    Megacrop

    I have a Hawaiian Snow in a SIP with 4/1 coco/perlite. Just moved up to 4g/gallon of MC, no additional Cal/Mag. 640w LED... She is bottom right, five days younger than the rest ! So Day 12 of 12/12 for a total of 48 days for her.... Cheers

    Obviously you don't do the cooking at home ;) Flour, corn starch, baking powder, grinding coffee beans, etc.... It's best to portion out the MC into smaller air tight containers, no mess, no fuss when opening ! I just use measuring spoons to weight it out.... Cheers

    Megacrop

    KISS is the best ;) Before I bought the GroBuckets I discovered a 1 gallon ice cream container fits nicely in the bottom of a 5 gallon pail for a reservoir. Then you could use a soldering gun to make grooves along the top of the ice cream bucket, a series of small holes in the bottom and...

    Megacrop

    I'm in Canada also and managed to buy my GroBuckets from Lee Valley just before they stopped stocking them ! Clearance price of $33/3pc. Got the fourth one from a friend who had to buy six to end up with four :o I have also used the MC in fabric bags and ProMix HP with almost the same...

    Megacrop

    I'm a big fan of Mega Crop one part and ProMix HP ! Extra Cal/Mag and ph down are not necessary..... I start feeding right away with 1g/gallon and roughly follow their feeding schedule right to harvest. And yes, the leaves will stay green all the way ;) I've only tried Bud Explosion...

    Jacks vs. Advanced vs. Remo

    I've grown with Advanced Nutrients ph perfect, GH Maxi series and Mega Crop one part.. All performed similarly so I settled on the least expensive and easiest to use > Mega Crop one part dry... Cheers

    Which led grow light to choose for a 5x5?

    Early days for me but I just switched from HID to LED... Did a Lot of comparing lights/par maps, etc. and the best value and light spread was the ViparSpectra KS5000 500w. Sold out in Canada and their US store doesn't ship cross border. Next choice was Mars Hydro. Again, sold out in Canada...

    What PH for Promix HP?

    Even with a six month long sativa grow I have not seen a ph issue.... Perhaps it depends on what you are feeding. Mega Crop one part is chelated, GH Maxi series is ph balanced, no need to adjust the ph of water in. But if you want to adjust ph, go for it :mrgreen: I'd rather not mess...

    What PH for Promix HP?

    I use well water, ~500 ppm, ~7.5 ph, NO ph down ;) But I feed with Mega Crop one part which is chelated and have never had ph problems ! Cheers

    Upgrading LED Lights

    I don't use ec, I use ppm's and when I ran the Maxi Series anything over 1000 would burn.... If you pay any attention to VPD you need to consistently lower your temperature. 50% and 77F will put you in the green zone. Since you say you are experiencing mold I would try to get the rh down to...

    Upgrading LED Lights

    FWIW > I don't rely on the power knob to set power, I use a simple free lux meter on my phone and convert to par x .015. But, it's more complicated than that ! What is your feed ppm ? What is your temperature at plant height ? What is the rh ? How and where is your ventilation/air...

    Selling used, older tech grow lights: Is it even worth it?

    I recently purchased a new LED and even though I am on a tight budget I did not consider used simply because I would have no idea how much life is left in them. And the technology has come a long way in the past few years... I have a 42" parabolic reflector, a gull wing reflector and two newer...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    I "charge" my SIP's with a gallon from the top the day before transplant. At transplant I fill the reservoir till about half full and maintain a 1/3 full daily until they drink that in one day. Then I fill it daily, usually takes a couple of weeks ;) This is day 30, 12 days from...

    Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

    Just a FWIW ! I'm on day 22 of my first grow with a Phlizon 640w LED, long time die hard HID user :weed: The first germinated seed to emerge in a solo cup was under 9,000 lux, she was looking stretchy.... Two days later I raised the power to 13,000 lux and all six plants were growing somewhat...

    Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

    Giving one to two liters is just teasing the plant :mrgreen: Is the pot light when you water ? Have you used a wood skewer to see how close to the top of the medium is wet ? Without watering to a run off of ~1L it is possible you have a build up issue. Put the plant/bag on two sticks...
