    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    As promised, updated pictures. This is 7 days of veg. I think another half week to week of veg before flipping- and even then maybe I should use some hooks horizontally in the net support to hang a trellis wherever the tops are then and then put a trellis at the top too? Input? With LEDs you...

    Calcium hypochlorite rates?

    FWIW, I'm actually running beneficials now. At first I was dosing the bacteria by themselves to ensure there was no extra nasties I didn't want that got in the tea brew, but on Friday I brewed a tea and have experienced no negative effects from foliar and reservoir addition. My recipe: -1/4...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    Well Lateral stretch is what I'd like, some are big enough they will be able to reach the nets location soon, but some I'm not sure if they're tall enough yet to reach even with the stretch unless they more than double in size. I'll post another picture tomorrow night, but maybe I should let...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    Thanks Nancy! I saw the double screen captainmorgan had set up on the ones he was flowering. I'm wondering what is the use of the second screen? I know that the glue is known to be weak and need support but I was trying to just fill out an even canopy at 12" for optimal light distribution. I...

    Any current ways to beat a hair test pls help

    They'll just make you come take one in a few weeks - or take hair from somewhere else. It stays in your hair for something like 6 months so I don't think he can put it off that long. Is there a religion you can join that prevents you from giving hair and offer to take a piss test?

    Any current ways to beat a hair test pls help

    Get a real hair wig from someone who didn't use and pay someone big bucks to make it look legit - or bang the person doing the test.

    @captainmorgan @MegaBud @NurseNancy420 @Hammerhead571 I've seen you all in other threads about the glue and you seem to be quite knowledgeable on this strain. This will be my first run flowering with them and I was wondering at 1 plant per sqft should I flip in 2 days time with just one week...

    Looks like endomycorrhiza may be the reason for the brown. I did a root tip squash and put it under the scope (one of the browning roots.) It appears they're actually in the cells of the roots. You can see they've branched around. I even took a vid and you can see the little buggers...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    It's my understanding that root zone temps and canopy temps both come into play. You can take one farther in one direction as long as it's compensated for by the other. I have done some research on rooting temps and of the plants I looked at 30 C (85F) or in some cases 27-28C was optimal for...

    Do you guys rec'd mars hydro 1600 watt led lights? sure are cheap...

    @churchhaze I think the context of this entire discussion is wrong. You have resistive heating, whereby at most you can have 100% efficient heating. Then you have light. Light is not heat. When looking at efficiency of different light fixtures you're looking at (ideally) their ability to...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    I didn't journal it but I tried running just basic nutes last run and it went great for a bit then I ended up with some serious root rot. I treated with chlorine and then (too much) physan 20 and probably killed the plants before I got the hydroguard. If you're just running basic nutes you're...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    And why would you see these issues in aero but not any other system? That's the part that doesn't make sense. FWIW though I grabbed my infrared heat gun and checked - root temps are 72-73, I thought they'd be higher. I switched to 3 on 6 off on the sprays and now my reservoir is 67-68. I'm...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    Thanks. I tried to maximize the space I had to work with at this spot. If I had more choice in the matter, knowing what I know now, I'd do things a bit differently. Six foot is too damn big for a table across and it's hard to reach. Moving it sucks as I'd like to get some sort of quick lock...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    70F will never happen in the root chamber. I didn't think it would be an issue as the roots are suspended in air for at least the first foot and there's a 2 degree slope for drainage. I never suspected it to be an issue as it isn't in NFT or flood and drain or dirt or anything..it's just the...

    Generator rated output?

    I'm not big into generators so I've never heard of Champion, but I do know that Generac, while expensive - is quality. One thing to ask a sales associate may be is if the generator can power a flatscreen TV. Some generators produce "dirty" power and it's fine for your microwave or fridge but...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    Thanks, I may not have been paying close attention last time but they seemed to stay pearly white for the better part of a week and then one day I had some black spots and some brown spots and the next day everything was infected and smelled like rot. I did get a slight bit of nutrient burn on...

    Generator rated output?

    On any given circuit the most you want to run is 80% of the rated amperage. If you're working backwards and using the current amperage draw you just multiply by 1.25. Bear in mind most generators will come rated at say, 10,000 watts but they only have one 30 amp plug and several 20 amp plugs...

    Pathogen Control

    Some nutes have organics in them and may help bacteria spread. I recently used an aero cloner and got "slimed" once my temps went over 73. Using pondzyme and hydroguard I was able to beat the slime and only lost a few clones. With the infection I dosed at 10mL/gallon of hydroguard.

    Calcium hypochlorite rates?

    I used an ORP meter to measure the water while using calcium hypochlorite and an automated injection system to keep ORP ~600. The plants didn't fare well. The chlorine binds with the ammonium in the nutrient solution and the system ends up continuing to dose more chlorine and you get chlorine...

    About a pound? Uncharted HPA Territory?

    Hey I'm back. I lost the first crop to overwatering from rapid rooters, using chlorine as a disenfectant, and bugs. I lost a second crop to root rot. I wish I had taken pictures of the plants, they were beautiful. Grew about a foot in a week most of them. First I had some brown/black spots...
