    Nutrients for soil grows

    When my preferred soil costs 35 to 45 per bag and 2.5 bags required per pot it makes sense to be more conservative and remend existing than dropping a bunch of cash for ultimately the same end result. Cheers 8)

    Nutrients for soil grows

    I reclaimed my soil from last year and added amendments to rejuvenate it :cool: Seedlings were about 10inches tall 2wks ago and some are nearly 5ft tall today. Explosive growth, all loving the organics :-D

    Masterblend?

    Absolutely not, I'm so glad I stopped using it after the 2nd application. More educated on cannabis, decided to grow organically, have soil tested, plants thrive. Cheers :weed::weed:

    Hlg 600r

    It'd be great if HLG would include a cheat sheet for par value @ recommended height based on wattage

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    Yes they have a distinctive odor 4sure. Its been awhile since I ran them and I nuked pistols from the fixture's being to close. I given them 3 days to bounce back and raised the fixture's much higher. I found a video on YouTube that discusses that results are much better for pulses vs on for...

    Soil PH

    Regardless of what your application is h20 or nutes always check your ph input. Occasionally check your ph runoff to get ahead of any possible buildup of salts. Here's a pic from my runoff I measured last night. This shows my method isn't spot on either because my runoff after 2 waterings of 5.8...

    Masterblend?

    When watering or adding supplements I never have runoff so perhaps this is part of my problem. I began saving my soil after harvests because the cost per bag is $50.00, so it kinda makes sense that I have the buildup..

    Masterblend?

    Guys I switched from using Heavy 16 veg A and B to Masterblend. I followed the instructions and after the 2nd application my plants started turning Purple on the stems. Crazy because Epsom salt usually prevents this and it's part of the application. So I grabbed a plant and placed it in my...

    Masterblend?

    So what's your mixing ratio for Masterblend. I've been using Heavy 16 and recently bought the Masterblend and I'm following the "lettuce" ratio but it seems like high nitrogen levels for flower. I measured my ppms (seems low 600) at the recommended ratio and I added humic acid and catalyst. My...

    1st time grow setup questions

    All good advice here. Just remember that as noted don't veg for long as they'll become very crowded within the given space. Also during veg you'll need additional space for a humidifier. Don't use a charcoal filter during this period as it will get saturated and fail prematurely. Those are...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    When I 1st installed my uv fixture's I st set my timer to run 5 min on every other hr. Unfortunately the last on time I screwed up and they remained on for 4hrs. It certainly shows in the old growth but in the new growth it's fine. I'm currently in veg but the fixture's are 4ft above the...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    Hey man, in everything I've read about using uv it's a no brainer. If it combats PM and promotes more trich build up and terpenes then I'm all in :cool: Just be careful, I was using a pair of UV safety glasses for our UV curing stations from work while I was trying to get my light fixtures...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    Two fixture's seems to be working, I have to return the 3rd one, and hopefully they'll have the new shipment in. My timer was messed up on the final cycle and the uv lights were on at least 4hrs, fingers crossed that it won't have bad effects on the plants. But fixture's are over 6ft high...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    I have researched them and they do work but can be a health risk. I know that the uv lights are too but I won't be in the room during the on cycles. I tried lining the ceiling, walls and floor with panda film. And between grows I thoroughly clean floor to ceiling with 10% bleach. I also mop the...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    I've tried everything short of using a sulphur burner. PM typically rare's its head in flower so I'd like to get ahead of it. I implemented UV lights on my incoming air intake filter and discharge filter during my last grow and it certainly helped but I was still chasing it with Lost coast...

    Agromax Pure UV bulb

    BTW, I just set my timer to only run 4 (5min) cycles during the 18hr on cycle. I'll monitor the plant growth and hopefully it won't stunt the growth rate and again this application is more of a deterrent for PM than anything else. But hey if the plants prosper then it's a win win :D
