    Lol, not a problem, we all do it. Where would be the best place to find the dechlorinating products (listed as the first option)? Would the simple faucet attachments be a viable option (brita filters for example)?

    Kite, I'm guessing you mean lime? Are there differences between labels? By that I mean garden, dolomite, etc. COF, I haven't seen their actual soils, but that's good to know that their NPK values aren't up to par as far as ferts go. I have seen people recommend tap water for soil use because...

    Guess I'll take a look at some of their products when I get up to the nursery. I'd like to have a better understanding of the importance of pH if you guys wouldn't mind lending some more of your expertise. So much arguing about it, I don't know which side to lean on. I am about the soil, tried...

    Stop blaming "issues" on pH people! aka "ah cant take no mo'!

    I myself have had the opposite effect. But, I have other problems that need to be addressed as well. I do remember my days with Miracle Grow however, and I didn't use any pH adjusters or any pH testing and those plants did a lot better than my current (as far as leaf health). I was also using...

    I see Espoma (think that's it) around, pretty much everywhere, any good?

    Sweet. Well, I was one of those who always tried to put the blame on pH without knowing the real problem. After reading for awhile, I now understand varying pH levels don't make that much of an impact in soil. As long as the soil pH isn't all screwed up. But just to make sure, do I have that...

    So grab something with a 3-1-2 range, and another product strictly for nitrogen. Do I have that right?

    Appreciated, what would be a good product for this? Preferably something widely available. Organic if possible.

    Much appreciated guy. The ratio of 3-1-2 would be all I would need throughout the entire grow? Or should something be put into play to supplement? Anything I could use the happy frog on? I'd just hate to see it go to waste. Didn't spend but maybe 28 dollars for the two bags, not really worried...

    Hey guys, I wanted to get your opinions on Happy Frog All-Purpose (5-5-5) and Happy Frog Bulb Food (4-8-8, if you wouldn't mind? Those as well as a pretty decent organic soil from a local nursery is what I'm using and I have had a lot of yellowing happening this time around following the dosages...

    Stop blaming "issues" on pH people! aka "ah cant take no mo'!

    This is the "kick in the ass" that I needed. My city used to send out a report on water quality, haven't seen one in the mail for a LONG time now though. Noticed while letting my water sit out to evaporate the chlorine that my pH usually drops from the high of 8.5 to around 7. What's allowing...

    Got a dutch? GROWING AND GROWING AND.....

    Yea, it sucks. I forgot to add camera to the previously mentioned list. It won't be some high tech camera, but I will invest in something better for that as well.

    Tried resizing and stuff in paint but that made no difference..Guess I'll have to use a image hosting site til' I get this error figured out.

    Got a dutch? GROWING AND GROWING AND.....

    It's not that I don't know how to post pictures. As a matter of fact, I do it just as you explained (except for using a program to make changes) because I'm trying to avoid using a site like photobucket for them. Every time I've tried the past few days I get an error. I'll try it again in a few...

    Got a dutch? GROWING AND GROWING AND.....

    Going to make some investments over the next few weeks. Including pH meter, 150 watt HPS, DIY cool tube, fan speed controller. Maybe even some more black/white poly. Should run around $150 for the lot. Still looking for better prices on the fan speed controller and the pH meter so, if anyone...

    150 Watt HPS

    Have a question regarding the 150 watt hps, how much heat can I expect from the bulb alone? The ballast will be away from the grow area so, that's not really a concern. I'm wanting to run it without it's own exhaust so the bulb will be open. I have a 600 and I know that can be an issue (100F+...

    Tried searching for the answer myself and the only direct answer I could find was that it would raise 6 degrees. Would this be an accurate assumption?
