    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Well the plants seemed to have responded well enough with a uniform healthy looking green. I mixed 36g Jacks, 24g CalNit and 11g of epsom with 1 litre of water each in separate pickling jars. I then took equal measurements from each jar with a syringe, adding it to my tap water (ec 0, ppm 500/...

    The Main-Lining Thread

    How badly have I screwed up? :wall: I basically butchered all my plants half baked after reading about mainlining without properly understanding it. I then decided it was a good time to start reading about it. So I know now these plants were a little premature, they were only moved to these 2...

    I still have 3 HLG-185H-C1400B, 4 heatsinks and 4 cxb3590s. So might just make those up to 4 bars

    Advice on QB288 lm301B

    Thanks for responses I bought a bunch of cxb3590s from KB a couple of years ago, was a pretty hassle free transaction and arrived within the week. The only thing that bothered me was none of the cree chips or MW drivers came in any sort of branded packaging or with any paperwork/instructions, I...

    Thanks for the in depth response. I've only just had the opportunity to read through your thread on 420, hats off to you for the work there it's very informative. A lot of it went over my head to say the least haha. I think I'd need a few classes on hydro buddy before I'd have a proper grasp of...

    Young plants stems very soft/bendy. T5?

    Haha yeah they were left overs from a caesar salad, nah they're grodan cubes. Image Compression turned them into crunchy goodness. They responded well to the silica so might just stick with the T5 for now. Have a few goofy leaves though. Weird thing is the 2 plants with the unhealthy looking...

    Young plants stems very soft/bendy. T5?

    Yeah I have an oscillating fan blowing. Not that they're be t, just the stems feel very soft and bendy. Usually have a little twiggyness to them by now. I'm just wondering if they would do better under mh but yeah I'd rather they outgrew this light

    Young plants stems very soft/bendy. T5?

    First time starting with a t5, happy with the way they look so far but the stems seem very soft and bendy, couple are flopping over from the weight of the leaves. 18 days from soaking seeds in water/rhizo. Don't seem to have stretched too much. Added silica yesterday and they'll be needing a...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    I'm growing after a long break and the simplicity was a main factor which drew me to this. I don't plan on getting geeked out on anything any time soon lol. I didn't factor micros in. I know i can't use GH micros due to nitrogen. Will I need some sort of micros additive, or will the 3-2-1...

    Taproot from seed: Point it up or down?

    If the root has just popped out you want it pointing up, if it's came out and curled you want it pointing down. That's how seeds naturally orientate themselves: root pops up, curls round and works its way down. Its no big deal either way as it will correct itself, however it wastes energy...
