    HLG 600-R over a Panama and a Diet Durban

    Air temp: 21-25’C Res temp: 17-18’C Res PPM: 650 RH: 45-55% The 600-R is dialed up 2 clicks to 235 W. I’ll bump it another click to 350 tomorrow, then to 460 next week. I’ll do a primitive (lumens) survey of the canopy coverage in the next couple of days. HLG wants me to run this light at...

    Bud Rot?

    Cut out as much of the bud rot as you can, then spray to dripping with a solution of 2 cups water, 1/4 tsp bakers ammonia, and 2-4 drops of dish soap. All fungal problems will be gone.

    2nd grow Help me!

    Your plant looks light starved. You say you have 150W of light; which light specifically? Have a brand and model #, or link?

    HLG 600-R over a Panama and a Diet Durban

    And now we have a scrog: It looks like the 80'F+ temps *might* have retired for the year, so I've moved the 600-R and the 2 girls into the "production" hydro; 100 liter reservoir maintained by chiller at 18-19'C, 100 g of megacrop 1-part added for a ppm of ~500, then pH'd down to 5.5. Both...

    Hydro system maintenance

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I do to clean the bio material, but don't know if I should be concerned with calcium buildup in my chiller as well.

    Hydro system maintenance

    Do you use it to clean surfaces or do you pump it in solution through your system?

    Hydro system maintenance

    As I'm going through the process of cleaning my hydro system after summer downtime by pumping a dose of pool shock through my reservoir, plumbing and chiller, and doing a bit of scrubbing of whatever surfaces I can touch, I'm wondering what else I should be doing. What do the rest of you hydro...

    HLG 600-R over a Panama and a Diet Durban

    My new 600-R arrived last evening: and after getting it unboxed, inventoried and clipped together, it replaces the 200-400W Bridgelux 4000K DIY I've been using for the past 3+ years. After getting it hung, plugged it in and dialed up to about 1/3 power at 233W output, the top of the light and...

    ...still waiting on my 600-R. Worked today on getting the grow room cleaned out and the 100 liter hydro system douched from summer downtime, and hoping fall temps settle below 80'F soon.

    Horticultural Lighting Group End of Summer Grow and Show give away!

    Thanx, @pop22, for the opportunity to try out a quality light. Gonna be interesting to compare the results of a full spectrum to the 4000'K EB strips I've been using. I have a Panama and a Diet Durban that were popped 3 weeks ago in 5-gal buckets hydro buckets that will be put in my 100 liter...

    I've got me a Panama (Ace) and a Diet Durban (DP) about a week old in buckets, ready to go into the big hydro tank in a couple weeks when fall temps cool things off.
