I learned about knf from Chris Trump on YouTube. Just google or YouTube search Chris Trump fpj. He learned directly from master cho the guy who invented knf. No LAB is not required for fpj. All you need is plant material collected in early morning and sugar. Once you mix it together the juices...

Hey great thread. I am planning on mixing my own living soil in the next few months. Any thoughts on switching coco coir for peat moss in the recipe listed at the start of this thread? Thanks

Hey everyone, Currently, I have 2 tents set up in a basement room. My goal is to cut down on smell. Right now my plan is to add a carbon filter going out the window as an exhaust for and seal the room. Currently the ceiling is just open like in the picture below and you can see the bottom of...

My setup is controlled with a raspberrypi so I am able to skip the light sensor. I can check that with code.

I am interested to hear if the co2 absorbent works out for you. What are symptoms of co2 poisoning? I am installing a sensor and co2 regulator in my grow. I will definitely be looking at the nightly number. I wonder if the co2 in my tents will raise that much. You mentioned a timer so I'm...

Have you seen any negative side effects or just the high number?

In his book Ed Rosenthal mentions that at night plants release co2. This is why he recommends not adding co2 with an external system for the first hour or two of the lighter being on. Edit: my 2 cents is that as long as it goes down during the day you are good. If the lights arent on the plants...

In my opinion it would be more worth it to get deep red LEDs that you can control separately from your main lights. The reason why is because the Emmerson Effect. When your plants are transitioning from veg to flower deep red light can speed up the transition from veg to flower. If you give...

Looks like more light lower than LEDs. I'm not trying to knock LEDs I love them but from what I have read on the subject the penetration is not quite as good. Overall point is that training is important. If you didnt take so much growth of the bottom I think your yeilds would suffer.

That's my point. I bet if you had a HPS there you would see more light under the canopy. This either calls for a side by side or agree to disagree. Yes having multiple light points will give you more even coverage but it wont penetrate through the canopy as much. I havent done a side by side so...

Those plants look great. I wouldnt call that a dense canopy though. You took enough off the bottom and the plants have some elbow room. I'm thinking more a think canopy that you can barely see the floor.

Your talking about bud structure. I'm talking about how far the light makes it through the canopy. I run LEDs myself because of the better spectrum but I would be money a thicker canopy would yeild more under HPS. LEDs have better light spectrum but the light does not make it as far though the...

What training did you do? LED lights dont have as good light penetration compared to traditional lights. That means making sure your canopy is not to thick is even more important.

So even though the water is only dripping in about 3 spots will top dressing still be an effective method? My only worry is that only the amendments right under the dripper will be absorbed into the soil since that's where the water is falling.

I was thinking of hand watering right after so it seeps in initially. I'm meeting up with a local grower today who has been growing in soil since before I was born. I'll let you know what he thinks.
