    Leave edges yellowish/brown

    Okay, yes see if you can find a meter to measure the ec and ph of the water in the bottom of the pots, that will really help figure out the issue. Good for you helping out your friend, im sure they will appreciate your effort.

    Leave edges yellowish/brown

    Yeah the more info you can share the better, but it looks like a possible nutrient/nitrogen burn, but are those autopots? I did some consulting for a grow running in autopots with coco, they had some somewhat similar issues with them- since its a bottom watering+feeding system that only brings...

    Anybody else noticed that HLG has changed the qb648 Diablo boards? lots of mint white and some warm white too!!

    I was looking at a 350 diablo (new version of the 350r with reflectors) at a local hydro shop the other day and noticed that they have totally changed the diode mix on the boards, from what I believe was a mix of 5000k 301h and 301h evo chips to what looks to be a mix of 3-3500k warm white...

    Leaf damage? Dtw coco

    what are your temps and rh%? I have run coco dtw the last few years, using several different nutrient lines and MOST calcium deficiency's I have had have been due to the environment/vpd being out of whack, especially for the light level the plants were getting. For example the air temps dropped...

    Wow leds are coming a long ways

    Sorry to hear that, not a promising sign for the future when the prices for top shelf indoor drop below 1000 even as a best case scenario, dont know how a craft grower could survive on those kinds of margins. So basically the market out there has collapsed to the point where only the absolute...

    Wow leds are coming a long ways

    I Have been looking at some of that gear coming out of Oklahoma, all kinds of nice stuff on classifieds and online liquidation auctions. I am not real familiar with OK market but really concerning to hear that its gotten to the point where it isnt worth it anymore for somebody producing quality...

    The Bucket Company?

    Hey sorry for bringing a thread back from the dead but before I made the plunge and bought some bucket company gear there wasnt much I could find in the way of reviews so here goes. I got the 22" runoff trays since I grow large plants in a scrog and wanted to keep my floor space open instead of...

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    Sounds like a great setup, wish I had a greenhouse!!! I have done many outdoor grows in soil using organic amendments, and had good sucess especially with large containers (60-100 gallons). I think that is where this got away from me a bit, the 20 gallon container did not have enough volume to...

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    Yeah I used to use great white pretty exclusivly with clones and during transplants, but one time I had to do some transplants and ran out midway through so I grabbed the microbe charge off the shelf and used that for the rest, I found that the plants I had added the microbe charge too...

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    Yeah I know their dosage instructions are super vauge, one teaspoon to one tablespoon per gallon, so I played around with different mixtures to see what kind of results and EC it would give me. I really like the microbe charge, I mix some into my coco during transplants even on my non organic...

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    Yeah I didnt mulch and I have noticed the top layer dries out very quickly. Was thinking of pouring a layer of hydroton on top of the soil but maybe that barley straw would be better?

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    I usually put a full shot glass worth of the microbe charge and then a shot glass not quite full of either their grow or bloom, (or a mix of both) into a 5 gallon bucket with roughly 4 gallons of dechlorinated and ph'ed water and a big air disc at the bottom, then I aerate for between 4-24...

    Using coco for full or at least semi organic automated grow

    I wasnt really planning on it but I can continue updating this thread if you or others are interested, Today is day 10 of flower and I actually had to dim the light back a little over my bannana cake in the organic soil, leaves are getting a touch of that very light olive green on top and feel...
