Why are all oscillating fans so awful? Even brand new ones start getting loud after several months of use. Is there an alternative setup where I can post a stationary tower fan that would give full coverage airflow in a 4x2? One possibility is I can remove the base and then mount the tower...

Also throwing in reco for SF GS4500. bar style LED with dimmer and removable driver. Great output and fits perfect in a 4x2.

Yeah the left 2 plants aren't having any issues, but the right one is definitely getting some crispy margins and tips. I'll have to measure them, but they are probably within 6 inches from the light which is pretty toasty. I may try to LST them down further, but I'm guessing the alternative is...

I thought maximizing light didn't matter as much in veg. I'll have to find the research, but I thought increased light intensity didn't lead to increased growth in veg as compared to flower.

This is my second grow with the SF GS4500, and so far it's been great. However, I have been trying to figure out how much intensity would be appropriate for each stage. I have pretty much ran it at 100% since flipping to flower, but now I wonder if that intensity is even needed until they start...

Shout out to fucking DDP S&C though shit is delicious.

Also an interesting idea as an alternative. Though I am still concerned about the sheer amount of acid that it was taking to bring the PH in range. 15-20ml seems to be far more than what I read on here. I will say though the feeding process is add nutrients, PH down within range and then shake...

I water based on weight as well. On average they are light, but not bone dry medium at the end of 2 days.

I did have an EC issue with underfeeding during veg (trying to gauge minimal EC to prevent def), but I think I'm just looking for justification that with the lime already in Promix maybe I'm overdoing it adding PH down and the natural buffer of the medium should bring everything in range. I did...

You've brought up some interesting points. I also run a top to bottom pour through of about 3 gallons every 2-3 days with a solid amount of runoff. So you're saying the constant flushing of the old build up in the runoff means the odds of the acid being retained in any real amount in the medium...

Even runoff PH only tells so much though. Without a soil tester, at best I'm seeing what PH goes in and what passes through the bottom for that feed, not necessarily what the overall PH of the peat itself is. I'm doing a test with a cup of the sink water before and after 3 days to see if the...

I'm not saying they can't consume phosphor, but just like overfeeding and creating salt buildup from lack of absorption, I'm wondering if an excess of phosphoric acid can build up in Promix due to water evaporation outpacing the absorption of the acid. To clarify, I'm using Promix HP, not DWC.

Ive been growing a few years now, but PH down (particularly phosphoric acid) has always made me suspicious that maybe the PH down isn't simply adjusting the PH of the solution going in. I've since learned more about carbonate/bicarbonates, alkalinity, etc. but I'm still unsure if PH down works...

A couple of basic questions: I know that for hydro setups, enzymes like zyme can help filter and clean out the slime to keep roots healthy. For soilless mixes, what do I gain by using zyme? How often should it be used? In what amounts? What situations would you use Zyme for if you don't apply it...

Just wanted to give an update that the plants are doing much better. They are still eating up the rest of the dead growth that can't be saved, but new growth looks much better. I'm sticking with 1/2 tsp FP per gallon unless there is a drastic deficiency that requires an adjustment. Hopefully the...

See and I believe the opposite that it's rarely the PH. Cannabis has a wide absorbing PH range, even if certain ranges are better at absorbing certain elements than others. I think most problems are from watering practices or improper nutrient levels/ratios. Also make sure your nutrients don't...

Slowly getting there lol. As you can see new growth looks very nice, but the plant continues to process the damage and so I'm just letting the let plant drain most of the leaves naturally instead of pruning for now. Once the stretch stops (they are on F16), I'll probably do some basic...

What exactly determines the best qualities of tap water for growing and what are the limits on different aspects of the water's profile that would represent the limits for what you would feed a plant? Obviously I know there are people here that dump runoff water from a long John silvers dumpster...

Man I'm going to really have my work cut out for me here. They are definitely starting to eat a bit as I'm getting a bit of yellow leaf drop at the bottom. But holy shit the shockwaves from the damage is still ongoing. The middle one is still showing more crispy leaves in the margins. I want to...

Gave them 1/4 tsp per gallon. They were already looking much improved after being flushed. Guess we will see how they look in 2 days.
