TLDR: I was wondering if any of you reduce PPFD late in flower? Long version: The reason I'm asking has a bit to do with DLI and intensity of sunlight plants receive outdoors, BUT much more to do with the fact that my lower buds are actually finishing before my tops. I have tried reducing...

I got fungus gnats, root aphids, or soil mites, some combination of the three. At first I thought they were just fungus gnats but now I'm questioning myself. I managed to pluck a TINY crawler from the soil and it looks to me like a root aphid nymph or a soil mite, def not gnat larvae. But the...

Just got bud rot for the first time indoors. Running 45% RH, 80F daytime and 70F night time. 600CFM fan in a 4x4. 3 clip fans inside. didn't see this coming at all. what a kick in the nuts. stay vigilant my friends. i wish i know what caused it. temp/humidity/airflow all seemed great.

currently i have 6 qb96 on a frame with an hlg-600h-54b remotely wired, so the circuit is like 54v 11.8A the driver has about a 6' run to the frame, for which i used 14/2 cable (because its what i had). and when i ran a ground wire separately i only had 18awg solid wire. now i'm thinking the...

i went to the hydro store and the cheapest trays they had for my tent were 70 bucks i looked on amazon and the botanicare trays are 130 bucks this is the type of thing thats fucking out of control in this industry. its a plastic tray. i went to home depot and got one of the trays they put under...

i've only other done one or the other. say i have 4 vero chips, 70v each and i want to run all 4 off one driver maximizing the driver. but my heatsinks can only handle 75w each. the only solution i can think of is a hlg-240h-c1050b since forward voltage for one vero is ~70, two is ~140 (within...

wondering if anyone has seen this before and knows what it is? its only one one new growth on 1/6 plants. at first it looks like pest damage, but after some research i'm thinking possibly boron deficiency (from pH or under/overwater?) or just genetic weirdness? but i dunno ive never seen this...

Has anyone tried growing with these yet? specifically these: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Lumileds/L2C5-SPR11825G3200?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu4Prknbu83y0haVN0vvCk8iLQQTneyfzu0%252bkgjSP06ow%3d%3d looks interesting

Couldn't find much info on this strain but I wanted to grow it anyway. Thought I would share what I have learned here. I ordered a 5 pack of Nicole x Banana OG, 3/5 popped in 24 hours. Day 3: All 3 plants were topped on day 15: Day 20: Day 34: The plants grew very short and bushy as...

I had to go out of town for 5 days without anyone to water my plants. came back and medium was bone dry, pots were light as a feather, and one of them was browning. they were drinking their 5L in about 3-4 days so i figured an extra day wouldn't hurt. I'm wondering if this is a symptom of...

Hey Guys My roommate does inside sales for Henkel-Bergquist When he saw me working on my lights one day, he offered to get some samples of TIM for me. He also told me that Spectrum King orders gap pads from them, and that spectrum king uses...

looks like all their seeds are 20% off right now and free shipping on all orders

I've got one of three plants about 30 days from seed that is showing some weird color patterns/yellowing on the leaves. I don't think its a deficiency/bugs/pH because it has been there from the very beginning and I've taken measures against all of that. I've included a picture of the plant...
