In future your better off soaking the coco in ph'd water first mate for a day or 2, dude I know does that with his coco.

yeh thats what i do,, i get it in bricks so at the start i use a big bucket of ph's water to break them down and job done,,as far as i was aware thats all i need to ph all thru with the coco bin a bufer an all

it hink possibley ive found the PE amongst them too

the tt100 fans are ok for short term they have nylon bearings and start to whine after a while, and when coupled to a 4'' filter i dont think they draw enough air through the filter, your better going for a cheap rvk imo,

Yeah coco is classed as hydro dude, you need to be pH'ing every watering, it will drift.

You thought about making super coco?

 

[drgrowshit]

yeh i think its more vibration noice with mine,,was yours like a grey colou in the shape of a orb?[/QUOTE]

yep same one

i thought just start phing my feed from now and il be golden,,
or i gott flush each plant? then start fresh? really? FUK

Well no because if your coco PH is (for example) 7 then putting it IN at the correct 5.8 is gonna take fucking aaaages to fix (not before the plant finishes).

I would put it in at the correct 5.8 and see what your run off comes out at, your best bet then is just to put all future water in according to how much the coco needs adjusting and just hang in until the end.

Next time round do it properly and you'll see the difference from day 1.

In my opinion proper medium PH is THE most important factor in growing good cannabis, sure you can grow bud without proper PH but it certainly won't be what it should be.

Don I was watering the girls a couple of days ago and the girlfriend says she reckons the big bush smells like Rhubarb!

I don't myself but she has the nose of a customs beagle.

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Yeah very true that yorkie, its something like every .1 up the scale is like 100 times the differece if memory serves me right.

 

[drgrowshit]

has anyone got good info on plant magic plus cant find any real good info?

Nice to know, I was wondering why my TT125 doesn't sound as quite as when I first got it. I have to slide the wiring block part round into a particular position to stop the slightly uneven spin rattle.

I use plant magic nutes and love the stuff.

Hmmm.....so based on that our PH pens that move in increments of 0.1 are just not accurate enough, we maybe need pens that move in increments of 0.001? (something for the Chinese to think about there!).

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Well im about 4 weeks in, cant help but think i should be a bit further along but i often think that lmao, had to take them out then tent to raise up the multi duct a bit. I dont move the lights as i want a straight duct line so rasing the plants is how i do things. Gonna give these gals a proper ripen feed this time and see what difference that makes.

I rememeber reading that shizz on some hydro website. Best detailed ph info read ive found was by some proffessor boffin lol. When i was learning hydro i quickly found out to avoid grow forums for advice as there is far too much conflicting info flying about. I also looked at what the pro commercial guys do (veggie grows) and use if its good enough for them its good enough for me. Found some great info from thos guys on root rot and such and how they deal with it.

depends where your venting out of man, i use an airbrick but the chimney flu is your best option, doesn't look suspect at all but you'll need to tap into the flu either in the house or the loft which is a bit of a give away for anyone poking around.

my chimney was removed just before it went out of the roof when we had gas put it. im venting straight out of a wall vent at the back bedroom of my house. the light comes on at 7:30 so it should'nt be a problem with neighbours but the helicopters would be able to see it plain lol

The best paper on pH I've read is "The pH Manifesto"

Source is HERE

Cant get much more detailed IMO

 

[batf1nk]

The pH scale is logarithmic; that is, each whole number increment indicates a tenfold difference. Thus, pH 4 is 10 times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times more acidic than pH 6

And this is why I 'Brita Filter' my water, next on my list of toys is an RO filter.
