I'm about to order from A51 at http://a51led.com/ and I wanted to verify that this is the real site address. I looked at the sticky for mfgrs here and I didn't even see them listed. You can only buy using paypal so I wanted to validate this address.
Also, if you think I'm making a mistake...
I use the CocoTek bricks and don't rinse. Just hydrate with nutrient solution and add 25% perlite. Someone was asking about organic coco, General Organics works great for this although some don't consider it true organics (particularly the camg+). FYI -- I've done with and without perlite and...
Unfortunately, wind is not considered viable where I am. I looked into some residential wind kits and they are very expensive compared to their potential in my area. I would be better off spending the money on more panels and batteries. We do have a small creek, but it's fed by a very small...
I'm moving to a remote location that is subject to hot humid summers and freezing during the winters. The power company wants 20K (not kidding) just to run the lines to my property. I'm seriously considering going stand-alone solar, especially given the fact that I can get a 30% tax credit for...
FYI -- I just had to make the same repair on another of my BS240s. I probably should order some LEDs. I've just been bypassing the one that's out by soddering in a staple, lol.
Yes, per gallon. I forgot to mention that if you are using RO water this will come out at 5.8 and you won't need a PH or PPM device. I have no idea how this would work with DWC. I used regular coco in Smart pots.
I've been using essentially the same coco for almost two years now. The grows keep getting better and better. I don't rinse or do anything between grows. I'm also using GO nutes, though.
I have severe (level 4) allergies to other things like ragweed pollen, fire ants, roach crap (not kidding). I've noticed that where my arms brush my sativa dom plants I get itchy and sometimes get little bumps.
I haven't gotten to smoke in 3 months (have a drug testing coming), but I'm curious...
You can keep rapid rooters too wet. I use them in Burpee self-watering coco starter trays to keep just the right amount of moisture. You really can't beat them for cloning, IMO. I start my seeds in them too, but I don't think they are as important for seeds. I get a little green algae on the...
I'm in week 4 of flower in 5g pots and i'm giving them a gallon every other day which results in slight runoff. I recently put in a bottom drain in my room so I can appreciate not wanting to have a big mess. Having the drain is really nice. Draining to waste with every watering has really got...
I'm not familiar with advanced nutrients, but if you haven't been adding micro nutrients, then yes, dilute the res or do a res change and put in a balanced mix of nutrients to proper ppm and PH.
