LOL As a kid, I drank straight out of Napa River and Clear Lake CA. Probably not a good idea nowadays.I'm a tap water guy too lol... old habits it doe hard. We have 2 brita in the fridge and I always go to the tap.
Good piece. Maybe I din't express my thinking very clearly, but this seems to confirm my thinking:Yes brother but hey how else do ya learn.
Plants don't take in humidity per se. But rather humidity affects plants uptake of water and nutrients dissolved in it. They can uptake water and nutrients through the leaves but not nearly enough to sustain them water wise.
Ha e a read here.
VPD (vapor pressure deficit)
Ok i was gonna sit down and write out a whole article but i have been lazy so instead instead I'm going to copy paste because im lazy. This is not my work so let start. You may find this very long but its worth the read. Some may want to skip ahead. I have added here and there to what i feel is...www.thcfarmer.com
Yeah sounds perfect to me.Mix silica first, then calmag, then dyna grow/bloom. Towards the end, I quit calmag and silica and mix tap water with rain/ro.
Yes absolutely. But I don't think 70%-80% is likely to do that. Could always move the light back up and try it though
The tap water will keep the outdoor garden alive-barely. But the plants are sickly and don't produce or grow good at all. When we get rain, we get healthy, productive crops.Yeah sounds perfect to me.
Womder if the sodium is high in it.The tap water will keep the outdoor garden alive-barely. But the plants are sickly and don't produce or grow good at all. When we get rain, we get healthy, productive crops.
I def did move it. You think 15 inches is still too close?Yes absolutely. But I don't think 70%-80% is likely to do that. Could always move the light back up and try it though
Yes imoI def did move it. You think 15 inches is still too close?
Will do.Yes imo
I feel like I've gotten some good input from you guys. I'm here to learn. I learn best when I get to discuss ideas, rather than being told 'do this', or 'do that'. I'm sure I will be calling on many of you again as I (hopefully) progress. Thanks!Sorry to need sleep.
That is a pretty decent potting soil. It has some of what it needs to be fully organic, but it works.
To increase the MBE count of it (I would), add some recharge maybe once every 2 weeks.
On watering, I think I posted the usual articles a few pages ago. (Was that only yesterday?)
I agree with @Aqua Man on the lights. We have to remember that our LEDs are more intense than the sun in an indoor grow due to proximity and focusing of photon emission. That means that we can easily overpower the plant in the beginning.
Agree. IMO nothing beats cfl for 0-3 weeks. They are fool proof. Yes - leds are more efficient but they don't make better young plants.Sorry to need sleep.

I chose LED out of fear of a heat problem. How are CFL in that regard? I plan on moving my grow to the basement, but right now I'm in an attic closet and can't add any heat.Agree.

CFL's are hotter. But the overall heat production is about the same because the LED driver puts out a lot of heat as well.I chose LED out of fear of a heat problem. How are CFL in that regard? I plan on moving my grow to the basement, but right now I'm in an attic closet and can't add any heat.
LEDs put out less heat than cfl or t5. If you are only using them for seedlings, its not enough extra heat to matter and probably helps speed root and veg growth. After 2-3 weeks they will be ready for leds. For me, they just work better.I chose LED out of fear of a heat problem. How are CFL in that regard?

Interesting. I will have to do some experimenting once I get the basics down on this grow.LEDs put out less heat than cfl or t5.

Done. Backed off where it was significantly. I never would have lace them that high, but that's what it took to get that 10k reading.I'd say about 10k to let em recover.
