Thanks Shed. Yeah I'm working and the thugs were giving the gift if lead this holiday season. Working a shooting right now. Normally it's a pretty quiet night but not so far. Hope Santa is good to you. My In-Laws went way over the top this year and are buying us a hot tub. Now I get to build a pad on our sloped lot for it. Gracious for the gift, not so much for the project it creates
My wife loves ours, and keeps it at 103-104º! I can sit in it for about 3 minutes at that temperature, but I think that's part of her plan

Clear on that. My wife can cook a lobster and take a bath at the same time.
I keep ours at 100. Perfect!My wife loves ours, and keeps it at 103-104º! I can sit in it for about 3 minutes at that temperature, but I think that's part of her plan
I dropped mine to 98º since my wife and daughter are in England, but haven't had the motivation to see how that feels. Maybe tomorrow when everything is closed!

Hey fs hope ur holidays are going good so a few people are thinking its an N toxicity issue so wud maybe dropping the cal-mag i got all 2gether for since the cal-mag is 2-0-0 an idk how the faux-tekt stuff we made is so what would u suggest i do?

How much of each are you using (Mega and Cal-Mag)? Faux-Tekt® has no N to worry about but I'd still keep in proportion. So if you were using 6g Mega, I'd dial it back to 5g Mega, 5ml Cal-Mag, 5ml Faux-Tekt®.

She looks good.
Suggestion, take your plant that's having issues. Run a couple gallons 5/5/5 (5 Mega, 5 Cal-Mag, 5 Silica) at her until you get some runoff. Check that runoff with TDS tester. Compare the runoff ppm with ppm of a gallon of 5/5/5. You're looking for the stuff that came out to only be a couple hundred points over what went in. If it's significantly higher, you have build up in your growing media. If so, add another gallon of 5/5/5. Test some of the last runoff from it. Is it within a couple hundred points now? If yes, stop, you flushed out the build up. If no, keep going. A mature plant shouldn't be having an issue with N toxicities at the 5/5/5 level.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Everyone went way overboard around our house. I know I got way more than I deserved, or really needed. On the growing front, my daughter got me a set of clip on lenses for my cell phone so that I can take nice macros. Haven't gotten to take pics of the ladies yet but snapped a quick shot of a succulent growing in the window. Came out pretty nice. The wife also got me (and the rest of the family) KISS tickets for their final your. Should be a good time although I have to wait till September for that. She also bought me a suitcase, which is hilarious since that's what I bought her too.

If it's 10 gallon it's gonna take a lot to get runoff. I'd probably pour 4 gallons of straight tap water at it, and then follow that up with 2 gallons of 5/5/5. So 6 gallons of liquid total. That should give you decent runoff to rinse your medium.

Ok so i went ahead an did what u suggested but the run off was still super dark so i did more plain water 8 or 9 gallons of plain tap then will do the 2 gallons of 5/5/5 an i should tht even tho for flower they say six?
