    Florapro (GH) VS Jacks VS Megacrop

    That's the same product I have been using. The 1 pound bag makes a gallon of solution.

    Florapro (GH) VS Jacks VS Megacrop

    I found the 3 part nutrients supply plenty of calcium with Calnit when using rainwater and then I use silica as pH up. KISS method for me, the special additives don't really add much if the grow is dialed in.

    Florapro (GH) VS Jacks VS Megacrop

    Even if you need to pay shipping, bulk agricultural salts will be the best value. I hit around $0.02 gallon from locally sourced products. Base salt is about $70 per 11kg, greenhouse grade Calnit is $40 per 22kg, Epsom is $30 per 22kg. The 5-12-26 is a great general purpose formula. I grew...

    Florapro (GH) VS Jacks VS Megacrop

    You are probably using around 2kg a week of salts. With that rate of use I would buy a 3 part nutrient like Jacks, Masterblend or whatever can source locally. They run cleaner than Megacrap and you can always add silica to the solution and top dress with kelp meal. I think added aminos are a...

    Should I digg up my plants and re plant inside

    You can move them inside. I have done it before, but the plants hated me for about two weeks. I dug up the rootball and used a gentle shower to remove most of the field soil and then put into container mix. You can try to use the same soil, but field soil performs horrible in containers.

    Full Moon Harvesting? Worth the wait?

    I don't care to research further, but conventional knowledge would say the moon has little influence on crops harvested for their fats/oils and fat soluble compounds. Things like seeds, triches, nuts...etc just take time to develop. There may be some science behind water based crops, water...

    Do "Monstercropped" revegged plants ever fully revert to normal?

    Thanks for the tips, over the years I always had moms or took some cuttings before flower. I left 8 lower branches with about 60 or so nodes. Hopefully she will have some 5/7 blade leaves to clone in a month or so.

    Do "Monstercropped" revegged plants ever fully revert to normal?

    .....or will they always grow with lots of side branching for their lifespan? I had a Purple Skunk that did real well outdoors, with a very open canopy. I was thinking of running it again next year. The four bushy heavy GMO got destroyed here in the Northeast.

    Just finished a very disappointing season. Four monster GMO yielded about 2 pounds after getting septoria early on. I lost one plant completely. I had one lucky surprise, a small Purple Skunk in a 3 gallon pot really took off and was almost free from rot and molds....got a bout a pound from it.

    Canna coco grow - canna nutrients & cal mag

    Any 3 part formula from one of the large agricultural distributors will be fine. Jack's, Growmore, SouthernAG, Masterblend, ICL, PlantProd all make a similar base salt, then combine with cheap Yara Calnit and epsom and your making solutions for about $0.02 gallon

    Looking for a sanity check on my first LED strip build

    It seems most people that post pics of failed leds have them fail closed/short, so they may have a few diodes out, but the stings are otherwise unaffected. Maybe the manufacturers are getting very good in this design aspect?

    Looking for a sanity check on my first LED strip build

    Pcb feet standoffs are good to use so the driver isn't flush mounted. They will help passively cool the driver a bit more.

    Can i premix nutrients into a concerntrate?

    Yes and no depending on ingredients. Usually, you will need a second bottle to keep the concentrated calcium part seperate.

    What system I can do with this?

    Most people use those things in NFT systems.

    Case in point, the northeast sucks!

    Ya, I'm done with this outdoor shit until I invest in a hoop house with good air movement.

    What's the next best way of cooling down your temps in grow tent ?

    Love it, If you have a chest freezer in the basement you could easily add a copper coil or draft system chiller plate inside the unit.

    promix soil or soilless

    I remember a lot of people complaining a couple years ago the Promix was dirty and full of twigs. I got a few bales like that as well. If I had to rate them, I would say the Berger BM6 is the most consistent well made product, Sunshine is right behind them and I have used too little of Lambert...

    Megacrop 1-part in a reservoir

    1500 grams leaves me about 200ml of slimy foam, like the stuff on a beach shore.
