So a swing in ph is the best way to go in your opinion?? What would be the best range in ph swing?? Thanks in advance for your help!!

I started noticing that my ph is shifting down instead of up. It used to swing up but I've started noticing that it is goin down now.... What could b the reason for this?? I read somewhere here that the PPM's might be too high but it's right around 550-560. It does increase as the water level...

Hey UCHQ, I just want to start off by saying thank you to all the knowledge and support you provide your customers!! You guys make an awesome product n I just want you guys to know that I am one happy customer!! With that said, my question has to do with the change in lighting recommendations...

I myself have been going through the same dilemma... Would it be better to have 4 1000's or 6 600's covering a 12 site Evo? UC used to recommend 6 1000's but have recently changed their recommendation to 6 600's.... Does anyone have any insite as to what the best set up would be??

I use DM gold A&B also.... I like to bring my ppm's up to about 120-150ppm with calmag first then add my nutes.... It's my first run with the UC so I've just been taking eveyone's advice n keeping everything simple. Calmag, DM gold A&B, & some Zone. And it's true when they say, "less is more"...

Hey JK, I was wondering if E-20 will get rid of any PM my girls have on them already? or is it more of a preventative?? Would it be best to clip all the infected leaves first then spray? Or will the E-20 just kill everything on site? Thanks in advance for any advise u could share!! Peace

Sounds good! Thanks again!

Thanks DS! What would be the best way to go about dealing with this in a UC system? Should I run straight RO for 24 hours to flush the plants of any build up? Or should I just reduce the ppm's, n if so, to what? I'm starting week 4 of bloom now n have been running the system at about 850 ppm...

I was wondering, if PPM was too high say 1200ppm.... Would that cause nutes to not be uptaken??

All I can say is.... DAMN!!! Boy got skillz!! ICUNOW for sure hahaha!! Bravo sir, bravo!!

Wow I never new that about ph! Keep on killin it n droppin knowledge on us newbies bro! So are u seeing a difference in size or quality of the bud between the living n sterile systems? Oh n will DM zone battle the pythium like h2o2? Which system did u encounter the pythium, sterile or living?

AN Sensi sucks in the UC bro. It has Urea nitrogen in it that really sucks in DWC. After I made the change to Ionic there was a huge difference. AN bloom boosters work good, but base their nutes suck ass Thanks for the heads up! I guess that's pretty much the consensus among UC growers. But...

Ya I actually just got done reading Mr.GoodCats thread on his first run using advanced Sensi A&B. Really curious how that turned out cuz im actually vegging with the same nutes. Mr.GoodCat, why the switch to Ionic? Did the AN run not turn out how u'd hoped? Would really appreciate any first...

Thanks for the advise, but with the amount of money Ive spent already nutrients is the last thing I'm gonna go cheap on... I'd much rather go with a nutrient line that has a proven track record with the UC. H&G, Canna, Dutch Master's, Ionic, are some of the nutrient companies that I've heard...

Does anyone know if it's a bad idea for me to switch from AN's Sensi A&B grow, to another nutient line's bloom formula? I'm vegging with AN right now on a 3x6 ebb&flow table, then from there I'll be putting my girls into a UC to finish off in bloom. I've come the conclusion that AN n UC...
