Hey budman, do you use a mechanical timer? Seems like that would be the easiest to setup for this light cycle.(GLR) I have a digital. Not sure if I can program more than one "on" and or "off" times with it.

Hey green machine, thanks for weighing in. The City Pickers are actually 20.5x24.5x7.5". They will carry 2 cf of soil if full. But, yeah, I didn't fill them full, and have two different cultivars in each, grown from seed. I wanted variety so I would have choice when it comes time to have a...

The city Pickers have wicks which are just packed medium in 3 of the four corners of the planter. I generally fill the reservoir with around 18 cups of water, and of course, at first, until the roots spread out, doesn't need the full amount each day. I just top it up everyday at lights on at 6...

Yes, I couldn't seem to figure out watering in regular pots, thus one reason I started growing in SIPs. It has helped, although I believed for a time that it had solved all of my watering problems. I believe top watering in the SIP occasionally to assure there aren't dry spots is something I...

I've turned the light down to around 500 ppfd in the center of the tent. Nor sure what the make of my light is. It has a full spectrum, including some uva diodes, not sure on diode count or anything. It works well. As far as gnats go, I've applied beneficial nematodes twice, and have the...

I actually don't know what the soil ph is, but I don't believe that really is an issue. I believe they were left too long without nutrients, as I failed to top up the planters with medium, or dry amendments. Also, my ppfd has been high. I've top dressed on Mar 26, 3 days ago, so am going to...

Hi Delps, thanks for your input. If you are going by vpd, I've been pretty close to spot on. My temps varied between 82-84 and as I said my rh was around 70%. That puts me at 1.0. 82-84 and 70%rh is 0.9 and 1.0 on the chart you have. Not sure what your red arrow is pointing to. If there...

I have had similar problems on previous grows, but haven't learned how not to create these issues. Thank you LewberDewber for weighing in. I've seen pictures of your grows and tbh they look awesome, so I respect your opinion on this. Plus, you grow in the same planters, so there's that. I...

Ok, going forward I will reduce the light some more. No, will just reduce ppfd, and therefore also DLI, to reduce excess light. I want to flip, but want plants in better shape beforehand. They are getting bigger, so I need to flip soon.

I'm running the lights on 18 on, 6 hrs off. Yes, you are probably right about the light burn so I will reduce the light again a bit more. I suppose these leaves that are damaged by the excess light and N deficiency won't recover, but do you think calcium nitrate might give a good N boost to...

If someone could chime in with some knowledge. These plants are in coots mix. Two plants in each SIP. 20% compost, 40% perlite, pumice, and rice hulls. 40% peat moss. Plants transplanted from 1 gal pots to City Picker SIPs on March 2nd. Started noticing deficiency (nitrogen on some, magnesium as...

Maybe it's as simple as all the MAGA republicans have adopted the 3 rules Roy Cohn lived by and mentored TFG with; always attack, never admit wrongdoing, and always claim victory, even if defeated. Its obviously a nutbar way to go about life, but when youre in the cult, you follow the leader...

Yeah, isn't that the sad, dangerous truth. I just can't put my faith in a degenerate like the felon. I'm sure there are those that believe in him, but even when I first started learning about him, I really didn't see any meaningful character or integrity. He's devoid of either. It is...
