Not much advice to be had here anymore I see.

im really trying to keep it simple this time. I’m using 2 parts ffof and 1 part happy frog. I added a little dolomite lime, earthworm castings some xtra perlite and some mycos. Cracked the seeds then put in pure happy frog. I will transplant into the mix above. This should get me through most...

Thx javadog. I forgot about subcools thread. Lots of info there, almost too much. Lol The shop here is more tuned to hydro, but I'll revisit and see what he has as far as amendments for soil. Anyone please feel free to chime in.

Hi, I'm going to do my first Northern Lights grow. I'm using a tent, 600w aircooled hps, carbon can filter, exhaust fan is on a cooling t-stat. (Variable) The soils I know I have access to are pro mix hp, FFOF, maybe FFHF. The shop here might have more choices than that. The owner is relatively...

there was an older post I read a while back on water usage vs ec vs ph. It was full of info on troubleshooting hydro, particularly dwc. Does anyone recall this one or something similar? If so, can you give me a link?

The leaf could have been affected from the previous nutes. I have a Fusion Quietpower 500 pump with 2 outputs. One has a red bull can sized air stone and the other is 3/4" x 8" round fish tank stone. Running at max. I have ever so slightly browned tips since I got the clone as a gift. At the...

It's tap, but it's off my in Alaska roof. Zero tds. Have you tried Lucas formula, if so did you try bloom boosters of any kind?

After posting this I went and checked ec and ph. Forgot to mention that at 6/12 per gallon ratio, ec would drop as it used water and ph steady at 5.8. Last night my makeup water I mixed at 7/14 because of the ec drop. But this morning ph dropped to 5.4 and ec is 1.0 (which it was at .8 when I...

5 gallon dwc. Recently switched to Lucas @ 6/12 ratio using GH micro and bloom ph 5.8 She's around 3 weeks into flower. Switched from GH 3 part flora series. Had big ph fluctuations before switching, but steady now. Bud growth seems very slow, but it's always tough to tell when looking at her...

Well, I did the switch to 6/12 micro/bloom 24 hrs ago. She drank decent enough and ph fell from 5.8 to 5.5. Ec fell from 1.3 to .9. So I mixed and am bubbling a new batch at 7/12 ratio, ec 1.5, ph 5.8 to use as top off mix. Hope she responds well.

Yeah, the thing about the truncheon is that it's increments are 2 tenths apart. But when it flashes between 1.0 and 1.2, you have to assume it's around 1.1. For ec, I'm not going to worry about that. I tested the sample batch that's had an air stone in it for 20 hrs now and it's gone from 4.7...

Natureboy, what ratio were you using? I did get 1.1ec using 5/10.

My ph meter is dead nuts on. I have 4.01 and 7.0 and it hasn't drifted a bit. The 6/12 ratio I mixed up earlier today did come up 2 tenths today but is still low at 4.9 ph

No RO in my area. I do have an RO 3 stage I used to use for my saltwater aquarium, but them filters are way old. I'll put an air stone in for the day and check it tonight

Yes as stated above. 5/10 measured 1.1 ec and 4.6 ph And that's with GH flora micro and flora bloom, not flora nova.

No, it isn't RO. A couple posts up I mentioned my roof rainwater has no tds, so it's pretty pure. Or is there something about RO that has nothing or little to do with tds?

This morning, I've been experimenting with the Lucas formula a bit. With 8 micro and 16 bloom in 1 gallon I am reading an ec of 1.9 and a ph of 4.4. I dumped that and did a 5/10 mix and got 1.1 ec and ph 4.6. 1.9 seemed hot to me. A 6/12 mix is 1.3 ec. Should I risk changing things up or try to...

I'm on my 2nd dwc grow now. My first one failed due to root rot and my temps were over 70f. Now they are in cooler area and only 64f. Nice and white. Using hydro guard too.

No expert but, I think organics are made for soil. Edit: that is just what I was led to believe though. I would do a search or see if what your using is made for hydro.
