    From an outside faucet would be the only way. Thanks for reminding me thats an option. Replacing 5 gallons of distilled from kroger would cost me more than I paid for beans over the grow.

    Update Well what a shitshow the last 3 days have been. After watching my plant die for 3 days I reviewed my paperwork of the last 6 weeks. The only thing that was sticking out in my pattern recognition brain was the way EC was so variable in the full strength jacks. The first gallons I made...

    Do you have a minimum harvest weight before the cost outweighs

    I also smoke a lot less than OP, about 1.25 oz a month. My grow goal is 8 oz every 6 months. The first 4 grows are paid for with the cost of the tent/ upgrades/lights seed and nutes totalling $700. Other than power and perhaps ph-up/down but heck these 2 bags of jacks with the salt will last a...

    Nutrient PPM Dosage Theory

    Sounds like a great plan. Now lets talk about data sets and statistics. Your idea is a good one but based on your goal to integrate most aspects of growing into the "app " as we shall call it gives us a truly breathtaking amount of data that needs to be gathered. Add into it topics like...

    What's this mean?

    As a new grower I share your discomfort about internet information. You will never get one andswer even if you ask people a simple math problem. You must research the topics and come to your own conclusions. A good start is howtogrowweedeasy. Another are videos on youtube from respected schools...

    My bucket 2 plant that died was due to me not starting nutes. It had the first round leaves but it was 10 days climbing out of the media. It ran out of energy and when I started the nutes I used the " seedling " pack from the supplier at recommended strength. It never recovered from the yellow...

    After checking plant from side view I do not have enough separation yet on top leaves from next set to cut yet. Will check till I get at least 1/2 inch. Not sure I could even get pruner in.

    How hard is it to grow in winter

    Prevent it like this. No chiller. DWC buckets roll from 71-67. Build a panel for your tent. You reduce the tent part that you need to heat and cool by about 15%

    First grow WW photo strategy question

    Update Put full strength veg jacks in bucket one and full strength veg seed provider. Both with hydrogaurd. Lights at 9500 lumens. Both plants love it. Perhaps older plant will get topped twice. Now question. Bucket one has a random burn? hole in one leaf. Roll with it or prune.

    First grow WW photo strategy question

    Biggest problem is the lights. I do have 2 led 150 watt units but in a very small tent they share a footprint. Only thing I see working is a divider panel to shadow the little one. I can tell from research the bigger one can tolerate veg light the little one was trying to curl a tip so i dropped...

    update Kids doing fine but unless I am really wrong these WW are some hungry plants. Both seedling and early veg have nutes and the big one perked up for a couple of days then ph rose and ec fell and I have pale creeping up. So does the small ones. Fed nutes to both bucket one with jacks...
