting before I place the order? (I always seem to...

I have what may be a very basic question about dimming, but I'm quite new to this and still learning.... Do modern dimmers lower amperage in any way? I read that rheostats work by actually turning the current on and off thousands of times per second and cutting the edges off of the sine...

@sixstring2112, @wsntme, @Humble grower Thanks everyone! This is a very pleasant surprise! For some reason I was expecting 4-6 weeks, like when you order something from China. I'm now more eager than ever.

This is an amazing thread!!! I'm still catching up...but one quick question: Does anyone know how long it takes for Cutter to ship to the United States? I'd really like to test the waters with growmau5's kit

Oh I'm sure they won't be happy about having the recipe to their secret sauce published. But at the end of the day, they are way overpriced...most of these nutrient companies are. It's almost like they had it coming. Not that they are all bad companies run by bad people; I get it that they are...

Exactly! Honestly I doubt it would dent their sales anyway. It would be such a small percentage of their customer base that's resourceful and motivated enough to go on forums and read threads like this one, then make their own nutes.

Wow! Did they release that intentionally? I guess it's not the full picture because they don't say the amounts or ratios but still...in such a competitive industry I'm surprised they would do that. Even more surprising considering they have the same formula as other brands but charge...

I think I'm going to go that rout at the moment rather than getting all of the individual trace elements. I can always reevaluate if I see any deficiencies. Would it be overkill to add humic and fulvic powders on top of what is already included in this kelp blend in your opinion? I have read...

Do you guys think this kelp extract might be an acceptable source of trace elements? - (https://customhydronutrients.com/cytoplus-300-grams-p-465.html?cPath=75_326_327_329&zenid=be622eab91349b63a0fd2e66e8c8257a) They are not the EDTA versions, but it might save me a few bucks on trace micros...

hmm...I guess for now Cropking can go suck it! I'll have to do a little bit more research. I'll see if I can track down the EDTA versions through amazon or eBay. I haven't had much success so far. There seem to be lots of chemical company type product information websites out there but not a lot...

Thanks MisterBlah! I will change the stock solutions. Potassium Sulfate is kind of stubborn. It dissolves in water, but turns the solution cloudy - permanently. I assume this is normal though. As for the EDTA chelates, I went on cropking as you suggested and this is what their website has to...

Okay so let me see if I have this correct. I currently make a 3 part stock solution: Part A = Mono Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Sulfate, Magnesium Nitrate Part B = Calcium Nitrate, "MOST" (trace element mix, which is to be replaced) Part C = Agsil I don't make a stock solution for humic...

Ah, thanks for the input! .5g per 10 gal is exactly the amount I've been using so that is good! Yeah I'm making stock solutions and my veg stock B solution (Calcium Nitrate & MOST) calls for 20g of MOST per 800mL of water, which stubbornly just does not want to dissolve. It just sits at the...

MisterBlah, I have been using JR Peters MOST(mix of soluble traces) for trace elements. It's very difficult to obtain any actual info on the traces themselves other than their percentages in the formula. "A full package of micronutrients required for greenhouse & nursery production. Guaranteed...
