    Water quality reports and chlorine

    Yep, I missed that I'd thrown that in there, got cut off when you quoted it the first time. Oops. Wishful thinking on my part, here's hoping the ECHA gets it right. :) I'm not heated at all, actually laughing a bit. :) You're quite worked up over it. GMO is evil, glyphosate is nasty. R/O grows...

    Water quality reports and chlorine

    No, it isn't. (Deja-vu?) What this means is they're allowing it, while they wait the final ECHA decision. This is definitely NOT a 15 year renewal, my statement is accurate. (edit: You're getting pretty heated up about this. You're aware the more a person believes a lie, the greater their...

    Water quality reports and chlorine

    A little more 'light' reading on the facts coming out about glyphosate Oh yeah, really nice and healthy stuff. Fortunately, the amounts in rain water are a mere pittance, compared to how much builds up in seeds and oils. It passes from the seeds and oils into the animals eating them. It also...

    Water quality reports and chlorine

    Yes, it does. One study is here Apparently the half-life of glyphosate, in clay soils, is up to 22 years. LOLOLOLOLOL! Now that's funny. Billed as the "safest pesticide/herbicide ever invented" and it's backfiring horribly. Asbestos was also billed as the most amazing substance for thermal...

    Water quality reports and chlorine

    Rainwater in North America, even in very remote locations, now contains glyphosate. Active carbon filters (before your r/o filter) remove glyphosate.

    Spotty leaves

    Yes, the water is fine. :) I won't spray anything in flower. I'll either chop it all down or let it run out till harvest. I'd go with something like a heavy plastic sheet, wrapped to the stem, possibly with a towel underneath to catch drips. Yes. Anything over 70% works. Nope, sounds like it...

    Dude, you really need to try water and iso for yourself. Super effective, super simple, super cheap. The borg are slaves to their breeding cycle, break it and they're gone. 14 days with iso and water and they're gone.

    Spotty leaves

    YW. Higher than 1oz and I seriously am not interested in breathing the fumes, I still spray where I'm not breathing it, if at all possible. Watch the root zone. Please be sure to post your results as well. :) 7 sprays, every 2 days. :)

    Spotty leaves

    Yes, the water and isopropyl alcohol I mentioned. Will work on both the mother plants and cuttings. Just keep it out of the root zone, like I mentioned and spray (plus rinse) every 2 days for 14 days. Quick, inexpensive and very effective.

    Spotty leaves

    Yeah, he's still in veg, these are mums. No need for any toxic stuff, I keep telling you safer's or water/iso will do fine. The most important thing you need to be aware of, is the infestation will continue until the breeding cycle is broken. Mites are easy, spray every 2 days for 14 days...

    Spotty leaves

    There are webs and eggs under the leaves, the tops look exactly like mite damage. Have you ever had mites? I moved to Colorado 6 years ago a quite a few growers have mite issues. This is exactly what it looks like.

    Spotty leaves

    Spinosad is rather ineffective with mites. Even safer's soap would be better. Using water and iso dissolves the webs and eggs and is quite cheap and effective. The only downside is breathing a bit of the iso. Would love to find a grower with mites and use ethanol to see if the same effect. Would...

    Spotty leaves

    One ounce of 70-90% isopropyl alcohol, per gallon of r/o water. Keep the iso out of the root zone, you've been warned, also use plenty of ventilation and stand 'upwind.' Iso is bad for human tissue and organs. Tip your plants to the side, cover the root zone. Spray them down completely, let sit...

    Ak48xLucca brasi 600w rdwc First time Hydro

    kk, since you didn't start the res this way, go ahead and use pH down to set it at 5.4. Should drop back to 5.4 the next time you add nutes at 6.0 again, without any pH down needed. :)

    CBD Therapy grow

    Charlotte's web is bullshit. Doesn't work as well as other strains for most people anyway, so don't feel bad you're unable to afford it. You'll still want a good 1:1 ratio of THC:CBD, you'll find high cbd, low thc is really not as effective. CBD is only marginally effective without at least...

    Ak48xLucca brasi 600w rdwc First time Hydro

    5.8-6.0? time to drop back to 5.4. What's the pH after you bumped it to 400ppm?

    CBD Therapy grow

    My first high CBD was harlequin. Smoked a big fat bowl and within a few short minutes my back started hurting. Became really intense for about 5 or 6 minutes. Suddenly my spine popped into place and a huge load of pain went away. lol Relaxed a lot of pent up muscle tension. :) I use mainly...

    Let us know what percent you find the sleepy creeping in. ;) As far as I'm aware, ripe for THC is also ripe for all other cannabinoids.

    This is the old-school info I learned 15 years ago. I've noticed proper res management for dwc is a rarity to see these days. Very glad to find a receptive audience. You'll really appreciate it. ;)
