Sup y'all?! So I have a question: I'm currently running 2x 400w Optic Led Optic 4 lights in a 5x5 grow tent with 6 plants. Currently in day 28/70 flower cycle Ive sealed up my room and am running co2 and my plants seem to be doing absolutely great but I'm thinking I could definitely...

Just curious, can anyone explain why adding nutrients lowers the ph? Feel free to talk nerdy to me ;) I love the technical details (ions exchange, etc.)

Little update: Ph tester came in yesterday. Tested the RO water and was 9.0 Adjusted 2 gallons down to 6.0 Tested the run off after adding the 2 gallons to get an idea of what the soil ph was at and it read 6.2. I think this is okay for soiless veganic growing. Added 1/2 nutes solution to...

Kind of have an idea. I was basically gonna water them till water is flowing out of the bottom of the bottoms. Usually give them each about a gallon and it barely leaks out the bottom so maybe give each plant 2 gallons. I will do it on my next watering be sure I'm using ph adjusted water...

For reference I am on day 16/70 flower cycle. If this effects the benefits/detriments of flushing

So I was talking to my close friend who I confide in often wth my grow as he is a well experience grower as well as he works in the commercial grow industry... He mentioned the idea to do a flush. He was talking about how with veganics you can have salts build up around the roots that can...

Thanks Chris! I'll put an order in for one of those pens. I think I'll try feeding the Ghost of Leroy separate from the rest with a higher cal/mag dose. Can I expect the rusting of these leaves to reverse and go back to green? Or is the damage already done and now it's just about...

Sorry let me clarify further, The 40ml I fed last week and 75ml I fed this morning were directly of the cal/mag nutrient solution from VegaMatrix. I actually haven't checked the ph of my water (I'm using reverse osmosis water) as I assumed with veganics and soiless growing ph was not a major...

Wow appreciate the quick response. I was going off my nurtrient companies feeding chart: 40ml for 5 gallons divided amongst 6 plants. So each plant was getting roughly 7ml I just bumped it up to 75ml for 5 gallons with this weeks first feeding. The companies recommends 50-100ml for this weeks...

Hey ya'll this is my first grow and im experiencing my first sign of a potential problem. Please see the photo below: I just starting seeing this on the upper leaves of one of my 6 plants. Its not on the top-most leaves but rather on the mature leaves below the top most growth. This is on...

Was this directed to me ? If so I don't know where this is coming from haha

I have 2 optic 4's blowing up a 5x5 tent and am loving them so far. With that said, just came across this website which appears to be selling the exact Optic 4 & Optic 6 under a different brand and significantly cheaper ?? SunPlusLED | United States I emailed Weston at Optic LED on this just...
