Here are the charts that I use as reference, by all means, do your research. But be careful. I've seen many a folk get burned out with information overload.

It's not needed to check the soil everytime, usualy once at the beginning, once before the flip. Just check the water ph after your additions. It would be terribly expensive if you use the soil test kits.
As long as the plants look healthy, it would be a waste.
I like to do it just before the flip so I have an idea of where the soil is. Also, it tells me where I stand with nute levels.

Great help, TY! So light little signs of color in tips (only a couple), clawing. All VERY light. But turned light off and foliar fed (1/2 tablespoon/gal ff bloom) 1/2 prescribed value). Checked and a few quite dry and that’s after watering well three days ago (small pots for later transplant photos outdoor). Watered those. Other soils/plants wet. Maybe dreaming but seemed to perk up after foliar feed!

I’d just like to have that stuff for referencing. Have few tools anyway. The controller for Vivosun GrowHub E42A+ has little explanatory info at all. Can be set to automate (only hooked to exhaust though). Maybe no big deal but no idea how fast exhaust fan should be. Terrible info.

Wanted to share: photos going outside (looking like mid May) in smaller pots looking droopy. Checked ph, 6.5 ish, moisture, dryer. Watered just enough. Checked later, no change. Turned lights off. Foliar sprayed very, very diluted ff bloom. Dried by fan and low humidity. Turned lights back on. Three hours later they’re jumping for the lights. No droop anywhere!

It's not a good idea to play with the light schedules....I would stick to a schedule...you run the risk of causing hermies...the light is probably not close enough to cause any issues with burning...but hey, if it's working for ya...don't mind me:)

No, I’m listening fully and very appreciative. Everywhere warned me about foliar feeding and lights. I surely don’t like turning them off. Won’t again. Rather do foliar before light up. Probably not do too much anyway. Had to try.

My 8” AeroZesh T is running 24/7 on speed 3 or 4 depending and I think that’s excessive and is set up that way for lack of info from Vivosun. Controller can be set for automation but again, lack of info (and experience). Your thoughts?
Also looking at California Lightworks new extreme series (could run in series with my controller. Thoughts again please.

stop feeding altogether the final couple/few weeks, depending on the plant and other factors. I want everything decently faded out by harvest, generally.
Dude you know !! :tiphat: !!
