The fuel-cell powered Honda is NOT the 'hydrogen conversion' I was criticising. This is what I was talking about: [URL="http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4271579.html"] And LEDs are still only useful on your xmas tree than over your cannabis plants.

'back talk' is a comment coming from someone who thinks they're always right and in control. You're neither, Jordan. Hope your mould and bacteria likes the sugar feed. Your plants won't.

If you can get it past the roots and use the right kind of sugar. You keep missing/ignoring the same points, why is that?

no worries :)

yeah, you need the pHDown to adjust your solution pH but you need the 4 & 7 calibration solutions to check the meter. You probably won't usually need the pHUp unless you put too much pHDown in the solution. It's smart to have a reference solution for TDS meters so you know if they are right or...

oh yeah, if the people at the shop didn't tell you, they should have had you soak the probe in plain water overnight before use. Between that and keeping your probe damp with a small piece of sponge in the meter cap, that should solve the wandering readings. The sponge bit will get mouldy if...

cool, if you can't find a manual online for your meter, sing out and maybe I can help.

Insufficient light will cause thin, spindly growth in veg. LEDs do not provide enough light to veg OR flower cannabis.

You didn't get nasty, you got science.

The electrode has to be kept damp. Put a bit of damp sponge in the meter cap. Ought to fix it. You probably will need pH reference solutions, 4.0 & 7.0 for most meters. The meter should be calibrated before each use. No manual with the meter? Searched google for the user manual for that...

Too bad LEDs are useless for growing cannabis. CFLs do better but not much.

Transpiration all but stops and photosynthesis DOES stop in the dark. About all the plant does in a 12 hour dark period is make flowering hormone. One more time- how are you planning to get the sugar past the roots- are you sure it will cross the root barrier- and will you be supplying C6H12O6...

Jorge would have been referring to the use of sugars as a soil conditioner. Sugars can feed some microbes which do advance the breakdown of complex organic fertilisers i.e. manure, greenwaste, etc. This WOULD increase the availability of nitrogen to the plant- if you're using compost or other...

no wuckas. :) Probably a good time to note that while plants are largely made of cellulose, which is composed of simple sugars which are assembled by the plant from elemental components like N, H2O & CO2 in photosynthesis (the primary reaction is 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O or 6 water +...

I've used it in the past. Stopped using it after the (stupidly expensive) bottle ran out, made no difference, never bought any more. Won't hurt anything, though.
