Ever seen Mulder's Chart?
Yes, absolutely making sense. I am going to have to study that chart a bit, lots to digest there. Maybe find something to read on the subject.For example, there is no direct interaction between N and P. So while you are raising PPM as measured by your meter, adding N to a P rich res will not cause burn. If you are getting too much P, that can cause issues. Same with too much N. But if you have the right amount of P and add N too it, you should not expect burn unless you would have gotten that separately from the N.
I don't know if I am explaining this with the right words, does this make any sense?
I totally get this.What would make your job easier is if the TDS pen read P, N, K, Mg, Ca separately. 800PPM of just P is very different than 800PPM of N+P+K+++...
This is great info. With that in mind, of the pink, I think that number is good to go, very slight leaf tip burn here and there, just enough to know it seems I have approached that line. Same with N and the green. Lost a lot of the dark green coloration that was happening and feel any more of the green will only bring that problem back. So left with the brown and whether or not I should add any of that, my gut says no because the other 2 nutrients seem to be spot on and I don't want to do anything just for the sake of doing something lol.Generally it is the pink that causes burning. If you are on the razor's edge, back that off a little. Adding a little N at that point should not cause burns, but your PPM might be the same. Where you could run into issues is with the K / N antagonism. Higher N can make K less available.
The raging kush fixtures looked amazing from what I remember. Keep doin your thang brothaNot at the moment, but it looks like I will be able to finish the last few weeks with the new Scynce Raging Kush II that I will be ordering soon. Looking forward to dialing in the light spectrum for the final weeks of this grow.
Awesomeness, thank you!
LOL I almost chopped that one. I'm having a time redefining the term "tiny" in my vocabulary.
OK, so this has me thinking. My thoughts are, OK, I can raise the green and brown, no problem. To get that in line with the pink, I'm thinking it would require about 3ml per gallon of each. With 14 gallons as our res size, that would be an additional 42 ml of each to get roughly to the same ratio as the pink.
Thinking out loud here....I'm already at a total ppm that I believe is riding the razors edge, not sure I want that any higher. So if I were to wing it here with these ratios and based on what I am learning, I would add that 42 ml of brown and green, let it settle and check ppm. Then dilute the res with plain RO to get the final ppm to that 650-700 range where things are riding atm.
The aromas are wonderful, I'm not so good at identifying all the smells, but she is strong and loud, sticky as all get out.
Good answer. Challenge everything I am saying too. Hold no head above your own.I am a bit confused so I am not going to do anything until I understand all this better.
That's what I am running now. Pretty nice lights with tunable spectrum with no loss of PPFD. It's a really nice toy for someone who wants to build the race car version of grow space. SWG is getting a great deal, but at full price it is iffy if it is worth the $ unless you are topping out on a grow already. Single spectrum lights produce good weed too. That said, I'm not going back lol.The raging kush fixtures looked amazing from what I remember. Keep doin your thang brotha

Not really. I’m winging it based on what I think I know and getting schooled. Limited experience so far but was able to make an IBL Durban (very sativa, much tall) look like a kush.The only draw back I can see is me tinkering too
Much and running a particular cultivar multiple times trying to dial in that perfect light. Do you have a formula for how you run yours?
How much are they running now? I thought I see them going for like 1400 or so… now I want one but I’ve had this medic grow fold 8 for only just a year and should keep running it but I already wanna upgrade. I need to sit my ass down and smoke a bowl I don’t need to buy another light I got an sf4000 and se5000 brand new in the box still. Anyone wanna help fund the raging kush by scooping these?That's what I am running now. Pretty nice lights with tunable spectrum with no loss of PPFD.

Here is a post where I unboxed the lightsI might be up for the 4000 if it were a SE model, give me a bit to think on that. Will the 5000 fit in a 4x4? You can get the Raging Kush for $1000 as a refurbished light. I called the co. and they said they are all lights that were damaged in shipping and they repair them and sell them at a discount....basically a new light.

