Wood ash mixed with water gives ya a good dosage of phosphorus

It is also how you make caustic soda, it will increase pH, use with caution and in small amounts.

nice led bulbs, gonna look at some, maybe try to take the diffuser off and the baffle to see how they do...heard of a few people being suprised of the turn out.

These were quite expensive to be honest for what they are . Duracell e27 leds 3000k 3.5 watts each i think

The girls outdoors are about midriff height now and enjoying the sun and humidity in the day.
So far the cold nights of winter seem like less of an issue than our dry hot summers. I hope the stay in veg a bit longer, I want big stuff.

i like mixing wood ash in my soils....gives the soil a little carbon intake, and a little phosphorus at the same time, especially when you let it cook down, in some case it will turn soil from a brownish color to more of a blackish color. Then i know i'm on the right track.....

nice size closet, think mines is about the same size.

also just a reminder the bulbs may say 100watts, but in reality they are 26watts, so when you add it up your using 11 (26watt bulbs), which still puts you in the range of 300watts, very nice for vegging.

I just have em for supllement light get more spectrum. I usually only leave those on for a while when i foliage spray.

why are you folar spray you should water from the bottom let the roots dig for water you feed by top watering. plants will take in water from leaves very easly. thus your roots my not need to grow in search of water. get the things they use to put under your plant that catches all the water.

looks great i like t5hos good job thanks for sharing
