What can i say, touch screen phones are utter shite, biggest fad of the decade. That said only 1 word was wrong (cannabis instead of canna) and makes perfect sense to me :lol: was just wondering whether you include canna boost and canna pk13/14 when you say that there is no need for the snake oil products, and that nutrients like canna are fine.

Al, if you are still around, judging by the pic do you think I can add another unit to this flower setup whilst still burning only 3 lights? Here I have 2 600 HPS flanking a 1000 MH. I have another light, I'm just reluctant to increase my power consumption. The crops are currently 3 weeks apart. With another I can accelerate the pace of harvests.

And don't say anything about my mothers. I'm very soft-hearted about them and find it difficult to not let them reach their full potential. Growing up past the lights is style point reduction, I know . . . Having a 4th tub would help with that too, since I would need more cuts!

Hey shnkman , I am in the process of rebuilding my set up and building the same setup you have room size and everything other than I am running 5 gal buckets x4 with 4 plants each. What kind of weight are you getting using both spectrum's and do you have Co2? Thanks man and your grow kicks ass.:clap:

no CO2. It's definitely not a sealed environment, lol. This round is actually the first time I've had dual spectrum going. I bought that light for a big veg table, but it ended up turning my mothers into trees :D. But with straight HPS, running Chronic or White Russian I get an ounce+ per plant. A couple other things I've run, somewhat less. I'm still working on what the optimal number of plants is. I went from10 to 12 and now I can stuff 17 5 inch pots max in one of those units, and that's where I'm at. If I can still pull an ounce a plant with 17 in there I'll feel like I've exceeded my goal.

I think Al may have left the buildling . . . .

Im with Tip top,,, I decided on Humboldt nutes (not humboldt county!), and I had better add the " extra sauce" because the part a&b are incomplete nutes for complete growing, its designed that way, unlike Gh floranova,,, sufficient for a complete grow... So, as I agree most nutes are complete, but a few, adding all the extras are a must.... otherwise you will have deficiencies.. Al, I read you like the h202, but I ran across brown algae, even at higher rates than you recommended, the h202 just fed them so they grew more, additional h202 in the amount to kill off the algae would more than likely killed off the plant also, I switched to bennies and a nute that uses amino acids and my plants love it.... There is a thread on here started by heisenburg about beneficial bacteria and the benefits your plant will have, just use nutes that dont have high salts, they will kill the bennies... Im a believer ....

Umm... (where to begin?)

There are 2 types of hydro nutrients. Organic and inorganic. To use H2O2 you need to have a completely inorganic system. Otherwise the H2O2 will just destroy the beneficial bacteria and other organic compounds and be rendered completely ineffective. So, you are talking about 2 different systems.

It is easy to understand why the H2O2 did not work for you. Good luck with your organic grow.

I just finished reading this entire thread, great stuff Al! It's refreshing to see someone speaking from their experience rather than just passing down more forum rumors from inexperienced growers.

My question is about top heavy plants that end up falling over or even worse snapping branches off due to massive colas. I never had this problem in soil but in my 3 hydro grows it has been a huge problem for me. Tying them up with strings has been my only solution so far but its a major inconvenience due to the fact I need to be able to move my dwc buckets around in order to water and feed the plants in the rear of my room. I'm thinking about building tomato cages onto my bucket lids for my next grow... Any other suggestions???

anyone know if sensi 2 part of AN is organic?

Al, I've seen you talk about this before and answered a question of mine a while back. But wanted to touch base with ya again on this.

What are your thoughts on running a centrifugal vertically? I run a generic brand from HTGSUPPLY 170 CFM with a carbon filter on the inlet on the garden side of the room. Room size is 462 cubic feet with passive venting. I was going to try to devise a way to test pressure or airflow on a vertical versus horizontal installation of the fan. These types of fan design to be mounted facing up at all? Any ideas on what means I could test this. I don't have access to an hvac fancy testing device.
Thanks