Sounds what us anti-vaxers have been saying for years. Work with nature, not against it. I enjoy debating people who think they know it all. Its far easier to have them point out their own bias than me explain it. With the right questions, any audience would be eaiser convinced had the know it all been there. I can convince someone about the dangers of our war on microbes, but its easier if there is an "educated" individual there.Methods designed to disinfect and remove organic compounds or frequent nutrient solution changes were sometimes used to control the buildup of these exudates, but studies have shown this is not necessarily beneficial.
When microbial populations are permitted to develop in healthy hydroponic systems, they break down and metabolize carbon compounds in the root zone or nutrient solution, so this sort of buildup doesn’t occur when all is working well.
Plant roots develop and react in hydroponic systems similar to soil-based systems. Diverse and beneficial microbe species are found in a wide range of different soilless systems, and certain exudates released by roots are used by the plant to attract and select certain micro-organisms in the rhizopshere.
These microbes can then work, via different mechanisms, to influence plant health and growth. For example, root exudates act as signals that encourage and initiate a relationship with rhizobia and mycorrhizal fungi as well as rhizo-bacteria.
No worries bro and thank you! Yours is looking perdy darned good, very nice.Sorry sweetleaf lol. . i mean your grows looking good btw
Might have been walmart.com idk, but these were under 20 bucks for 100. It helps with top offs. There are no directions but id say readings are ready at 1 minute after soaking for 1 second. They dont run either like other strips. I couldn't grow without them. Been holding them close to the chest lol. . id get some if I were you. They wont do anything but help. Never over 500 hardness or burn, never under 100ppms nitrate. . the rest might help with you since your sterile. I dont use all the data, but without it I dont know what to add after topping off with water. Usually i rotate micro and calmag every 3 days. Then every 6 a big dose of P and K. No res changes are simple. . it actually sounds expensive and over complex to run a sterile system. I just like pulling on ya since your gaining ground in the sterile path.No worries bro and thank you! Yours is looking perdy darned good, very nice.

Just the N levels and Calcium levels. I have strips for P and a tritation test kit for K but I dont use them. Its very hard to go over on P, and im using Balance for a K additive. I dont even use the Grow blend of flora trio so its a bit harder for me to go over on K, which is the one you dont want to go over on. Its basically impossible for me to go over when I use bloom and micro and balance in the right orders. Im actually thinking I can ditch the Grow bottle of trio now. . . Made my own formula lol. As long as you dont go over on K and C you will be fine. I like going over on N, and from what ive heard, plants love P too much to go over on it. I stopped using PH up calcium bicarbonate and now use balance instead, and my athena calmag has less calcium in it. So easy to keep low hardness levels now. Res is over 2 months old and when I topped off last night the ppms were at like 800. They only drop down to like 600 over the week, but once I add water, the real reading is like 350 or 400, my strips usually say low nitrate so I add micro. If it says low hardness, say under 150ppms ill add calmag. Its borderline silly easy.I've always ran live, you might be confusing me with someone else
The test strips look interesting. Do they have these for N-P-K levels? I could see how that would be helpful to get your ratios running in the res.
Might as well make it an entire bucket lid replacement. 2 peices, the inner has a netpot built into it. I would ask ask you to try putting some plastic mesh weaved inside the netpot. I am quite positive the Clay pebbles are there more for support than anything. If you add plastic fibers, you could possibly get away with adding a 1 inch rockwool cube, and sliding your cover over it closed and it grows up through that. Eliminate clay pebbles is what im saying. Cover stops light, but allows plant to come out, ajustable??? But yea, make it where everyone can slap it on top of a bucket without any other work. Ill buy a few ;) Also can have an access hatch you test nutes from, so you dont have to pull it out all the time. Even if its just a hose you syphen some out of to test. Plenty of wiggle roomThx debating if I want to just print out the net cups too. Make it one piece that twists in that has the net cup as part of it. Also trying to figure out some mount points for LST. That might be better built into the outer mounted ring, but even then it might be too close to the plant. Print Try Redesign Repeat. I'll get there eventually.

Mounted ring with twist lock for easy access to the roots but prevents lifting around the net pot.
