    Can hydro taste as good as soil??

    You should go get some spider mites so we can see how effective the predator mites are. More BS. Neither flushing nor using organics have anything to do with bud burning white.

    No stretching issue

    They look good, but stop spraying them with water!

    Different Nutrients Different PPM?

    Being stronger means higher ppm.

    Help deficiency/toxicty week 5 flower.

    Somehow sodium bicarbonate is not an inorganic chemical now.

    Help deficiency/toxicty week 5 flower.

    Where to even begin with this.... I know... calling it BULLSHIT!

    Anyone running cobs at 100 watts each?

    No. All that matters is average ppfd or photosynthetic power density.

    3000k vs 4000k

    I'd go with 3000k

    how to make plant stretch?

    Lower your R:FR ratio and it will stretch more.

    Nitrogen cycle - N forms not all the same?

    This is mostly true. Plants can use ammonium ions directly for a small amount of N, but you will quickly run into glossy dark leaves (what's commonly seen as "N Toxicity"). Ammonium competes with potassium updake and can effectively block K channels. The majority of N should come from...

    Done with mirrors

    I'd imagine that anything toward the bottom of the walls won't really matter anyway unless you're trying to reflect far-red. Don't tell anyone, but I just tape aluminum foil to the walls of my veg box. (common noob mistake.. shhh)

    Led light and foxtailing

    That's normal for LED. (turning this into a 30 page thread)

    Does anyone really care though?

    The far red thread

    I've always suspected this to be the case, but never wanted to try myself. Thanks for the info.

    The far red thread

    So just to confirm, after the stretch is finished, running far-red the whole day won't cause stretch, and will cause faster flowering? I've been thinking about trying this for a while. Any disadvantages you can see? Is it worth the extra power? I could easily change my timer to get another...

    safe range of calmag

    Also, if you need more Ca, it's very likely you also need more N. (for what should be obvious reasons. You can't get enough nitrates from KNO3 without extremely high levels of K)

    safe range of calmag

    Why not just buy calcium nitrate and then you could decide to use Magnesium sulfate, magnesium nitrate or neither. I'm guessing you're in hydro. The reason they use magnesium nitrate is to not include sulfate and calcium ions concentrated in the same stock solution. It's very hard to go wrong...

    T5 LED bulbs

    I'd probably just start over. Get rid of the fixture and use the money on DIY LED. I feel like buying these hold me over tubes is prolonging the inevitable. You'll just end up spending more money in the long run.

    Found these lights at a scrap yard

    People power their LEDs with voltages sources now? Shows how out of the loop I've been.

    can an led light match a 1000 wat hps

    A deep red with 3.91umol/J. This is exactly why say PPF can be just as misleading as power if allowed be to mislead. (QES vs efficiency, which is basically the same argument). If you think efficiency is misleading because a blue lamp will seem better than a red lamp, the same is true with...

    GPW? Should we start focusing on GSQM instead?

    I guess I should let my plants grow into my lamps rather than pulling them down because a chart tells me it's better.
