I'm always around lol. This thread just isn't what I thought it would be for a sticky, no disrespect.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any information in this thread and within the forum for that matter. Whether the grow is successful or not, it serves the community. But I still think people dropping G's on these things based on what's seen on this forum is just crazy. I'm going to...

Nice post Hyroot! Listened to it on my commute, good stuff. Anyone check his book out?

He does make a valid point I think regarding yield. But I don't think we should even be discussing yield for LED's relating to commercial growing (i.e. panels paying for themselves in superior yield in one grow). I haven't seen a commercial grow yet from start to finish with LED's, and I've...

This sounds oh so familiar lol. I use the same approach, mostly organic, with a little cheating ;) 500ppm of all purpose/bloom combo with some cal mag now and again seems to be pushing them a little harder. As long as I inoculate and keep feeding the herd with some sweets they seem to continue...

Doh! Fell quite a bit short, but that sure is some nice looking smoke Dawg. I'm just finishing some C99 myself and I must say that I already love it. After one run, I don't think C99 is your best bet to go for a big yield. Have you thought about an AK run or something that throws bigger...

She needs somethin' Dank, but I'm not thinking attitude adjustment :fire:

Are you still trimming that monster? lol

Ahhh yes. EC=PPM/500 or PPM=ECx500. That is weird as hell that the meters use different conversions? I suppose at the end of the day EC is the appropriate standard and PPM is an approximation based off the EC, so it seems its somewhat objective..... Or something LOL. Bass see link. I'm sure...

PPM=EC/2 Is that right?

You guys are confusing the hell out of me here lol. One second we're talking ppm's then we're talking about a PH pen. EC meter measures PPM, PH pen measures PH. I store my EC meter dry and calibrate every few uses (don't use that often either). I store my PH pen in alternating each use...

I love using teas, but cleaning sucks. I don't just use molasses. No, my personality just wouldn't settle for that, LOL. I have to inoculate with a variety of different ingredients which makes a nasty mess and requires more cleaning and maintenance. Shit on my airstones/hoses, shitty nylons...

Interesting! What volumes are you adding? I've never heard of anyone adding chlorine to their res or to their clones. I'm assuming the doses are very small? I can't imagine small doses of chlorine would really effect plants all that much, unless you're growing 100% organically and not...

My EC meter is stored dry, I calibrate using 1000ppm solution which I bought from the grow store for a few bucks. A bottle will last you a looooong time. Adjusting mine is done by tiny adjustments of a micro flat head screwdriver. If you've gone through as many cheap PH pens as I have you have...

Its widely thought that leaving your water sit for 24 hours will evaporate chlorine. So what you're seeing could, and hopefully be just that. Do you calibrate your meter regularly? How many readings did you take each time? I always take two or three readings myself just to make sure. Seems...

I wish we would have had this conversation a week ago :shock:

I think those are outstanding suggestions to get started hyroot. But PH test stat!

No drama from this lad, tomAto tomahhthh-to. I would also love to try different ratios of all of the Peters stuff. It would be a fun experiment if one had the time and space lol. I'm mostly an organic grower so I use very little nutes, usually around 500ppm (maybe 600 w/ cal mag...

PH range is good? What are you using for a pump now? i thought I remembered you saying you didn't think your pump was strong enough? What are you using for an air stone? Ol' faithful! I'm not a hydro guy, just thinking out loud. I know when I made teas it was always better to go big or go...

I heard you were growing some dank weed in this thread. I like weed. You mind if I follow?
