No worries. Mind, I still think I get far too much credit around here, I'm not that speshy.

What's a reliable beanery to get Critical+ from?

...I'll be running Kandy Kush X Skunk #1 next round.

I've been getting NLxBB from a grower here on a regular lately, Really like its bud density and taste, been a good toke.

...I went through The Attitude --> http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/dinafem-seeds-critical-/prod_49.html...they gave me the strain as a freebie a couple years ago and it turned out to be better than my purchased beans.....I ordered a few beans of her shortly afterwards and was impressed by the consistency of the genetics, they all appeared identical. ...just several month back I slipped up and put my timer on the wrong settings, my fucking lights stayed on for 2 whole days :o:shock: ....dude, their was not one seed in the Critical+

Hey man i was reading yer post and it actually made alot of sence to me. I just had 2 questions, first i was using the store bought h2o2 which i believe is 3%. I know this is not suggested but if i ajusted for the concentration would it be sufficient? Next is im using Advanced Nutrients 3 part system (grow,micro,bloom) and i just picked up bud candy and big bud also. I followed the chart exactly and my PPM's read 1760. Now i was told 1600 was the max for the plants. Should i add water to get the PPM down? The plants are in there 2nd week flowering.

Most excellent. I had found Attitude's site & was browsing when you posted. Definitely going to have a go with that pheno, looks like a winner for indoor. Cheers for that. :)

I've grown both NL & BB in years past- a cross couldn't be anything but good. Thanks for that. :)

3% H2O2 isn't recommended for a couple of reasons- first, the concentration is WAY too weak to be economical to use. To get the same H2O2 concentration with 3% that you get with 1ml/L of 50%, you'd need to use 17ml/L of 3%. Second, low-strength H2O2 requires the addition of stabiliser chemicals to prevent the H2O2 from breaking down into H2O & O2 in storage. The breakdown components of the stabiliser are not good for plants.

Apparently, 50% H2O2 is hard to come by in North America because 50% grade can be used to make a crude, highly unstable and dangerous explosive called TATP. This is not something I'm going to test, thank you very much..! 35% grade will do. "Food grade" 35% is available from foodservice suppliers as a steriliser for foodservice equipment. Bear in mind that "food grade" does not mean it is suitable to drink, though there are a number of seriously stupid crazies on the internet who suggest people do just that. As such, 35% "food grade" H2O2 can be bought from (disreputable) health food shops who do recommend that you drink the stuff. Not only will it not do what the crazies say it will (which has something to so with 'adding oxygen to the body'), but it's highly dangerous and could very well kill you. Never, EVER drink H2O2. Anyway, back on topic.... 35% H2O2 will do OK in hydroponic nutrient solutions when used at about 1.5ml/L of nute soln, applied every 3-4 days.

As regards your nute strength, I run my flowering system tanks at about 1000-1100ppm. I run my mother plants at about 1400-1500. 1700 is way too hot & will very likely give you a case of nute burn. Remember, plants are not V8 engines- 'more' is not better. There's a bell curve to this- not enough, just right & DEAD. It's much preferable to underfeed than overfeed. Yes, to lower the nute strength, use less nutrient concentrate or add water to the tanks to reduce the concentration.

Good to see you, too.

Can't say how much time I can put in to RIU at the moment, but I can promise you that it won't be much. Busy, busy, busy here.

Welcome back Al! I just got gifted a digital light meter that reads lux from 200 to 200,000. I've got the same cool tube set up as you, only 600 watt sun master bulbs, using a socket extender to center the bulb on the reflector. What average lux should I be shooting for on the canopy? I can lower these down to about 7 inches, but my spread barely reaches the edges of the trays ( 3'x 4' area) here's a pic DSC_0069.jpgDSC_0048.jpg

Hey guys, looking for some input on this little system I just built. I want to try a little hydro in one of my tents to give it a quick try before I jump in with both feet. I plan on using rockwool just like Al. With the setup like it is in the pics the flood falls about 3.5" away from the top of the pots and the water is pushing maximum levels in the "flood table" so I can't flood any higher. In fact I would like to lower it but I'm not sure that is doable. I may have to find a different pseudo table. I'm wondering if this is high enough with rockwool? I'm thinking it should be considering how absorbent it is. Input and criticism welcome, thanks in advance. I would like to add one more air pot when I get the setup going.

Thanks for the response man! you said you keep your mother at 1400, why? I thought mothers were on lower amounts ? but i am a noobs still so just wondering :bigjoint:

Al I've recently made the decision to buy an ebb and flow system and have been taking notes based of your posts, yesterday I seen an older thread you had and you said you run your flower rez at 1400 but I just seen a newer post saying 1000 ppm ? Any reason for the change ?

Sorry guys, I just have not had time to get to your queries. Got a bunch of stuff on this weekend, will try to get stuck in this coming Monday, but no promises.
