The damn thing sounded like it was gonna make the bulb explode. High pitch nose that seemed to get louder then fade away within a cpl minutes. I turned it off and called solis tek, they said it was fine, and also said it was abnormally loud when using a new ballast and bulb. His explanation in...

Never heard of hydro fuel. Advanced works well. Bit expensive but works. He is right. Just got to get he ratios of each one right for what the plant is asking for.

Having the light too close to the canopy is going to deminish yields not increase them. If your hood is not exactly the same size as your canopy footprint is actuall better to keep it 12-18 inches above canopy so light can spread evenly. (ie a euro hood in a 4x4 tent)

Every single one of my solis tek ballast did that the first few days. Then it stoped. It was especially loud when running on 110v.

Sounds like the solis tek matrix ballast.

Is it running on 110v or 220v and what is the brand.

You in hydro or soil?

Yes, plants still need to breath when lights are off. You are "suffocating" them when temps get that low. The stomata opens for gas exchange. The plants intake oxygen and outtake c02 during light off. Shoot for 70 lights off, 75-80 lights on.

General Rule for temps. If you are comfortable in your room in shorts and shirt so are your plants. Not to mention the low temps lead to extremely high humidity.

The low temps don't allow the stomata to open, which leads to the plants not being able to transpire water or absorb co2.

Struggling wit the same thing with the cyco line up. Try droppin your ppms. Seemed to help on my side. Are you using dr.repair?

Damn hydro shops got another one! Sweet grape, sweet citrus, bud candy and molasses are all just sources of carbs. Big bud is a flower additive to be used weeks 2-4 with the addition of some base nutrients. I don't recommend using the MG, but if u do start at 1/4 strength. Add big bud weeks...

You've been getting away with murder running 2000 watts on a 15 amp circuit. I bet if u felt those outlets they are hot as hell. I recommend running as much equipment on 220v as you can. (Ballast, ac, dehumidifier) it's much cleaner power. Hire a electrician if you are 1. Tryin to stay to...

That's 100 ppm right out of my tap. Well water. I do not use a RO but change my whole home filter constantly. (Every 2 to 3 weeks) Trust me, you do not want 50 gallons a day. Get atleast a 100, preferably the 200 hydrologic makes good ones.

My ppm is 100. If it gets above that my ph will drift daily.

Just depends what your going for. Less work for more start up money. Or more work for less startup money. Also depends if your looking for perfection or just tryin to get some nugs. Perfection=ro.

It has been said to lead to higher chances of mental disease if started at an early age (before puberty)

I don't like my rooms to get under 68. It stops transpiration.
