    Hydroponics and tap water?

    I was wondering more about what the metabolic byproducts are that make ph rise.

    Flooding schedule in ebb and flo

    You can get WiFi outlets with timers down to the minute for maybe 12 bucks. If you are really trying to figure it out that might be worth trying.

    Flooding schedule in ebb and flo

    If all you have are slightly droopy first leaves and the new ones are now good it may be best to just watch and wait. Can’t wrap my head around overwatering with ebb and flow with air stones, but it sounds like there is some kind of connection based on what you are actually seeing. One thing...

    Flooding schedule in ebb and flo

    I’m running from seed so it’s slightly different. Typically I’m putting them in the medium about 6 days from the start of germination. Haven’t tried more frequently at the start since what I had was working, and no issues running that right off the bat. The other thing that is different is that...

    Flooding schedule in ebb and flo

    I have been starting with 3 or 4 floods a day and bump to more frequent flooding as they mature, topping out at a flood every 2 hours during lights on, and nothing during lights off. I do have air stones in the res. It seems like that would deal with any overwatering issue. If you can run roots...

    Qb96 question

    No 6 at 80 watts each. I have 2 separate frames of 3 boards and a 240 watt driver each. It works well with my oddly sized growing area.

    Is this normal?

    Maybe you should compromise and agree to no cats ever and no girlfriends during flower.

    Qb96 question

    Thanks. They’re great boards. I highly recommend them. I’m pretty mechanically inept and they were still pretty easy to do. The main thing I would have done differently is cut the aluminum outside. I was cleaning little shards of aluminum out of my basement for 2 weeks. End result though was a...

    Spiked up leaves

    That first picture does look like it has some heat stress with the ways the leaves are curling up. There are also some burnt tips on leaves in the background which could be heat/light or hot nutes. Personally, that plant is pretty well established so I wouldn’t be too freaked if the problem has...

    Qb96 question

    There are multiple approaches but here’s what I did with my qb96 set up if it helps. I have 6 qb96 elite v2’s and 2 meanwell drivers. So I built 2 racks with 3 boards on each. I picked up some t-slot aluminum (you can find it on amazon). I cut the aluminum to size and got corner brackets to...

    A really religious seedling

    It’s flooding 5 times a day for 2 minutes a flood which is enough to hit the overflow return on the flood table. I also have an air stone in the res so I don’t think it’s oxygen. I have managed to get the temps up a little during lights on by turning off the in-line fan on a timer for 10 minutes...

    A really religious seedling

    Thanks for the feedback. Still feel like something is off as it’s peers are working on their third set of leaves, but it’s green, and I’ve looked at what I can. Maybe the roots will grow out and it will take off.

    A really religious seedling

    Looking for opinions on this seedling. It’s hard core religious in that it prays like no other seedling I have seen. Either that or it’s decided to declare victory over something. It may be hard to see from the picture but the angle of the leaves is a literal V This is 12 days from seed. It...

    Hydroponics and tap water?

    What is going on biologically that makes ph rise?

    Growing my first lady!!!

    You likely don’t need an extra fan to bring air in. The output fan should reduce pressure in the tent and bring air in from the outside. Most or I imagine all grow tents have places for air to enter the tent. If the walls aren’t getting sucked in you are fine. You will want a small clip on fan...

    Is this common? Purple in the trichomes?

    I had some hints of purple in some of my trichs on a juicy fruit strain. This isn’t the best picture of it but you can see a hint of them in the lower right of the pic. I will say it’s a wonderful smoke so that bodes well.

    Pgr maddness

    Great weed from anywhere was a rarity up until recently in the US Midwest. When I was in college part of the ritual of buying a quarter was always picking out a wad of seeds and stems. In fact on the rare occasion I didn’t get seeds it almost made me wonder if something was wrong :)

    What size holes do you like for scrog

    I ran 5 inches on my last grow and it was really too large. I built a new scrogging frame for the next one that has 4 inch squares. I’m using pvc for the frame and gardening ties for the netting. I found that the nylon netting just doesn’t do a good job of holding the plants down.
