    Best Par meter recommendation

    People usually use some printer paper over the IPhone camera to diffuse the light and get the Photon App to read PAR. They have reported that it will bring it closer to the correct PAR reading when compared to an actual PAR meter.

    Flushing

    If your basing it off of breeder "times", don't. Use it as a guide only, as they are never correct, and growing environments differ widely. Your plants will tell you when they are done, and the pics you posted, you have more than "a week or so". As Herb stated above, I wouldn't even start...

    What did you accomplish today?

    I went into the shop this morning, cut up a bunch of Uni-Strut, gathered bolts and fittings, in preparation for bud room modifications for the new light. Checked on clones, made sure the new timer is working correctly, and watered the plants. Now it's Time to enjoy the rest of my day

    Outdoors SE Virginia

    It all depends on your weather, I'd probably say April 15 in your neck of the woods would be Ok. I probably can't get mine outdoors until around the beginning of May. I've already had mine growing for a bit, so I'm not putting seedlings out this year, I'll be putting fully established plants...

    MSNL Germination Problems?

    I didn't even "soak" my last batch, 22 out of 22 from 5 different breeders, some popped in under 8 hours, the longest was 48 hours. Wet a paper towel, stuck it with the seeds in a ziplock baggie, threw them in a dark cupboard in the bathroom. Have been doing it this way for as long as I can...

    Need advice for choosing a budget method

    I bought a set of bags, $35 and a washer, another $45. One of the best investments I've ever made, if you bought the Bubbledude's "kit" it was like $170. No sense is spending $135 for the same washer that I got for $45. The setup I went with paid for itself in the 1st 3 minute wash, and just...

    Clones wilting in aerocloner?

    I just foliar feed well water straight from my tap. It's all kinds of whacked, high calcium, high PH, and by all rights, is way out of the "zone" for growing cannabis, but my plants all seem to love it, and I don't have to waste time with PH up, PH down, EC adjustments, etc. Just water and go.

    Clones wilting in aerocloner?

    I just took 16 cuttings Sunday, only 2 "drooped" on Monday. Foliar fed them, and they bounced back up within an hour. Non Ph'd well water, dipped cuttings in Aloe slurry, 2 Tbsp Azos added to water, plugged cloner in, and away we went. Temps in room are 75deg, 55%RH, no dome, and none of them...

    Electric costs

    I would say that more than likely your heater is taking up probably 2-3x what your light is using. The benefit to using HPS lamps is the radiant heat that is thrown off, LED's don't have nearly the radiant heat coming off them.

    Flushing

    Well, you wasted your money buying a "flushing agent" that you could of spent on something useful. I've never in all my years flushed any of my plants. They don't taste like chemicals, and burn a nice white ash. I cut the nutrients back in late flower, but have never fallen into the bro science...

    2nd grow need help.

    I don't know how your watering, but what helped me out immensely was a $14 harbor freight sprayer. I can let my plants get bone dry, use the sprayer to water, and have a Better handle on getting the water spread out and saturating the medium until runoff. Have not had one issue with my medium...

    Dying leaves/no growth (bugs?)

    Personally, I would scrap them all, sanitize the entire grow space, and work on getting your room dialed in to the proper temp and humidity. Add heaters, humidifier, dehumidifier, and get your core room dialed in, plants don't grow well with the environment #'s you posted. Also, if your going to...

    Temps and humidity under LED

    I hear ya, since my room is in the basement, and "hidden" (actually sits outside the house) I had a hell of a time, especially switching to LED. I had to get the room "dialed in" and once I did, my plants took off after stalling for about a week. Everything is in the "zone" now, and I'm going to...

    Temps and humidity under LED

    If you look at the top of all the charts, they are basing it off of leaf temp. I was only sent the one chart, another member showed me that there were more, and the VPD "zone" changes based off leaf temp. My room was all kinds of whacked until I got it dialed in, then plants went nuts.

    Apparently there were more charts than what I was sent. Here are the others.

    $400 a vehicle

    It's not "free" money, it's money we have already spent on car insurance due to the Michigan Catstrophic Claims Fund. We pay the highest auto rates in the US in Michigan. The fund has a 5 Billion dollar surplus, and has been ordered to refund the surplus to insured drivers. We have already been...

    Gumby hash

    That I can't answer, as I ponied up the $35 for a set of bags. Paid for themselves with the 1st wash of trim I did.

    Regular seeds

    You either pay to have them tested, or do like most, and play the waiting game until the plant tells you once they reach sexual maturity, or you start the flower cycle. There is no "this is a female seed, this is a male seed" with regular seeds. I play the 50/50 game when I plant regs, 2 seeds...
