They live in FFoF 50/50 perlite. As for the other plants I just meant it's not worth the effort for the ammount of water they needed. not that it was particularly better.
I think 90% of the damage was actually nute burn.. I wasn't exactly sure how that works when using tap water. I don't have the floramicro for hard water. so is there no chance of tap water being that bad for the plants? would they most likely do better in filtered water with the right supplements?H&D said:
Not if it came from a modern water treatment plant.
With all other factors being equal, you'd be hard pressed to find any difference whatsoever. Why spend up on something that has no obvious benefit?
That was about where I was mixing too, maybe I'll get my boyfriend to buy me a digi for my birthday
Better equipment, better cannabis I take it then? Or is that too general.
I'll lay off then it's just so tempting, they are so pretty, new growth daily change it's almost intoxicating. Growing is actually a lot of fun, maybe I'll get better at it lol
There is a lot of air movement in the grow room, 2 fans and a window fan with intake and exhaust. Highest temp so far this summer was 87F, on the hottest day.
Glad to hear that kelp spray is ok, um my plants in veg are under 24 hours of floro light should I decrease? Most people told me they do better with constant light.
I will keep my eye out for that
3 right now
Cool I will do just that.
Awww I'm the bug girl....
Boyfriend?! Why is it that we boys always end up paying for the pH meters and the boob jobs? JEEZ!
Well, not really... It's more like 'the right equipment will give you the best weed the plant's DNA will allow.' However, a $250,000 mass spectrometer, which can tell you anything about your nutes that can be known, won't give you sooperweed.
Intoxicating!? HAH! Good one.
Do you have a peak memory thermometer? Nice to know for sure how high & low the temps run. How close does the room air temp stay to the ambient air temp?
Yep, I run my mums and clones under 24/7 light, mums under a 400HPS, clones under fluoros. I do a pass of cuttings off the mums every two weeks.The 400 is necessary to make them regrow fast enough to keep up with my cloning needs.
You should be OK with about 15L of tank volume. I know you've just put in a 24L tank, which will be fine for about 5 plants.
Actually, that's what I just said.
My 20+ years experience didn't happen in a vacuum. I researched what published information was available (and still do) and put it in practise. However, thanks to political pressures on scientists who might research these things (DEA stubbornly refuses to allow anyone to grow for research aside from NIDA and also won't allow NIDA to provide cannabis for research into effects on users), there's quite a lot of holes in the available research into growing cannabis. I never guess, but I do from time to time draw reasoned conclusions from other information on growing herbaceous plants which are broadly similar to cannabis. I'm very careful with such leaps, though.
Thanks for that. I doubt there's a grow book in my future, though. In this modern age, you write a book, sell one copy and a million are suddenly in circulation. It's not 1977 anymore, where Ed's column in HT was about as good as you could get.please, don't ever get discouraged. you offer us so much invaluable information. maybe one day, if you fall out of a lazy spell, you might even write a book on your growing experience and offer more of your knowledge to the world. being lazy while creating something great is a wonderful thing.
When I am writing on this topic, I tend to state, support and restate. I don't ever presume my reader to be stupid, but I do try to anticipate likely questions and make clarifications on the fly.
Poor water treatment which allows pathogens like E. coli, cryptosporidium and giardia results in waterborne diseases akin to gastroenteritis, with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting associated. Bit more than a sore throat.
