    Bars or boards?

    Hi Is one better than the other? Diodes are diodes right, if you have some 301bs and some 660s, 730s etc in whatever configuration it shouldn't really matter right? Everything seems to be bars in favour of boards, I just wondered if there's any reason they perform better? Thanks!

    The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

    Hmm not quite the same spec: 301b 3/5000k mix x 424 660 red x 112 UV395 x 4 IR730 x 4 You can control the spectrum with remote control. I am FAR from an LED expert but this looks pretty nifty to me;

    Auto flower help

    Yeah it could be. You really need a pH and EC meter. Spend as much as you can. Critical bit of kit. But those lower single leafs always go yellow and drop off, rest of the plant doesnt look too bad.

    PH unknown - dude that's not going to do you any favours. Even the cheap ebay yellow $5 pH pens are better than nothing.

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Well, she is still alive but not looking great. I'll get something to smoke but not expecting amazing quality. The constantly rising ppm tells me shes not feeding, even now she is down at 340~ (tap water 180) so shes hardly getting anything, but still it goes up. Ph has been easier to control i...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Thanks. Ummmm to be honest, ive never really paid any attention to that. I use whatever scale my Milwaukee pen has as its default. If i measure my rez as 600 one day and 500 the next then i assume my ppm has dropped. And vice versa. As long as im not taking different readings with different pens...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Well shes hanging in there. Ive really tried to take on board what ive been told here and not to overfeed so ppm has been very low about 420 ish. But theres new signs of deficiency which again looks like Ca to me so ive bumped her up to about 480ppm with pure CalMag. Consisdering my water is...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    The damage got much worse yesterday :( its so frustrating when plants get sick! I gave her a big shot of CalMag cos it looked like a Ca deficiency which brought ppm up to 660 but after 12 hours that hadnt changed so i reduced it to 580. Noticed all the fan leave tips are looking a bit burned so...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Weird things going on in bucket. After switching to bloom butes, pH shot up from 6 to 7, ppm dropped from 520 to 330 in 24 hours which is a huge drop. Also noticed spme rusty spots on the very top leaves. Possibly from the pH too high, i dunno. But it looks more like a Ca issue than a Mg issue...

    Ca 2.4% Mg 2%. You think im better off using the epsom salts rather than CalMag?

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Ok cheers man, the Canna Aqua is 4-4-11 with 2% Mg according to the datasheets. Is that enough?

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Switched over to bloom nutes today gave her 520ppm. I think the shot of epsom salts did her some good and shes looking OK, a bit gangly for my liking but Im a sativa guy so thats par for the course i guess.

    So you think i need a chiller?

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Hmmm. Interesting. Over the last 24 hours no change to ppm, 570...not sure if thats a good or a bad thing?

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    From 500 she only dropped to 470 overnight but the rez level dropped a lot. I topped her up with water and added some epsom salts which brought me to about 530 but then made a bit of a mess getting the pH right and needed a lot of ph up/down so it ended up about 570. But the tip burn hasnt got...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Yes in an ideal world id have a chiller, not disputing that. But i dont have the cash for one,and i dont have the skills to salvage one from a freezer. I used to have a cheap aquarium thermometer to measure the rez temps but ive managed ok without it. At peak summer like i said yes my rez get...

    Nitrogen toxicity - lockout

    Ok fair enough, but if you do check with multiple devices, and they dont agree what then? I had a RH issue one summer. I had a reading on my dehumidifier, a digital hygrometer and an analogue hygrometer. All different. Which one was i supposed to believe? After multiple purchases I have a pH...
