Great info as always, Ben. Think outside the growbox and listen to your plants are mantras to live by. Feed your plants what they ask for and leave the flushing for the toilet. Thanks for your time and patience in answering both advanced and newbie questions alike. Couple of queries for you...

9 per sq ft is REALLY tight. The best way to do that if you wanna do it is to use 4" coco cubes instead of pots. They look like the 4" rockwool but hold a lot less water and can be flooded several times per day.

Bubble-cloners keep things too wet most of the time. That's y i still use oldschool rockwool cubes, hand-watered. To increase your success rate on your cloner I would find a cycle-timer for it so it runs 5 mins on 5 mins off. If the stem is constantly wet it has no incentive to root. Good luck!

I've vegged in it and used it only as a bloom kit. Either-or is fine. Don't use rockwool cubes for anything other than cloning. bongsmilie They do make 4" coco cubes that look kind of cool :fire: 4" pots of clay pebbles will be fine for your veg table. Using Lucas all the way thru?

I LOVE my CAP E & G. Glad to find a thread of like-minded growers. I too am running it with GH nutes + H2O2 to keep shit clean. 24site 3kw. The BEST way i've found to flush and clean the system is to use a wet/dry vac to empty the buckets completely. If not you WILL have a wet floor. Anyone...

When you FIM a plant you take off most of the growing tip but not all of it like a normal top process. If done correctly, the plant will continue to grow from the cut site but branch heavily from there up. Topping takes off the whole growing top and forces all the growth the next node down where...

Use 2ml/gallon of the 29%. Add directly to reservoir. Close enough for govt.work :lol: I don't have anything nice to say about CFLs. Upgrade to a real light ASAP. Environment is everything. HPS and a proper fan are a must for anyone who wants nice dense nugs. I can't tell you the number of CFL...

I know the "wet hay" smell you are referring to. Like you said, it goes away after a couple days curing.

The 0 change for the whole cycle method REQUIRES pathogen control. Namely H2O2. To the copy/paste reply about H2O2 earlier; :P It works 100% of the time. No questions asked. Kinda like the lucas formula. I've seen the post you copied before and dismissed it given my personal experience and the...

YES! I have done this successfully. It takes a very specific nute mix to do and get away with and you MUST you H2O2 to keep pathogens under control. The Lucas Formula is meant to be used it 1 of 2 ways: 1. Fill and mix your rez to the prescribed PPM (about 950 @ .5) and then add back regular...

Hey man, I'll be in your area tonight about 9pm. Let me know if you want to meet up.

50 plants? How did you do that? Congrats man. Being legal is such a huge weight lifted off the shoulders. :clap:

NACL is .5. Your nute solution should be around 1000PPM.

the "Lucas Formula" is specific to GH nutes. You can substitute in the AN 3-part and it is the same but techna is not part of the program. I love the fact that you are using the calculator to find a good mix of the nutes that you have available. That is what it is for. :clap: way to grow! As...

the only point to the 45 degree angle is to help expose a little more of the cut surface where roots develop first. The theory is that it aids in root development. I've found my best results (5-7 days with no powders, gels, or domes) come from not only cutting it at an angle but also scoring the...

Whats the temp in there? :fire: Leaves generally canoe like that in high temps. Some strains, and even some phenos of the same strain are very sensitive to heat.

um, no. He paid out the nose for beans and then let the line die. Geez.

Lucas formula is not an issue causing any problems. I promise u that. It works for millions of growers all over the world it will work for you too. 5/10 lucas is for FLURO. If you are using HID lighting it should be 8/16 always. Sorry to get off topic but I;m a big proponent of Lucas and see...

Nice to see you around bro!

When looking at PPM from this recipe you MUST consider the conversion of your meter. 8micro/16bloom with RO (optional unless you have bad tap water) should give you about 900-1000PPM on meters with a .5 conversion. On meters with a .7 conversion the same mix is closer to 1300. Don't overfeed or...
