My tap water ranges from 130-180 PPM.
Not sure why the variance though.

I just wondered if my tap water caused the problems, since my diy areo cloner got slimy after only a week

 

[DCobeen]

okay slimy means bacteria starting add some peroxide what kind do you have around? it will kill the bacteria trying to grow but wont hurt the plants. i have an air system for my cloner but havent used it yet. ill add peroxide to the mix when i do. do you have air stone in it?
peace and love

You 'can' use the h2o2 with the zone. I wrote dutch masters and asked them about it. They said it kinda defeats the purpose to add both, but I don't remember the details.

I shouldn't matter with tap vs RO I don't think. I think it has more to do with temps. It's tough to keep water below 70 or so.

Grandma left, having a good time on my own for a bit before wife gets here. Me and mom had good talks about all sorts of stuff, including mj growing and babies. It's a very tough thing for me, wondering if it's best for baby that dad spends so much time taking care of his pot plants. It's not easy though because I do feel as though it's a very positive to show her, how daddy cares for living things and can grow nice plants, take a hobby seriously, doing what makes me happy. Really I don't know why I think it's negative at all, but it's still there. :/

Anyways, peace

You will continue to struggle with it. But to thine own self be true. If you are your kids will be. I do what I do but do not let it intrude into the infrastructure of the house so it is a little bit different in my situation.

.... Here is what I know... I would/am NOT happy when I am not able to grow. Me being happy = a better environment for my family. I get very little me time. growing is for me.

Glad your girls are back and well man! AK looks done and comes down tonight.

Bass check ur water first see what the ph meter reads gh have food for hard water.next,ur rez should not smell at all.i clean my rez every other week.yeap i pull out the rez table and everything give her a good cleaning put everything back in.one thing u can do is if ur girls are in pots or grow bags u can make a 3-5 gal bucket of food and water by hand every 3-4 days.and ur rez will be full of fresh water ph at 5.3-6.0.this will save $ on food plus no worries about the rez.
Jigs i got an idea! We should all grow some good stuff and sell it to other companies.they trying to make it legalized in my state now.if they do i want to grow legit.i got the names of my breeds so here we go,,jigs buds.basman timewrap.dr.d mind twister.cowboys kush and my favorite. ...JoJo Dancers kush.

 

[jojodancer10]

@ someguy im the same way brother.i am not happy when im not growing.ill be damn if i go to the weed man and buy that horse shit from him.oh yeah ur breed will be called someguy flying high.or..sfg.
My kids know when im happy cause im able to spend more time at home not working 3-4 jobs.this lil hobby is a hobby that pays.pay us for what we know! Not what we have.big companies do it all the time.

 

[SomeGuy]

I never really make anything back from my work but I do save a ton from going to the dispensaries. Plus! I find growing to help me find that calm within. I mean... pot does that too.. but growing that pot makes it all that much sweeter.

However, I also dont burn in front of my kids etc.. But I am high around them alot. I agree though. It should just be legal, would create a shit-ton of legit jobs. I would still be doing my "home brew" though.. LOL

I like SFG og. Some-Flying-Guy og.... LOL! You crack me up dude. Hows your girl situation going? Still on the hook?

 

[bassman999]

My res (since its winter) doesnt get past 66*F.
I really cant figure why I am having issues???
I have stones and Zone and the roots smell like sliced potatoes still at least toward the wool since I cant pull em all out for fear of tearing them out.

I asked my daughter, and she said res smells like gasoline lol.

Oh and some guy.
I am high around the kids all the time, but dont let em see me smoke either.

 

[bassman999]

Oh and as far as checking ph I keep it orange to yellow...5-6 ph (hopefully)

I am referring to the GH ph drops

 

[Dr.D81]

Stuff is too $$$ to make money lol, but I dont have to smoke other ppl crappy weed and thats good enough for me.
So I just grow for independence.
I want the wall mount one, but dont want another investment to constantly maintain.

Eventually if this hydro thing works out Ill invest in one.

that is right we dont have to smoke crappy weed it fells good to just let it pass you by. down side you always have what everyone wants to smoke

i have 2 old school ph testers i can send free too. they work just take 5 min and needs soil to be accurate. message me and ill see about sending to you. i have the 009A1 on the way to me and the unit i have is digital but not fast but is accurate if you take the time to let it read. live and learn all.

I have just spent the last hour researching which combo of these led's would be best to fit a 8x5 area. I'm convinced this is the key to my solar shed and want to purchase the lights as soon as I get my student loan refund. I'm thinking I can cover the same area for half the wattage which is extremely important for my goal. I'm thinking 2 of the 232's and 2 of the 151 should work and was wanting opinions. Something tells me from what I seen on their site this just might be a good place for answers. I all ready know this will save me $40 a month alone in electric in my flower room from my calculations, But more importantly reduce the wattage I need to produce. This will save me and make my dream possible, in fact, very. Sorry to jack your thread jig.

You are talking under 800 watts and 40ft2, I know nothing about LED lights, but are you sure thats enough?

 

[Dr.D81]

you want about the same watts per sqft as any with light source

 

[jimmer6577]

From the what I seen on their foot print in the description the 151 sq covers 3x3 and jigs 4x1.5 the 232 covers 4x2.5, but the would make since, if they are suppose to be cheaper to run. I thought what you did thats why I came here to ask.

 

[DCobeen]

i think 4 marsII 1200 watts will work they can make you 11 band that incleds uvb and ir. they will use the led you want so it could be 8 band with ir and uvb. if i had the money i would order th e mars II custom order and rock on. just my opinion and considering i have spent so many hrs researching lgsolutions is a good way to go.
