    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    That is part of my plan for next year's outdoor. I'm gonna install fans in an open end hoop house to move air when heat or humidity passes a certain level. Unprotected plants perform like crap in MA.

    Newbie Here

    Pretty much nailed it on the head, except after a little experience I think DTW in buffered peat can be as easy, if not easier than soil. I agree some methods are intimidating.....here is what I envision if I ever tried high pressure aeroponics.

    Do I Switch?

    I never really had an infestation of gnats once I switched to soilless with salts. There were never more gnats that a sticky trap couldn't manage.

    2x3 with house hould 14w leds in a cupboard

    It brings me back to 90's except it is with LEDs instead of CFLs. Man....we sure did have some fun with our ghetto grows back then, even if the yields were tiny.

    Float/shutoff valve for standard 5 gallon bottle.

    I'm looking to fill the bottles from my RO to use in a coffee machine and multiple humidifiers. Right now I time 40 minutes to fill about 8 gallons into two bottles. I had a brain fart and let them go the other day and dumped a good amount of water onto the basement floor.

    Float/shutoff valve for standard 5 gallon bottle.

    Are there any shutoff valves or does anyone know of any parts that would work with a standard 5 gallon drinking water bottle?

    Whatever happened to Promix?

    They are the best option in the area for all most all grow supplies, except maybe a few things like LEDs. I think the main reason coco has taken the spotlight over peat mixes is the recent jump in costs and the bad light painted against peat harvests damaging eco-systems. If you keep an aloe...

    Dispensary weed in Ma is so cheap, is it worth growing anymore?

    The only way to get anything better than your average mids growing outdoors in MA is to invest in a hoop house or similar structure. It's seems like anything left outside past Halloween becomes infested with mildew. Everyone is scared of loosing product so they all chop early. I'm guilty as...

    Whatever happened to Promix?

    @Beard-o I have been going to Progressive Grower in Wareham the last few years, they are a commercial agricultural supplier. They are very friendly and will sell retail as well. Just call in the order and they will build the pallet for you, then just drive in, pay cash and haul. Great prices...

    Anyone used this?

    All peat based products have jumped in price the last few years. The cheapest option will to be to find a local commercial agricultural supplier and hope they will sell small amounts retail. My local place is great. I have them load a palette with a mix of peat, perlite, ferts, calnit, and...

    Anyone used this?

    Dr. B is referring to peat/peat moss soilless mix. They can be made up many ways, from fine to coarse and from high to low drainage. The base is peat moss with about 5% by weight of crushed dolamite lime added as a pH buffer. Fine peat and vermiculite make a low drainage mix (often called a...

    Does Coco coir need microbes?

    1g/L of Epsom is 100ppm Mg, 130ppm Sulphur. 1g/L CalNit is 145ppm Nitrate, 12ppm Ammonium, 190ppm Calcium. That stays very close to the 2 to 1 balance of Ca to Mg.

    Does Coco coir need microbes?

    Looks like the Southern AG may not be solution grade after seeing some of the reviews. Sorry 'bout dat...I don't want you to wind up with a bag of lawn fertilizer. Hopefully you can cancel if got the that one. This will definitely be solution grade. Amazon.com : Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0...

    Does Coco coir need microbes?

    It's possible you might need a little epsom. Ideally, you want to have your Mg PPM at around 50% Ca PPM. Do you have an analysis of the solution you are using?

    No leaves just stalk

    I would put a few wet cottonballs around it and then a cup over to trap humidity.

    Is this LED light in series or parallel or both?

    They use ground planes and power planes on most LED boards in a series/parallel. You won't find many small traces. The power gets distributed very close to even because of similar resistance/threshold voltages of the series.

    Nutrients Question (switching from GH to Masterblend)

    When I had MB i ran it a 2-2-2 per gallon. You won't have issues cutting Calnit with this formula as it is all ready very high calcium. If anything it is on the low side for N durring veg, but you don't need those super dark green leaves to grow healthy plants. If you watch this forum, many...
