    Unidentifiable bugs at 64x magnification

    They are not gnat larvae, they have rigid bodies and appear to have "armor" like a pill bug. I believe that jondamon is correct in that they are springtails. This would further make sense in that there presence was unknown until now, since they're sitting in water constantly and I've been...

    Unidentifiable bugs at 64x magnification

    One can be found on amazon, ebay, or many other places if you just look up pocket microscope, the particular one I used for this can be had for under $5.

    Unidentifiable bugs at 64x magnification

    What the hell are these things? They're almost dust sized! I found them today on a sticky trap. They were surrounding the "popsicle" stick that I have stuck in the pot of one of my mothers which holds the trap. It looks like they crawled out of the perlite. The problem is, in order to do...

    Cyanobacteria "clear slime" scoffs at EWC Tea

    OK so after reading what everyone said I still got the slime while using EWC tea. Or I think it's the slime, someone said somewhere as I recall that it could be a colony of myco that looks similar? IDK. Here is the slime on the ends of one of my clones. Here is the reservoir with EWC tea...

    Lazy Growers Garden

    So to sum up for Gary. You have a reservoir > bulkhead > spigot > adapter to 1/4" tubing > aqua valve (or other similar) Valve is in a bucket with a lid. bucket has holes in bottom. Plants are in buckets full of medium perlite, these buckets also have hole in bottom. All buckets are in a...

    HELP! Minisplit schrader valve leak

    OK, so for some clarification. I used a valve core removal tool. It helps pull the vacuum faster. I actually pulled down and held at 210-220 micron for about an hour before releasing the charge. I released the charge, then went to put the schrader back in. When I went to remove the core...

    HELP! Minisplit schrader valve leak

    Ok so I installed the minisplit, vacuumed it down and checked that it held below 300 microns for 30 minutes, ok, cool. Except I was using a core removal tool, and when I put the schrader valve back in it leaked. I spent a minute or two trying to get it to tighten up and stop leaking but it...

    Lazy Growers Garden

    Ok so this will be my contribution for all of you that are as lazy as me. Hempy buckets are nice, but isn't it a pain trying to water them all? Well, problem el solved. Here's what you do: Decide how big you want your "plot" to be. If you are super lazy, buy a tray. If you want to save...

    Fungus Gnats, Root Aphids? What else?

    So I took in some clones and immediately noticed they had what I thought were fungus gnats. No big deal, I use silica so they don't seem to be causing any issues in the 4 months I've had them. I do see a flyer every now and then..I actually see them in every.plant.in.my.house! Small numbers...

    120V/12V switching relay or Pseudo Hempy backup for Aero

    I figured it out. I'm just going to run a relay board with flyback diode in series with the 120v pump, the relay board can handle 10 amps resistive but I'll be using it NO to switch 1 amp inductive solenoid which will then complete a circuit from a 12V battery to a 12V backup pump. so 120V...

    RO filter hooked up in reverse did i break it?

    I know this is almost a month old but.. Hooking it up "backwards" wont break it. Except, in that context, didn't mean fuck you.. It meant some of the salesmen will try to fuck you. An RO system works like this Line to first filter - water gets filtered to 5 microns Line or manifold to...

    Carbon filter & fan size for 3x3x6.5

    Gorilla Glue #4 by Joesy Whales, clone only. It's got unusually dark foliage and demonstrates a twist/curl to the younger leaves. People are pulling 2 elbows per light without a ton of effort. strong scent.

    Carbon filter & fan size for 3x3x6.5

    Whatever size they rate it for..double it or more. I have some gg #4 vegging in 4x4 tent and a 6" fan/filter combo can't scrub the air clean.

    And God said, Let there be light

    "hp" aero is fine..just run the pump 24/7 though..forget the other bullshit or you'll starve your plants for water. Edit: If you can't clone in it, you shouldn't grow in it. That's my motto for "are you providing enough water" at minimum.

    RO filter hooked up in reverse did i break it?

    dude you can get one for well less than two hundo. Except I would check the membrane, they'll try to skimp you on that ish. Although as Snaps said, sittings makes them go bad..they grow bacteria like whoa. I'd empty out all filters and clean with bleach water then fill up the first filter...

    potential yield for 12x12 w/ LED'S?

    Without reading through the whole thread I'm just going to say that you can pull a g/w with off the shelf LEDs under optimal conditions with a stellar cut and perfect conditions(temp, CO2, etc.) What I will say is that in a 12x12 if you're running a shitload of LEDs you're looking at 24-36k+...

    120V/12V switching relay or Pseudo Hempy backup for Aero

    Hi, So I'm running an aero setup off of a 120V pump. The issue I'm looking to deal with is some sort of backup in a power outage. Since I'm just dealing with one large table (78 100psi sprayers), the most logical backup to me would be NFT or operate off of the hempy principle. I know I could...

    Installing a MiniSplit

    In order to deal with climate in a sealed room I will be installing a minisplit. I had some questions about the install: It is a YMGI 24000 BTU 18 SEER and the installation manual is https://www.breezzone.com/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=11 (Or you can just find the manual on...

    Is this the infamous LED Calmag issue?

    Thanks! I do have some brown spots, but not on all of the plants, they're all fed by a common reservoir though so probably just competing for Ca, the ones in dirt are only showing Mg deficiency.

    Is this the infamous LED Calmag issue?

    Indoor Grow 57 watts per square foot of 3 watt LED lights out: 73 lights on: 83 1500 ppm CO2 Humidity held at 40% by dehumidifier pH 5.8-6.2 (I store my pH meter in a calibration solution and rinse with the same every time I use it so I know it's right). lights about 18" above canopy Note: this...
