you are correct. nobody would know the difference between lm301 and lm561c. They are way too close to the same to actually see the difference. Your looking for about 25-40 watts a sq/ft. no matter how big the space or how many diodes being used. That being said. You would want less power to...

No it is not inert by any definition. Explain to me how a medium loaded with minerals is inert ? explain to me how an "inert medium" can have such a high cec ? I made myself clear as can be. I never once said it can grow by itself....plants need N and the other elements missing from coco. I...

https://www.vivagrow.com/lalstop-g46-biofungicide-100-gram-prestop-wg/ im interested myself....

Leave um there. they wont hurt anything but may actually help.

This is where im lost at. Visuals show fungal activity. The lack of aerating the mix makes me think the "good bacteria" is not populating and growing. I have always turned my composting piles for more air so i would never see fungi grow. Am i lacking fungi or are you lacking bacteria ? or maybe...

Finally someone who understands coco and how to use it :clap: EVERYONE growing in coco needs to read this whether they use the info or not. This is the exact reason i keep saying it is not inert. Go send a sample of your "inert coco" to the lab and see just how inert it really is.....

A 480w led fixture will blow away a 600w hps. A 600 w led is going to be double the intensity of your 600 hps.

lm561c are GREAT diodes. The difference in efficiency is not enough to care. ANY fixture you get with lm561c or lm301b/h is going to be your best bet. Far as i can recall , there is IR in hps and none in leds. Thats the only difference if you get regular 3k diodes. All the added UV is just...

The pump seems to be the easy part..... what comes next? how much tubing ? where can i buy all the stuff in one stop without breaking the bank ?

Have we gotten any further ? im tired of wand watering...:wall: Good to see ya 2com. hope all is well!

ROAD KILL !!

This is where i use it to my advantage as an organic ammendment. I just add calmag and N and it can grow a houseplant for a while before changing mixes. So to people who want to start "clean" then yes , it would need removed. K im sure coco has a lot. P im not so sure.

I have no idea about the calmag doing anything to help remove p an k besides the obvious. Flushing with calmag will rinse out most of the extra pk. My understanding is that it needs a certain amount of cal/mag or both to "stablize the coco" Something about the coco grabbing the calmag ions and...

This is my only point. im not trying to say coco is like soil and can feed your girls everything they want. Im only saying that it has food in it if not thoroughly washed.

Im also not talking about the coco itself breaking down. im talking about the bit of food it has in it unless its washed. The way it comes. I dont recall everything in the test but it was fairly high in K and lots of other minerals. It is NOT a balanced diet for most plants so it will need to be...

Why do you follow me around arguing with nothing to back it ? I got this info from YOUR POST. you cited some bullshit to prove it was inert and your citation proved it has lots of food in it. it not inert. AT ALL. It holds food and a ph. thats not inert. Its time for you to do some research on...

Coco has a lot of food in it already but its not a balanced diet for our girls. Thats the reason people tend to clean it out real good so they can start at zero. When you water it the first time , you will add cal mag because the coco "holds on to ca and mag" and only releases it to the plants...

I also do small and fast in soil so my numbers are always kinda low. im not the guy to compare yields with but thats a preference.

The only thing missing from led is IR light , which most think is unuseable to the plant. If you really want identical to your hps then go with leds and a 150w hps just for the IR light. Thats literally the only thing different from led an hps with a small exception for kelvin temp. (Hps bulbs...

No need in name brands. stick with mejui from alibaba or kingbright. less then half the price for the same shit. EDIT: the fixtures are kinda cheaply built but do you really need your fixture to be bulletproof ? nah , just stick with generic lights with lm301b diodes.
