Each nute must have its own stock solution container. Calcium binds with sulfur and creates gypsum, precipitating out of solution. That's why jacks doesn't have calcium. This is a max solubility and does not represent a ratio of feed concentration. Divide total number of grams by 3785, as...

3 lbs jacks per gallon of water 8 lbs cal nite per gallon of water 3 lbs epsom salt per gallon of water At room temperature.

Does anyone have an opinion on articles that support pumping as much p and k as the plant will allow in flower? Many state to bring ppms to 12-1600 if the plant allows, and that's how to bulk up the weight. I've seen cannabis business times articles show up to 800ppm k during flower. This cap...

Have you seen any difference Have you seen any difference in quality of light, using the same bulb but different brand ballasts that boast the same technology?

Thank Thank you for the insight. I say, overstretch and overleafiness are symptoms of high nitrogen, but it makes sense to control it through other means in order to keep the plant well fed. Over stretch can be controlled through proper lumens, as well as defoliation and super cropping. When...

Have you ever done a lumen or par test, using the same bulb but different ballast brand? I'm wondering if there's ever been a test to show whether different brands really do put better light quality, all things considered and equal eg same type of technology, square wave etc?

The truth is even coco needs wet and dry cycles. The best method is to get a plant root bound so many cycles a day can be done. That's the proper way to multi feed per day. Soaking already soaken coco will help oxygenation but the plant won't push as hard for resin or buds because it feels no...

Hey brother, do you still lurk these forums? I'm wondering how to get wet dry cycles in coco beds 4x8 as it seems plants would have to veg way too big and waste too much time for the roots to fill a whole bed in a flower room. Thanks!

Thank you. I thought vivosun was Chinese as well but seem clearly more professional? Are you running 3100k or 4200k? That's another test I'm going to run since it's impossible to get consistent data on. Everyone has an opinion on whether 4200k is better to flower, or 3100k, or mixed bulbs...

I must admit, I'm impressed with the stats on this Vivosun fixture. They claim a low frequency 50-60hz, square wave ballast, same as the reputable brands. Vega aluminum 98% reflective hood, same as the best ones out. And a three year warranty with responsive customer service. All this, for $229...

While I agree with the logic, it's just not what all the experienced hydro growers I know say. My proof comes from seeing their ridiculous product but also that it mostly stems from gen hydro which is three part. Why would green hydro recommend 321 aka three parts grow, two parts micro, and one...

Why are your bulbs so close together? Seems the hoods are basically touching when they should be 3-4 feet apart. They should also be 18-24" min from the canopy. Did you do lumen or par test after stretch? That's where the fox tail is coming from. Did you try dual spectrum in each hood btw, and...

What can you tell me about that initial caps formula vs the one from greengene gardens Cap is using a ton of additives to get his 120-40-210-120-60 and 108 sulfur, but with the formula in the video which is simply something like 2g jacks, 2.7g cal nite, 2g epsom and 1.2g moab (pic attached)...
