    Big colas turning into light and airy dried nugs, what went wrong?

    Yes they felt dense and heavy when fresh (but first grow so hard to compare). They were in a separate tent drying while rest were still not ready. It had a small oscillating fan blowing on them which i removed day later after seeing how dry they were. How do you not let them get too dry ? RH...

    Help to set up a 3x3 Flower room esp irrigation

    thanks for the rely. I tried that, but water squirts out, as its under pressure, not gravity dripping. Thinking of either using the Octabubbler with built in pressure regulator, anti drain back and self cleaning or go with the floraflex which im not sure if they have the same features. Anyone...

    Help to set up a 3x3 Flower room esp irrigation

    Thanks in advanced, I am really pulling my hair out with getting the irrigation setup in my area. Drain to waste right now with coco but going through so much nutes/water. Looking to copy setups that work rather than spending more $$$ on things that dont work. Does anyone have links to setups...

    just about to flip, plants too big already, should I top?

    I know you don't top when in flower but 2 plants have gone nuts and already touching the lights. I moved light up few inches but have no more space. Should I leaves these as is and have them grow past the light and not get light on the colas or top now and flip before they others get too big ...

    First ever grow

    I am going to use the Netbow rings attached to the floraflex or similar manifold. I had been trying to find one that was 6mm for larger water supply but could only find 4mm with the spagetti tube. Currently i have a timer set to water more and more each time over 4 watering's. At the moment i...

    First ever grow

    Nice work, is it complete drain to waste or are you recirculating some of the run off? How is the runoff drained ? How long does it take each floraflex take to deliver the 100-125ml via those 4mm line supply and are you filtering, using a PRV etc? Are you vegging and flowering in same room...

    Coco perlite Hydro combination - Drain to waste with recycling nutes. How long before draining ?

    no my Ec is 1200 , ppm around 600. The pool colour salt strips that detect salt is what im referring to. When testing my 1300 Ec nutrient mix the strip shows green (which the bottle lists as 2000ppm) ... after the 3rd recirculation the strips went yellow which the bottle says 6000ppm, which is...

    Coco perlite Hydro combination - Drain to waste with recycling nutes. How long before draining ?

    nice setup. Will buying a salt meter (salinity) be able to distinguish between types of salt or will it tell me Na build up? Using the salt strips it shows green (2000ppm) with fresh batch and yellow after recycling for 2 days (6000ppm)

    Coco perlite Hydro combination - Drain to waste with recycling nutes. How long before draining ?

    Thats great, do you have pic of your full setup? Was thinking of a 8 port like the bird 8 port connected to Netbow or similar halo ring (i already have some 13mm sized inlet ones). How long have you used it for, what pre filters have you used etc?

    Coco perlite Hydro combination - Drain to waste with recycling nutes. How long before draining ?

    I would like to convert the halo drip system i have to a octa/multi port floraflex etc head so its easier to add plants, move them around. Will have filters on pump pickup, and filter before the floraflex etc Suggestions on the best multiport head and halo, drip emitter alternative?

    I may also do a Magnesium sulphate foliar spray to help both get magnesium in, increase iron absorption and adding Sulphur in. Thoughts ?

    new type of deficiency i cant find pics of, normal leaf but with dark veins. Also brown spots but not like Ca

    Thanks for the help. Its tank water that is run through a sediment filter, then GAC/KDF filter then through a ioniser which makes it a perfect ph of 6. Adding in Si pH goes up to 7-8, then cal/mag, A+B base nutes brings it back down to around 6.2 and humeric acid (no change to pH). I then adjust...
