I've never heard of this either. I've done it for conveniece before, but I've never thought it changed plant growth for the better. I'm not trying to call you out, breh, I'm just curious about what exactly it accomplishes and how you are doing it. Always interested in peoples techniques even...

The reason I bumped, aside from it being a good thread, is I'm curious about the claim that you should buffer your water prior to adding nutes. Since the nutes are gonna drop PH(usually), shouldnt you take that into account? Isn't it in fact ideal to buffer using nutes AS the buffer?

Hahaha, Indeed. I'm going to give it one more shot, and then I'm going to leave it alone. I was hoping by posting that link that we could avoid the back and forth here and try and move beyond it to discussing what factors people think affect preferences for different photcycles in veg...

So, here is a previous discussion about this. The 10th post has a link to another forum which had a heated argument on the subject. As a neutral observer, it seems to me like the majority of the science falls on the side of plants prefering a dark period in the photocycle in veg, as long as...

Why is this? Isn't the goal to get your soil to 6.5-7? If you're getting your water there, and then adding nutes--most of which lower ph significantly in my experience--then aren't you going to end up with soil that too acidic?

Just FYI, both of you were right on, PH of the water in the new house was close to 8. Took the water down to 6.1-6.2 gave a good feed and a little epsom salts.

I'm 90% sure its not bugs, nothing on the leaves nothing at superficial levels in the soil. I'll dig up my PH meeter (its a soil tester from bluelab) and take in a water sample to the shop tomorrow. Assuming it is a PH issue, should I just invest in an RO system?

I did not know that, thanks. So it would make sense then that if the tap water is high PH wise it would cause iron lockout which would cause that almost verigated look in the leaves. I've got a PH meter somewhere, I'll dig it up tomorrow.

Nope, not a new structure, house thats a few decades old. Air is passively pulled from the house and actively vented outside, though, so I am pulling air across everything inside the house.

Yeah, as I said the water is the only thing different about the grows. Does that look like the kind of effect you'd see in leaves from water thats too basic or too acidic? Just using the leaf guides and those diagnostic diagrams that get posted on here every once in a while it looked to my...

I recently changed houses and I think I now have an iron deficiency (here's the thread in the infirmary, with my growing specs and pics https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/help-with-diagnosis.57806/). I didn't change anything except that since I water from tap, even though its the same...

Hi folks. I just started up in a new place five weeks ago, and am using exactly the same protocols in my last place and am having issues with yellowing of the upper leaves and a little bit of curling and deformed new growth on the most affected plant (see pics). At this point I have one tent...

I was going to pull the breakers its currently attached to and use them in the new place. The guy who did the work was licensed and bonded and working above the table.

The existing wire was put in by a friend, its 10-something (I forget) the line has a ton of insulation on it, its about 1.5 inches in diameter. EDIT: Just to be clear, its 1.5" with the insilation. Its connected to single outlets now, but I'm going to switch them out for 3 outlet fixtures.

Yeah, ignore that comment, I misread your previous post and thought you were saying that using the 50amp breaker would be of benefit becuas it would reduce the draw to the main relative to the 2 20's, but now I see you were just talking about having those extra 10amps as a buffer, or if I want...

Appreciate the advice, man. Couple more Qs: All digital ballasts. 100amps from the street. Not much else being run in the house (except fans on other breakers) at least not while the lights are on. Will the 50amp reduce the draw to the main at all?--I dont think it should, but this...

Have any of you guys ever run 3 1000w lights off a 240v 20amp breaker? I'm moving to a new spot and there's only room in the fusebox for two 240v breakers. I want to run 6 1000's which means three per breaker. According to my math each light is running at 5amps (actually a little less) at 240v...

oops, wrong forum. Mods please delete, I'll repost over in growroom.
