    Curled Leaves with Dry Edges Hermie?

    Definitely looks like a mite infestation. You need to look at the leaf under a magnifier. Especially look at the underside of the leaf. Besides looking for the mite itself, look for it's feces which will look like small black dust specks even under the magnifier. If you look for the feces too...

    Feeling happy with myself

    Looks like you are doing good. It is very smart that you are doing your 1st grow more to learn and practice then worrying about too much too soon. The one piece of advice I offer is be sure that if your organic mix needs to be cooked (aged) that you give it the time needed. Most recipes I have...

    Need Information on Cal/Mag Deficiencies When Using Led Lights

    Thanks for the good reading. My guess is it is/was the change of the lights. My belief comes from the fact that the lights were the only parameter that was changed including soil, environment, etc. and was ground zero for the beginning of the problem compared to previous grows. The problem did...

    Led Lights and Super Soil Question

    Hi, Thank you so much for your replies. I have to agree with what everyone is saying. Since I switched to the Apache w/r the progression of the problem seems to be coming to a halt. I am going to be trying a new supersoil next grow. Bought the nutrient mix from KIS Organics. I saw the recipe for...

    Led Lights and Super Soil Question

    Hi GreenSanta, The Apache light is 34" above the canopy if that is considered too close. When the P600 was running it was at 24". Couldn't tell you if Vic High still exists but I am sure you could run a search on that as well as the recipe. Probably one of the most well known original supersoil...

    Need Information on Cal/Mag Deficiencies When Using Led Lights

    Thank you majins. I am running a Apache AT600 w/r 3:2 but ran a blurple (Platinum P600) for a 1 1/2 weeks up until a couple of days ago when I switched to the Apache. The calcium issue started to show up 3 days into using the P600.

    Need Information on Cal/Mag Deficiencies When Using Led Lights

    Thank you for the input. I am in super soil using the same recipe (Vic High) I have for years. During that time I have not run into such an issue until the first time I started using led. I am committed to using led now for several reasons but have already begun to understand there are slight...

    Need Information on Cal/Mag Deficiencies When Using Led Lights

    I have been using the search engine to find information on cal/mag deficiencies that may be cause related to using led lights. I believe I have such a problem developing. I have seen a couple of mentions that led lights can cause the above deficiencies but can't seem to find a thread that...

    Led Lights and Super Soil Question

    My question is: "Has the plant's reduced need for nutrients when using led lights been known to cause fert burn when growing in supersoil?" The context of the question: I have DP's Ultra Skunk in flower that was originally under a 600w hps with Hortilux bulb for the first 4 weeks of flower. On...

    Woohoo! Finally got my Apache AT600 Set Up!

    Hi, Yes it is the 3:2 w/r with 14 degree lenses but I just ordered the 50 degree lenses because to get a 3' clearance over the canopy I will have to have the light at the ceiling so there would be no leeway if I needed anymore space. The 50 degree lenses will give me more wiggle room in that...

    Woohoo! Finally got my Apache AT600 Set Up!

    I pulled the trigger on a AT600 a couple of weeks ago and finally got it into operation today. Pysched!! It is hooked up to a cable and winch rig so even with the heavy weight of the unit, raising and lowering can be done with one hand.

    Advanced Platinum Series P300 300w

    The P300 has a 2' x 3' foot print @ 18" above the canopy for flowering. Their XML series are better suited for square foot print grows. I have the P600 (2' x 5' foot print) and really like mine.

    Welcome New Members! Read this before posting!

    Hi all, Been growing since 2003. Just made the switch from hid to led in the last few weeks. I bought a Apache Tech AT600 and is now my primary light source. I use to be a member of Cannabis World way back when and was there for the meltdown. After that I pretty much went incognito until now.
