    Low budget, homemade hydroponics nutrients?

    There is very little fact in that article, instead it is full of drama and misleading statements. At the core is the idea that California is telling manufacturers what they can and cannot put in fertilizers. The reality is that if you put "non plant food" items in your fertilizer, then either...

    Vertical Lighting Layout/Spacing 24'x24' Flower Room

    Foot-candles refers to illumination, not energy transferred to the plants. See the 1st post on this thread: Computing your lighting requirements.

    powdery mildew and dealing with it systemically

    The "trouble" you had is one of the following, maybe both: (a) the product is not licensed for retail sale in California, (b) the size container you tried to purchase is too large for the state of California to trust consumers with. Of course, another possibility is that PVFS is in error, but...

    powdery mildew and dealing with it systemically

    I agree. I think in Denver you have less mildew in the regional environment than we do here in San Diego, so the bacterial approach is a good choice. Professional "organic" wholesale growers here use those same spores in the winter time as a pre-conditioner prior to application of potassium...

    Computing your light requirements

    There have been many studies of moving light systems, both amateur and academic. None of these have resulted in "acceptable results" for a crop. No successful grower in agriculture is using a moving light system. From an energy standpoint alone, you are in denial. Like I said, if what you are...

    powdery mildew and dealing with it systemically

    Part of the argument here could be that there are two different fungicide products labeled "Quantum". One of them requires a pesticide applicators license to purchase and apply, and the other (I assume what putembk has) is simply bacterial spores. A hallmark of organic growers is a lack of...

    powdery mildew and dealing with it systemically

    You can also use the potassium bicarbonate or copper ammonium product I mentioned a few posts ago as foliar 1 tsp / gallon ONE TIME.

    Interested In Real Spores Without The "fluff"

    I own a plant nursery and fertilizer distribution business. I'd rather not pay the markup, especially since it might be the source I'm using already. :bow The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient. :bow

    powdery mildew and dealing with it systemically

    You can rid plants of powdery mildew systematically, but not systemically. The all-natural way is with old-fashioned baking powder, aka potassium bicarbonate. (Not sodium bicarbonate which is in modern baking powder) Over the counter it is available from the "Monterey Gardens" brand, sold...

    A few questions for only the seasoned growers

    The Grow More BioCozyme product costs the same as their seaweed extract, but it also contains the enzymes and hormones you are interested in.

    Computing your light requirements

    ttystikk -- I understand your light rotator is a labor of love and many years hard work. So I'm feeling remorseful about giving you negative feedback. Please accept my apology. Plant growth is due to accrued energy input. When the light moves away, you introduce a delay at best, and for...

    Best nutes for ebb and Flow set up??

    Ask around and see what people think of the Grow More "Sea Grow" 16-16-16 for veg and 4-26-26 for bud.

    Computing your light requirements

    Side-by-side at 2 inch spacing will get the desired power density. I'm sure their engineers and lawyers are careful with the labeling so that all their claims can be justified. Of course you know that the LEDs themselves are mass-produced for use in fiber optic communication? The actual cost...

    TRUE AEROPONICS - why arent more people using this method?

    Aeroponics will save you costs in media. It will increase your costs in apparatus. The cleaning per cycle is about the same as hydroponics. The nutrient costs (if done properly) will be the same. It is viable for growing lots of short "single bud" plants. Keep in mind that the volume of roots is...
