    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Hey @Stephenj37826 @robincnn while you're here do you have anything planned to replace the QB 11 red in the works? I like the QB 18 but it just doesn't fit in my space. I was lucky to grab a pair of QB 11 blues last week, need a pair of reds now.

    New grow... could use some help

    I run a 2x2.5x7 Gorilla tent. Only one plant fits, but it's great for a personal grow. Forget that light you're considering and take a look at HLG quantum boards. I started off with a Mars Hydro and hated working in the garden due to the blurple color. With a quality white light LED you'll be...

    Dense nugs

    This thread is way off track. Kinggrow1 does have a reputation of being kind of a dick around here, and from time to time he is flat out WRONG just like the rest of us. But in this thread he did not come off being a dick. He offered information, and then a few comments with emoticons expressing...

    A couple questions for people who like to flush

    It's the excess chlorophyll that can cause harsh taste? My mistake, I thought it was the nitrogen.

    A couple questions for people who like to flush

    It's true that you can't flush nutrients from the plant- however you can prevent the plant from taking up additional nutrients by flushing the medium. If you add no further nutrients the plant uses whatever it has stored, ridding the "excess" nutrients. In essence, isn't this flushing the plant...

    Nutrient ppm Issue

    There's your problem right there. That your medium has a slow-release fertilizer. Miracle Grow is less than ideal my friend.

    Flowers collapsed/shriveled after foliar feed

    My grow was going fairly well, into my second week of flower growth was looking good; Until- Watered Thursday, no feed and noticed the leaves started to fade. Also realized during the stretch it was too close to the light (13"). Raised light back to 18" I had the environment at 77F RH about...

    My first Root is Down

    The leaves in the pictures look like crap! They are much greener, but I'm not sure if my nutes are enough. How do they look to you?

    LED and Calmag issues.

    Do I calculate VPD based on ambient or leaf surface temperature? My ambient is 77, but leaf temp is only 70. Should my RH be 56% or 22%? 2nd week flower.

    LST with smart/fabric pots?

    I use a hole punch to make holes around the top of the pot, and thread pipe cleaners to LST. Works great and is super cheap.

    My first Root is Down

    Day1 FLOWER Pistils are showing. No further browning of leaf tips, growth has picked back up. The flush was successful. Also, I think I'm pretty much done tucking. I have another row of squares on the right side of the tent I can fill, but beyond that I'm going to let her ride. Maybe this...

    My first Root is Down

    Day61 VEG 5th day 12/12 Here's what I believe to be potassium deficiency, again due to a buildup of sodium from the CalMag. Performed my first flush. I had planned on doing it this weekend anyway, so I'm only a day early. I gave eight gallons just water, then another eight with SledgeHammer...

    My first Root is Down

    Ok I have a potassium deficiency. No pictures right now, will upload later- but found a few more leaves with browning of the leaf tips and one has along the serrated edges as well. From what I've read and compared to my grow this was likely a result of too much sodium due to the CalMag. Solve...

    what do you think of my LST?

    I tried the grommet route in mine, my wife had one for putting grommets on greeting cards. The grommets didn't work so well, but the tool worked just fine as a hole punch. I used pipe cleaners through the holes I punched around the rim of the fabric pot and it worked great! My suggestion is a...
