    Can't Figure It Out

    So, I was having the exact same problem, and the reason was an anaerobic bacteria screwing with my pH causing lockout. Testing my runoff confirmed it. I JUST started adding Hydroguard to my next run because it was ALSO starting showing the same signs.

    Help my leaves have yellow spots

    I'd just be happy with "reads the stickies and abides."

    Help my leaves have yellow spots

    I'm saying, put in all the info that this board asks for so you can be better helped. It's stickied at the top. Asks for things like your medium and feeding schedule, etc. It will make it more possible to find your answer.

    Help my leaves have yellow spots

    I have the more advanced version of this, where they transition to brown and start killing leaves. I'm feeding Jack's321 with a cal/mag sup, so I know they are getting what they should be. My only thoughts for mine is a pH shift in the soil caused by shitty bacteria. Another possibility for...

    Heh, I mean, you COULD do this with less relays. I just like being able to control heat/cold, humid/dehumid, cameras, lights, all from the comfort of my phone. (; Took me about 2 days of futzing to do this. Much of my time was hemming and hawing over "Is this right? Should I put this here? how...

    Components: Raspberry Pi 3, DHT22 temp/hum sensor, 16 Channel Relay Board, power supplies, a box, wires and shit. (Optional: power socket plugs, more sensors, different sensors) First you install the Raspbian operating system on the pi. The software you install for the control is called Mycodo...

    Sorry, been gone for a while. So, I talked about automating the grow with a raspberry pi. I did that. Raspberry pi, 16 relay board, and some plugs and power supplies, and now I have a $2000 automation tools for... $80ish. If this is something people are interested in, I can expound on it...

    I don't want to like it because that sucks so bad. ):

    MarsPro II Cree256 LED PPFD?

    I'm going to be adding COBs to one of these for a friend, and was wondering if anyone knew the PPFD or had a PAR map, or anything for this one. I've spent about an hour looking on the interwubbles and found nothing on this specific model.

    Leaves getting gross

    Huh, soil smells weird. It smells like someone vomited smarties. Another plant has this too, and it's run off is down to a pH of 6. I think whatever bacteria this is has infected most of the pots. Ugh.

    So the problems I've been having with the Bubblelicious... might have found the reason. The sour smells sickly sweet, like a wet smartie candy, with some sour/off smell. Another plant is starting to smell like that too and the pH is dropping. I think I have something growing in the soil and...

    Upgrading Cree COB Array

    Quantum mixed in with your COBs, definitely. I'll be doing the exact same thing in a few months.

    I feed when the soil gets dry. Used to be every 3 days. Now it's every 2. This is exactly what I was looking for, though! Yeah, the final flush thing seemed weird to me, since no till means you literally CAN'T get rid of all your nutrients at the end. And it tastes better on average.

    Leaves getting gross

    I mean sure, I understand that different strains want different things.... to a point. But using cannaA and cannaB give you a 3-2-1 ratio, and then you tailor it to your plants. Future harvest uses a 8-9-21 in veg, 4-16-15 in early flower, 4-15-12 in mid to late flower... and then you tailor to...

    Isn't there a percentage of power that the lights will go out, though? (that would still suck because wasted power)

    Yup, I get the ratio part. I'm trying to find what base ratios should be used at the different times.

    You want to wait a bit. I just got yelled at in another thread for it. Wait 2 full weeks before you START introducing the new flower stuff. I Believe you then mix for another week or so before you bring it up to full strength.

    Mammoth P

    Buy the smaller bottle? Mammoth P is organic. Most of growmau5's stuff isn't. His LEDs also use a different spectrum. And Pedro is a really good grower.

    Leaves getting gross

    Yeah... I mean, eventually I'll enlist with the no till army. I'm just trying to get my feet under me first. I realize that each strain wants different amounts, though I've never really seen anyone explain it, just dismiss it as "OBVI they will be different so just feel them out". How much...

    Roger. I'll see about adding that tonight. Hopefully she dried a little.
