when I mix up the bucket it's usually either correct at around 5.8, or I start there. Especially because if I want to add some water early on I'll just use a bit of tap water. As long as the bucket starts out right it doesn't seem to matter much it's very stable.
btw got 89g of some very...
More apologies for thread crap, but it would be remiss of me not to include the crusty and dazzling Blue Nerdz Auto by TerpTreez. Probably more of a blackberry come to think of it.
Invest in a digital LUX meter for $15. Takes all the guesstimates out and gives you an objective take. Seedlings should be under 10,000 lux, young plants 12-15k lux, vegging up to 25-30k lux, and flowering 40- 50k lux.
Here is an orange cookies auto by Tastbudz, this one chunked up pretty well. I lots of broad fan leaves and I experimented by doing some heavy defoliating like almost all the fan leaves and also a late topping at the sixth node. Buds are dense and resiny from top to bottom, it's nugs, all the...
When I think back 30 years with 2000W of Son-T's, that themselves seemed miraculous at the time, it's hard to imagine that it's even worth running HPS even if it was given to me for free. So much heat and so many Watts all in one spot. I'm sure people have their reasons but damned if I can see any.
Taste Budz, Orange Cookies Auto getting on for 11 weeks prolly chop in a few days. Hand watered Eazyplug Pyramid mini. Tight frosty buds all the way down. Late topping at 6th node and heavy defoliation after vegging.
If you grow autos for a while you realise that it doesn't work like that, but most autos will respond without any bad reaction at all to being topped in the right way at the right time, however a plant that has been bent over well, will produce an equivalent result, it's very much horses for...
Hey @Burndoggin glad you like them. I'm not familiar with megacrop but my instinct says that a hydro nute like gh or gp3 would be better. Also the large pyramid is really way easier.
Some are. A rough guide is when 50% are milky, but sometimes quite a few will stay clear even if you leave them longer. There's no really hard and fast rule.
I'm currently running a pair of shallow water culture plants sharing the same 30L res. I start off with some nominal strength like 20ml each of Micro and Grow and 15ml Bloom. After a couple of weeks I'll bring the strength up to around 1500ppm and that stays there till she's starting to flip. if...
