TLDR; Just get a reverse osmosis filter, have complete control of your grow. I cruised through 5 years of growing with sporadic problems here and there with deficiencies, lockouts, etc with tap water, and it CAN work. But once you jump on the R.O. bandwagon, no turning back. With a couple cheap...

Since they're obviously overfed, it'd be nice to get a PPM reading of your runoff: Which is measured by just adding water, and collecting the water rolling out of the bottom of your pots and testing the PPM of that. I would honestly start there, to see if it's even worth mixing up a fresh...

+1 on lightening up on the Cal/mag supplement, esp in DWC. Honestly, adjusting your PH 2x a day might be the cause. It's good to have a +-.5 point swing in PH, allow all the macros to get a shot at optimal absorption. I'd ease up on the adjusting, just do it in the mornings. 617 ppm is ok at...

The pics looks like a Ca deficiency. Ca is a devil to diagnose bc it overlaps the symptoms of other deficiencies, and can even trigger other def's, too. Early on, I once bough a GH hard water formula without thinking too much about it, and had the worst grow ever, lol. Rotting roots, loads...

Being a notorious overwaterer here, you generally cannot overwater coco if it's aerated well - can water every day, in fact if your environment is stable- but overwatering will make problems worse if there's a nutrient imbalance, if that sense. Coco robs your nutrient mix of Ca and Mg. Also, it...

Since my usual GH routine was shaken up with the change in formulation, I got back to busting out the measuring instruments and such and am back to mixing my own nutrients again. I'm of the mindset that you're using more than 5 products, might as well make your own nutrients. I mix and match...

Late to the convo. Hai! Yeah something changed with GH Flora's formulation recently. I've used RO water, coco as the medium, and Micro + Bloom, PH always came out to about 5.8 -6.0. Talking years, here. Now, a PH of 5.2 with the last two 1 gal bottle purchases, and yellow leaves. It was...

It has everything to do with agriculture. These are unskilled workers ready to pick blueberries. It just so happens that you will find that the closest main immigration inspection station would be in NYC, not any of the surrounding farmlands, as it has been that way since Ellis Island.

Unable, yes, because both kids are not vaccinated, densely populated area with ignorant hillbillies refusing the vax or mask up. School has a new case reported every week, kids on quarantine, even with masks strictly enforced. Until my state gets out of the top 5 in new cases, it's carryout only.

Okay so mold. That can be a game changer. If you see any white powdery shit on it, chop now.

How is that simple? That's still guesswork. Why not arbitrarily add 12 days? Buying a $20 loupe and chopping when you see amber is pretty straightforward, imho. But to each, their own.

I definitely understand your point of view. Believe me- I'm pissed at everyone and every gov't entity just about. This is almost two years of pent up frustration, almost two years of not taking my kids out to eat at a restaurant. I miss the old life. It sucks. The CDC has REALLY fucked up and...

Haha. Big fan of Darwin. Fair enough. Well, except the for that simple fact that if the majority of Americans were to mask up actually cooperate and not whine about freedom, the numbers would be much more favorable than they are today,

Covid is not the flu. You've had over two years to understand this point. It is NOT - repeat - NOT even worth comparing. Stop spreading misinformation.

What is this braindead, misinformed, ignorant & stupid shit? This is why the world thinks Americans are so stupid, and this thread is only perpetuating that. The US is the only place you can get a vaccine in your car for free, no appointment, no wait, while other countries' citizens clamor for...

Welcome to RIU. What farangar said. Definitely look into a 100x jewelers' loupe-- with a light. They're < 20 bucks all day on amazon/ebay and you will never live without one once you own one. You want to see trichs somewhere between cloudy/some amber to mostly amber - a preference you'll...

High! It has been a few years since I've been on here, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself. My name is Token, and I heart chemistry, anything programming, experimenting with fertilizers, and and have been dabbling a lot with coco coir lately. What's all the rage these days, fellow kids...

Another vote for Greenpoint AND they are a respected breeder AND they sell seeds individually, too...huh... Strong!

James Bean...lol.... love the pun. I'll check these cats out. Thanks!

Yeah I think this appears to be a pretty damn solid service. I emailed customer service after noticing there was an SSL error on the cart page and they contacted me and fixed the prob in a few hours. That really made a good impression on me. One thing I really like about the offerings is the...
