    Lockout in Living Soil?

    That mix could have great potential. I wouldn't worry about aeration problems - how much soil are you using? Fish bone meal has high levels of phosphorus if i'm not mistaken. Like the bat guano I used, if it's over applied it may lockout other nutrients. It can bind to calcium and make calcium...

    Lockout in Living Soil?

    Interesting, recharge seems to raise my soil pH too. What might be in your soil to make it so acidic? 5.2 pH for a living soil seems like something is releasing acid - sulfur, peat, guanos. Do you have compost in it? Any chance for anaerobic conditions in the compost or soil?

    Lockout in Living Soil?

    How are you measuring your soil pH? I bought a hanna soil pH tester pen when I was having trouble. It's expensive, but it's been useful. My soil had a tendency to go alkaline, and I had to work to lower the pH by using citric acid. This helped my situation, but it didn't correct it. I ended up...

    Lockout in Living Soil?

    Hey thank you for your post! I finished this grow a few months ago, and I'm about to finish the next grow using the same clones. It turns out it was most likely a phosphorus issue that was made even worse from using my town's tap water to mix the soil. I spent weeks scouting for mites and never...

    Tips of leaves browning, white eggs on top?

    Do you see anything moving? I'd like to see a picture of the whole leave to have more of a reference of its size. There are mites called cyclamen mites that lay clear elliptical eggs. Sere an article here about them. I'm not sure of their ubiquity across landscapes, and they don't seem to find...

    Lockout in Living Soil?

    Hey all, I have a MAC cut from a clone shop in Detroit that's struggling. It's in a 3x3 tent with two other plants. The other two aren't struggling as much - I have a lemon OG kush (dna genetics) that is stunted with a minor zinc and mg deficiency, and I have a purple punch plant (Detroit clone)...

    Best spacing for 3 Hlg QB 96 Elites v2 on DIY Frame for 4x4 grow tent

    Thanks for your help brother! It's so nice to find a welcoming community of LED enthusiasts. I have so much to learn yet, and I appreciate the tip on the heat trouble with the driver's. I'm using a 3x3 now and I'm not sure if I'll go with the qb96s yet. Have you tried any other quality LEDs? I...

    Best spacing for 3 Hlg QB 96 Elites v2 on DIY Frame for 4x4 grow tent

    Thank you for your guidance BigSco! I think you're absolutely correct. Once I started posting in forums I realized my understanding was off somehow. My ppfd calculations were too optimistic. As you're mentioning I don't think I was considering height levels well...the inverse square law might...

    Best spacing for 3 Hlg QB 96 Elites v2 on DIY Frame for 4x4 grow tent

    Thanks for your reply BigSco! I understand that these lights can be run as low as 25w (max without heatsink according to HLG website). My idea with low wattage with these boards is to provide near 320w of LED in my 3x3 space. At max power on a 320H-54B they should pull a minimum of 2 amps at 53V...

    QB96 v2's in a 3x3

    Did you get these these lights setup okay? I was going to buy a 320H-54B for three qb96s in a 3x3. How do you like the 600H-54B?

    How are you wiring your three qb96 elites? I'm thinking about using a meanwell 320H-54B for three of them in a 3x3 ran in parallel. Did you choose a constant current or voltage driver?
