    Supplemental UV, how do you schedule yours and when do you start using it?

    At the very least I see people turning it on for the last few weeks a couple hours a day, but considering it’s effect on limiting stretch I’m tempted to turn it on as early as possible. on at flip seems like it would be a safe bet. anyone veg with uv? How does that go if so?

    EC levels variation when transitioning from top feed to roots in water?

    After a few grows under my belt in my current RDWC I’ve come to learn that practically every single online “guide” to EC levels wants me to way over feed my plants. I do only veg for about 4 weeks, and run a chiller, a Venturi, waterfall returns, lots of DO, basically everything that helps the...

Now that my res temps are stable around 66-68 degrees, do the...

    Did I just get some bunk/counterfeit Floralicious Plus off of Amazon? K ratio and address different

    Old bottle has .02 K and a Sebastopol CA address. New Bottle showed up saying .5 K and a Santa Rosa CA address. Then I noticed that they both claim to be 1 pint or 16 ozs but one says 473ml and the other says 437ml, which seems like just the type of dumb type-o a counterfeiter would make. i...

    Question about diluting nutes for ppm, feedcharts and additives

    A lot of people say to run nutes at ~50% strength to avoid nute burn, and after running and following the GH expert feed chart https://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-REC_03216am.pdf (which seemingly includes virtually every product) I’ve seen why. If you were to run this feed chart...
