    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    I get that. One thing I do not see is this.......leaves reaching for the light. Plants have nice development, but they look tired. Not picking on you. I want to clarify that point. Nice density. Nice formations. Tired droopy foliage. Liquid karma and microbelife are 2 products I would add to...

    Your opinion is what I asked for. Aside from the energy costs and the heat how's the end result? From your point of view.

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    It is hot. By gardening standard. Some genetics aren't bothered by it though. Ocean is indeed a hot product. I've seen mature plants burn right up with it. They have dialed it back sometime along the last 6-8 years. Not like it used to be. It is a good product. BUT, what works for you may not...

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    Lol....been around awhile... Their soils are great soils. Don't get me wrong, I like them. BUT because they are so rich nutrient overlap is very easy to achieve. Especially when you're using a complete line of nutrition. The soilless medias compensate for this. Allows gardener to cater to the...

    How close can a t5 be to canopy??

    6" is a good distance for T5 lighting. Veg or Flower either one. BUT....you should always double your light in flower. Example: you have a 48--4' 8 bulb assembly. You veg using 4 center bulbs . Use all 8 bulbs for flower. Alternate spectrums---full spectrum. Gives more influence to those certain...

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    Indeed. Learning from those mistakes is the key. We all make mistakes. We all don't learn from them. I've been around it for over 30yrs. I've seen some tragedy in my day. I manage a Hydro store and have MANY students following my advice. Never have I had anyone come back with negative comments...

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    Ok....fox farm is a great choice. They are right it is hot. It is designed for 10footers that are outdoors. BUT, with a little practice this product will produce delicious results. I promise. That being said...use pro-mix hp or sunshine #4 instead of their soils. These are soilless medias.....no...

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    As the gardener, it is your job to flower. Anyone can veg a plant to perfection. It's all about the flowers. Understanding that mother nature has perfected this process over eons and eons. You can not reinvent the wheel. Understand there is such a thing as TOO MUCH light. So always choose...

    Noob question about PH use I can not find anywhere.

    When adjusting PH, always add small amounts at a time. Allow some time for reactivity. If you do add too much of one you CAN add the other to bring it back. It does NOT affect things. But, that being said, what is the PH before adjustment? Hydro or Soil or Soilless? 5.5-6.5 is a good range to...

    Crispy plant in flower! Wtf.. help me out

    Organics can and do come in a bottle. Just to clear that point up. Even with a top dress product it is still very easy to over do it. Just take longer to come thru is all. With organics you should feed once and water in at least three times. Allows plants time to use it. Ok, it's like this. If...

    Crispy plant in flower! Wtf.. help me out

    2 number 1 issues in most gardens are this,1) over feeding-your plants will not eat everything you give them. There is always something left behind that adds to the next feeding schedule, etc. Always feed low. Your plants can not process more ppm than the amount of energy being provided. I.E...
