Ok gotta question for anybody. I just bought this truncheon ppm meter it has both the .5 and .7 conversions. Im confused as too which side i should be paying attention too. Now i been seeing that 1600 ppm is usually about the max a full flowering plant will handle. Now is that 1600 ppm at .5 conversion or 1600 ppm at .7 conversion?

Don't come to me if your plants get sick... BUT... I'm pretty sure the standard conversion is .5. Not sure, but yeah... think that's it. Also, you really want to go by what the plant says. I mean I wouldn't just run 1600 ppm for every strain during flowering. So really it doens't matter too much what the conversion is as long as you are only using one meter, feel me. If it says 1500ppm and that's too much for the plant... lower it. No matter what the conversion.

But anyways... it's a stupid system. Why would there be two conversion rates. Kinda frustrating for sure.

ANd about rep... I don't think it's that simple. My squares have been slowing down lately. The biggest thing I've noticed with rep.... the more rep someone has the more their rep counts toward you. So if a newb gives you a rep point, it's worth like 1 point. When DST gives it to you it's worth like 15 points or something. +rep for the question, lol.

what up everyone? as always, spent a good amount of time with the girls this weekend. i had cut 2 jack the rippers, plus the few i pulled last week and needed to refill the box. now i've been having some temp issues and i was only running 1 light in my 2 light set up. in prepping the babies, i was wondering how i could fill my whole cab but keep the temps down. i remembered reading a artical in ht a few years ago about a guy running half is lights at a time flopping back and forth between lights throughout the 12 hr light cycle. i figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try, so i set my 2 lights on seperate timers that run for 3 hr 15 mins each. the lights overlap for 15 mins every 3 hours , and my exhaust fan runs the whole time. i checked the timers to make sure everything is running at the correct times and checked the temps every hr for the last 2 days. the temps are staying in the low to mid 80's (the same as running just the 1 light) and i'm able to fill my whole cab. now the artical i read, this system pushed back the harvest by a week or 2, but allowed the grower to keep everything full all summer long. i'll keep everyone posted on how this works out. might be a good solution for all us guys dealing with high temps.

Thanks for your answer man! I been figuring out that it really is the EC that counts, not so much the ppms. But no I wouldnt just automatically bump them to 1600 tho. I know how even the different phenotypes from the same strain react different to the same levels of nutes. I did a test on the mixtures I been feeding some of my plants that got tips burnt and I was giving them about 700 ppm twice a week. So that a total of 1400 ppm giving me burnt tips. I was thinking lowering to maybe about 1250 might be golden...we'll see.

Sorry Will, missed that question when visiting earlier, but our good partner Jig seemed to sum it up correctly. I guess you could just have a meter that read, Not Hungry - A bit hungry - Happy - Getting Hungry - Fukin Starvin...or something along those lines. Feed accordingly. Well if there was a choice in the shop, I would buy that one. I tend to just look at them and think, mnnn, need to do something, lol.

I done this through flowering with my MH and HPS. Through flower an MJ plant only needs 7 hours of full sunlight....anyway, I think for optimisation purposes I would run a cool tube system for the lights to keep them full on during flowering. But keep us posted, interested to see if the timing is affected. Thanks for the share

dst, believe it or not, i'm already running cooltubes with a 6" vortex fan and my temps will hit 100+ with both lights running. i have a new 8" vortex on order that should be here this week to see if i can run both lights, but wanted to cover the "what if" factor when i switch it up. you know, the "what if this doesn't work either" comment i'm going to here if the fan doesn't work.

Good evening folks.

Nice update 1Bad! Hope all is well bru, when you next up to see the guerilla girls? Probably not see mine for a few weeks.

Hey D I just got all caught up on my masonry work for a week or 2. Ill be checking hamburger hill tommorow afternoon. Ill bring along the cam. The rains have stopped and the suns a beaming last few days:mrgreen:. And with all this down time ahead im going to visit my patches in gods country very soon. Going to nute feed all the plants. :-? going to be alot of work as some will be getting a hefty heep of horse poo. I will try to get some pics. As you know my situation there is a bit sketchy at times. I do believe all is well but pics are hard to get. They way paranoid in those parts.:roll: I will however get a few pics of some of the plants from each patch. Hope they all there yet. Excited and cant wait..... This calls for a joint and a song bump.. Got me some kill sour D and some Sugar Kush.. Pretty heavy gear :eyesmoke: I stay fried lol :joint:bongsmilie:eyesmoke:

So at the end of the plants life right before I harvest I hears I should put the girls into 48 hours of darkness?? Is this true and what is the purpose???

Dont quote me BongKong but i believe the reason peeps do that is to make the plant think its got to put out as much trichs as it can in a last ditch effort to get pollinated. Its tricking the ole cougar into putting out lol. Thats my understanding anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong. Peace 1BMM

but trichromes dont grow overnight, it takes weeks. I never tried both side by side but doesnt seem like extra trichromes are going to apear in a 48 hour period. correct me if Im wrong, but is there any actualy test on this subject?
