Hey guys I'm on Advanced Nutrients mailing list and from time to time Big Mike (the owner or someone pretending to be Big and Mikey...) will send emails with growing tips and such..
Thought I'd share this one with you fine people
Grow Tips is a collection of the most useful hydroponics growing tips that I have found.
Each of them is designed to help you do a better job of growing from seedling
to harvest.
These tips are sent to you, free, as a member of our Inner Circle Club. It's another way
we partner with you to help you obtain a bountiful harvest with every crop you grow.
Tips include:
Tip #1 - How to combat bacterial & fungal infection
First step is to completely clean out your system. If possible, remove each plant, rinse it
off and perhaps dip it in an H202 solution.
Next, trim off any dead roots.
Finally, clean your entire system using strong bleach. In fact, I suggest soaking all your
equipment in bleach for a few hours... particularly your pump and tubing. And, of course,
you'll want to rinse everything thoroughly before putting your plants back in.
Tip #2 - Misconception: airstones don't dissolve oxygen into water
This is a common misunderstanding. Airstones diffuse air through the water but this
doesn't mean that oxygen is dissolved in the water. So, how do you increase dissolved
oxygen levels?
Water and nutrient solutions that circulate at a rate fast enough to exchange their
volumes several times per hour will help to maintain dissolved oxygen levels. Also,
solutions that pass through the air or through biofilters will help to draw ambient oxygen
from the air and dissolve it into the solution.
It comes down to this. The more nutrient solution surface area that's exposed to
ambient air, the greater the potential for increased oxygen levels.
Tip #3 - Potency without absorption is useless
The nutrients you use can be of the highest quality. But if your plants can't fully absorb
them, they are worthless.
The key word to consider here is 'chelated'. Every single one of the micro-nutrients in
the fertilizer you use should be chelated for maximum absorption and uptake. Also, a
high percentage of the macro-nutrients should also be chelated.
Chelated fertilizers provide such benefits as faster peak bloom time, better tasting
vegetables, more aroma and color in your flowers.
Tip #4 - LED lights now suitable for growing
It used to be that LED lighting was frowned upon for use in growing plants. They just
didn't generate enough light intensity.
No more. A new generation in LED lighting now provides not only the intensity your
plants want but also allows you to customize the light spectrum to fit your growin
needs.
This provides you with a number of benefits. The lights last longer than HID, saves
electricity and generates less heat which cuts down on cooling costs in the grow room.
If you haven't discovered the new generation in LED light, you should check it out.
Tip #5 - The difference between beneficial microbes
You probably already know that beneficial microbes create ideal root zone
environments. This means your plants do a better job of taking up nutrients... resist
stress and disease... and help your roots remain strong.
But there can be a big difference in the quality of the microbe products you buy. Most
hydroponic companies save money by having outside companies produce their
microbes in bulk. As a result, the quality can vary all over the lot.
Also, the beneficial microbes you get are pretty much generic. There is little or no
testing on different plants. This is important because specific beneficial microbes work
better on certain plants than others.
So how do you know you are getting quality beneficial microbes? Check to see if the
manufacturer grows their own in-house where quality can be controlled. If they do, then
chances are you'll be getting tested, customized quality microbes.
Tip #6 - Why silica is necessary
In your grow room, you always live with the threat of powdery mildew, gray mold, spider
mites, aphids, root rot and other problems. How do you protect your plants without
resorting to poisons or pesticides?
The answer is silica.
Plants accumulate silicon to build their cells. They also store it as protection and
foundational support between cells. In fact, your plants contain as much as 10% of their
weight as silica.
The problem is silica isn't supplied in most hydroponic fertilizers or root zone media.
That's why providing silica is necessary no matter what type of hydroponic system or
nutrients you're using.
Just make certain that the silica you provide is the right type to provide crop protection
and potency enhancement.

Mostly true, I have a little problem with #4 though... It takes EQUAL wattage led to get decent results see https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/300296-irish-boys-glh-600w-led.html . Your not going to use a 180w LED and get 600w HPS results... period.

