For my application, I run a perpetual veg in bubble buckets until flower. So they can stay in veg anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months while waiting to go to the larger sites for flower. I should have specified this. I'm talking once the plant reaches what would be considered a mature state for a 5...

Less is more is exactly right. Aquaman is right about 6 or 700 ppm average in veg. In all my years I have never understood the insane recommended dosage of certain nute lines. When first starting out, especially in hydro, it's easy to fall into the expensive snake oil mess. Many people hate on...

A mature plant with an established root system can take up 3 gallons in 4 or 5 days in a non recirculating 5 gallon bubble bucket. Sometimes less. I use 10" net pots in non recirculating bubble buckets for veg only. Just because the roots, when established, are harder to work with and can easily...

In my experience the solids based mychorize does not fare well in hydroponics. Even if it says it's rated for hydro, I stay away from it. It tends to make frothy muck water and will dirty up the reservoir. Orca is a tried and true liquid hydro root inoculate. It is a little pricey, but at 0.5 ml...

I've seen grow room designs where AC exhaust and room exhaust were wyed to one hose - on the outside of the tent. Your situation seems case sensitive since your outer room dimensions are smaller. Maybe at first experiment and record your temps and humidity with the AC in and outside of the...

It is definitely debatable. I'm not so biased as to not admit flowers grown organically are better at a baseline. And the tests are there to prove it. As time and tech has progressed, I think the gap is closing. I was lucky enough to have a friend growing all the same strains as me organically...

Haha I ate the rock wool cube! About a month under T8s and 10-14 days under 1000w HIDs.

That's ideal. I usually had 1 or 2 in 3 gallon smart pots underneath it all but of course they got only enough light to put out maybe a zip between the 2. I'm debating splitting the room in to 2 6x6 areas so I can stagger harvests and not have such a huge lot to deal with at once. I doubt I will...

Thanks. I will look at your setup. I've seen a lot of your stuff when I was just lurking here. My ceilings that I'm working with are only about 74" and my plant sites are about 24" so only 50" of vertical grow space. Well, minus the depth of the hoods which was about 6" and (trying to) keep them...

It was. Grown with a digilux 1000.

Finally mustered the courage to join. Have a few years experience so looking to delve into some of the scinse and finer techmology. Took a bit of a break, ditched the tent and working on redoing the old space and building a 6x12 flower room. Also a complete illiterate to LEDs so trying to figure...

"I'm using very little amount of nutes as I'm trying to grow organic in soil/compost/peat moss mix , only giving what appears to be missing promptly , I use kelp powder and humic acid. Anything that I should do more for training?" Starting out, especially making the big bushy plants, it's all...

Hi, this is my fourth to the first post here. Finally got the courage to join. Have a few years experience and looking to expand my knowledge and delve into the science. Ditching the tent and working on building a 6x12 flower room. Also switching from HIDs and getting in to LEDs. Looking forward...

Make sure you use plenty of silicates to strengthen cell walls. It will allow better bending/manipulation of branches. If you break a branch, but it's still intact, use tape to mend it back together. It will heal itself. I use the black gorilla style tape. Silica Blast is a good product. Always...

Try two 4 bulb 4' T8 fixtures for vegging. Stagger 2 cool white with two daylight bulbs. 1 bulb is 32w x 8 bulbs = 256w. They can go directly over the plants because very little heat output. Use Sylvania or GE bulbs from Home Depot or Lowe's. They're cheap and I've seen the same bulbs used 24/7...

I know this is an old thread but wanted to share my experience as these were also a pain for me. When cutting the holes for your uniseals, run your hole saw forward a few rotations in order to get the bit seated on whatever plastic tub you're using. You want to cut the actual hole with your...
