    Iron precipitation

    I am in a coco DTW system. Having problems with iron precipitating out. I say iron… as it is black but I haven’t tested if it is magnetic. Just occurred to me. Regardless, black precipitate in my reservoir. Here’s the recipe I am following: GH Armor Si 3ml/gal Peters 3.4g/gal Calcinit...

    My chop date was on a collision course with my surgical date

    So, I had to chop before my surgery. Although temp in my drying space is very stable, the humidity is not. It would be 25% if I didn’t have two large humidifiers holding it closer to 45-48%. Not ideal but not catastrophic. I did what I could to prepare for my absence and ran twin water hoses...

    Good idea?

    I am a somewhat experienced grower with about 90 plants over 10-11 grows. I’ve been growing in coco with great results. I have no interest in leaving Coco. That being said, one of the issues with hydroponics is that you just don’t get the same flavor and aroma. I have been doing what I can to...

    Getting ready for my first outdoor grow. I have completed about ten indoor grows but am a total noob at outdoors and will be soliciting information from time to time. So, my question is how long after the Summer Solstice do you typically start to see flower? Trying to get a handle on this so...

    RAW CalMag

    In an effort to use more powdered nutrients and steer from liquids, I purchased NPK Industries RAW CalMag powder from Amazon. I did not read anything that said that the NPK on this is 9-0-0. I only realized that after I received it. In my mind, that is a very large N boost when added to the...

    Nutrient steal

    How early will you start to see nutrient steal as you approach harvest time? I have plants (yes, grown in coco) that are starting to display what appears to be Ca++ deficiency. I have compensated with a little extra calcium and increased fertigation to no avail. They are about three weeks out...

    Fresh air

    I have a 4x8 tent in a 20x20 basement. I have the basement pretty sealed up so I’m not sure that there is a lot of “fresh air” that circulates down there. The furnace and AC ductwork is down there and I think there is a little air leakage that way but there are no windows and only one access...

    Intake fan

    I totally know the importance of an exhaust fan, likely with a carbon filter. I also know that you need some sort of fresh air intake. So much is talked about with the exhaust and carbon filter, etc, but I just don't read much on the intake. What is everyone using? I expect that an intake...

    So, at the recommendation of some kind fellows on this board, I have been directed to order a new LED from Horticulture Lighting Group. This will illuminate 1/2 of my 4x8 grow tent. The other half will be illuminated with a Kind K3 L450, an Advanced Platinum p150 and an Advanced Platinum p300...
