    Open vs closed loop electricity usage

    Hi all, For a relatively small setup (say 2.5KW of lighting) and assuming the same yield, how much more power does a closed loop setup use vs an open loop setup? Obviously the main extra draw in closed loop will be the AC unit. cheers.

    Weird shiny stuff on leaves and curling

    No - I think thy were over fed tho - Someone suggested it could be nitrogen toxicity & I just flushed with ec 1.0 as a precaution. I hope they’re right!

    Weird shiny stuff on leaves and curling

    Hi all, I have this wired plasticky shiny look to the surface of some of my leaves - would anyone know that’s going on? cheers.

    Sulphur for increasing terpene production?

    , Great, really appreciate you helping me out, I’m definitely going to try this one.. I’d be interested to hearing the experiences of others with this and how it affects flavour - are there other people who swear by this & feel it makes a significant difference?

    Sulphur for increasing terpene production?

    Nice one :) I’ve tried terpinator and it cates my tank and plumbing in organic sludge that took ages to clear up - does Epsom daily’s leave a residue as well? I’ll probably avoid if it does..

    Sulphur for increasing terpene production?

    Thanks :) does it really make a significant difference to smell/taste?

    Sulphur for increasing terpene production?

    Do you get mag sulphate from a hydro shop? (Forgot to say I’m in coco)

    Sulphur for increasing terpene production?

    Hi all, I hear that sulphur’s good for increasing terpene production. My plants never have a sulphur deficiency or any other, but I’d love to increase the terpenes without adding a false flavour. Has anyone tried this with success? And what would be a good way to go about this? Cheers.

    Variegated pattern, twisted leaves and chlorosis?

    Thanks all, much appreciated. Another possibility is I changed to RO water around the time I first time I started seeing this - although I can’t remember if it was before or after. I mix the RO water with my very hard tap water to get an EC of 0.4 as a base to start adding nutrients. Im relying...

    Variegated pattern, twisted leaves and chlorosis?

    That’s my worry - TMV. What sort of lab would I need to find? I’m not sure if we have anything in the UK for that. The only one thing that gives me pause for thought if it’s a virus or not is that it refused to spread to the other plants, even though they were touching and intertwined in a...

    Variegated pattern, twisted leaves and chlorosis?

    Watering etc is all good, was just before a water in the photo. been growing for a long time so ph & ec is spot on - ph 6, ec 1.6. Have had high yields & super vigorous growth every time for years - first time I’ve seen this tho..

    Variegated pattern, twisted leaves and chlorosis?

    After taking a cutting from someone else’s room (stupid), keeping it in my propagator and subsequently getting rid of it, some of my plants started to exhibit some markings on the leaves and leaf curling that looks like pictures of cannabis plant viruses I’ve seen on the net. The odd thing is...

    Strange leaves - due to over lighting?

    Thanks for the reply - They’re in straight coco with canna coco feed. I’ve wondered about that, but keep seeing online that calcium deficiency is supposed to present as brown spots. Although I’m still curious if you might be right. I’ve gone over to RO water as the background ec of my tap water...

    Strange leaves - due to over lighting?

    Hi, I’m getting strange stippled leaves with my seedlings. I do use a high intensity of light at this point (a 600w halide at 20” at the moment). Could this be an effect of using too much light?

    Tips have twisted leaves - any ideas?

    Ahh no - perhaps I should get some cal mag. My tap water’s background EC is really high, so I dilute to down to about 0.3 or 0.4 with RO water. How should I incorporate cal mag into my setup do you think? I use canna coco and nothing else

    Tips have twisted leaves - any ideas?

    Hmm - I was wondering about that too though - perhaps I should foliar feed for a bit to make up any deficiencies.. Could the red stems be because of reverting as well? And could that reduce the eventual yield significantly?

    Tips have twisted leaves - any ideas?

    Nice one - I think you’re right. I’m also wondering if it might be because the mothers were accidentally put into flower and reverted back to veg. But either way I have a feeling things should settle down as you say 👍

    Tips have twisted leaves - any ideas?

    Would anyone know what this could be? The plants are growing well, but the tips have this twisted leaf thing going on:
