    weird genetics?

    This is the oddball again you can see the diameter of the main stem get much larger after the first few inches.

    weird genetics?

    Germinated at the same time the plant on the left is the oddball. Same placement under light.

    weird genetics?

    So what's going on here? I went to start to train my plants for the first time last night and I came across one oddball. The stem is hollow! I went to apply pressure and it snapped like a piece of celery or something. Through the Crack you can see (and feel) that there is almost no support (when...

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    ^I was thinking this to, it'd have to have like an anti microbial film on it. Probably not the best thing for plants. You can't kill endospores without crazy equiptment or dangerous chemicals. Without killing endospores you aren't sterilization anything

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    It said it provides enzymes that are beneficial. I would assume that the enzymes still break up whatever they are supposed to regardless of media. I'd bet it has a very high ratio of enzymes to bacteria... just my semi educated guess. If I ignored the slime build up in my water supply what...

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    Hydroguard expires after 6 months. Hth sounds like a pretty good route for me, I can't imagine ever needing more using .15g at a time haha.

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    It's not getting hit with any high intensity but there's like a 20w CFL in my closet that I basically never turn off. I didn't think it was intense enough, but turning off the light is probably a good place to start....

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    What bugs did you use? I put some mycorrhizae spores in the tank but that's it. Obviously mycorrhizae won't inhibit bacteria tho.

    keeping reservoir bacteria free

    This seems like the right category to post this in but if not please let me know and I'll move it. I created a small reservoir with a plastic tub. My goal is to store a fair amount of water so I don't need to wait for my super slow ro filter. I filled the tub with water and placed a waterpump in...

    How much Supplemental light?

    Picture bump. So I don't think this is a quality chip, but my point stands, why would I run 1,3,and 5w when I could buy something like this. http://www.fcopto.com/portfolio-view/apollo-2400/

    How much Supplemental light?

    do you mean in addition to your leds? or you switched back to hps?

    How much Supplemental light?

    isnt the fact that these leds are only 3 and 5 watts the very reason why retail units are not recommended when compared to COBs? Sorry for all the questions but i want to learn, it wont be a wasted effort. :) I have a 600w HPS i could toss in there but its big, heavy, expensive and HOT. im...

    How much Supplemental light?

    The Cree chips I was looking at seem to range from 50w to 100w. Why would I run a 5w? wouldnt a 50w do much better with penetration? I was looking at previous posts and people seem to hate on Kind and blue/red light in general. So I was wondering how much power I should have in Cobs to...

    How much Supplemental light?

    So seince my last post you guys have convinced me that COBs are the way to go and after looking into it a little bit more i definately agree. I got a really good deal on a Kind k5 xl 750 so thats going to be my primary light source. How much additional light do i need to add in COBs to maximize...

    Help me decide on LED

    If I had a single hobby I could buy preassembled I would be so happy. This question may be best answered with a link to somewhere. But. It is my understanding that leds output light exponentially when you increase power. With that in mind what is the recommended wattage percent to run it both...

    Help me decide on LED

    If there is something I need to read please link it. Im willing to put in the effort to make my own decision I just need to know I am making the best decision for my situation. And not getting sold on some gimmick - like adjustable from your phone.

    Help me decide on LED

    okay so are you saying that COB > all other leds? why? The sol9 i mentioned earlier uses 9 100watt COBs. Is this unit also better than all other non-COB leds? I keep seeing Cobs have a very high rate of failure especially in models with high wattage input. Edit- I see from a previous post...

    Help me decide on LED

    I woulda liked your post if i could find the button haha. Yes I see you mentioned COB being better but i dont understand how. That heliospectra is only 1,000$ and outputs 862 nanomol at 1.7ft tastyleds top model is $700 and outputs 150 nanomol at (2ft?) both units use full spectrum light...

    Help me decide on LED

    thanks didnt know that. that helps. Im also very interested in bad manufactures. It would be nice to see if theres an aspect to instantly tell if a product is even worth reading about. in car audio if the fuses are less than 1/10 of power output they are lying. some rule of thumb like that.
