Cool. Check out realgrowers Recharge on Amazon. Its got mycorrhizae, bacteria, fungi, tricoderma, humic, fulvic, powdered molasses, aminos and more. The best all-in-one bio-supplement you will find. Organic too.

The tech talks are on Greengeen's Youtube channel. they don't do them any more. Gene and gm5 are both on the Grower's Roundtable each Friday night though, with some tech talk along with different grow topics each week.

Well I'm not looking to argue with anyone :) But I'll just leave you with this thought: Buffering just stops the ph from moving around. A stabilized GOOD ph is what you want (around 5.8 ) A stabilized BAD ph is not. Bonne chance mon ami.

Hi there, thanks for the update. Just wondering about the h2o2... If you're using an organic soil, the whole idea is that the soil microbes break down the organics in the soil and then release the nutrients to the plant (a symbiotic relationship). But h2o2 kills the microbes and sterilizes...

Well the bottom picture does look better,I guess some of what I was seeing was transplant shock, but there are still some bad signs. If you do nothing else, fix your ph. You should keep it between 5.6 and 6.2. When it is low like 4.6 the plants cannot absorb all their nutrients.

Well friend, I hate to say this to you, but I don't think this is going to work out well for you :(. Those nutrients are not complete. You have no molybdenum, cobalt, or sulpher and the calcium and magnesium levels are half or even less what you want for ideal growth. The plants look like...

Prob just your bennies. I brew microbial tea each week that is pitch black and add a couple gallons to my netpots, it stains the roots brown and there's always some funky colonies hanging out down there. As long as you've got lots of oxygen, don't worry, just let them do their work. IMO, If...

Dude if you want to learn coco, spend a couple days watching VaderOG on youtube, you will learn everything you need to know. He also (imo) has set the standard for grow videos over the years. Also if you mix anything with coco (other than a small amount of lets say worm castings or other...

Yes I would add back nutrient. It sounds like your last 3 days the plant will be deficient in nutrients. A cheap ppm meter will tell you what amount you should be adding. I have a plain water bucket and a bucket premixed with 1000ppm+ nutrient. I like to keep the ppm fairly stable daily...

When ph is swinging a lot like that, don't just bring it down to your target, bring it further down, like in the low 5's, that way it will spend more time in the middle zone. There are some things that uptake better at lower ph, and some things at higher ph. 5.8 is just a compromise, not the...

If you could find a fert without calcium you'd be all set, you'd just have to add a bit of magnesium sulfate (as there would prob me no magnesium either). There are a lot of soluble powders with micros but without cal/mag. For now I would add back to your solution, maybe bring it up 40-50 ppm...

Those 2 pictures you just showed, which plants are which if I compare to the second set you showed on the last page? Also what nutrient are you using? I think firsttimeARE had it spot on with his chart. Calcium is tricky and too much of it will lock out almost everything else. There's a...

If you're growing in soil, not a great idea imo, the h2o2 will destroy your soil microbes. I'll copy something I wrote about this topic in another thread: products containing BTI (Bacillus Thuringiensis Israeliensis), such as Mosquito Dunks (Mosquitos and fungus gnats are related) is the key...

It might just be my imagination, its difficult to tell without being there. New growth is usually a bit lighter. If it stays really light as it grows out, then you know there's a problem. There's no sense changing anything, just keep that hydroten wet :) Yeah that second could be a dud we've...

NOTHING. That one with the philips bulb is a hell of a deal. There are several horizontal reflectors on the market, and many people swear by them. I'm guessing your test was between a decent vertical reflector and a shitty horizontal reflector. Also the footprint that the reflector covers...

Hmmm... I can't imagine how those little things have even begun to use up the 15 gal. What worries me is the lightness of the new growth and the twisting in the second plant. It looks like the result of ph imbalances. Have there been any wild swings, and have you calibrated your meter recently?

Your new growth seems deficient in something. How many days since you changed your solution? When you subtract the ph adjustments, the cal-mg and your base ppm, you didn't have a lot of base nutes, and you may have gone through most of them, or some important mironutrient. What"s your ppm now?

Hey bro, no need to stay in the closet these days, its safe for everyone.

It certainly can stay in there and grow, you would basically be running a combo aeroponics/dwc. The problem is that the roots will continue to grow and you will have a difficult time transferring them without damaging them, pruning them, or just having a giant clump of roots in the middle of...

Put a float valve in the small rez, run a 1/4 inch line to a larger elevated rez. Simple, gravity fed, cheap.
