quite well! they won't flower under this regime. i use it by switching back and forth between two rooms. i have also vegged using 8-4-8-4 for the 24-hour period. this has produced the fastest veg rate for me. the 8-hour intense period followed by 4 rest hours allows the plant to fully process...

i think the PPK hydroponic system is the absolute greatest growing device on the planet! set it and forget it! like Ron Popeil's rotisserie roaster! weeks away no problem! total solution stability. no leaks if built right.

that was my 3500 sq ft room in oregon. ended in 2018. 49 lights all scrogged just like this. i'll show a couple of pics of the 10k sq ft room in Nashville i built and ran 3 years. purple mesa cbd, the flower room had 480 plants.

here's some scrogs i have done. please notice there is only one stem under each.

hello, i have run 1500 umols at the tops with no co2 with no visible displays. it won't hurt the plant. but, i have found that for high quality with yield, and considering electrical efficiency, your target ppfd should be computed for 40-50 moles per diurnal cycle. 1150 umols ppfd for 12 hours...

well, hello, everybody! all screw-in leds. the first 2 pics are of 18 watt Cree diode 6500k's in a 10 sq ft hemp facility. the plant is purple mesa cbd and tested at 18%. the rest are my 2 personal experimental lights. i have a bunch of flower pics if anyone is interested.

hi, burr! i've been using the jack's hydroponic special 5-12-26 with calcium nitrate for about a year and a half. the jack's part is everything but the calcium nitrate and both must be used together. it can be mixed by several different methods but the easiest is to mix by meter. the ratio...

hi, uncle ben! jerry garcia is right about the terms being interchangable, most container growing professionals and soil scientists know this. but the graphic is out of place in this discussion because it depicts the open soil column. we are not talking about the open soil column, we are talking...

hi, afka! "Perched water table is only relevant to excessively capillary media," such as coco, perlite, rockwool, peat, pine bark, turface, de, small lava rock, sand, gravel, rice hulls or hydroton. using any of these media the pwt will be relevant. i suppose there are some media choices where...

actually, i've read about everything i could find written by him, i may have missed something. no, it's the term "real guru" that confuses me. do you mean as opposed to an "unreal" guru or perhaps a "fake" guru. gosh, it just occurred to me that, no, that couldn't be true, scratch that! really...

at last! four months! hi, uncle ben! could you please explain what you mean by "a real guru". and this sentence, " He does clarify that the wicking thingie when a pot is full of roots top to bottom." i'm a little confused by your terminology. al tapla is one of my references in my thread but...

thank you! can't wait to get a yield and smoke report from you. i still have about 5 weeks to go with mine.

hey, gettogro! great engineering and mechanical work. i wish my shit looked that clean. looks like the g13 is coming along nicely. i got a 3 pack from the dr and am a few weeks behind you. a beautiful plant. i just popped one bean and flowered it after taking multiple cuts. how many expressions...

here are a few. my first time uploading pics here. i got them out of order but from left to right: 1,2,3. pics of harvested bud. 4,6,7. the plant in question 5. a different plant in veg showing the stacked 3.5 gal buckets. bottom is a reservoir and top is the grow container. the 2 bud shots...

these links are about media and container mechanics. the term "saturated layer" means the same as "perched water table". http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1251.html http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/n...g-physical.pdf "slowness is thoroughness" __________________ Passive Plant Killer...
