    What is my PH?!?! Different results. Ebb and flow

    Problend seemed more reasonable and plus it has a bloom formula. House and Garden doesn't and their nutrients are so fucking expensive. I was like .. ok I have $60 to spend.. Should I buy Drip Clean for $55+tax (and still need a lot more additives also at $50+) or go with the Pro Blend which all...

    What is my PH?!?! Different results. Ebb and flow

    Yea this meter flucates every few days. Even after a few weeks tho it was reading like .17 higher than what the actual PH was. I usually test with the PH 7 liquid and just move the dial until its perfect. I only have 2 plants in hydro setup. They are experiencing light yellow spotting on lower...

    What is my PH?!?! Different results. Ebb and flow

    I believe this might help in finding out whats going on. Once I tried to get the PH in the top part when the water was filled with hydrotone.. but it was always reading way low like 4.0 (Do you think the meter could be different if something is in close range? Such as a cup verses in a big...

    What is my PH?!?! Different results. Ebb and flow

    When I check the reservoir it says 5.8 (and has been in that range for the past few days). But if I take some water out in any type of container (clean of course). My PH reads 6.3 I have an airstone but no bubbles are near the area where the PH is being taken. I have a PH checker from Hanna...

    Help in purchasing a T5... Hydrofarm Commerical or Designer design?

    This is for a 2 foot 8 bulb fixture. The commercial design is $160... designer is $200. Do you think there is much of a difference in the efficiency of these two lights? It seems in the commerical design the lights are not as reflected as in the designer design. Give me your opinion quick...

    250 Watt Light vented into bedroom. Regular room temps/ AC set at 70. Will this work?

    And yea I like it hot lol.. 80 is cool for me. Temps are usually around 110 at the moment. We had a 'cooler' front come in, 95 degrees. Felt to me like it was 75 outside :). What I was saying is I'd like to keep my room atleast 80 with the light being vented into my room. In fact its around...

    250 Watt Light vented into bedroom. Regular room temps/ AC set at 70. Will this work?

    Your right about that AC temp. At night sometimes my plants get to around 55. Its set to 70 but thankfully I am on the third floor and the AC runs constantly. As soon as we are not using the AC (which will stay at 70) I will be cracking a window. It will be winter so 30-70 degrees here.

    House and Garden Aqua Flakes... can't keep PH down!

    For the life of myself I cannot keep the PH down in my ebb and flow system. I am just using Aqua Flakes A and B with half tap water/half distilled (Told regular tap water was at 300PPM in my area- and the House and Garden guy said to use this product with tap water at around 150 PPM). I...

    250 Watt Light vented into bedroom. Regular room temps/ AC set at 70. Will this work?

    Hi. I've had a lot of trouble lately moving to my new place. After trying so many different things and wasting so much money on just experience, I think I've found about the only solution I can do for a worthwhile grow. Keep this in mind. I do not wish to vent outside of my place. I want...

    White Widow small plant. Was healthy, 2 days ago started developing brown on leaves

    Hey guys. This White Widow seed was started a few weeks ago. I popped it and placed it into a peat pellet (I don't think I'll use these anymore, I've had much better results with straight rockwool). I didn't have any room in my hydro system so I thought I would just make a mother out of this...

    300 PPM water.

    I'm sitting here laughing at myself. I am just not the person who can sit down and read tons of shit and collect information by books. I mean to some degree yea, but I am a total hands on experience learner. With that being said, I started hydro about 7 weeks ago from scratch. I thought it...

    300 PPM water.

    So my water is at 300 PPM. With this level would I be able to just add my nutrients as usual and change out the resevoir every week and not worry about checking it?
