    Timer malfunction during flowering : lights going off for 30 mins

    Cheers bud. I cant even guage how they should be to how they are currently. I made some seeds on my last run and its first time trying them, so this is is going to be a bit of a shitty test run on them. Ive kept a mom of this cut, so if it turns out fairly decent ill run it again. They look nice...

    Timer malfunction during flowering : lights going off for 30 mins

    Hey folks, Ive only just discovered this. My timer has a few stuck contacts i think. I have lights on from 8pm to 8am, and im currently 4 weeks into flower. Last night I found out my bloody timer is switching off for 30 mins at 3am then switching back on. Only reason I found out was because I...

    When to start 1st day of flower count

    Well I went and checked on the girls that I thought were late bloomers, and I almost shit myself. Found out that a part of the segment switches wasn't operating properly so they were getting 14 on and 10 off ! No fucking wonder they were creeping into bloom. I've switched out that timer and put...

    High Brix Hydroponics

    Haha no problem, although I can understand where youre comming from, clay in a soil mix would be a nice ammendment depending on the source. Ive not heard of hydro Buddy nor use any calculators in my ammendments, I just try to judge by what I add and when and gauge the PPM's before/after a feed...

    When to start 1st day of flower count

    Totally agree, I forgot to mention I use 660nm red at lights out to " try " and circumvent this. the 660nm puts the girls to sleep rapid instead of the 1-2 hours it would with a conventional switch from lights on to lights off, allows you to run a 13 on / 11 off, but only 1 of my tents has this...

I use an 8 pot flood & drain system that is roughly 70% clay pebbles / 30% rockwool croutons with a 180 litres res, and have an 8 pot Wilma drip fed system that uses 80% rockwool croutons and 20% clay pebbles that i use the same nutrients in. I dissolve the AA in a jug of water...

    Silica in hydro

    There are 2 types of silica, the most common is potassium silicate K20 - Si which is a highly alkaline solution which is a good PH up, and there is silicic acid which is a very weak alkaline which is refered to most commonly as bio silica which has very little effect on PH but if im not mistaken...

    Best way to transition plants from a 2000W LED, 400W true, veg room too a 1000W HPS without shock?

    Ive experienced shock when going from 630w of CMH to1980w of Quantum Boards ( not even close to ran at full power ), i beleive it was due to the change in light as I didnt need to disturb the medium as they were in the final pots at the time of tansfer, ive been trying to find the info that i...

    High Brix Hydroponics

    L-Amino Acids mate. I use the Aminos by RAW NPK that help to keep Ca in solution and can even reduce/eliminate calcium deposits and reintroduce them into solution, they also enbale the roots to take up Ca at an increased rate. But I use Clay/Rockwool Hydro so it works for me, so im not sure how...

    When to start 1st day of flower count

    Ive read tons of posts asking the same question. Myself I tend to let the plant decide when day 1 of flower starts. If you havnt let the plant reach maturity and you flip, you will see an extended period of veg like growth until she starts chucking pistils, as I grow from clones, even they show...

    HPS to LED in mid flower: good idea or not?

    Cheers bud. Ye I run them on 6 x HLG320H C1400b drivers on dimmers, and I didnt run them on that run anywhere near to max wattage, and it still stalled them. Just started a run with 10 x Inhouse Genetics Platinum Kush breath on them through veg and 2 weeks into flower on them, and Ive cranked...
