I’ve been growing for a couple years now so I have some degree of experience under my belt, but I wouldn’t call myself exceedingly knowledgeable. What I have noticed is my plants tend to start showing increasing photosensitivity late in flower starting say about 6 weeks post light flip, and I...

I don’t think his comments imply anything is “fraudy”. As generic advice to indoor growers what is easiest to evaluate is level of light. If you know light too dim to read by is fine than you don’t have to worry. It’s more useful to explain it that way than a long explanation about light...

Fwiw Bruce Bugby did some experimentation and his position is that if it’s not bright enough to read by it won’t harm anything. I’ve gone with that and never had an issue. It makes sense given a full moon is going to provide a hell of a lot more light than a single led in a grow room. I don’t...

I finished an orange punch x mimosa a few months ago. Fwiw what struck me on this is how much better it got after curing for a month or so. I tend to start smoking something as soon as it’s dried, and they do get better after cure, but this was different just because of how much better it got...

I’m not doing this to be close to nature. I’m trying to grow the largest quantity of the highest quality weed with the least work and least expense. When I want to be close to nature I hike. I’ve always done hydro, but I’m trying an organic soil grow as it turns out. If it’s not better overall...

I’m getting ready to start a blackberry moon rocks. How is the yield on that one, and any comments on the plant, structure, flowering time etc?

Herbies is a better choice.

I like herbies, but those astronomical prices are only matched by the stupendous crappiness of the selection. Hopefully it gets better over time. I would like to see at least similar price and selection to their regular site without the multi-week wait.

So the gist of it is any kind of power flash can hose the timers and they have to be reset. They won’t continue to run their schedule. If you are on top of it and make sure everything’s working if that happens it’s probably fine. In my case I want to let things run while I’m away and unreliable...

Stay away from Kasa. They aren’t reliable.

Thanks for the thought. The calmag has worried me a little since it antagonizes potassium. I actually did that my last grow since micro has some nitrogen. I started reducing the green stuff eventually hitting zero but grow does have a lot of potassium so you lose some of that with it.

so it’s ebb and flow using half and half ro and tap water with hydroton. Our tap water is pretty hard so the half and half reduces the base tds to something manageable like 110 tds. I’ve been typically adding 1ml calmag per res top up which has been about a gallon a day lately. I changed out the...

That was my first thought although the burnt curled tips had me thinking light until I saw shaded leaves starting to show similar behavior. larger pic attached. This isn’t a real threat to the plant, but it can’t be helping.

Looking for a take on these. it’s an orange punch x mimosa. This plant is 5 weeks into flower and theee mottled leaves have been spreading. This is hydro with temps sitting at 75 and RH at 55. PH is in range oscillating around 6. EC roughly 1.2 which seems to be balanced meaning I don’t see...

It depends how high you want the water to fill, but let’s say it’s to 6 inches. That would be 3 x 3 x 0.5 cubic feet or 4.5 cubic feet. A gallon of water is roughly 0.15 cubic feet so I would assume 30 gallons to fill the table, but you want some additional water in your res because you can’t...

I don’t doubt that. I’m just adding my experience , and personally this is not a company I would entertain sending more of my money to.

I had a pretty poor experience with Seedsman. They aren’t a scam, but I wouldn’t do business with them again. I had issues with seeds not sprouting, misleading product descriptions, and poor customer service.

Thanks and yeah I bet you could, but i have no idea how. There is plenty of arduino enabled hardware if you have modest programming skills too. I’m sure there is something more elegant out there.

Bloom switches on those cheap blurple lights turn on the red diodes. I’m not familiar with hydofe, but if it has a bloom switch that’s probably what these are. Red diodes are good for stimulating flowering. You will have both less light and less of the more desirable light for flower. It...

I’ve had issues with my pumps not turning on for various reasons. pulled plugs myself on accident Forgot to reinstall tubing to pumps after cleaning Kasa timer failures I figure a pump failure is next, and the last incident really hurt my yield. Anyway I bought a couple govee water...
