I bookmarked a page last year but now I have lost it, it was called something like grow room advice center and it listed virtually all plant health problems from seedlings to harvest. It's was set out in sections, ie: 1 for roots, 1 for leaves etc and it was a green colour page from what I...

i got another 2 bucket system today along with an dimmable 600w digital balast for a seperate grow, also got an EC meter. The EC meter is a "hm ec-3" using the µS scale. am i correct that i should be halving that reading to get PPM? Eg; 1800µS = 900ppm ? or is it the other way i saw where...

cheers for the replies guys, not sure what type of ballast i have, equipment isn't mine and i have never seen one before. Water is so warm as Triple S says, the buckets are black and with the light on 24hrs they absorbed loads of heat which is why i foiled them over but chances are that...
