Got it.

Espoma Organic Lime. It's more like a clay so avoid top dressing with it. I like Evergrow Dolomite Lime better, but haven't seen that on the shelves for a while, they maybe out of busisness.

I've had luck with ~tbsp of lime per gal and GH trio using the Lucas Formula. That's what I do with Sunshine as well, which is very similar to promix.

I used predators once. They kicked arse.... You could actually watch them do their work under the microscope. But they missed one tiny spot in the garden and the infestation started all over. I have buddy who does outdoors and spreads predator mites around the whole garden in the spring and...

Nice grows fellas....

Thanks for the link. I may try one of each.

Goes to store for Vitamin C.....

Tending to his garden.

Interesting. I didn't know the quantum boards were so much cheaper. I was planning on using QBs in veg if/when that time comes. I may have to rethink this. This thread has been useful afterall, although I'm still stuck in this LED rabbit hole. Originally started with finding the RIO-720...

I've used a blurple board style LED before (not impressed). It still had that hotspot under the lamp. The bar style lights obviously do the best at eliminating that.

LOL. I'm very grateful. But now I have to get ~6 hours work done in 4. I'll probably end up working late..... But I didn't catch the Covid.

Yeah, I was looking at Grower's Choice, who is UL rated. That's how I ended up on here, looking for GC reviews. I prefer bars to boards, so HLG is off the list. I was impressed with HLG I saw at the store. My eyes say the HLG 650 is right there with HPS brightness, maybe not DE HPS, but it...

Okay, my bad. I guess I read something into your posts that wasn't there. I'll get them. TBH, I probably won't report back results either way. When I get on a forum, I end up wasting too much time on it, so it best if I just move on.... :cool:

Not a huge concern to me. If the lamp dies, then I can swap in an old HPS. My guess is after shipping, etc, it's not worth the headache. That does bring up a good point though. I happen to have spare lamps, but if you were totally new to the hobby, it may make sense to pay the extra $$$ for...

Like I said I've been this for a very long time. Usually have things dialed in, but I got some free lamps and over reached. Took a look at the grow and decided it's time to change things up a little. IMHO, it's fun to change it up. I've done numerous different ebb and flow systems, DWC, used...

Yeah, it is pretty useless. I had a couple questions and instead of answers, it turns into a pissing match. In the past I've found forums are usually a pretty good source for info from people in the know. Maybe this forum is the exception that proves the rule. I can only imagine what would...

I'm not sure what your problem is. I didn't come on here to prove anything or provide the world with bud porn. I'm just trying to get some last bits of info before I pull the trigger on some lamps. If you're in need of picture evidence of how these lights work, then BK has a journal with tons...

Everybody is buying Chinese goods - they make everything, so we have no choice. Even stuff that's made in the US is often really made in China. That said, I'm glad Trump started a trade war - it's not cool to give the 2nd biggest economy unfettered access to our economy when they refuse to...

Already have fans blowing the heat off my tree tops... Really I should have turned the lights down, but too late now. And what's the benefit of adding a light only to turn the wattage down??? The way I see it, I'll probably recoup my cost in bulbs and electricity in a year or two. If you...

No. The only pics I could provide now are heat stressed plants. BTW, I'm sure all my HPS stuff was made in China too - LOL.
