As giggywatts noted- He must be a good friend, that's a $140+ lamp! Unfortunately, it does not have it's own ballast. It would require a mogul base fixture with a ballast rating of 65 or more watts. That fixture could be 120v or 240v, doesn't matter- as far as the lamp goes. Voltage required...

DAMN that light's close! I run the same style w/ 400w, and anything within 12 inches- any direction- of the lamp will get cooked! Or, this has been my experience. I have a string attached to the bottom of my lamp holder bracket, I've marked at 13 inches. I use that to measure the distance to my...

I just ordered some LSD seeds, and can't stand the anticipation! Those are some dank looking nugs, and I know the smoke's great! I've been running several different types from clones- mainly TGA's Cheeze Quake and Ripped Bubba, and a cheese strain we've dubbed Jr, in 1 gal cloth pots. I root...

Hmmm. Interesting, indeed. I had never known of it until now. After a little research, yes, you are correct, in the comparison to the dyna gow, as well as at a very good price. I will be looking into that suppliers (PQ Corp) other organics- I'm always looking for the better deal, and the...

The benefits of silica are real, reducing stress from heat/dry conditions. I used a lot when I grew outdoors. Southern summers were hard on them, heat and dry conditions. Then I moved north, brought everything indoors, and quit using it. Then, this last winter, the air got so dry my plants...

It'll take around 6 weeks for it to revert back into a veg state. Just sayin'

The volume of items purchased from amazon, ebay, and the thousands of other online shops, is astronomical. No possible way to track all of the lights, soils, nutes, etc., that are being shipped every day. Only thing I ever worry about is nosey neighbors. When I can, I leave very specific...

I think it all pretty much smells like fresh cut hay until it's completely dried and beginning to cure. JMO

Very interesting questions and responses. I've wondered a couple times if the live plants could be what triggers my allergies. After some looking, the only thing that I could find was a piece that confirmed what I have suspected a long time- smoking bud usually, in most study subjects, causes...

City tap water is often treated w Chloramine. Even after letting it sit for a couple days, it will try to buffer the ph to a neutral, or near neutral state- usually to the slightly acidic side. I had this problem using my tap water in hydro. After a point, the ph adjusting solution will exhaust...

Very well put! I'm always listening and learning, so forgive me for being nosey, but- What's the dilution of your peroxide spray? Would the use of that spray kill your bennies, or do you use something different as a soil drench for the sterilizing agent? What do you use as a systemic...

Couple thing I have found out the hard way, is the 3% H202 is pretty much useless for sterilizing, and especially useless for getting roots cleaned of the brown slime that I would sometimes get in my hydro grows (before I learned more about Beneficial's). And, once you get the brown slime...

IMO, if it were light burn, the top of the canopy would/should be the only part affected. But this appears to be on some of the lower leaves, as well. I don't believe it's nute burn, either. With it showing as pronounced as it is, it would be all over your entire plant. Just my opinion. Dr. Who...

Another good place to go when diagnosing problems- https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 It gives some info on other conditions that can cause mag. lockout. IMO, it def appears to be a mag. problem. If you're flipping it soon, or have already, you'll want to get this corrected-...

Your solution @ 145 ppm - 65 ppm (water) Leaves you with a very light solution of 80 ppm. That's around the level I would start with if I were feeding a seedling for the first time, or transplanting a small seedling into soil.

Not at all familiar w the nutes you're using, so I can't help you out a lot as far as what you're plants need vs. what you're giving them. How old/big are they? How do the roots look, and have they made it into the solution, yet? (I don't remember what kind of system your using) Pics could...

Never used t-5 lamps, don't know their intensity or what their capable of doing. Added CFL's in the 230k range would help, I'm sure. Those look great! As sort of a rule of thumb I go by is- they'll pretty much triple in size (or more, depending on strain characteristics) after flipped. May...

Wow, great thread! Gives a pretty strong case for their use, and the idea of being able to use fewer nutes is really appealing, too.

Hey Doc- 7 things or 20, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP! Everything I've heard you say, on this and other posts, has been sound, easy to understand, and POLITE advice! I believed my ph was in the ballpark, so wasn't too worried about that just yet. Soil ph, nute ph, runnoff ph, is all too stable to be...

SCHWEEEEN!!! I thought that was the plant! LMAO! She's a beast!
