I was hoping somebody could finally tell me what is happening with these brown necrotic spots on the leaves. I've been dealing with this issue in some form since atleast May 2022, and no matter how good the plants are doing, this issue seems to keep popping up and its driving me insane. The...

Can you put plastic or tarps down? I'd sanitize the environment and seal shit off or get rid of it.

Yes it can be washed but don't use fabric softener or anything with polymers meant to change the textile feel. I'd use just a basic detergent. If you have so much dust you have to dust it off you might have bigger issues with air quality to address.

I've done a water report in the past but then one look at it made me realize I had no fucking idea what any of the measurements, quantities, or verbiage even was to know what I was looking at.

Hmm well I've always done feed water feed water every 3 days. So there is a window where they could go hungry. I just always assumed it would be pure salty crust if I watered every 3 days with nutrients plus it cost less in nutrients and is generally best practice so it's just "the way it's...

Honestly a secondary theory is I use Promix bx in fabric pots so it's possible that the medium is drying too quickly and the moisture is evened out in the root zone by the plant pulling it from between the veins? So underwatering I guess. Like I said it's always been there and no matter how much...

When I say bad water, I don't mean non potable well water or runoff water on the property etc. I'm referring to specifically city treated water with chemicals that might hurt the plants. I normally let my water sit for a day or two as I've heard it can help chlorine evaporate. The reason I'm...

I see what you're saying conceptually. C02 is ideal, but how far can I push them without it for now? I may get into C02 eventually, but I would need to do far more research as there are real risks and there are other people living in adjacent rooms. I want to know the limits to stay under for...

This is in line with what my thought process was. The light intensity in veg isn't nearly as important. I just flipped to flower so run it at 100% going forward at 12 inches? I'm not using any supplemental C02. I don't need pull lbs. or anything crazy as it's just me and 2 others so if I could...

I came from 2 HLG 100 R Specs so maybe I'm just drunk with power on the G4500, but it seems like the hanging heights and dimmer intensity %s are too intense. Are these numbers assuming supplemental C02 is being provided? 14-16 inches seems very close and at 60-90% in veg that seems really...

Oh I already do run trays which I use a bucket vac on. :mrgreen:

Yes the compacting is real! It's crazy how I start the grow with them filled to the top and they get lower and lower the further into the grow it goes.

That amount is about right. I do about 1 gallon water per 3 gal pot. You don't get crazy fast drying with the combo of HP plus fabric? Maybe I'll just start by running HP next grow and then a grow after try plastic pots. I've been using fabric for several years and I've always been curious about...

What's your preferred source for buying? So many are from hydro stores and what like $30 for shipping!

Man I totally forgot about sunshine! I'll need to look into that for next grow. I'm definitely loving promix more than soil. Easier to account for nutrient intake. How does the price compare to Promix? I swear the price on Promix keeps increasing for no reason.

I was worried the HP would be too much drainage, but maybe that would be worth a try next grow over the BX. Im also switching from fabric to plastic as the fabric pots feel like they dry too quickly.

A lot of people say treat Promix like soilless mixtures, but how far does that advice go? Most people say you cant over water coco, but is the same true for Promix? I know you don't want to let the peat fully dry out. Does that mean you could potentially water it every other day? I'm trying to...
