    What PH for Promix HP?

    Even with a six month long sativa grow I have not seen a ph issue.... Perhaps it depends on what you are feeding. Mega Crop one part is chelated, GH Maxi series is ph balanced, no need to adjust the ph of water in. But if you want to adjust ph, go for it :mrgreen: I'd rather not mess...

    Upgrading LED Lights

    I don't use ec, I use ppm's and when I ran the Maxi Series anything over 1000 would burn.... If you pay any attention to VPD you need to consistently lower your temperature. 50% and 77F will put you in the green zone. Since you say you are experiencing mold I would try to get the rh down to...

    Upgrading LED Lights

    FWIW > I don't rely on the power knob to set power, I use a simple free lux meter on my phone and convert to par x .015. But, it's more complicated than that ! What is your feed ppm ? What is your temperature at plant height ? What is the rh ? How and where is your ventilation/air...

    Selling used, older tech grow lights: Is it even worth it?

    I recently purchased a new LED and even though I am on a tight budget I did not consider used simply because I would have no idea how much life is left in them. And the technology has come a long way in the past few years... I have a 42" parabolic reflector, a gull wing reflector and two newer...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    I "charge" my SIP's with a gallon from the top the day before transplant. At transplant I fill the reservoir till about half full and maintain a 1/3 full daily until they drink that in one day. Then I fill it daily, usually takes a couple of weeks ;) This is day 30, 12 days from...

    Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

    Just a FWIW ! I'm on day 22 of my first grow with a Phlizon 640w LED, long time die hard HID user :weed: The first germinated seed to emerge in a solo cup was under 9,000 lux, she was looking stretchy.... Two days later I raised the power to 13,000 lux and all six plants were growing somewhat...

    Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

    Giving one to two liters is just teasing the plant :mrgreen: Is the pot light when you water ? Have you used a wood skewer to see how close to the top of the medium is wet ? Without watering to a run off of ~1L it is possible you have a build up issue. Put the plant/bag on two sticks...

    What temp and light do you Germinate with?

    I like to KISS :mrgreen: About 1/2 oz of spring water in a shot glass and a few drops of H202 ! Drop a seed in and place in large tupperware container on my kitchen table... Just dropped five strains, when I checked them @39 hours All had tails. Into solo cups and under Led at ~ 200 par...

    Even if it worked on their dot com site the $ conversion, taxes and duties would likely kill it... But, I will check ;) Cheers
