i dont know about anyone doubting fox farms powders, the open sesame i think is a waste of money because if you follow FF they tell you to use it at the start of 12/12, my problem with that is the plant does not need all that phosphorous until 2 weeks into flower, the plants actually still need...

yes root rot can obliterate your plants in 48hrs, and is very demoalizing as your finding out now, my first time with it i got ir from being lazy and letting water temps rise in a cloner, the second time i had it i too used a fencepost system and left open a couple of plant sites, it didnt make...

so i guess theres a concensus that rockwool sucks, the Grodan company must spend major cash with high times because HT not once ever produced an article talking about the pitfalls of using slabs and blocks. if you want to do a mid-grow change caligirl, perhaps wait for roots to grow out the...

the main design flaw with the stinkbud system or fencepost nft is the drain back to the res, too many times people make cutouts that expopse running water to intense lighting. i prefer to run water temps no more than 68F and im sure you know by now above 74f is a problem. usually if a room with...

nah, but you see what i been getting at right? pump went out on you and its still soaking wet. whats going to end up happening is your roots are going to fill up that cube and you will see the RW get dry faster. did the plants have a big root system before you put them into the 6x6 blocks?

just PBP, fox famrms GH flora, BC dyna gro and earth juice have been tried. thats why i suggested the lucas, i know its much easier on plants plus he has 2 strains who clearly have different feeding habits, i think for general health of both strains the lucas would be a good fit. personally when...

yes this is why i recommend starting at a range you comfortable with whether it be 5.3 or 5.5 and let her drift up to no more than 6.5. the issues here is with salt build up in the media ph can go from 5.5 to 7.5 in 24hours. if your rootzone or res spends more time above 6.0 then thats no good...

bob, your plants look very nice, you should be very pleased with the BB blue cheese, its in my top 3 favorite strains of all time, you might never every see better bag apeal in your life! let her flower 10 weeks you have light greens, purples and white powder sugar crystals. the only thing is...

bro do you know what thread you are on? this is the ebb and grow thread, he has clay pellets in a flood and drain system helloooo. all those issues stem from using GH 3 part nutes and over watering, just a simple cut back in flood times will do. plus using a fraction of GH's recomended dosages...

thats one thing, people who run RW either got it or dont, what i mean is i seen the most perfect grows with the saltiest nutes and pure RW and wonder how you guys do it. i only use the stuff these days for cloning, i also prefer clay pellets and would rather feed more often because i would be...

kitty, i just took a look at your grow and i gotta say the rasta joint is bonkers. i need to know one thing, i run a few rooms and i swear by botanicares PBP line, i wanted to do a comparison using humboldts line, i was online all day lookin g the thier lineup and its so confusing. i would like...

tenbob and kitty....ahem but didnt i just say all that? =)

this is tricky since your only flooding once a day. when your roots get big naturally you will feed like 2-3 times daily in RW, your plants are most likely happy with once a day so to get a good flush go 2 days of plain water and try to flood 3 times each day. i would suggest you use the...

ya know what, i gotta give it up to fatman he knows too much tech stuff, because thinking back i tried technaflora nutes with hygrozyme and it stunk exactly like a wetdog and didnt know what it was, this makes total sense because i run botanicares PBP and thats 50/50 organic and it smells tasty...

ya know i like to PH down to 5.3 and let her ride all the way up to 6.2-6.3. i believe Phosphorous or magnesium is best available at 6.0, anyhows when i first started with water works i always tried my best on a daily basis to keep the PH perfect and from ignorance wondered why it just wont stay...

Relax TheLotusSeed, good thing you have friends here. tthis is the reason i hate flora series, but since you have them you should try running the lucas formula, it only requires you use micro and bloom nutes throughout the whole grow cycle, you can scratch the grow from your mix. look at this...

you dont need that specific hood, just any aircooled hood, they are enclosed with glass, bulb inside and sealed so you can attatch a high velecoty fan via duct to suck or blow the hot air out without sucking air out of your room, this will seriously help with heat issues as 1000watters get crazy...

hey GG i think i have a tidbit that pertains to you and your use of mollasses in soil. i got this info from some PHD on another site so bare with me. mike from advanced nutrients wnt on video to debunk the usage of high phosphorous use in hydroponics. his lab tests showed that in hydroponics...

how do you figure? if i am not mistaken you have a compressor that is made of metal and a condensor thats like a radiator, unless your housing is plastic i dont see how this is possible.

dude i dont think you should keep electrical equipment near your controller, i heard of floats failing because they are megnetic and metals and electronics near by is no good. just sayin i heard this
