The ballast will come pre-wired to fit most lamp sockets. Lumatek includes an adapter with their ballasts to adapt to different lamp manufacturers. For example, a Lumatek ballast and a Sunlight Supply lamp fixture will require an adapter because the two manufacturers use different sockets...

600w > 400w - You'll see during the flowering Sunleaves Rocks > Hydroton - No six week rinsing required before using them. The plants will tell you a lot more than a feeding chart.

I always did it before the sun went down (no particular reason, just picked a time of day.) The next morning, they were standing right back up and ready to grow their new stuff.

Unfortunately, with a RO system, you get what you pay for. The biggest problem that you will find with the low end setups is an improper filter selection. Let's start from the beginning. Particulate filters: These remove sediments down to whatever they are rated (either nominal or absolute.)...

300 pages on how to make a single cut to a plant.....amusing for sure.

Papaya - Despite the silly name and the "reviews", it tastes absolutely nothing like a papaya (or a mango.) Super fast acting stuff!! Master Kush - Any time of day stuff. No catatonic freeze, no 1/2 hour buzz. Aurora Indica - When you just don't want to dilly around with toking up. Pass...

Four of mine hit the lights when I went on vacation. All have recovered. Although some of the fan leaves looked a little burned, the plant didn't drop 'em and I didn't cut 'em.

The nice lady at the store gave me a sample bottle of Grow. All of my indoor houseplants (non-cannabis) loved this stuff. The next year, I bought a bottle of grow and a bottle of bloom. The outdoor plants could not have possibly looked any healthier.

Subscribed. Your technique is very similar to mine (although I seem to be much better at hanging mylar than you!!)

Some of those digital timers have batteries in them so they can keep the time if the power goes out. Anyone care to guess what happens when the batteries die??? Double or nothing if you can guess what happens if that particular failed timer is connected to the flood pump.

The higher end aquarium heaters are not glass, but stainless steel (they call them "titanium" for some less than honest reason.) This is good because you can put them at the bottom of the reservoir and they stay there; fully submersed. If your bucket is 1/4 empty, or 3/4 empty, the unit is...

My unit wastes exactly 4 gallons for every 1 gallon of RO water. Since I have to pay for this water (whether or not I actually use it) I put the drain line into my washing machine. Other than the water being a little "hard", it is filtered to 0.2 microns and completely chlorine free. To...

Yessir, those lab grade pH probes are not cheap; they are also not inexpensive. As I stated, I don't own one. I have had the chance to use them, used them, and have no more need. I'm very practical; if a nutrient solution does not maintain the proper pH, I don't use it. On the COM-100, I...

I'll start with pH meters. Obviously, you have already worked with and have first hand experience with hobby grade pH meters. $100 meters aren't worth $100. I don't know your price range or how much emphasis you put on pH. I don't like to spend other people's money, and you will spend...

There are several sources online where you can obtain laboratory grade pH meters. I am not stressing that you need one of these; I don't own one (I have access to them all day.) Just be aware that there are some places that will not sell you their equipment unless you are a licensed...

I said it because I read it? You're a funny guy. Did I read it on Fox News? I'm adding the same nutes as tap water?? What is the nutrient content of your tap water? NPK will suffice, but go ahead and throw in the Ca and Mg just to shut me up. If I evaporate the tap water until I reach...

Bling Bling for your plants, eh?? Sounds like a great new product for the unwashed, uninformed grower.

Actually, it is true. Some items just have less "pixie dust" than others; PD is a hot commodity in these troubling times. Prices keep skyrocketing!!

You cannot measure the pH of RO water accurately (not with a hobby grade ph meter), because most of the carbonates have been removed (there is nothing to "buffer" the pH.) Additional Ca and Mg should be supplemented as they are definitely removed by RO filtration. Using RO water allows you...

I can tell that Bloombastic is less interested in marketing and completely focused on plant science, because there is a cartoon girl on the bottle with large breasts. I will say you should add it. Apparently, the folks that make Bloombastic are so up to date on botany that they have unlocked...
