    lumatek or quantum E-ballast

    Just a side-note Im not sure anyone has touched on, but I noticed with my dimmable ballast (600w Quantum-but Lumatek is awesome also) that the color spectrums of the bulbs change with each setting and saw significant decrease in plant response and not much decrease in heat with lower settings...

    Question for the experts.

    I wish it was that easy. Im way out in BFE and cant get clones. I have to go through countless seeds looking for something to keep. Im mainly asking b/c a grow buddy from the pacific northwest says he likes the Arcata Trainwreck because it DOES self-pollinate and HE likes the seeds it produces...

    Question for the experts.

    Well, a naturally occuring hermie is what Im meaning then. I had a couple clones I got a single seed out of and found a few stamens after trimming. They werent full blown hermies, just selfed late in flower.

    Question for the experts.

    Ok, cool. So to elaborate a little on the question, whats odds of hermies with the fem seeds? Will they all carry the trait?

    Question for the experts.

    I have came across some conflicting information recently and was hoping someone could provide me with the facts once and for all. I have always read and been told that late flower,self-pollinated seeds would be hermies. Now, I know that at least some will be hermie since mom was, but is there a...

    My DG Bloom has some chunks also and works great regardless. Are you still ph'ing first?

    8K Watt DYNAGRO Multi-Strain/Perpetual

    Fixing it will happen when you fix the ph problem. A trait of lockout is low ppm burning or what appears to be anyways. You really shouldnt have salt buildup with low ppm DG but it usually happens when your ph stays high or low for some time. Im not really seeing anything obvious that would...

    Vegging with t-5HO

    Sweet!!! Thats awesome man! I really do love mine. Im just running a couple tek two compacts, but 10,000 lumens in a 2 sq. ft unit is nice. Thats actually what I was hoping to hear. I was wanting to see what would happen if I hung them higher, but didnt want to make a mistake by doing so. What...

    Vegging with t-5HO

    Im curious what everyones opinion is on light distance from the plants for best growth? I keep my lights close, but do I really need to? I know intensity makes a huge difference, but is there a limit to how much is actually used and the rest wasted? I mostly read 2 inches but found some like 8...

    8K Watt DYNAGRO Multi-Strain/Perpetual

    I said in my last post the deficiencies are from nute lockout caused by the ph fluctuations. Thats easy. The hard part is still why you are having ph issues to start with. Well water with a ppm of 60 and a ph of 9 could be a place to start. Have you had your water tested? maybe DG dont like...

    8K Watt DYNAGRO Multi-Strain/Perpetual

    Take it back and get a new bottle. I bet its an old expired bottle then. Dynagro has been really good to me. If its not expired, I really dont know what else would be wrong. I had those issues with an old bottle of fox farm grow big recently then switched to DG and things got better. Does it...

    8K Watt DYNAGRO Multi-Strain/Perpetual

    Cool. Thats what I do. I wouldnt always believe what you read in a bible. Every nute company says to add nutes first, then additives then ph last. Reading your bible is your biggest sin here. LOL Do it however you think is right, but I believe ph'ing first may by your problem.

    8K Watt DYNAGRO Multi-Strain/Perpetual

    I dont use protek or r/o and Im on a well and I dont have any issues with burning or ph. Very healthy roots and lush, green plants. Nothing added, DynaGro Bloom only. I dont even check ppm, just 1 cap full per gallon and never any problems. Im using a 5 gal DWC bucket also. What do you adjust...

    bit of help please!

    Looks like either over-watered or needs nutes asap. Thats a lot of plant for not feeding.

    Firecracker buds?

    Thats actually kinda a relief. Ive taken care of the bug problem, but was concerned about using the pesticide again if it contained metals. Im happy to know it dont. Water curing helped with the exploding at least. Thanks BUDS!

    Firecracker buds?

    What happened is my cousin brought me some plants a couple months ago and he just digs up dirt from outside, so I got thrips. By the time I figured out what the problem was, I had an infestation. There isnt any hydro shops around so Lowes was the only place I found an organic pesticide for...

    Design advice needed

    Ok. But I cant visualize how an NFT tube would work over multiple levels without dams. I thought the flooded tube was NFT to begin with. Would you care to describe your new setup, please?
