    The capabilities of a simple soil (and a 1000w DE bulb with SIPs)

    Thanks for the answer kratos; great explanation. Must confess i wasn't aware about the DE technology in HPS lamps. I can't get DE bulbs in my country, also no dimmable ballasts. Right now i believe i will be adding another 400W bulb since i already have an extra ballast and a friend can lend...

    The capabilities of a simple soil (and a 1000w DE bulb with SIPs)

    Nothing to apologize! Hope everything is going ok. I have a SE 400W HPS bulb. Still can't decide between upgrading the light to something else, or just keep on dialing other aspects and try to yield as much as i can get from that 400W bulb.

    Just a little poll, about compost teas. Do you use them as an organic grower?

    Noob grower and without a formed opinion, but i give you some observations about my experience: 4 weeks ago i mixed a organic soil batch, with EWC coming from not the best source. And 1 week ago, i bought good quality EWC, so decided to brew a tea with this better quality EWC to water my...

    The capabilities of a simple soil (and a 1000w DE bulb with SIPs)

    Great thread kratos. You've been helpful to me on many of my threads and it's pretty good to see how you do your grow. Wanted to hit you with a question: One of my main amendments is a 5-7-15 dry commercial fert in pellet form; composed of cow manure, seadbird guano and beet vinasse. I used it...

    Thrips day 42 of flower

    Hello RIU. Tomorrow will begin week 7 of flower. Strain is Belladona, the breeder says 9 weeks. I don't believe so but that's the data. My plant has thrips. Not sure when they appeared, maybe a week ago. I top dress with amedments and EWC once every 7-10 days. I thought my EWC would have...

    PPM in organics...do they mean something?

    Yes, its a cheap pen. It reads EC and "convert" them to TDS. The point of the post is...if i was going to feed with hydro nutrients and reached an EC on 2.8, that would be way too much. Is it the same with the tea i bubbled? Do i run risks watering with it at full strength?

    Switching to living organics

    I know its used in the supersoil recipe. But it always seemed strange to me...if you are going to do a supersoil, why start with a supersoil bag? And if that supersoil commercial bag must be amended...maybe it wasnt much of a supersoil. Build a Soil has 2 good articles analyzing two popular...

    One Pink Lemonade - no-till cycle 7 in 4 foot diameter pot, 5x5 tent

    Northwood, may i ask about your take on defoliation? Im doing my first scrog and have some squares were there are leaves and a bud site underneath them. I dont now if i should cut the leave and let the bud site exposed to light. I normally dont defoliate anything. As you mentioned, i found...
