    Calcium acetate when reducing Calcium Nitrate for flowering?

    I use Jack's 3-2-1 system. My plants are approaching week #2 of flower and they are showing some signs of excessive Nitrogen, so I am reducing their recommendation of "Part B" (which is Calcium Nitrate). But, I don't want to take away too much of the Calcium component. I have some very pure...

    5 Channel light, thought?

    In the same price range, you could get a Viparspectra XS 1500Pro -which is a well-reviewed light that has great specs. They are on sale on Amazon right now for ~$90. EDIT: And just to add.....It wouldn't matter if the diodes are Samsung or not if the driver, switches and the rest of it are...

    Viparspectra stopped working

    One of the nice things about the rapid advancement of grow light technology, is that ALL of the lighting technology of the last decade still works great. So, if you have been growing for awhile, like myself, you end up with excess lights -lost of "last year's models." I always want to use the...

    Calmag and nitrogen def

    I'm having the same issue with Triangle Kush, at the moment. I know the soil-less mix has enough nutrients in it....but, I screwed up and did not pH my water/fertilizer (which was acidic) last time and so I created a lockout. Instead of jumping all over the Cal-Mag (like I've done many times in...

    Viparspectra stopped working

    They say they have a 36 day warranty against manufacturer defects. They seem like a good company. They sell a LOT of lights so I guess it's not out of the question that there will e some bad ones. But, at this point in time, with all the lights out there, a good company will usually try and keep...

    I need some Trichome help...

    Those flowers don't look anywhere near ripe to me. *shrugs* The close-ups look like the trichomes are ripe in that particular area....but the overall plants and buds look like they have weeks to go. EDIT: I don't know it that is an automatic flowering cannabis plant or a marijuana plant. But if...

    Is this ViparSpectra p4000 light an upgrade to my 2018 LED?

    You COULD get three Viparspectra XS 1500Pro....That would give you max 450 watts and the ability to modulate each light to fit your space. I have two of them and they are great lights. I can't comment on the other models, but, so far, Viparspectra has been a good brand for me. Another light to...

    ProMix HP Organic Amendments Recipe / Recommendations

    This run, I used a bag of something called "420 Blend"....or something like that and also a bag of FFOF (both of these are peat moss based with shredded tree bark for the most part)....I added a lot of perlite, coarse vermiculite, coco coire, a lot of rice hulls and a small bag of worm castings...

    3 X 3 tent: Updayday 500 watt light? 400 watt MH bulb? HLG300RedSPec? 2X Viparspectra XS1500pro?

    After awhile of working under it, I got used to the CMH spectrum -kind of a more pink version of a pure MH spectrum....In my other 2 X 2 tent, I'm running one of the Viparspectra XS 1500 pros and even though it has enhanced reds, the spectrum look quite a bit more yellow/green compared to the...

    3 X 3 tent: Updayday 500 watt light? 400 watt MH bulb? HLG300RedSPec? 2X Viparspectra XS1500pro?

    Definitely! If and when it dies, I'm planning on opening it up and staring at it....for a log time...:).......and then mmmmmmmmaybe I could just fix the broken parts (which I'm sure will be one of the switches or dials).

    3 X 3 tent: Updayday 500 watt light? 400 watt MH bulb? HLG300RedSPec? 2X Viparspectra XS1500pro?

    The dimmer works, but the indexing (if you can call it that) is very inaccurate. When the pointer on the dial was pointing to ~40%, it was actually at full power. I checked it with a kill-a-watt meter, as you suggested, and it showed it was pulling 499.8 watts from the wall. The dimmer is now...

    ph, explain something?

    When you KNOW your potting mix has nutrients in it, but your plants are looking like they are starving, you need to check the pH. When you grow using inert components -such as soil-less potting mixes, then you need to treat that medium as if it was a type of hydroponic substrate and pH...

    I'm not topping my plants this time

    The description of Tuna Kush describes it as a small plant that isn't a big yielder...small, hard buds....We'll see. The Triangle Kush is supposed to be a taller, thinner type plant. So far, that's true. It has been sluggish and spindly so far. Not a vigorous grower. The Tuna Kush, on the other...

    Skunk#1

    Well, if you're correct, then congratulations....You should soon be very rich from the value of those Skunk seeds. In fact, whatever is left of us old school smokers will pay you dearly for them. In fact, name your price.....I joke, but I'm pretty sure that whatever you have is likely not what I...

    Skunk#1

    I'm also looking for old school terps. I have two Tuna Kush and 4 Triangle Kush in the tents at the moment. Waiting to determine sex of the Triangle Kush seedling....probably another 2-3 weeks away. I see DCSE has a new drop of Garlic Skunk -no idea about it......I highly doubt it has the old...

    I'm not topping my plants this time

    Yes, I think there are probably exceptions. Most plants are complex hybrids between sativa and indica these days. So, unless you get some really weird landrace strain from Laos or some other kind of unusual plant, I think the no-topping technique would probably apply to most of the types of...

    I'm not topping my plants this time

    I'm not going to supergroup, either. This run is "au natural." :) I believe that ANY type of mechanical manipulation of the plant is going to stunt the growth. Some ways are worse than others, of course. Topping always adds at least a week of time to the veg cycle, in my experience. I was...
