Alright cool thanks.
Yeah Beech said the same thing about my P levels. I am currently making a tea brew and I totally spaced the P problem and mixed in the High P Bat guano. I would hate to throw the batch out but if I have to I have to. You think I can just cut it with water?

Alright, I'll go ahead and cut this batch so I don't have to waste it. Next feed I'll make sure to add less, or skip the High P guano if it's still an issue after the feed tomorrow.

Start low and work up, no doubt. I mean I did a half dose last time. Think I should cut it in half again, or cut it 1/4 strength? It's just that basic flower AACT recipe. Seabird guano, high p bat guano, ewc, maxicrop, and molasses.

Should I still cut it to 1/2 strength like I did the last feed or full now?

Alright, sounds like a plan. I have the Mexican Bat Guano for high N but don't use that, use the Jamaican for High P. I did just notice the seabird is 12-11-2, so high N and P.

Yeah, well typical me to overlook, just follow the recipe, and not look at the fertilizer grade. 
I'll have to ease up on the seabird next feeding.
Oh I know Beech knows is stuff, who do you think pushed me towards making teas?

hey allday just found this thread and im gonna follow! I like what I see! I have been running a 600 hps kooltube since 2008 ( I am a Taurus/Gemini and stubborn as the day is long.) I just got a digital ballast and hood to try out, my main thing im perplexed with is the litany of bulbs available to digi ballasts compared to magnetic like I was using. Normally I wouldn't stray from an eye hortilux for my kooltube and mag ballast cause it just plain gets the job done imho. Now I see ushio's and another that are digi bulbs that claim to be better and cheaper than eye hortilux. Any of you guys have any insight on this? 
I offered him 400.00 cash for this gear its new never used!

Hey VMT, welcome aboard. I appreciate the compliment, gives me a nice self esteem boost haha. I am also a Taurus so I know about the stubbornness no doubt
As for the lighting, sorry to say, but I personally have no idea haha. This is my first time running with HPS lighting and I know next to nothing besides the basic. I'm sure others on the thread would know.Will do Beech.

I love mag ballast cause there easy to work on and fix.Ive Tried the eye bulb,imo a plantmax is just as good as long as replaced every 4 grows.12/12.
Been wanting a light rail let me know if you get it and outcome.....

why thankyou gents! I am grateful that I come from a state where neighbors helping neighbors is actually a mantra instead of a neat idea from the 60's lmao! Cant wait to try a plantmax bulb, and i'd like to say to allday and folks here that if you'd like a basic bat-guano seedling-veg-flower recipe I have a couple I can share, just ask. I don't wanna inundate a thread with a recipe if its already common knowledge here. Yeah I hear ya on the bulb watch throughout grows, normally I (from out of the box) take a picture of the bulb after each 12/12 grow to keep an eye on the blackened ends of the tube inside of the bulb, was told by a supercool stoner here that its a way to keep track of the bulbs lifespan, the darker the ends the closer it is to change time. It's important because as the bulb dies we slowly lose lumens, no I broke my light meter lol , before you ask but I DID use one as of last year, just been procrastinating because my current bulb is brandy new! Checking out plantmax rightnow.
