For the last couple of years I have ran hydrogen peroxide in my mixes. Starting after seedling through harvest with 250 -175 ml per 60 gallon reservoir in a base of RODI water. Generally I can get about 17% food grade without a problem though I just latched onto some 34% food grade by the...
Maintaining a steady ~60% humidity and temps. Still, after 17 days I am still not getting a clean snap from my stems. I don't want to over dry, but I also don't want mold problems during cure.
Here is the layout in the tent. Lots of air circulation.
My final harvest for a while and its going to be a lot. My crop I did a wet trim. Major time consuming harvest but when it was done drying, getting the cure process started was super easy. It had the best flavor as well. Second harvest I did a dry trim. I trimmed the big leaves off but left...
First up is an orange extension thats been mounted on the back wall of the tent. I am guessing around 2000 hours of exposure to the LEDs. There is a UV light in there too, but this last run it was only on for a couple of hours per cycle. First run was heavier, with 8 hours per cycle the last...
Like the subject says, if you are doing your potency calculation and figuring weight do you weigh before the oven? Thats what I have been doing but I am not sure its the right method.
If I run the amounts in the feed chart and mix 1 gallon or 5 gallon batches everything is fine and I hit the target PPM. Once I switch up to 60 gallons or even 45 gallons the PPM reading is way off to the low side. All batches are mixed with RO-DI at 0ppm. Some of these amounts are almost...
I tried this using a recipe that called for canna sugar. I made this with an alcohol tincture and sugar. Once it was done I made basic hard candy which behaved like you would expect, though the flavor was crap (used cinnamon oil). The problem was there was zero effect. I am wondering if...
I've been doing a major upgrade to the flower tent and its been going on for months. Couldn't get some valves I wanted. Then the tables had some leaking issues. I finally moved plants in and used it for the first time 12 days ago. I had the tank at 80% on day 1 and today I had to refill for...
I put in a 65 gallon tank for the veg room only. I was mixing smaller batches, say 20 gallons.. then up to 40 and 50. I had these beakers and using those was ok, but they were off. I knew about how much and it wasn't a big deal with say a 5 or even 10 gallon run, but I wanted it exact. I...
I've been stuck with getting the automated irrigation finished for my flower area and (again) I am stuck with stretching the veg out longer than I anticipated. But in the veg area the automated system works fine and with the 65 gallon tank I can brew up a 14-18 day supply and not really have to...
If you are not familiar with this equipment there is more info here. I've had mine for about 3 weeks now but just recently started diving into using it. Accuracy and consistency are my main concerns. I do not pay for the monthly subscription that gives moisture content. I just feel its over...
I've never had to flush anything having always been a soil grower. But my first coco grow is nearing that time, if not being that time and I am thinking about maybe not flushing at all. Part of that comes from reading this article. I also checked this one out. I don't know, I have zero...
I was tired of pooling waste water under my plants and having to manually drain my waste sump. I wanted some type of nicer table that would allow me to clean and disinfect everything after each run. I love the Dutch tables but I wasn't going to spend a grand on a table and a lot of them just...
I used General Hydroponics for the first grow and I've broken down my mix variations by week and duration into a spreadsheet. My cost per gallon varies between .24 and .56 per gallon (mostly ~.36). Cost isn't the only thing I am thinking of, but it does play into what I might try with the...
Title says it all. Looking for irrigation manifolds that work well and don't leak. At the moment I am fixated on these Xeri-Bird 8 Outlet drip manifolds and thinking of using the 24 gph emitters into coco. Digital timer on the pump and the flexibility for running either 8, 16 or 32 lines (4...
Completed setting this up and while I like the layout, the tent has problems. I put everything in and now the main vertical zipper on the Gorilla tent will not zip closed. Way too late in the cycle to send it back so I am going to have to look at trying to fix it. If I cant get it to work I...
After getting these new Mammoth Fold lights hung I am losing about 12 inches off a 7' ceiling. From floor to LEDs is 5'11" (180cm). Then I have stands and trays to think about with my current prototype stand being at 12" for a usable height of around 4' 11" (150cm). Specs are:
800 watts
PPF...
I was going to go with a Gorilla 5x9 for flower and I have the electrical almost complete. Its not a permanent solution, but I would like it to last a couple of years. I was ready to pull the trigger today and get it ordered but I keep reading reviews where the zippers fail, light leaks and...
