Happy MunchDaze J6.....i am confused my friend....i typed up a little paragraph of how i use the aerogarden but dont see it.....by chance did i PM it to you?
lol.....or have you seen it hear....i think i am losing my mind over here
lol.......anyway your girls and setup are as clean and beautiful as ever bro
Thank's G.D
We did speak a bit in a PM but I would love to hear a full run down on your process.
Well i dont right on the actual bulb, just to make sure were on the same page
theres a plastic bit at the bottom of cfl as u probley know, just there
iv never heard of anything like that before either, i wouldnt see the need to do that. suppose there was a reason for it. And.. ur not suppose to directly touch the HPS bulb with ur hands it puts oils from ur fingers on it and i cant remember why or what happens but i just heard this in a Doc. just incase u didnt know
I was just BS'n around Indo.
I didn't think you actually wrote on the bulb it self.
I am aware of touching hid bulb's wit bare hand's but thank's for pointing it out.There may be someone out there that did not know that.
I use a clean disposable glove when changing High Intensity Discharge light bulbs as any oils from your hands can dramatically lower bulb life. Rubbing alcohol can be used to clean any oils from the light bulbs in case of contact.
Thank's John.
Im sure disposable glove's work great,but I like to use a microfiber towel.Reason being I can easily wipe clean any dusttat may have gotten in my cool tube and Hood's.
I hear oil from the hands on hid's can actually make the bulb burn or pop
It's true
G.D know's first hand.
Happy Daze J6
...I hope all is well with you and yours today
It can Chronic....when i did electrical work years ago was my first time dealing with a Halogen High Intensity bulb....i think it was halogen...but anyway i didnt know about the not touching the bulb and did as i replaced it...before i got off the ladder the other guy cut it on to make sure it worked and it exploded ......luckily none went in my eyes, but that was a first and last time for that
lol
I believe it's caused by the heat the heat they put off.You don't want to touch certain type's of automobile head light bulb's either.
Glad to hear no one was injured.
Glad it didn't get you in the eye
Jimmy I hope your right and we do get to sit down together one day and talk about all this and burn one.... I just love ya to pieces.....
On the USS I only used it 3 times on Queenie but with the girls in the big tent I have sprayed all of them just once.... I kinda just half azzed did it but it was just before going 12/12 and I think you can start even before that but need to stop a few weeks before harvest if using foliage spray.... It says if you are using in the water you can add up to 2 tsp the last couple of weeks of flower.... So I guess it is how you use it but it will be much less expensive using as a foliar spray... any how you can spray it on pretty liberally all over every 7 to 10 days just as light are going out.... it says not to apply during lights on cause it will cause it to burn.....
Thank's D and Love ya back..
Im glad you mentioned SSU.
I noticed on the feeding chart that it can be used all threw out the plant's life.
Feeding Schedule | Emerald Triangle
I don't know what effect/benefit it will have on vegging plant's but I plan on doing a bit of research and try and find out.
I did spray 2 of the Big N.L x BB and also the N.L x BB auto on 2/17.
Oh and also replaced hps bulb's on 2/17..
Got a few pic's.
Here's the N/L x BB auto.
I gotta say she has not looked very happy threw out the whole grow.She is growing just hardly ever perked up reaching.
Idk,what her deal id but like I said she's growing and has stretched quite a bit since sticking her under 12/12.
N.L x BB (auto)
A few sot's of the Big N.L x BB.
The 2 closestto the door were sprayed with SSU.
The 2 in back closest to the wall were not sprayed.
N.L x BB.
and the 10-#2 smart pot's.
I have not been feeding any cal/mag to these girl's as I didn't think I needed to being under hps.
I was wrong asyou can see in some of the pic's.
Mix of N.L x BB
Money Maker
Critical Kush.
Well that's it for now.
Planning on doing some transplanting today so should have an update tonight.
Thank's Everyone...
