    Debating on LED or HPS

    So far the closest mark Ive received from leds is 1.3 grams a watt. This was with a 300w led light that used 1w chips with scrog hydro (ebb n gro) setup. They are efficient but I think they are still rather close to hps yields if you match watt per watt (you might get a 10-15% yield increase for...

    Need answers from experienced led growers

    yep for sure you can get at least 2oz. i did a 300w grow with 1w chips and was able to pull off 8 oz doing coco with some bumps in nutrient deficiencies. i did a scrog setup with a white and red spectrum diy panel i built off ebay. actually planning to build a 600w panel in at the start of the...

    superthrive in hydro setup..... YAY OR NAY??

    here's a nice story. I run a ebb and flow table and one day my pump died. my two giant scrogged plants easily were drinking half a gallon each a day and they were dry for 12 hours. parts of them wilted and it looked like they weren't going to make it. i use pea gravel too so there's no...

    First Timer-Jack's Classic 20-20-20 in DWC Hydroponic?

    i don't think jacks will work well in dwc. I've tried a product with the same nitrogen formulation as jacks (plant prod 20-20-20) and growth was soooo slow that i called it quits anxious enough i transferred to coco. jacks has a lot of urea as nitrogen and the nitrogen cycle to break down urea...

    wildest combo ever: iknowads pee pee grow, ebb n flow, no ph adjustments, 300w led

    individual intensities of the whites range from 100-120 lux. red is 90 lux. This is all on paper though... these are Chinese made 1w high powered leds from ebay. not fancy stuff like cree or bridglux. I believe these are sufficient if its set up as a wall of light vs increased intensity over a...

    homemade calcium?

    crushed egg shells are slow release and can only be used in soil. you can make calcium acetate or calcium sulphate by adding either vinegar or sulfur acid to create one of those polar molecules. those can be dissolved and are readily available by plants. i usually add 150ppm of one of those in...

    Stress-zyme and Pond-zyme

    I use stress zyme as well to kick start my organic nutrients in ebb n flow cycles. Its a bacterial product so i wouldn't think its toxic. Fish don't mind it so i don't think its a serious hazard. I believe the nutrients we use are more hazardous as they come as a by product of fossil fuels.

    walmart "plant prod." all purpose 20-20-20

    Its the same formulation as jacks classic 20-20-20 for Canadians :). I have used it in soiless coco and yielded 3/4lb dry in a 8 sq ft area from a 300w led light. It also works with ebb n flow as Im doing it right now with decent results. For bloom i use their 10-52-10 halfed with potassium...

    Miracle Gro nutrients?

    I have used miracle grow in soiless coco in 5 gallon fabric pots for veg to save some cash on my first grow. Yielded about 10 oz from 2 plants scrog in a 2x5 under a 300w led light. Im actually using it in ebb n flow right now. Its working :). I would just say it is a tad bit slower in...

    i'm just curious does a carbon filter really eliminate the smell completely

    Mines works 100% when sealed. Can't smell a thing. growing some white widow right now and shes in potent flower mode. Skunky when the tent is open tho... I guess it can smell if you leave the tent open for too long. I usually just feed. run my diy ozone generator in the room for 10 minutes.

    PH and EC meters

    The build quality is worth it for both bluelab truncheon and ph pen. I cheaped out on my first grow and bought the cheapest ec and ph meters i could fine. Readings were completely wrong and i almost lost my babies do to overfeeding and nute lock from off ph readings. Get yourself a bluelab i...
