    Humidity Too High??

    Here's my current weather at 6:30 am. Temp/RH Outside: 62F/91rh (raining) Garage where tent is: 68F/60rh In 3x3x7 foot tent: 72F/69-77rh My White Widow autoflowers are starting to flower now and I'm concerned that the RH is too high and I don't know what to do. I have two 6" fans blowing...

    LEC doing well

    I'm finding no downside to this light yet. Loving it. It pulls about 355W from the wall but as I have read, it equals our betters a 600W HID. It's perfect for my 3x3.

    LEC doing well

    Neither of those an issue with me. Heat is between HID and LED. Also I'm pulling about 400 to 430W from the wall depending on where I set the fan speed. This is the entire usage by the tent.

    LEC doing well

    The stretching has slowed and the flowers are coming on these White Widow autoflowers. What strikes me about this Sun System 315W LEC is how well the light penetrates. 31 days from seed.

    Rainwater

    Thank you. The tank has a fine screened stainless filter but that is it.

    Rainwater

    That's a great point. Bird poop and dust in the initial fill after a dry spell. I've thought about that some. This fill is after some rains but I guess I do run the risk.

    Rainwater

    It's roof into a 205 gallon Bushman tank. My last grow loved it.

    Rainwater

    As far as pure rainwater goes 7.0 is okay?

    Rainwater

    I use collected rainwater. It is 7.0 ph. When I add my nutes the solution drops to 5.9. I use "Ph Up" and bring it to 6.5. I have them in a 50/50 mix of FFOF and FFHF. Does the ph up or ph down products add salt? I want to give them pure rainwater every so often. Should I ph down it or is 7.0...

    Seed question

    My last grow was Northern Lights Autoflowers and Fast & Vast Autoflowers. One of my F&V went hermie so I have a few seeds. Would the NL seeds be a cross-breed auto that might work? :blsmoke:

    Another great post. Thanks!

    New "Drug Czar"

    Progress is never as fast as we'd like but in these last 3 years there has been tremendous reform and progress in ending the war on weed. Most progress in my lifetime (59 years). The new direction in leadership at the DEA is a big change. Again, I understand the frustration but let's not ignore...

    Ideal pH and TDS range for runoff?

    The title says it. I have a pH meter and today I will get a TDS meter. I'm growing in a mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Happy Frog with added coarse perlite. Also, what ppm range should my nute mix be?

    New "Drug Czar"

    Watch this. Very good that Obama appointed him. I disagree with his pot phobia but that pales in the overall profound new direction his office is going. Great news. Thank you Obama! A New Direction On Drugs - CBS News http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-a-new-direction-on-drugs/

    Grow More nutes

    You are correct in that I need to pH the mix. I'll try not using it and see. The pure rainwater is about 7 and when I add nutes it drops to about 5.9. I pH-UP it to 6.5.

    Grow More nutes

    Wow...that would be about 1/2 to 1 gallon. I've never had that much runoff. In soil I'm wondering if I need that much runoff?

    Grow More nutes

    My next grow will be soiless like coco and photos not autos. Thanks again!

    Grow More nutes

    I'll get a PPM meter today. What is the ideal runoff reading and does the FF soil add to this reading? Also, with say 50 ounces per water/feeding I should have 10-15 ounces of runoff? Last watering I gave them 48 ounces and I know I didn't get that much runoff. I'm in 3 gallon fabric pots if...

    Grow More nutes

    Thanks for the info! Would you recommend just plain water every third watering to help maintain soil balance?
