    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    Yes. I'll be coordinating it to overlap with say the last hour of indirect light. Here in michigan that would mean I'd move them into the shed and hit the lights at about 7pm. It will still b light outside but it'll be indirect light and fading. From 7pm to 9pm they can get extra light. Then...

    Make your own nutrients.

    Was just researching the ingredients in MOAB. It's monoammonium phosphate. It's made by heating potassium chloride with phosphoric acid to create an awesome bud booster!!! For $20 you can make about 2 lbs of monoammonium phosphate (MOAB). Has anyone had any experience with making their own...

    Moab

    Was just researching the ingredients in MOAB. I just saw that u can buy some pottasium chloride and phosphoric acid for about $20. Mix them appropriately and heat them to blend and eliminate the nitrogen and you have monoammonium phosphate (MOAB). U could make about 2 pounds of this stuff for...

    Moab

    I'm pretty much just like u on this. Most of my plants this year have been done simply with floranova grow and bloom, Calmag,Rapid start, and liquid kool bloom. With this batch Ive added black strap molasses during flower stage along with Moab the last week.

    Moab

    Amazing! Thank u. Last night I used the Moab after writing my hands all damn day. I ended up doing pretty much exactly what u said. I used 50% floranova 50% liquid kool bloom then I did the normal percents for the other nutrients like calmag, floralicious etc. they look fine this morning so...

    Moab

    Could I use Moab with floranova base, calmag, liquid kool bloom? If so should I reduce my current nute schedule in half? Should I use Moab full strength?

    Nutrient subs.

    Wondering if I can use MOAB in place of dry kool bloom. I'm using the basic GH grow schedule. Should I reduce my base nutrients and such or should I run Moab just like I would have dry kool bloom?

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    What area of he country are you in? I heard from many growers here in this area including my own experience this year that the plants began to flower much sooner for some reason?

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    I actually did expect them to veg until the first or second week of September. In fact here in Michigan that is the rule of thumb that is followed. I think I'm understanding the diminishing light/short day concept, it means that with diminishing light (with at least 5 hrs direct light) the...

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    Me too. We talk about 12 hrs darkeness. Well 3 of my plants started to flower on their own here in Michigan on august 10th (almost finished) but the sun was out a lot. I believe up here at that time there was about 10 hrs of direct sunlight with a good 14 indirect so I don't know how the...

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    I'm hearing you. A cloudy day that's 100 percent cloudy all day would be considered a day that has zero indirect light tho right? And cannobis needs at least 5 hrs of direct sunlight per day correct? This is where I get confused.

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    Neighbors. I'm country but if I have lights on at dusk or at night outside it'll draw attention to that area. I'm probably fine but just being extra careful. Neighbor is a hunter so he will be walking within a hundred yards of this area at dusk a lot pretty soon.

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    I thought so. I've also got a bunch of clear gallon jugs filled with water all over in there holding some btu's keeping it even warmer. I'm just hoping there's enough sun in a day in November so she can grow ok. Maybe I wouldn't even have to supplement the light at all?

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    Ok. Another quick question as I could save a few bucks. I currently have a 4 foot t-5 hood with veg lights. Could I use this to supplement my flowering girls during early November or do I have to get the flowering t-5 or an hps hood? I mean it'll only be about two weeks and any sunlight should...

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    Greenhouse is right next to the shed. It'll just be a matter of going outside at sundown and putting them in the shed with hps on a timer for about 2-3 hours I guess. But in your experience would this work ok? They say 5 hrs of direct sunlight a day is enough. But that's sunlight and not a grow...

    Supplement the sun with HPS during late fall

    I'm growing outdoors and I have a few plants that got a late start. They won't be done flowering until mid November. Can I keep them outdoors during the day (in a heated greenhouse if necessary) and then supplement them by putting them in a shed with hps lights for another few hours? Would...
