    Dissolving seabird guano granules.

    hm sounds like a lot of work for little benefit. i would simply topdress your granules or mix them in to the soil, may brew some tea, funghi, bacteria, sugar and bubbles, pour that over your topdressed granules and i guess you should be fine. otherwise grind it, i wouldnt cook it, as you say...

    If you could only use three amendments...?

    interesting, seems i dont need any epsom anymore in organics. but the pellets do contain epsom salt, quite sure, so that may tricks me.

    Plastic vs. Fiber Pots

    true, while you can avoid that by wrapping the fabric pots in celophane foil. at some point it will just imitate a plastic pot of course.

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    the open circuit voltage is basically the headroom as these units need to operate over a wide temp range. i once connected a HLG240 C1750, 143V max, 146V OCV, instead of a HLG320 C2100, 152V max, OCV 156V i normally used. 153V where needed for the leds (using the 2100mA driver). it wasnt able...

    Scrog

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    i wont just dim slightly if youre above the open circuit voltage of 182V (stated in the data sheet). the driver will go in to a special startup mode then, your leds will flicker. it does this in the hope the leds will heat up enough so the voltage demand will become lower (heated up the voltage...

    A Guide To Colloidal Silver

    it sounded like you have no easy source for silver nitrate in canada, like in europe. its to get but, not without giving your passport data. i found his recommenation, was more detailed then i remebered. " Those sticks at least in Spain contain about 50mg per stick of silver nitrate .. The...

    is a 400w hps too much for a 4x4 grow tent?

    Low Wattage Light Burn

    they will be able to take more when flipped to 12/12. i veg with even less watts then you, yes they can be sensitive in that stage. youre not even having a half sqaure meter there to light, the 130W will do fine likely in flower. using 2 boards amd drive them low could be benefical, especially...
