    MEGACROP?

    Not a problem for me either. But I do grind it first to incorporate the little balls ;) I mix in one gallon milk containers, run the tap on full hot for a couple of seconds and then close to room temp. Cheers

    MEGACROP?

    Help 8ft by 8ft grow tent how many HPS needed

    I simply Can Not Imagine more than four 600w lights in a 8' x 8' space. This is a par map I got from cocoforcannabis, the red circles represent my plants. I have to be diligent in training each plant to not occupy more than a 24" x 24" space.... Something else to consider. IF you plan on...

    Help 8ft by 8ft grow tent how many HPS needed

    BTW > many moons ago I ran one 1000w MH in a 10' x 10' x 8' high room, I could fill it with four plants. Worked quite well and heat was manageable ! Cheers

    I did one grow with the 600w with wings, upgraded to a 42" parabolic reflector. Much better :weed: 1000 watters would take some serious cooling.... Slightly more than 4' x 4' x 4' high walls enclosure, day 25 of 78. Cheers

    questions about long term storage

    If using vacuum you do not need a "oxygen absorber". And don't run to full vacuum, you will end up with a brick ! Either shut the machine off early or put the buds inside a freezer bag and evacuate as much air as possible. Then put that inside a vacuum bag. The remaining air in the first bag...

    Bio bizz in sunshine mix 4

    Yes, you have been overfeeding. The plant is only using a portion of the feed at each watering and you are adding more. Over time an excess of one element causes a lock out in another. I stopped using ferts that allow you to change the ratio's, I could get close but not close enough :wall...

    Bio bizz in sunshine mix 4

    As I understand it, Bio Buzz is an organic fertilizer that you are using in a mostly inert ph buffered soilless medium. I use Mega Crop one part (9-6-17) which is also derived from organic materials and ppm's is a useful measurement. A ppm reading would at least tell you if you are under or...
