    Reflective Mylar

    Now sir, I do feel you have taken my rebuttal as a personal attack, and for this I beg your defference. It is easy to assume that since you know so very much about growing weed and know so very much about reflectivity, I should not be trying to bang heads with you...I will surely lose. I was...

    If you are using tap water for your plants..

    Guess what....we are all gonna die. Guess what....it is going to suck for each and every one of us. Guess what....stress and worry are LEADING causes in health & wellnes and in disease & illness.....when I write a life policy, we do a stress assessment and if someone is found over 80 salient...

    RO water

    I called Culligan, and I have a rep coming over Monday AM. Starting at 25 a month up to 5K. I am looking into a whole house unit.......I am scared of my water....I only use it for showers and laundry, and that is because I have not had the $$$ for a full house unit, but I am thinking CREDIT and...

    RO water

    With the residue that is left behind from my tap, I would LOVE a whole house unit. I think my best bet is Culligan. My water is so full of carbonate that if you let a glass of water set out for about an hour, it will have a thin film of white on the glass that you have to scrub off. I know that...

    RO water

    Hey juggernaut, thanks much for the insight. My home water comes out at 448. I have gottne a full breakdown, and the calcium is way high. A DI system probably is not what I need. I am prepared to spend some bucks for an RO system. I had a cheap one, and my water was ppm 020 from it. I buy it now...

    RO water

    I had an eliminator RO system from a garden supply store, and I broke it. I currently buy Culligan RO water from wal-mart, but hate lugging 15 five gallon jugs in there every other week. I want to buy a good quality RO machine, but not spend an arm and a leg. Anyone have any good suggestions??

    Questions again...re: seeds

    I started right here on the growfaq....and I learned alot. it is hard to get help on here until you at least have a passing knowledge of the info in the growfaq. And the white widow is a wonderful smoke, and quite tasty. It is a little on the strong side sometimes for me, because I like to smoke...

    Reflective Mylar

    \ presumptive-based on presumption, probability, conjecture, hypothesis or belief I am 110% certain I said I used paint with a presumptive reflectivity of 85%. That means I presumed, hypothesised, conjectured, and assumed that it was probable that the 85% reflectivity I was told of was an...

    pH Meter

    WOW...I am sure post happy today!!! My first pH meter was a Milwaukee PH Meter for 20 bucks. It lasted a few weeks and the display went out. I bought a Hanna Champ from HTG supply. It lasted 3 months and then stopped holding calibration, and then the calibration screw stopped turning. HTG...

    Little bit of nute burn

    For those who care.....I did not nute burn a plant at 300 ppm. My wife just admitted that when she went to add pH down (per my request) to the res some dripped on that little girl.....burning her. I really though that 300ppm was way low to burn any plant...especially when the other 6 didn't...

    Reflective Mylar

    I like mylar. $17.95 for 50 feet. I used elastomeric paint in the beginning...with a presumptive reflectivity of 85%. I switched to mylar and I guarantee I increased reflectivity 25%...it is amazing. However...I got some surfacant (fungicide disinfectant) onto the mylar (I use it on the wall...

    so, how often do YOU water your hydro garden?

    I use 3" rockwool cubes in a nursery pot of hydroton....I flood my table 3x daily for 15 mins during veg (lights on from 7am to 1am...flood at 8, 4 and 8) and 2x daily for 15 mins during flower (lights on 6 am to 6pm....flood at 6:30 and 5:30). Works for me, although many say I should flood less...
