    I need a timer, any recommended?

    Stay away from Kasa. They aren’t reliable.

    Light burn?

    Thanks for the thought. The calmag has worried me a little since it antagonizes potassium. I actually did that my last grow since micro has some nitrogen. I started reducing the green stuff eventually hitting zero but grow does have a lot of potassium so you lose some of that with it.

    Light burn?

    so it’s ebb and flow using half and half ro and tap water with hydroton. Our tap water is pretty hard so the half and half reduces the base tds to something manageable like 110 tds. I’ve been typically adding 1ml calmag per res top up which has been about a gallon a day lately. I changed out the...

    Light burn?

    That was my first thought although the burnt curled tips had me thinking light until I saw shaded leaves starting to show similar behavior. larger pic attached. This isn’t a real threat to the plant, but it can’t be helping.

    Light burn?

    Looking for a take on these. it’s an orange punch x mimosa. This plant is 5 weeks into flower and theee mottled leaves have been spreading. This is hydro with temps sitting at 75 and RH at 55. PH is in range oscillating around 6. EC roughly 1.2 which seems to be balanced meaning I don’t see...

    resivour size

    It depends how high you want the water to fill, but let’s say it’s to 6 inches. That would be 3 x 3 x 0.5 cubic feet or 4.5 cubic feet. A gallon of water is roughly 0.15 cubic feet so I would assume 30 gallons to fill the table, but you want some additional water in your res because you can’t...

    Seedsman

    I don’t doubt that. I’m just adding my experience , and personally this is not a company I would entertain sending more of my money to.

    Seedsman

    I had a pretty poor experience with Seedsman. They aren’t a scam, but I wouldn’t do business with them again. I had issues with seeds not sprouting, misleading product descriptions, and poor customer service.

    Rigged water alarm for ebb and flow

    Thanks and yeah I bet you could, but i have no idea how. There is plenty of arduino enabled hardware if you have modest programming skills too. I’m sure there is something more elegant out there.

    Hydofe 240w light

    Bloom switches on those cheap blurple lights turn on the red diodes. I’m not familiar with hydofe, but if it has a bloom switch that’s probably what these are. Red diodes are good for stimulating flowering. You will have both less light and less of the more desirable light for flower. It...

    Rigged water alarm for ebb and flow

    I’ve had issues with my pumps not turning on for various reasons. pulled plugs myself on accident Forgot to reinstall tubing to pumps after cleaning Kasa timer failures I figure a pump failure is next, and the last incident really hurt my yield. Anyway I bought a couple govee water...

    Does this look right for Day 16?

    They look pretty spindly to me. There isn’t much I would call a canopy, but your progress seems ok for 16 days post light flip. Good luck!

    Light burn and water

    Thanks to both of you. The thoughts are appreciated. It’s one of those things where I’ve been doing it long enough to mostly know what I’m doing, but then I get a previously unseen curveball like this. I probably lost several ounces here, but at least I didn’t lose everything, and I learned...

    Light burn and water

    I have 4 plants growing in an ebb and flow system, 2 reservoirs that 2 plants are sharing. My spectacularly unreliable Kasa timers stopped working when I got a power glitch and the plants didn’t have water for a full 24 hours. I came back to find all of them at various stages of droopiness. I...

    Herbies seed ripoff.

    I’ve had very good luck with herbies. They sell single beans which is nice, and their prices are reasonable. Seeds have arrived every time.

    Lighting screw up! What should I do!

    Stopped by to see if anyone else had the same problems I had and came across this. Kasa is crap. Went a full day without flooding in an ebb and flow system because there was a power flash overnight. The plugs never bothered to run their schedule after that. One stellar plant is near fucking dead...

    Overcrowded?

    When I see this only 2 weeks into flower I can’t help but imagine a washing machine loaded up with 7 gallons of detergent. Nice looking plants, but It’s going to be rough.

    2nd grow, amnesia lemon and og kush from Barney's Farm

    They look really healthy to me. I don’t think you have a problem here.

    Trim

    If it has noticeable trichs I do keep it for hash. I assume trichomes are trichomes even on fan leaves.
