I use an ozone gen between grows in my shed and I haven't gotten bugs since I started doing it. Before I've had spider mites, thrips and spiders. No no bugs also no smell. Seems to help with the life of the carbon filter to
Aye you must be using it correctly then i can imagine it has its time and place set up right its just if it is used wrong it can be dangerous hence why i said man

Oh it's nasty stuff. I turn the timer on for 120mins then close and lock the door. Come back the next day. Won't use it in the house if I was going to in the house for the next 24hrs

So im using shogun nutrients and this is what im mixing in bin is this ok or coukd i be adding more of cal mag and silicone
Love shogun, Dr cali and the whole team are great and the nutes are cheap, 100% synthetic and made in the uk, they also work very well...

I suggest using the feed calculator and checking the parameters at the bottom of the chart it will give you.....

Always have happy girls, even the finicky ones love it!

Hey do you not think this strength ec would be to high at this stage

Standard feed and light feed, am not far off the light feed amount just dont add double silicone?

I worry there ec is way higher then what my plants usually have the small tip burn at like 1.4-1.6

Hi lads anyone used evoponic nutes? More so elixir steriods and Goliath ? Cheers
Looking good !

Just got myself one of these to replace two quantum boards on one half of my 8x4 flower tent.

Intrested to see your results, got my eye on the lumatek zeus 2.9

I'm still using lumatek 600w 400v ballasts with sunmaster 7k mh and gavita bulbs for flower.

However after speaking with Migro yesterday maxibright have a 600w cmh 3k aggro bulb that runs on old mag ballasts which his tests show are superior, expecially in terms of offering a much broader spectrum and efficacy. 1.9 micromoles which is comparable with some LEDs

The bulbs are £110 and mag ballasts are cheap as chips.

Maxibright claim the bulbs will work with digital ballasts too but Migro found they only work with some.

I have ordered a couple to test out, have had great results with 315w cmh in the past but was costly and lacked power!

I hear you, no that's not to high at all, I use 1.2 ec in my aerocloner soon as roots pop under a t5 with no issues.

The key to choosing light or standard feed is here...

The grow room environment strongly influences the water and nutrient uptake of your plants. Please select your feeding type from the information provided below.

1. Light feeding for grow rooms where the leaf temperature is consistently above 25°C and the relative humidity is below 50%.

2. Standard feeding for grow rooms where the leaf temperature is consistently below 25°C and the relative humidity is above 50%.

3. Heavy feeding for grow rooms with LEDs and/or for closed-looped grow rooms utilising 'active cooling' with the injection of CO2.

Don't forget to speak to shogun directly all of then are on insta if you use that and respond very quickly!

Yes Mine would be the light feeding i am pretty close to that except im on half the amount of silicone and we bit less a&b....

Il got with the calculator amounts next but i mix up see how the go

Aye, I'll keep you posted.

Be interested to see how them 600 cmh work out too. I never knew they existed.

Think the issue with some of the cheap digital ballasts is they don't run as hard as they say.

I had a 400 I was using for veg and it was only drawing 360w , which fired up a hps bulb buy not a MH.

I tell you what, there's a massive weight difference in the ballast when you compare the likes of maxibright, omega , lumii to the quality of lumatek ballasts.

Also maxibright and lumii are now making LED fixtures which seemingly run off the digital ballast HID ballasts too. Which is a bit weird.

Dosi dos ..... when I cropped it last time I got the bud to be completely purple I know it was colder in October November time but I thought as the bud was purple it was genetics this time around in July it's struggling to turn purple on the leaves .... environment plays a key part in the appearance of your bud more than some
People could actually think the day time temps are roughly the same as I was using an oil radiator thru the days and lowering it at nights to get a drop but it must be staying a lot warmer in the nights now
