    Nutrient PPMs with low mineral well water

    Do you do anything to account for low calcium in your water?

    Nutrient PPMs with low mineral well water

    Thanks I will look into getting a thorough testing. As far as my equipment, I have a good ph tester and a ppm tester. My question was a bit vague. I guess for those of us using no RO water, how do we judge our PPMs? If I want to pour water with nutes at 800 for example, do I take into account...

    Nutrient PPMs with low mineral well water

    Hello, I have pretty good water coming out of our well. It is close to neutral(around 7-7.1) mid level alkalinity, and low calcium content(@ 50 PPM). I have checked PH and alk with a meter, but my calcium results are based on a strip test. When i check my water it generally comes up about...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    And back to the LED. The Halide was getting the tent into the high 80's, even with the exhaust fan on high. I'm gonna get a new reflector for it and try it again in flower.

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    I tried out my old 400W halide. The reflector could stand to be replaced, but I wanted to see how it did, Pretty cool. Ive been having to run a wall heater to keep the ambient grow temp in the mid 70's with the LED. With the halide, I'm able to turn the heater down enough just to keep temps in...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    Man. The thing i get is that there are a lot of ways to do this and some very strong opinions on what is right. I think the par meter is helpful and I learned quite a bit reading studies of Cannabis and how it reacts to different PAR levels. I'm totally green on doing it this way but i've got...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    I don't know how real this is, but it's what I got. It seems to read similar to what the graphs for my lights show. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HPGLZHL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    I'll back the lights off a bit. Again, so much conflicting info. I do like the ability to dim the light, using less electricity as opposed to moving the light around. Most of the pages I was reading were recommending anywhere from 200-400. I'll let the ladies get a little further down the line...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    I totally get where you are coming from, and I naturally tend to find things that work and not get into the minutia. When I grew before I was using MH and MPS and messing around with Hydro. This time, I am jumping into the LED world, which I think is really cool. In trying to figure out how...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    Man.. No stress here. I appreciate the replies. I'm all "journey is the destination". Getting the meter is cool, and I like to see the light levels. Ive had successful grows in the past and just trying to learn a little as I go. My light has a dim function, and I figure to use it as to not...

    PAR level for seedlings? @300?

    Hello all, I have some seedlings that are starting to get their second set of leaves. They are about a week old. I just put the jiffy pellets they were germinated in into soil in 1 gallon fabric pots. I have them under a 100W LED right now. The manual with the light recommended that the light...

    ventilation in multi room tent

    Bueller? i hadn’t seen much on the multi room tents and thought it was an interesting situation. Also for A small room that would have to be vented, so have some additional source for co2 seems like a good, low resource move.

    ventilation in multi room tent

    Possibly another topic, but curious to see what folks thing of this. Because I am using an insulated shed, I have somewhat of a closed circuit. The ambient temp of the shed is in the mid 60's. I'm then able to get the temp in the tent in the 70's. Right now, in early veg, and not using the...

    ventilation in multi room tent

    Hello, I am doing a small home grow using one of the multi room tents. My main room is 3x4. In the side room I have 1x3 with 2 sections. I'm going to use the smaller top room for clones and/or seed starts, and the lower room(with more headroom) for vegetative. I have plenty of light for each...
