    LED vs HPS

    Agree. I'm running those exact bulbs. Spectrum is awesome. No more HPS and regular MH. Now I just run these in place of both. Awesome, effective and cheap. Kind of the opposite of leds

    LED vs HPS

    How do they compare to double ended bulbs? Or the newer ceramic metal halide, or ceramic discharge metal halide. The spectrum of the ceramic halides is about unbeatable in my opinion. >92 cri. I knew someone would bring PAR up... again. Eye hortilux came out with new T5 bulbs. In their own...

    Dyna-Gro Experiment

    No. Not testing run-off. I would but they are all sitting in a flood table and I would have to take each one out, feed, then test run-off. Pain in the ass. They are doing fine I will post a picture later. Just wish I new exactly what caused my issue.

    Dyna-Gro Experiment

    hope it helps. The differences between ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen is something I have reasearched in the past and I agree with you about ammoniacal nitrogen not being an ideal source of nitrogen. I am using coco with no beneficials but the medium temps are plenty high enough. I used to...

    Still working on it.

    Dyna-Gro Experiment

    Yeah, feeding every day. My problem is probably mostly environmental, not completely dialed in yet. I push 'em a little hard probably... 80F and probably more than enough light. I keep humidity up a bit to compensate for higher temps and because running a de-hue adds more heat, which I can't do...

    Cleaning Hydroton 101

    Yep. Perlite in 5 gallon paint strainers is my next medium. Cheap as shit and also light weight-easy on the back.

    If Our Founding Fathers Were All Christians, Why Did They Say This?

    I thought a lot of them were actually free masons

    4 weeks. The cdm lamps seem to be really bringing out the colors.

    Dyna-Gro Experiment

    You might be right. I know the damage doesn't get better but there still seems to be a very slight progression of the symptoms. Temps are 70-80F all the time, plenty of airflow, and closely monitoring the moisture level in the coco/pots more than I've ever had to do before so I know something...

    white spots on leaves

    May not be "organic" but it is OMRI listed. You can get the ready to use spray bottle or the concentrate. You get way more for your money with the concentrate. And since your in veg you can spray down the whole plant without worry. I suggest repeated use till you are sure they are gone. I mix...

    white spots on leaves

    From my experience mites tend to start at the lower to middle leaves of the plant. This is where you want to catch and kill them... before they spread up into the buds. Once they get into the buds you are fucked and might as well toss the plant in the garbage. Unless you like smoking dead mites...

    white spots on leaves

    http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/psfagen.pdf Potassium Hydroxide is what they add to the "fatty acids" to make potassium salts of fatty acids. Yeah, my bad. Not organic. But still way better than most insecticides. You can use it on fruits and vegetables "until day of harvest", so they say...

    Dear organic gurus.. How to unsalt my soft water

    You'll need some way to get the excess sodium out. I'm with @hells canyon genetics... RO filter.

    white spots on leaves

    I personally don't care for neem oil. It smells bad, leaves a oily shine on the leaves and it hasn't worked very well at even preventing mites in my experience. There are many other great products out there that work better. Don't waste your money on neem. Another reason I like potassium salts...

    white spots on leaves

    Anything containing potassium salts of fatty acids like Safer insecticidal soap. Its organic, kills mites and eggs on contact and is harmless once its dried. Not much of a preventative and you will have to apply several times because it only kills when applied(wet) but it kills everything on...

    Transplant questions!

    You get to feed more often in smaller pots. Smaller pots dry out faster allowing you to feed more frequently. Putting smaller plants in too big a pot means it will take forever to dry or, if you only water just enough and not till you get run-off, you can get salt build-up in you medium. There...

    Anybody Know Anything About Guitars Around Here?

    Not yet. Still just shopping around. I'm in the $300 dollar range and I was looking at possibly something used but don't know enough about older guitars to be any kind of "informed consumer". So, I am looking at a few new ones. The first is a Squier vintage modified telecaster deluxe, I like the...

    Anybody Know Anything About Guitars Around Here?

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Squier Vintage Modified '72 Telecaster "Thinline" semi-hollow and the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe. Some differences are obvious, one's semi-hollow, but how else do they compare? I see great reviews for both, especially the '72 Thinline...

    Dyna-Gro Experiment

    Yeah, I wasn't sure which way to go. There were traits for both deficiency and nute burn but there were also traits pointing away from each. The one thing that had me questioning potassium def. was the use of calmag as calcium can antagonize potassium. At only a 1/4tsp a gallon or 100ppm I was...
