    When to begin nutes in rdwc

    The pic from today is the one with the most coloration. The one with more white roots was from a couple days ago. I have been concerned that the clumping could be a sign of rot. I will pick up some shock tomorrow and give that a shot. Unfortunately i let my a buddy borrow my car today, which...

    When to begin nutes in rdwc

    Shit! What makes you say they don't look great? As a noob, I have no clue what's what yet and every bit of advice/info I collect on here is valuable to me. If you can please be a bit more detailed in your responses it would greatly help me learn more. The totes were hit with like 4 or 5 coats...

    When to begin nutes in rdwc

    I've been using h202 to run sterile but developed a brown layer in the rdwc totes, which I hit with a heavy dose of h202 and eliminated it overnight. Hit it with half the aforementioned dose the next night. With the cost of H202 and fact I can't source it locally, shock seems like the best...

    When to begin nutes in rdwc

    I'm definately fretting about it now. The spotting is working its way from the lowest leaves upwards and starting to blacken. It's only on the fan leaves and not on any new growth that's branching off those leaves. With that in mind, I presume it cannabis leaf septoria? I'm guessing I should be...

    Looking for guidance on how to use pool shock

    Try it and see what happens. That shit sounds like playing Russian roulette, lol. Now I'm even more nervous about switching over to pool shock.

    Looking for guidance on how to use pool shock

    Should I just run at 3ppm? Does it make sense to shoot for 1ppm if that's the bare minimum? I presume if shooting for 3, a person would want to start at 1ppm to let the plants get used to it? If so how rapidly can the levels be bumped up?

    Looking for guidance on how to use pool shock

    I'm confused, lol. Your last reply stated you just used 1ppm, but this references using 3ppm. Does that mean that you run 1ppm, but mid week like to add 3ppm? If theres an issue you run the 3ppm 2x per week. If so, that seems to suggest the shock lasts a few days on average? With a smell test...

    Looking for guidance on how to use pool shock

    Thank you! Do you dilute the powder in some water first? Or just sprinkle the shock into the rez slowly? Following your calculations I would need to add .2 grams for 20g, correct? How often should it be added to the system? I presume the 1ppm of chlorine is for preventative purpose and up to...

    Looking for guidance on how to use pool shock

    I'm heavily considering switching from H202 to pool shock (running sterile). Looking to gather some knowledge before taking the plunge. If I understand correctly, the measurements are 1g of shock per gallon of water to make a solution? That solution is then added at a rate of 5ml/g? I should...

    question about adding more GH Flora Series nutes to reservoir that already has nutes

    Is this still working out for you with no lockout? I just mixed a batch of nutes (noob here) and it came out to half strength. I added more nutes, in sequence from micro to bloom. Took out about a half gallon of nute mix and added micro to it, then dumped it back into the rez while mixing. I...

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    I was nervous about adding too much nutes to the fresh batch I mixed up so I followed the 1.8ml/g ratio and was well under my target EC. Had to another 1.8ml/ nutes to the mixing bin to get get in range. I mixed in order when adding more. Did I just risk nutrient lockout as gh series has a...

    I'm in the .5 scale, which is what gh nutes uses

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    Thanks for that advice. I've been stating ppm because that's what the feeding chart for my nutes refers too.

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    From what I can gather online, a full dose of calimagic is closer to 400-500ppm. 120ppm is approximately 25% the recommended dose. Do you still think 120-140 is a good range for the calimagic? I was running at 25% calimagic. Just double checking

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    The ph drop test produces a piss yellow. The darkness of when someone is dehydrated and takes a piss. I presume that it's OK to go over 300ppm with the new water considering the calimagic addition you advised should total 120-140ppm and nutes should be around 300. So 400-440ppm total...

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    I use Gh nutrs and their calimagic. This is straight from their website.....When using Armor Si™ and/or CALiMAGic™, with FloraSeries®, these products should be added prior to adding FloraMicro®.

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    I believe my ph meter was off by.2, which would have put me at 5.7-5.8. Am I correct to say that's a good ph level? I have it at 5.8. Not sure about adding tap water. We use RO for houseplants because the water in this town is crap. It's so bad the water company is putting in an RO system...

    Please help me identify what these spots are

    Those brown spots are starting to appear on a couple more leaves on that plant and now a couple leaves on another plant. I'm using ro water with calmag at 1/4 the recommended dose. Planning to up it to half, unless you think I should be adding more/less than that. Wondering if I should be using...

    What's the optimal temp and RH ranges when using LED

    I'm not sure how to determine when a plant is considered to be late in the seedling stage or has entered the veg stage. Running a Google search just basically says "when the plant has developed a large number of fan leaves". A noob like me has no clue what is considered a large number of fan...

    Thanks for that heads up! What's considered high humidity? And yes, I have decent air movement. I think lol
