It sometimes takes a decade for us cannafags to figure things out though. So maybe in a year or two he'll update us.

I'd bet a lot of people confuse an RO system with a water softening system and then come up with a lot of different explanations as to why their plants suddenly started doing poorly or dying right after they got that new system installed to treat that hard water.

I'm not an aeroponics guy so I have to ask: Why use plugs of any sort and not just collars? Seems like the plugs are just causing problems, are an expense in money if you are doing a lot, and then you have to spend the time cutting them off each one (which probably also isn't optimal for the...

I have a 200-something watt LED for seedlings and the first couple of weeks of veg. I do dim it for seedlings until their first leaves are out and going - I start it out really low/close when it's dimmed. The 600w should work dimmed down to 10% and close theoretically... just thinking though...

Keep at it - 'failure is the best teacher' is as true of a truism as there can be.

Think you have several issues going on: 1) They've stretched quite a bit for more light. Might want to just get a cheap fluorescent or a couple of CFLs for starting seedlings that you can keep within inches of them. 2) Agree with others that the rockwool probably cubes shouldn't need to be...

Since you mentioned DWC/hydro, thought I'd mention that you might want to skip making your own compost tea in favor of getting a dry product of selected mycorrhizae with probiotic bacteria. And also since you mentioned not wanting to do trial and error: you can find "instant" dry compost tea...

Like @Lordhooha, I've done away with ppm. Using just base EC meters/monitors now. No real point/benefit to using ppm, especially when people tend not to clarify what conversion they might be using/citing when it comes to ppm.

Don't even bother looking at trichomes closely until at least week 8 or 9. And even then, come up with a more comprehensive standard to determine when to chop and hold off if any doubt at all about ripeness.

Add a few weeks to that next time.

How long are you flowering for?

To be fair, this is just a harmless hobby for a lot of us. Unlike skydiving where not getting something right or optimal will turn you into a dirt dart.

I about spit my coffee when I read that too.

You just jogged my memory. Sorry, don't want to derail the thread but the local hydro store near where I lived at the time used to give that magazine out for free whenever I'd visit - and liked it. Is it still around? Quick Google search and I just see that they have a FB page.

Yeah their website description says "our strain comes from an old phenotype, very difficult to find nowadays" and I'm really hoping that's true. But I guess I wasn't expecting heterosis/"hybrid vigor"-like growth from an established/old phenotype. But maybe it's just a really vigorous growing...

I was on a hunt recently to find as old of an original line of Northern Lights as I could find - and settled on Pyramid Seeds for it. I had no prior experience with anything from Pyramid Seeds but they seem legit ass far as being carried by major seedbanks and I couldn't find much derogatory...

I haven't looked at the seed/strain scene for quite a few years. There's always been a lot of shady practices out there involved with seeds/strains - so I'm trying to get caught up on who's legit and who are the scammers/unreliable. But of course the name made me question legitimacy but after...

Are you referring to CopyCat Genetics?

Just to give you an idea sometime. Go to YouTube and find one of the people that review grow lights that have been sent to them by companies and look at how long they've had their YT channels, how much work went into producing all the content on their channels, and how many subscribers they had...

Well yeah - whatever volume is in the lines/piping to and from and the chiller itself would become part of the total system volume. I'm wondering if that flow rate is low enough you could modify use of the top feed ring for WaterFarms by putting it in upside down and feeding it with the...
