I've accidentally gotten 35% on my finger tips a few times… actually it happens kinda frequently :oops: … oxidizes my skin (turns it white) for a half hour or so. Don't be a lazy ass like me, wear some rubber gloves! Haha. I've never felt a 'burn' sensation tho… but then again I don't go stickin...

I bet you could jam 4 of these in under a 1000w and have over 50w per square foot. Those tubs work pretty well, I been using the large ones for flood trays for over a year now. Lowes makes a type with lil gutters on the bottom that a lot of people use, however the ABS is a bit more sturdy on the...

Thanks man! I ordered the lux meter (same one they sell on HTG) from china for 15 bucks a few days ago… once that one breaks I'll def invest in the quantum meter ;)

hmm, not sure, cutting the glass sounds pretty scary! I ran into that issue as well. I made it fit by running my ducting in S curve. If its not too late to return the cool tube, u could get away with a bake-a-round DIY job for a 400. There are 19" cool tubes available if thats any closer to the...

now would be a perfect time to take the money you where planning to spend on LED's and CO2 and instead hire an electrician to come over and install a new designated breaker and run a couple outlets from it to where u plan on growing. I'm doing that right now… my pad is 100 years old and...

haha, good luck convincing al of that! you might want to go ahead and bring up the importance of a 'good cure' while your at it :hump:

Thank you sir, think I'll go ahead will invest in a Digilux bulb and see how it treats me. Also went ahead and ordered a lux meter, sounds like a wise tool to keep on hand. Along with the dim feature on new Lumateks, there is also an overdrive (or SUPER LUMEN!!) setting… which is probably...

Sure you're probably right. There is also some credibility in the fact they would stand to lose sales from that info rather than gain. Sooo… any RIU members interested in swapping your old rusty 600w coil ballast for a super sweet shiny purple DIMMABLE (!!) Lumatek, PM me! ;-)

Howdy Al, thanks for all the great threads and info you've provided over the years, your post have totally changed the way I grow (for the better). With you're electrical knowledge, I was curious if you had any insight on (or even heard of) this issue about the incompatibility of digital...

I'm tempted to argue out 'taste and sweetness' are uneffected by flushing… but I won't. There are enough threads containing that debate already. Its in my humble opinion that a wise grower should research and experiment on his own, do double blind 'taste test' with your buddies, etc...

Werd, thats what I do too sometimes… sometimes I don't flush, depends on how full the nute bottles are. Same here, I used to do Lucas, now I just go by the label. No additives (or magic sauce as Al B Fuct likes to call them). The basic 3 part GH series, 35% h2o2 and PH down are all I keep...

oooookay, haha, now don't I look silly :lol: I have to say, I was a bit taken back by all the growers on here who quoted my lil comment, and who apparently missed out on the thousands of 'flush' debates thats taken place on these forums over the years. Shits old news! Please kids, read up...

I'm thinking about getting an RO filter, not for my plants, but to remove fluoride from my drinking water! :blsmoke: http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/pineal/

Woah there nellie! Did I somehow offend you? I wasn't trying to be a dick, or force my 'opinions' on you… dude. I was just relating my experiences with flushing and my sources (Al B Fuct, Lucas and several other pot-forum non-chemist losers). Did I say something was expensive? I'm not...

nice work man! as far as your worries about the trichromes, u prolly wont be getting foggy trichromes in 9 weeks. I think Stink Bud said something about liking the effects of sativas when they are slightly immature and the effects of indicas when they are slightly overripe, or something like...

I've seen some peoples on here let the seed go in a paper towel (or cheesecloth) until the point when the catyledon removes the seed shell, then they stick em into the aero with out ever using any media at all. Never tried it myself tho.

your roots are still suspended in liquid, so they will do fine for a while. a day or less, no problemo. root rot is more of a concern than hermaphrodite issues, but again, u should be fine, just maybe dose it with h2o2 that day

I've had good luck with perlite as a hydro medium, first in hempy buckets and now in an ebb n flow SOG opp. I recently started putting a square of sure to grow matting on the bottom of a 1 gallon nursery pot, then filling it up with perlite. I flood 3 times for 5 minutes during lights on, works...

Yes, for gawds sake, don't listen to me! However there are some wiser fools on these forums that would tell you flushing makes no difference. I actually used to fush, and still do from time to time just to save on nutrients. I decided it wasn't all that important after reading through Al B...

you don't need to PH adjust, and you also don't need to flush either…
