    Needs help with led lights

    One 192 alone gets you 1200 in the hot spot. How do you figure 4 will get 250?

    Needs help with led lights

    I didn't plan on getting 2 more Mars. I would like to keep the Mars as backups and purchase 4 led lights. I think with 4 lights vs the 2 I will be able to get full coverage of the 5x5 tent instead of having wasted light around the edges of the tent

    Shall I scrog or not ?

    The thing about scrogging is you wanna use a plant you can top so you can fill out the canopy. Autos veg for a month I believe? So if you top an auto it's gonna slow down but still won't delay when she flowers. And if you don't top, she's gonna grow right on up past the scrog to the point you...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    That's great advice man. Thanks a million. Sounds like I'm gonna be doing a lot of transplanting in my next grow. I read that a rule of thumb is one gallon of soil per foot of plant. But what if I top? Obviously they will be a lot smaller but that won't mean the roots will be smaller. Do the the...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    I'm gonna try plastic pots next time around. I've only used smart pots cause I read they were "the best". Maybe they would work better if I just save them for flower. I plan on doing my first clones ever before I set my girls into flower. So from rockwool I will definitely be transplanting from...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    I bought a soil pH reading that also has a moisture reader. My soil is about 6.8 but I noticed that even though my pot feels empty and I would normally water, in the center of the pot it's still pretty damn moist. So I think it conclusion, I was just overwatering. I have some organic plant food...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    I actually do not transplant. 4 outta 5 of my grows have been taking a germinated seed and placing it straight into final pot. The one time I did transplant she went into shock. So I just try to avoid transplanting all together. I happen to come across an article about coast of maine soil and it...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    What if I add pulverized dolomite lime the next time I water to give it some cal/mag? Or what about a compost tea like bonticare pure blend?

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    I'm pretty good about not overwatering. Not saying it's perfect. Especially switching to a new soil. I've always used ffof which is a lot lighter than coast of maine. I'm still adjusting to the weight difference when I lift my pots to see if they need water. Also I stick my finger first knuckle...

    pH and nutrient problems in organic soil

    This is my first organic grow and the soil I went with is coast of maine pro mix. From what I read, with organic soils there is no need for nutes or adjust ph. I'm also using ro water which as we all know, strips calcium and magnesium from the water. I have two girls, one pineapple express and...

    Questions regarding organic soil

    I will definitely check the runoff after she matures a little more and I can water to the point of runoff. I'm pretty interested to see what the pH is gonna read.
