I decided to email Fox Farm and sent: "Dear Fox Farm Ocean Forest staff, I got involved in a growing competition and will be using straight, 100% Fox Farm Ocean Forest as my secret weapon. Looking up plant specs it seems the plants I will be growing enjoy a PH of 6.0/6.5. I'll be using city...

I have a BlueLabs PH meter and can PH. Will do so next watering. Got a link to the thread?

The plants lived through the night so as a reward each got a 16 ounce cool drink of plain, un-PH'd water. I turned the LED fixture to 100%. Today I noticed depending on where/how I hold the Samsung the color temp varied. See the color differences? From the pics in the last post at...

Operation Transplant complete. 1st 2 inches or so pure perlite then pure FFOF. I haven't watered them yet. How much water should I give and should the water be PH'd? Tap water is probably 8. The root zones seems to indicate these should have been transplanted already. TIA.

I didn't see that at the hydro store. but didn't really get a chance to walk around the place. The staff was overly helpful. I said I'm just looking. "What are you looking for?" I asked about CoM and the clerk started rattling until I left.

The 3 gal pots are 9 inches tall from bottom to top of rim. I'm going to put perlite in the first two inches of the pot then 7 inches of 100% FFOF on top the perlite. This should help protect against over watering.

This store was still open. Whew. They did not have CoM in stock. The story was the "local store" has to buy it by pallets so only special order but the website shows everything that's available. . Went with the FFOF. Not that it means anything but I took the first two bags from a new pallet...

For some reason most of the hydro stores by me went out of business/closed the physical portions of their businesses but I found another that's supposed to be open. On the website of this store Coast of Maine seems to be in inventory. I figure I'll need 3 cu ft of soil for six 3 gal pots...

I dug up pics of the first place. Notice the soil bags along the back wall at the hydro store. .

So funny as I was grumbling on my way home thinking the same thing. "Hydro store for dirt. None of this even makes sense." But we read the other posts where people are pissing on plants to fend off PM so I must continue on. I'll have to find a new hydro store/garden center that carry...

The thing is the plants do look like something is wrong. Transplantation makes sense. So anyway before I went to the hydro store I tried testing my second LED fixture and it didn't turn on. I had it set up and the fixture illuminated last test. I open the back and unbelievably a wire flew...

Momentarily I'm headed to the hydro store looking for soil. The other day I saw this $WMT:

Just seed and dirt?

How did you determine too much light?

Today they turned seven weeks from seed drop. I think you might be right about transplant and I'll check into dirt today/tomorrow. Thanks. I'm thinking 3 gallon pots and have to see which soil brands the hydro shop carries.

The plants look darker green since turning up the light but still a little funky.. Should I go 100% with the light?

Think outside the box. While you try to fix the PM issues can you start some new seeds for an outdoor gorilla grow?

You'll spend weeks or maybe months on edge. Ditch these things and grow seeds from start. Short cuts don't work at this level. No offense.

Once I insulated the concrete floor PM stopped.

Raised light intensity to 41,000.