I don't know someguy.. I kind of agree with you, but on the other hand I'd hate to be one of those guys who'd question technology..
I mean I've seen LED grows online and on forums and they look very pathetic.. like someone that waisted a bunch of money to save money and wounded up getting something that looks like circus lights and doesn't yield shit.
But I don't think they mean you'll save money on electric bills because of the 600W, I think what he meant is that you'll be getting more lumen output on the amount of electricity you use.
Which is also somewhat questionable since Advanced Nutrients just started selling LED lamps..
Features Wattage - 600 watts
Actual Power Draw 356 watts
1.5 amps @ 220 volts
3 amps @ 110 volts
l LED Chip Power - 2 watt Hi-power LED chip
l LED Lifespan - Up to 100,000 hours
l Dimensions - 13" x 19" x 3.5"
l Number of LED's - 228
l MSRP - $1599.00
That is one expensive circus light... NO THANK YOU!!! not even if the output is twice as good.. I'm not putting that shit in my grow room..
I mean that's my thinking/brainstorming/creativity/working/joyful/enlightening place of my home.. can't expect me to do that, and for 1600$? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME ADVANCED "NUTRIENTS"..

I just helped a buddy chop down his grow, he was using a ton of UFO leds. He also had 2 400w HPS bulbls on a track. I told him he went the wrong route on lighting. He didnt believe me until his crop. 40 some plants. The yield was abosolutley pathetic. I dont suggest leds to anyone and will never ever own one.

That's exactly what I mean man.. I mean I've had plenty of people offering me to buy those things and promising yield.. no thanks bro,.. not willing to help you make a better living while I'm stuck with that thing..
Cause I mean you'd have to use it 2 months straight to realize what a fucking dumbass you were.. and then it's too late to take the thing back.
So the moral of the story is "don't fool yourself into thinking you're going to save anything but empty space in your wallet if you go LED's"
Maybe in 5-10 years.. maybe.. not going to be a test guinea pig though

Ya I've deffinately seen better results from cfls. I hate leds and won't every buy one its a waste of money.

I am looking at a harvest in about a months time, so be on the look out for that, this is my third grow, and looking like the best so far, hope I can deal with heat and pull it off.

A friend and me have been cloning last night.
I only had 6 jiffy plugs left, so we used soil.. I've never cloned directly into soil, so I only did a handful and I'll see if these can survive 48hours and then clone some more..
Made a couple of clones of my nicest ladies.. mostly Milky Way and 1 Blue Cheese..
Made 4 clones of the Fruit Spirit, cause that plant went from zero to hero in my garden..
I just knew it had it in her.. and she's an 8 weeks BlueBerry/WW cross that has some flavorful flowers. Don't mind having some of that around..

I did one of my clones in soil in a rockwool cube and it turned out great the roots broke through the soil and rockwool with ease.
Wish i had the space to make clones

Yea cloning in rookwool is good cause the rooting gel won't get totally sucked into the medium like it would in soil..I did one of my clones in soil in a rockwool cube and it turned out great the roots broke through the soil and rockwool with ease.
Wish i had the space to make clones
This is just my thoughts..
If someone has experience with cloning in soil please let me know how they turned out...
I LOVE that humidifier.. and I have a heat mat so when the dome is closed and I leave just the 2 air holes open the humidity in there will skyrocket to between 92-98%. cause the fog will sink down into the dome and get trapped by a significant temperature difference from the top to the bottom.. this is cause of the heat mat.. which will cause a rain effect inside my dome.. which is better then spraying them all day.. All I need to do is fill my humidifier once ever 14 hours and I'm set!
If I'd remove the dome the humidity would stay between 70-80%
So for a humidifier I paid 29 euros for 1 year ago.. it does a hell of a job!

roflmao at the cat vid, that was great. That drummers has got some flair there. I wish the guitarist wasnt blocking most of the part when the drummer was doing the robot. That looked pretty sweet.
