    When calculating EC based on mfg recommendations, do I also calculate my additives?

    I'm using louder powder and it's recommended to use an EC of 2.2mS (2200µS). My tap water comes out at 250µS. I add cal mag which also adds a little. Should I be going for an EC of 2200µS+250µS+calmag so around 2500µS (2.5mS)? Or should I be looking at the final EC as 2200µS regardless of...

    Stupid high EC overnight?

    I'm running octopots. There's a main reservoir (13gal), a control reservoir (3gal), and two plant reservoirs (6gal each). I just dropped my seeds last night, so there's no plant activity or anything. I used plain tap water and added h2o2 to the reservoir before opening the valves. The EC was...

    Octopot Questions

    Hey guys, struggling to get my Octopot system up and running. I tend to overthink things and I just want to clarify some stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics attached are of a failed attempt and much has changed since them, but they illustrate a couple concerns. Light can get into...

    Octopot and coco

    I got an octopot system for my tents because hand watering was dumb. I’m going through the process in my head. It wicks up water from the res and makes sure everything is saturated. Awesome. But, what about runoff? It seems like there isn’t any? Is that ok? Do I still use cal mag? Do I need to...

    Coming into week 8, it’s been a huge learning experience.

    Elev8 Megasonic. I can’t find much detail on this strain or even a grow log. 49 days since pistils. They started swelling about four or five days ago. Haven’t had much growth in 2-3 weeks tbh. Not getting those big donkey d colas that I used to, but that was 400W HPS and I somehow had a lot...

    What's goin on with my girls, again?

    This is the third time this grow that this has happened. I'm in week 6 of flower right now. Happened early veg, late veg, and now late flower. Eight week strain. I'm following cocoforcannabis nutrient guide to a T. They're in coco, hand watered at least 2x a day but usually 4-5, 20% runoff at...

    Can I assembly line nutrient dilution?

    For brevity let’s assume I’m mixing three GH nutes, micro flora and bloom. I know I can’t just put them all in and then mix, they have to go in order and be mixed individually in the reservoir. Though, can I set up a dilution assembly line? Put three containers in front of me, fill them each...

    These girls looking good at five weeks flipped?

    Just curious. Ignore the burn, problem was solved. I pulled all the real bad fan leaves. Five weeks since the flip, growing in coco 70/30 perlite, 300W led light, 3x3 tent. Next time I’m gonna just do two plants and I’ve learned a lot about training and topping so it’ll be much different...

    What’s the premier auto watering setup?

    Is there a Cadillac of auto watering for coco? Four plants. I’m hand watering right now and trying to upgrade for my next round. I see a lot of different suggestions, but money aside, is there a system that comes highly recommended? Looking for something that is extremely reliable, all in one...

    Calcium Deficiency? Did I do this right?

    Do these look like calcium deficiency? Growing in coco, 3x3, 4 plants, elev8 megasonic, 300w LED light. I'm 24 days after the flip. I messed up my nutrient batch by forgetting to adjust the PH. The EC was good, PH was 7.8. I fed the plants to 20% runoff and then realized oh crap. That night I...

    So, like, what now? They exploded.

    I flipped last week and phew, these things got big quick and they're just growing. I'm going in today to continue cleaning out under the canopy, but what do you guys do with the canopy? Do I just leave it? I hear that I should clip fan leaves that block light to lower leaves, but... that's a...

    Am I waiting too long to flip?

    Thirty-five days in to Elev8 Megasonic from seed (hybrid). Haven't grown in 20 years and a lot has changed. They're 18" tall now. 3x3 tent, 4 plants, coco, 5 gal pots. The calcium deficiency on the bottom right plant was handled already. My brain tells me to give it another week, my gut...
