    What levels should I maintain for my hydroponic nutrient, temperature, pH and TDS/EC?

    I know this is an old thread but does anyone know what PPM scale Old Grower would be using? I use EC and find all of the different ppm scales just confuse things. 1200 ppm on the Hannah scale is 2.4 EC which seems very high even in full bloom.

    Purple Caper Seeds

    Hello lads Purple Caper seeds are now available in the UK, has anyone tried them? Been on their website and there isn't much information or any specific growing advice. Plenty information about the male plants they use. I think they also have a connection with a company called Dark Heart...

    LEDs and seedlings

    I love the Viparspectra for seedlings and veg they have so much blue that they keep seedlings real squat. Wouldn't fancy flowering with them. One thing I have found is the plants don't like it for a few days if you switch them over to HPS, must be the different spectrum. I use the Vipar...

    CMH in medium Adjusta-Wing-Avenger vs HPS vs Mars 2000 Quantum LED

    Thanks Green Lizard, I think that may be the plan. I will be running them in Adjusta-Wing-Avenger hoods with adapters, can you foresee any problems with that? Probably have them on the narrowest setting as most of the CMH hoods look as if they condense the light rather than spread it. Thanks...

    CMH in medium Adjusta-Wing-Avenger vs HPS vs Mars 2000 Quantum LED

    Thanks Tortured I have my heart set in getting rid of the HPS to tell the truth to try and save some leccy and increase spectrum. What do you think of this combo. I could maybe save 315 watts if I skimped a bit. Would this work (See Below). The CMH cover 3ft x 3ft but the Mars only cover 2ft x...

    N420 Grows Barney's Farm Orange Sherbert & Special Guests

    I am a big fan of Barneys. I grew their Blue Gelato which was very stable and a very heavy yielder, nice smoke but I prefer OS as a smoke it is just different. I am currently growing their Purple Punch. The only disappointment I have had with Barneys was their Pink Kush but it was a poor grow...

    N420 Grows Barney's Farm Orange Sherbert & Special Guests

    I was in the same position as you 2 weeks ago, 7 weeks in. I opted to obviously remove any affected colas and chop some of the larger unaffected colas @7 week. Thereafter I just inspected every cola every day./ I did get 3 more colas affected, 2 weeks on and I am just about to finish...

    UK farmers: Just had The Knock, what to do?

    Depends how many plants you have mate. 4 or under I would just take a chance but defiantly answer the door next time they knock and be polite.

    CMH in medium Adjusta-Wing-Avenger vs HPS vs Mars 2000 Quantum LED

    I currently flower under 4 x 600 HPS in Adjusta - Wing hoods supplemented with a single 315 CMH in the middle. During the summer my temps were sky high as was my electricity bill, so thinking of a change. My grow area is 6ft x 9ft with 1 ft extra space on all sides so my current light set up is...

    PPm/EC for Mini Rockwool Croutons, GH 321 recipe, Capn Style

    Thanks Barney, I was wondering about this holding tank. I have a plentiful supply of air stones and powerful air pumps left over from the RDWC so was thinking an air stone or two in the holding tank rather than buying a pump to move the nutrients around. I was also wondering what strength...

    PPm/EC for Mini Rockwool Croutons, GH 321 recipe, Capn Style

    Many thanks for your reply Barney. The capn was a very well respected member who used to post on here a few years ago and had his own style of growing. Unfortunately I can't find any of his posts. My situation is, I have been growing RDWC and need to switch as I don't like it so converted my...
