I can pick up the Digilux on the road trip. I have to remember there is no rush on this. I would get a dehumidifier with a hose drain with the hose draining out of the garage...no problem....we'll make sure it's needed before I buy one.

Man you've got a great set up, but I know that it didn't happen overnight LOL. At some point when I get back we'll talk planting and feeding, etc.
Thanks!

Well nug some strains can be more picky on were they like the ph, and were you keep your ppm at.
why i stay at 5.8 as a average no higher than 6.0 although 6.3 has been ok to! Just not a sweet spot
for me.

hey hellraizer. ran some pH 5.9 water through her yesterday. got about 2 gallons in the pot and probably 1.5 quarts of runoff. just checked on them and no signs of improvement. maybe even a little worse as the cheese plants have started to show a few lighter colored leaves. i'm gonna ride it out for the next 2-3 days till i need to water again. i'm thinking it could be a lack of nitrogen. gonna throw some veg nutes in the mix next time. see how she reacts to that. probably keep it at 5.9 for that watering and see if it was the nitrogen. if not then i'm gonna move back to 6.3.

It takes time to see a change, to a week! But nothing is rong with adding some N i would go
with a sensi cal sup! That would target cal/mag and N. but do as you feel is right

i'm watering pretty much every 3 days now. so with this pH watering and the next pH feeding at 5.9 then that would be 9 days at pH 5.9 and 6 days with the added nitrogen. do you think thta would be long enough to test out the theory of the pH being too high at 6.3?

i already add about 150ppm of cal/mag to each feeding. i'm just gonna add some sensi grow 2 part to my nutrient mix. probably go with 600ppm of connoisseur. 400ppm of the sensi grow and 150ppm of cal/mag. that would be a decent N boost.

any thoughts?

Sinse i dont use sensi grow or connoisseur i dont know the chemical make up of it! And mixing by ppms
and not adding your npk ratio leaves me at a disavantage trying to help correctly :(

Using AN sensi and conno is on there feeding chart, if i were you i would follow it to 3/4 strength and add
seni cal to eliminate any cal issue. Fyi botanicairs cal/mag i think sucks.

I think following there chart to 3/4 strength will solve your problems with N.

Alot of folks confuse a N issue with cal mag issues or vise versa. Sensi cal solves both :)

i'm a little lost. why run it at 3/4 strength? i pushed it to 1475 last time and didn't see any burn. i've been giving them cal/mag with every feeding (150-200ppm) without any burn. plus the supplements i have and connoisseur have a fair amount of cal/mag. i was thinking of maybe backing off the cal/mag a little as i notice the advanced lineup i'm using seems to be heavier then most nutes in cal/mag.

guess i'm just confused as to why i would back it off 3/4 strength to solve N problems. wouldn't i want to add N? or do you think it's too much N that is causing the yellowing?

I think your n.p.k ratios are not right and to much p and k are locking out your plant N!
aN formulas are extreme and need to followed via the feeding chart, reason i say 3/4 is
if you followed it 100% your ppms would be over 1800 :( do you have a feeding chart?
and are you useing the new ph perfect line?

hey hellraizer, thanks for all the help man. you are great!! so patient it's scary sometimes..haha.

i have the feeding chart and i follow it to the T. same ratios and everything. what i do is just use half their recommended dosages of all the base nutes and supplements. that usually gets me to around the ppm i am looking for (usually a little lower than half the ppm on the chart). then i just add cal/mag (150-200ppm) to make up the difference. so my ratios are always the same as their chart. just using half the recommended dosages to get the ppm i want.

i'm not using their pH perfect lines.

Well Nug, packed in my garage is:
2 600w Hortilux HPS, 2 YieldMaster II Supremes, 1 CanFan 6" HO, 1 Phresh 6x24 filter, 2 Lumatek LK600's (went that route instead), 1 4" Ecoplus fan, 2 240v Intermatic timers, a Titan Apollo 12 timer, 1 Titan Zepher thermostat, and some confusion LOL.
I ordered the GrowLab 145 for the veg and a larger GrowLab 240 for the flower rooms (bigger than the 145L) which I will pick up on Wednesday along with 2 600w MH conversion bulbs by SunMaster, an 8 bulb and a 4 bulb T-5 HO...brand to be determined...they don't carry Quantum...considering New Wave.
That leaves the A/C unit, maybe a dehumidifier, ducting, a lot of incidentals, hanging adjustments, and a hole in my wallet LOL.
Again, thanks for all the help and I might give you a call later.

didnt know i was getting knocked for my choice of pH. lol 6.2 has been the sweet spot for me i want GREEN leaves all the way to the end but in flower i pretty much stay at 6.0

i have pHed to 5.8 and hell even at 5.6 but i have encountered problems both ways and when i pH at 6.0-6.2 the pH seems to stay steady for longer

but hell yeah its just opinion i have had great results everybody's got a different style, and pH is realy relevant to your nutes too i use lower feed levels than most

Hey nug,
Did some research, now your recommendation on a meter, please:
Hanna HI98150 4/7
Bluelab 2000E trencheon
Bluelab Blu2221
Hanna Grocheck combo
Blulab Blu 222031
Milwaukee SM802
Bluelab combo

I know some of these overlap and some are different. Guess I'm asking what I'll need...or what else do you think I'll need. Picking up the GrowLab 145, GrowLab 240, a T-5 system, and MH bulbs.
