I just buy what available at the time. Salty seasol is better than no seasol. We have maxicrop here with is just seaweed also, Plenty of products about. You can either grow weed or you can't.

Has anyone actually measured the salts in Seasol?

If it’s a liquid seaweed it’s got a decent chance of salt being in the solution from
How they make it. They don’t really wash the seaweed, just throw it in a massive pool and soak it to break it down. I’ve had a bottle of seasol that literally killed my entire lawn because of the salt in it, now I stick to kelp meal products and just mix it as I need.

I've never had an issue with it. But better to be on the cautious side though. Would have thought they washed it rather than just soak. Plenty of other products, plu NZ has some of the best around and its piss easy to make.

it’s only washed if it’s getting dried out and turned into meal (powder) for some reason the manufactures don’t see the need to give it a quick wash before letting it sit in a Giant tank of water for 3+ months. seasol as a product is trash, as the figures suggest there’s more sodium in the solution than all of the macro elements combined and probably the major ones as well if you worked out the weight percentages.

These need their legs shaved also. Tomorrow's job. Normally about 100 clones. This table is the size of a sheet od ply 2.4 x1.2. tent 3m.x1.5x2.2m. the average yield of about 3.8lb. best has been 5.6lb , time = 6weeks. 600w x 3. It's not full as I was low on clones.
I use a very large chip. Let the roots come through the bottom and they form a matt of roots as no light gets to them . They feed like a mother fucker. Will post a pic when almost done. Its flood and drain from a 200lL on its side, circulation pump, air stone and water heater.

I developed this system myself, didn't anticipate the roots going through the bottom and forming a mat. That was the bonus surprise. Plus i prefer square pots also these days. The pots sit on a mesh as well about 5 mls

No. Bong has (or did u run CMH plus LED? @Bongsmoke420 ?) and i think Ruby has. Quiet a few run CMH with LED- thats meant to be real nice.

I went the 630W DE so i got more penetration than u can get from a little 315, plus of cause it will cover a 4 x 4 in flower pretty well where a single 315 isnt the best in a 4 x 4. Great for veg but footprint is not suited to a 4 x 4. Which is why lots of people run 2 x 315s in a 4 x 4.

Yep

Thats why i run 600hps an 315cmh.
Works perfect for me.
But yeah i like the look an the sound of 630 De cmh.
May get one down the track. An run a 400 watt hps in a 4x4. That would be very nice

I just run a portable air con when lights on.
The coil heater lights off set to 22 degrees.
Run them in the room my 3 tents in.
