    Ozone Levels To Kill PM?

    This is good info. link: http://maximumyield.com/blog/2014/01/01/ozone-a-growroom-super-tool/ "No More Bud Rot An ozone generator can save crops from botrytis and other pathogens, even if it’s already started to weave its gray web around plants. It does this quickly without adding any toxic...

    Ozone Levels To Kill PM?

    I've been doing a lot of research the past few days, and haven't come up with much. So far, the best advice is that if you can smell the ozone, it's too high. Just don't know if that's too much for plants or just humans. Here's the link.

    Thanks budman. Sounds like a good starting point.

    Ozone Levels To Kill PM?

    I've been battling a pm problem. * I have great ventilation. In fact, it's way overkill. * Humidity has been super low so far. Not an issue. * I'm increasing the # of circulation fans in the room. I notice that the pm only grows on the side of a plant that is facing away from the...

    About to start using Potassium Bicarbonate

    Now some clone cuttings are getting pm. Arrrggg!!! Think I'll mix full dose of 2 tbsp to dip the tops of them in.

    White Slime In Rez 2nd Week Flower

    And I think by working with the ph up drift, any chance of a ph related nutrient lockout can be totally avoided. Win win.

    White Slime In Rez 2nd Week Flower

    I'm wondering if the snot isn't actually helping the plants a little. Between h2o2 doses [3-4 days], the ph drifts up a little. With 5.8 being optimal, and looking at the nutrient absorb-ability ph chart, some nutes are barley available at 5.8 on either side of the spectrum. My logic is that by...

    Yeah, I know. The mark for nutes if the tap had no ppm is 1000. So I can go as high as 1500 with my 500 tap. My meter does not differentiate between tap ppm & nutes ppm.

    About to start using Potassium Bicarbonate

    And lights off for application with 12 hours for it to dry off with a fan blowing on it before lights come back on.

    About to start using Potassium Bicarbonate

    Cool, good info! I'll stick to 1 tbsp per gal. Want to risk burning pistols as little as possible. Yeah, the room never gets above 50% RH. I have a 6" intake fan, and two 6" exhaust fans blowing 24/7. No humidity spikes after lights out, etc. The intake draws air from a controlled temp/humidity...

    About to start using Potassium Bicarbonate

    Thanks. I haven't tried the milk yet. That's next on the list. It's not bad right now because of the treatments I've been giving it with the sulfur burner & Neem. I just gotta keep up with the maintenance so it don't come back strong again. I had to chuck 6 Diablo [all of them] plants the last...

    New grower. 2nd run. Big problem. week 3 flower

    Just my .02 as a hydro noob myself. Over water = lack of oxygen. I chose to not use a bucket system because there is always some water left behind in bucket. Could be that the roots are using up all the oxygen in that water between watering making it look like it's a over watering problem when...

    About to start using Potassium Bicarbonate

    Hey all, I'm about to start using Potassium Bicarbonate to control PM on both my mum's and flowering plants. I've read that it can be applied right up to last day before harvest. Doing a quick search on here just now, I read that it will burn the hell out of the hairs/pistols. This sounds...

    Repurposed couch cushons, or new growing medium?

    Ha! I can't believe it. I couldn't get any of the new media I want today, but I wound up at a different hydro store than the one I usually go to, and they had STG 1.5" cubes and Hail cubes. I've been wanting to try this stuff for a long time now, but the company went under and nobody has any...

    Repurposed couch cushons, or new growing medium?

    Been doing some research on the subject today. Found this stuff: http://www.gardenponds.com/Poly-Flo-Filter-Media.html I think the 2" thick stuff would work good. Instead of net pots, I could just stick it into 1.5" cube trays with plastic over the top to help keep the light out and away from...

    White Slime In Rez 2nd Week Flower

    Slime update. It came back. Not a problem. Just upped the H2o2 regiment a little. Apparently, I wasn't using enough between rez changes.

    Repurposed couch cushons, or new growing medium?

    Hey all, I've had it with using rockwool cubed for my cuttings. I can't always be home every 12 hours to do the watering, so my stuff is always either too dry or too wet. Either way, it translates to dead clippings with no roots. Searching for a open cell foam to use instead. I'm looking for...

    White Slime In Rez 2nd Week Flower

    Yeah, 500 is pretty high. It works for the moment, and makes it so I don't have to add any cal-mag. At least I should never have any mineral deficiencies with it. I'll only have to deal with mineral buildup on everything.

    White Slime In Rez 2nd Week Flower

    Update: All better! All the research I did, pretty much said that it would always return in under 48 hours. It's been 5 days now, and no more white snot on top of rez. H202 does work for white snot! I doubled the dosage up to 2 cups of 35% for 33 gallons. I usually only run 3/4 cup per 33 gal...
