Expect transplant shock, for one. Also, after extensive research it seems the best way to clean the soil from the roots is to GENTLY finger the roots in a cool bath PHd to 5.8. If using net pots I would advise to try guiding roots through the bottom of the net pots, rather than draping them in...
Unfortunately, these boxes only allow for a timer on and timer off. As a drip system, I believe the manufacturer recommends the 5 mins twice a day. The auto drip timer only allows for 2 feedings. Shouldnt this be sufficient when roots are growing down to the solution and are going to try to...
At last check (3:30pm today) my ph was 5.8 and ppm was 550. should I add a gallon of Phd water to the res? I've seen on here that for the size of the plants in veg state I should be in the 300's
Forgive my newb misunderstanding of your last statement, but How do I get the strong nutes out of the medium? And do you mean the newly sprayed B52 solution or the actual nutes in the DWc reservoir? I am only using Hydroton as a medium (Should be no soaking in right?)
I'm using BCNL's Producer Grow box. The box has two Lights over glass. They cannot be moved. I am running both right now. I can however remove one bulb. Will foliar spraying help? If there is lockout due to transplant shock, will the plant absorb the B52 mixture through the stem/leaves where the...
I check the Ph of the water straight from the tap and it registers at 9.2, going to recalibrate my Hanna Ph stick tonight to a two point calibration instead of one, just to be sure it's accurate. As far as an organic nutrient with beneficial bacteria, would VooDoo juice accomlish this?
I have 4 powerful airstones and a pump designed for 4 outlets, however, I am only using two outlets with a T on each line to 2 stones. No rockwool. This was a transplant from soil to hydro. Right now the water level is about 3 inches from the bottom of the pots.
I am planning to recalibrate my Ph stick tonight. Checked water out of the tap and it read 9.2. As for Ec, I am using a Blue Labs Truncheon Stick, no calibration reqd
This is what I believe to be as well. I also am going to reduce the nutes to 1/4 strength. Question though, Should I empty the hydroton, gently reposition the roots through the bottom of the netpots? Or at this point will it do more harm than good?
I thought the same thing, but then I remembered I relocated the cups from the right side of the box to the left to try to provide them with more air flow. Should I move them back to the right side away from the incoming air flow?
Pre-flowers? Does this mean I've gone too long in veg? Also, I thought that by using MH bulbs and 18/6, the plants couldnt flower and are held in an indefinitine veg state
Wife is away for a week? Damn... thats a vaca for me...lol
so two things, you say dont lower the ph so low...is a good target then the 5.8?
and when you say go easy on the nutes... Not sure I completely understand. I'm using a Drip system with a 12.5 gallon res so the nutes are already in...
I apologize to both of you. I read back and can see how i looked like a douche. I promise you, it wasn't meant that way. I appreciate any and all information/help you can provide. I realize now I should have just finished as a soil grow. Guess hindsight really is 20/20. What can I do now? How...
Not sure about the legalities here. May want to read the law on the RI Website. However, If you decide to sell. Send me an email. I'm in RI as well and may be interested.
