So, just over 1TSP per gal of water, or per gal of soil? 5G pots, currently. Need to start brewing my next tea tonight.

I just did a light sprinkling of the crystals over the soil and watered it in. It is strong stuff.

3/4 cup in a batch of Super Soil:

Subcool’s Super Soil 2014
  • · 8 large bags of potting soil (1.5 cubic feet) – ProMix
  • · 33 lb worm castings
  • · 2.5 lb fish bone meal
  • · 5 lb high phos bat guano
  • · 5 lb blood meal
  • · 2.5 lb bone meal
  • · 3 cups oyster shell
  • · 3 cups kelp meal
  • · 3 cups alfalfa meal
  • · ¾ cup Epsom salts
  • · 1 cup dolomite lime
  • · 2 cups azomite
  • · 2 tbs powdered humic acid

Cheers,
Mo

All surrounding lights hung. Could probably use another 2, but I'm thinking heavily about doing a DIY COB build to add more saturation. Just need to figure out weights for the mover.

Clone, from a friend's neglected plant that got a little unruly. Got them a few weeks in, wasn't really ideal for what I was trying to do, but they responded well to the LST.

Haven't posted in a while, but I think the POG is about done, going to wait for the first amber to pull her, just to be sure. Tomorrow is the start of week 8. I've got some pictures that I'll post in a couple hours.

Hello, I have a question regarding which to use. I'd like to use kessil for supplemental with my HPS in flower. Im looking for extra support in resin production. I'm thinking magenta h150, but wanted to get some other thought based on experiance. Each plant gets about 2.5' wide and over time I'd like to add one h150 per plant.

I have also thought about going with only kessil, but I am trying to set up a larger grow and considering the plant count we have I need to make the most of what I'm allowed. From other threads I have read, it seems Kessils are great but may not allow me to get my max from each plant. My original idea was to use 1 h380 per plant, but from what I am reading is, you all are using 2-4 or more h380s over a smaller footprint.
With my calculations, if I put 4 plants under a 1000w hps its 250watts/plant at the outlet. If I use 2 h380s per plant, its about 180 watts/plant to the outlet with only 780w coverage. I'm not sure if it's worth the upfront costs. And from my reading only, the yield is not quite that of a hps.
If my brain is correct, I could do 6 plants under 2 600w hps and it would be 166watts/plant. Maybe I'm doing this wrong.

Wondering if I can find a middle ground. Ie 400 watts with 4 h150s magenta over 4 plants?

Thoughts?
