    help - pH rising and scum bubbles on surface of water

    Negative. There's nothing on the bottle that says you need cal mag either though. ;) I am using it to hopefully supplement "boost." I am trying the molasses (again - but more carefully this time) after reading through a thread by HazyLady on the icmag forum.

    help - pH rising and scum bubbles on surface of water

    Thanks. That's what I think too. I thought I tried black strap a couple of years back for a run but don't remember the bubbles. I am adding 5ml / gallon of black strap on top of the Canna's "light feeding" schedule.

    help - pH rising and scum bubbles on surface of water

    Hey gang, I am running a drain to waste with Canna coco (with cal mag) and just mixed up a tank but it is getting like soap scum bubble build up on the surface. The only difference is that I added boost and blackstrap to the mix this time. the pH levels seem to be rising more rapidly now plus...

    Thanks for your interest and questions. I have not really monitored temps though I have ordered the RS223 (USB<->RJ45) doomaflatchi and software from Titan. Heat management is just easier and I have also yet to go through a California summer in the upstairs closet. It is cold here now. As far...

    Thanks, man. Yes, I have been running the UVB full time, though, it is plugged in to the lower plug on the Hades 2 now so it does have a 30 second delay after the CXBs come on. My BlueLab just started flashing last night so I had to run out and get some calibration fluid. Need to get that pH...

    New Cree COB farmer

    Hey folks, Long time lurker and occasional poster. I just switched the lights to 12/12 after a month on my first run with my new gear. Upgraded from vented 600w HPS to 400w (Timber) of Cree CXB3590 with 39w UVB. VERY impressed with the results so far!!! Lower wattage and easier to manage...
