    replacement power cord

    Yeah, cables melt due excess current. There should be some sort of fuse/overcurrent system and most cases overheat thermostat for malfunction cases. But you buy China product and you get a China product

    Questions on why major stretch on some of my strains this run

    Well if all the obvious reasons don't seem to match for the issue, what about the actual medium? Pro Mix HP isn't itself familiar to me, but comes advertised as high drainage, air porosity and low water retention. So any chance the medium itself is different from the others? Like is the medium...

    Questions on why major stretch on some of my strains this run

    Well the usual things that affect the stretching apart from the light spectrum (especially if using same light) is the N/P ratio and temperature difference between day and night. I haven't yet experimented far enough to tell you which of these mechanisms would bring the biggest difference...

    Considering moving from HID to LED, looking for insight !

    Sylvania Grolux 600w Efficiency: 141Lm / W PAR: 1100 μmol / s; Efficiency 1.79 μmol / W Lumatek High Par HPS 600w Luminous Efficiency (lm/W): 150 PAR (umol/s): 1030; Efficiency 1.716 μmol / W Most of the LEDs nowadays give over 2.5 umol/W. So to replace 600w HPS with LEDs would be around 400W...

    ready to harvest?

    Ye, the first on seems to be most ready, but I'd give it some time too. Usually the pistils curl inward a bit more when they are close being to harvest

    Appetite and weed

    Hey, good to hear you starting to feel better. I'm not sure what's your condition is so I'll keep it general. I'm in no way an expert on nutrition, medicating or exercise, but I do bit of all so I'll give you my thoughts :) The munchies will steady after awhile if your medicating is chronic...

    AgSil16H in Europe

    Gotta admit I had Firefox running and it didn't have Czech in it's translation options. Swapped to Chrome and it had it. Sorry Google The Carbon-Si, seems to be liquid with mainly foliar applications in the instructions. Mainly I'm looking for a powder form that would also be cheaper than the...

    AgSil16H in Europe

    Hmm, would the AEROSIL work as silicon source for plants? Tho I'm not a chemist enough to know what the KOH below does. https://scienceinhydroponics.com/2023/02/common-questions-about-silicon-in-nutrient-solutions.html "First, if using a solid, you need to prepare a stock solution no more...

    AgSil16H in Europe

    Yeah, I've contacted few companies. Other hadn't heard of the product and other said it doesn't belong in their European selection. Offseason for me, so got time to source it. Hopefully fellow european would have found it somewhere.

    Letting soil fully dry during flowering.

    Yes, you probably have decent size pot that can retain moisture long enough. Againts fungus gnats it's often enough that the top of the soil dries few inches, so the larvae/eggs dry up, since the gnats lay them in the top soil.

    Letting soil fully dry during flowering.

    There is research about controlled droughting that suggests it can increase the THC in certain conditions. But usually if the plant is drooping already and has to go period of time without water/nutrients, it can certainly focus on getting some seeds ready instead of producing alot of seeds. Or...

    First Grow, what am I doing wrong?

    Watering 5gallon pots every 2-3days, even tho fabric and depending on how compacted the soil is, might be overdoing it. Especially considering the plants probably don't have full on root systems all over the pot. Yet. The droopiness might be because of the excess moisture/lack of oxygen in root...

    Cob vs Strips

    Good points. Built my DIY strip lights in the way that few outermost strips are little more closely mounted. Just to compensate the middle part a tad.

    No clue what's going on

    Ok, seems like the light is more likely then. What threw me off the scent was the one with the main cola looking better than those I thought we're lower plants. Yea, they'll be fine. Just some damage to the very top colas. Little more undeveloped roots/little more light than the other, could...

    No clue what's going on

    What medium did you have? But looks like micronutrient deficiency, because it's the newer growth that's affected and it's starting from start of the leaves instead of tips. Iron, manganese deficiencies could look something like that. So check your pH's that you aren't over 7. I reckon it's not...

    What seems to be the problem?

    Can't quite put my finger on it. Enviroment seems good and overall condition too. From the photos, I'd say the symptom seems to be on bigger older leaves and it's pulling some nutrient out of it. This would suggest one of the mobile nutes. But doesn't really look like typical NPK or Mg/Ca...

    Bud tops still growing, lower bud finishing!

    What was the reasoning behind dropping the Si in flower? I had left myself under the impression that trichomes have plenty of Si in them and would end up rather brittle if no Si was present? On the topic, most have already diagnosed it probably right. Flowered my mother plant this season and...

    Cob vs Strips

    I'd say biggest difference is the light distribution. Yeah, COBs have alot more W/cm2 so they need more cooling. With strips passive cooling is the way and depending how soft you run them you could get away with barely the strip's own aluminium.
