not a soooo, kinda thing Epsom & Gypsum add sulfur, makes a huge difference !!!to each there own man ... i get good results with it soooooo...
You spent multiple times what you needed to on a product, that is enough to make you a sucker in my book.how am i a fuckin sucker ??? look i get right at a pound a run from 600w GFYS
always between 15 and 17oz
i'm happy with my grows, i get ROCKIN results ... so no skin off my ass on your opinions .. i know what works and what dont.. and not all calmag is created equal either .. but hey have fun, i'm done now.You spent multiple times what you needed to on a product, that is enough to make you a sucker in my book.
Either option gets you the same results, except the extra cash in your pocket.
I'm not trying to be mean, just driven nuts by seeing that same bad decision (imho) repeated over and over and over on here.
lol so people who use tap water are smoking fluoride?yea exactly .. use RO and add calmag .... tap has a ton of garbage that ya dont wanna smoke LOL chlorine, lithium, flouride, ect..........
So we smoke the nutes now?? Is that how this works??if your local water dds flouride to the water .. then i would think yes, they thrive on the water and its a tds so yea it goes to the plants .... unless you use your own RO filter system that catchs the flouride. you can get a water sheet from your local water service to see whats in you tap water.
Always keep the light as close to the canopy as possible, but obviously far enough away that it wont burn. An air cooled 600 watt lamp could easily be as close as 6-8 inches away from the lens. Light gets exponentially less intense the further away it travels from a fixed point source (which an HID lamp is). That is the basis of the inverse square law. By keeping your light on the ceiling at all times you're wasting a lot of it.Grow room: 3*3*6 tent, and four plants total would make one plant per 2.25 square foot.
Lighting previously non-branded 400W HPS, now 600W CoolTube. I keep the light as close to the roof as I can since it's connected to the exhaust fan. Shouldn't matter too much.
Normally I veg the plants to some 2 feet in height. During flowering they easily triple their height, growing relatively close to the light.
Tapwater in town is said to have a pH of 8.0 a hardness of 9.3 dH.
I'm very sorry but I still don't want to share pictures.
How do you know what he spent, what he needed? Why concern yourself with his cash, anyways?You spent multiple times what you needed to on a product, that is enough to make you a sucker in my book.

You guys realize the OP is doing hydro, right? You realize everyone has different needs and ways of growing here? Why concern yourself with the products other people use, or what they choose to spend their money on? Especially something as common and petty as Cal-Mag products.not a soooo, kinda thing Epsom & Gypsum add sulfur, makes a huge difference !!!
Nullis, you're a mod and I'm not arguing, wasn't bangin on the OP either, just sharing a fact, sulfur feeds trics, and all of my research indicated no toxicity problems using sulfates, I have been givin my girls sulfates in 5 different forms and have quadrupled tric production, tis a fact I am trying to share with the communityHow do you know what he spent, what he needed? Why concern yourself with his cash, anyways?

Some people don't need them. Some people don't. If you're growing in soil or some kinds of soil-less media, you probably don't need it. If you have hard tap water (which is hard because it has a mineral content), you probably don't it. However, if you use really clean water (RO, multi-stage filtered, bottled, distilled, rain) and/or are doing hydroponics then guess what: it does actually serve a purpose.
Gypsum, for one thing, can be a bitch to dissolve or keep dissolved in water. There is also a such thing as too much available sulfur. Sulfate is an anion and it does compete with other anions for uptake, most notably nitrate and molybdate. Some growers use epsom salt along with CalMag products.
I think it's a fair assumption he paid about going rate, and google told me that number.How do you know what he spent?
Because that is one of the reason we come here, to get advice on how to improve our systems or save money. And the bud porn of course.Why concern yourself with his cash, anways?
To me that is the whole point of places like rollitup. Share helpful knowledge. Saving money is helpful, growing more weed is helpful. Why wouldn't you want that help or want to give it. Both side are enjoyable if you aren't a stubborn emotional thinker.Why concern yourself with the products other people use, or what they choose to spend their money on?
Calcium Sulfate will dissolve without issue.Gypsum, for one thing, can be a bitch to dissolve or keep dissolved in water.
If you need both CalMag and epsom you have something screwed up. You can have too much of anything, shouldn't be an issue with the levels of Calcium Sulfate and Magnesium Sulfate you would be using, unless you have some wacky nutes loaded with sulfur.There is also a such thing as too much available sulfur.

No more screwed up than your presumptions and pious sense of self worth.If you need both CalMag and epsom you have something screwed up.

Wow, I think the Mod just crossed the line.No more screwed up than your presumptions and pious sense of self worth.
E.g. I barely use nutrients.
You tricked me with the foliar part. If you put both CalMag and Epsom in a res, you are generally asking for trouble.And if you can't pull your head out of your ass for long enough to realize that you don't know what all everybody does or why or when or who really is the "stubborn emotional thinker": that is your own issue.
That is odd, because I don't do it the way I'm recommending. I don't need to, my water has what I need for both calcium and magnesium. I've never added either Calcium Sulfate or Epsom to my res. It would seem you are the one making false assumptions.You have the "way I do" tunnel vision that prevents you from making assumptions about other members and the way they do (the fact that different people do different things for different reasons). Talk about being a stubborn emotional thinker. Don't get all offended just because I try to point this out.
Meanwhile, you're essentially attacking others in ludicrous fashion over their methods (e.g. products used) when you couldn't possibly even know much about them, or even what they spend on their grow. Sorry, Google tells you exactly what products a person uses along with exactly how much they paid for that product, dose/frequency of use, etc? Then Google also tells you the total cost of their grow and their yield?
Fuck CalMag. I'm so sick of that stupid waste of money product. Epsom + Calcium Sulfate if you really have to add them back in.
You spent multiple times what you needed to on a product, that is enough to make you a sucker in my book.

Good for you, and your water. Keep practicing as you preach, though, I mean... er...That is odd, because I don't do it the way I'm recommending.
