I don't see any issues switching nutrient mid grow. You are growing in a solution of salt ions, doesn't matter who puts them in a bag or bottle.

I run 3 of the those boards in a 2X4 at 480W. I got 3 boards, the triple slate and a HLG 480h c2800b for around $300. Those boards do get fairly hot so I would advise to also using thermal compound to install them. I had to go back and add the compound when I hit the boards with IR thermometer.

Check agricultural suppliers in your area, they won't have the weed tax on peat blends. I was lucky to find one in my area that I didn't need to register a tax ID. I toss them cash and they drop the pallet on my truck.

I mixed my own for a couple years until a found a place that sells BM6 for $25 a bale. I did a bit research and found a paper by UCBerkeley that recommends 5% pulverized dolomite by weight be added to peat for container gardening. That was about 3 pounds per 4ft bale of peat. With the coco in...

Under the soil could be rot or infection.

When you get one stalk that keels over it's usually a borer grub. Look for a hole somewhere with sawdust and black droppings.

Neptunes Harvest isn't as bad as FiSh Sh!t for a stupid picture, but it's definitely more trendy than cost effective. When I did organics, I bought the 36 and 27 LB. espoma bags. Now I do Jack's start to finish and don't even bother with the epsom anymore.

No lime to buffer?

Ya, sure the driver has a MW sticker on it......but I bet the pcb looks like it was soldered by a seven year old sporting a pair of Bubbles glasses.

You will get both sides. I personally wouldn't bother. The main things that control soil pH are the microbes and lime in it. I have never noticed a pH drift in containers worth worrying about until after 6 months of use.

Mix in some DE as well, it doesn't kill the infestation, but it will slow it down.

It is completely normal, and you should be just fine. Liquid nutes are always acidic. Any good container mix will have enough dolomite to buffer a 5.6 feed without issue.

If he wants to flex on the poors growing in muddy cowshit.....I would suggest high pressure aeroponics. You need all sorts of fancy stuff like atomizers, solenoids, check valves, logic boards, micron filters, expensive pumps, manifolds and a lot of patience when all that stuff starts to malfunction.

I grow outdoors in peat mix, but I use a HP mix or I add enough perlite to the mix to make it almost impossible to overwater. Then when a heatwave hits, I cut the EC to about half and water 2-3 times a day. I run the garden veggies and herbage off a 1000L IBC with a timer and irrigation lines.

I tried Jack's this year without the epsom as well. 3.5 grams jacks-2 grams calnit and it works great on the garden veggies and the herb selection. I go for a sterile rez 2mg/L cal-hypo. I mix up a liter with 10 grams so it's easy to measure with a syringe.

What's the best way to clean and recondition one of the newer meters with the flush mount graphite electrodes?

Having fun on Clingstone was a success. My luck otherwise was horrible, I got cleaned out on the poker table, the rocks claimed numerous gear rigs and all I caught were a few bait size porgies.

My outdoor plants always drop some of the old large bottom fan leaves during transition time. If the top half of the plant looks fine I wouldn't worry about it.

The HOCL electrolysis is done separate and then added to the rez. At 2mg/L I'll stick with my Cal-Hypo
