    Looking for a simple nutrient routine

    I have been using GH - the Lucas formula which is as simple as I can find yet. Every time I water. I believe this chart is for every 3rd watering so I cut these numbers by 1/3 and add it to every gallon.... Its only down side (for me) is that I run short on nitrogen in late veg and early...

    Help

    I fertilize every time I water which is once or twice a day in 3 gallon cloth bags under both HID and LED Quantum boards. I use General Hydroponics Lucas formula at 1/3 strength (2.5mls floramicro and 5.0mls florabloom per gallon). In late veg. and early bloom when they are growing fast...

    Led Users Unite!

    Gee, what if you use both HPS and Quantum board LEDs side by side in separate grow boxes? These are from feminized Super Lemon Haze seeds planted in mid-November. They are now in the middle of week 3 of the 12 & 12 flower cycle. I wanted to show a difference in how this strain responds...

    Jay Unity's Jungle

    Very nice! It makes my operation look primitive in three 4x2 grow boxes. Things just went from medical to legal recreational here this year. I guess I better start a grow journal also. I just signed up on this forum with my 1st LED grow in a 2x4x5ft. box...

    Leaf yellowing all grow-How to taper down ??

    I am flowering under a HPS 600w bulb in a 2x4x5ft. box and also pulling another 330 watts from a pair of LED quantum boards in another 2x4x5ft. box. My HPS bulb is about 16 inches above the canopy and the Quantum Boards (LEDs) are about a foot above the canopy in these photos. I have been...

    7 Days Since 12/12 Switch

    Yes sir, Your concerns sound familiar to me and we both are using the GH Flora series nutes. But in a different manner: With that Lucas formula I start seedlings and early veging plants under a 400w Metal Halide bulb about 24 inches above the plants. The formula uses 2.5mls of micro and...

    7 Days Since 12/12 Switch

    Hello, I am also on my 1st LED grow. But I have been under HID lights for years now and am making the switch in one of my two 4x2 grow boxes. I am on day 9 of my 12 & 12 cycle now in both grow boxes. I use the color test kit to determine nute levels and PH in roots organics potting...

    Sex is overrated!

    Well I am "old" by most peoples standards now 'cause most humans I see are way younger than me by some distance.................. it has never been over rated for me - since I never seem to get enough and it has all been good. However, some has been better than others. As already...

    First grow in soil

    Does the yellow top look familiar? I am not saying nitrogen is the sure answer for yours but that is the case for me with these plants. 1st pic- seedling and veg box with clones under the domes. The one larger plant is yellowed and you can see how it...

    Hang in there and you will have some good bud , I will wager on it. We all got to start somewhere. Give 'er a couple more weeks and those tops should fill in. Your attitude is positive and I can tell you are going to learn quick. Its all relative anyway (Einstein). Cripe sakes...

    When to harvest

    "Bugs" seems a bit generalized, no? I would look for the bug (insect or mite) and signs of the pest itself like webbing or spots of defacation or eggs, etc. A magnifying glass would help. It is a long way from losing your crop and it may be signs of a past population now...
