So I'm currently growing six plants in a 2 x 4 I went ahead and got the Mars ts600 and I'm trying the lenoFocus 672 pc QUANTUM BOARD all the same Spectrum apparently they are actually competing quite well in this tent but what I want to know today is about my soil I use Myco Plus and it's actually doing really well but I've always grown Coco coir so what kind of things do I need to know about this fox farm ocean Forest when it comes flowering time I know I think I need to amend the soil or am I okay to use my king kola bottle nutrients??? I'm just a gardener trying to hone in skills I finally dialed in my tent so it wouldn't be so hot and got the are perfectly ventilating out I'm supplementing CO2 but I know that the ventilation makes it somewhat redundant but I feel like any additional CO2 is going to be helpful has anybody use these exhale bag it seems like it's completely airtight does that little mesh pocket release CO2??? This damn LENOFocus 672 piece SMD LED Quantum board went from $76 to $98 on Amazon ... But I need recommendations for week 5 when I switch to flower... I have also been using this myco+ ....if anybody has experience with it please let me know because I love the stuff but I need to know if it's truly beneficial for my soil?

now I have also been using a little bit of this humic acid from the fossil fuel bottle I read would be beneficial.... I have 3 successful grows under my belt ( not with current equipment I have been steadily upgrading more and more) but they were all Coco coir and powder nutrients I want to go all organic this time and get that complex taste and smell that I'm looking for terpene profile that I cant achieve yet.... but after the three successful grow I've never used a foliar spray so maybe this floralicious plus all use as a foliar spray I need to know how much and how often you guys spray your leaves if ever....

ok first I have a question. I am not a LED user but I am interested in them. Why the two different fixtures? Why not the same fixture with two different spectrums?
You can do almost anything with fox farm soil. Depending, I mix OF with Roots organic, I have mixed OF with promix. But with OF by itself. I would add calmag to my water, when watering. and this is every other watering. I would do this for about two or three weeks and begin feeding the plant after that time period. Then you can feed any nutrient you want
The CO2 Bags, Hang them high so the CO2 can drop down on your plants. They are a great supplement. The bag expels co2 constantly (day and night) and slowly. Yes CO2 does come out of the little mesh pocket. They last for about six months. but do not place them on top of your lamps. heat shortens the life span. Also do not expect one bag to get you to a 1000ppms, maybe a steady 5 or 600.
Growing Organic Is A Art Forum. Bubble some teas and bacteria. learn what different ingredients do for the plant. harvest the plant at the right time and cure

Well I wanted to try Quantum boards and I found the LenoFocus pretty cheap and then when I could afford another one I went back in the Mars Hydro which I heard was a lot better was $20 cheaper now so I just got it but the specs are the exact same on both lights

And with the exhale bag the CO2 will it drop through the moving air because I've read that I'm supposed to stick it by my intake Port so the incoming air gets mixed in CO2 gets mixed into the incoming air as it moves through the tent because I'm venting the tent

I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS . I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.

:peace:

You can do that as well with the bags. But remember that co2 is a heavier gas than air so it will fall to the floor regardless. . Humics I would use as the label recommends. But I like to give all of my plants a good feeding every week. So this would include almost everything at half strength. But I also cook my soil. So I use very few if any liquid nutrients. If I was you, I would use ancient forest. Which is a humus and you will the benefit of the extra bacteria. It will probably last longer

That link seems to be broken now after 5 years of passing it out. It has gone down before then come back up so could try later.

If anyone has a page it could be hosted on I downloaded everything from that link and could upload it somewhere else.
