That's some fairly large jumps and in a completely erratic, random manner. It's true that outside temps have fluctuated a lot over that period, and water temp will affect pH, but that's an alarming variance in pH if you ask me. I'm really starting to hate my tap water.
-- See Rangers post, #73, this thread. That would be a good way to go for your plants. The fish are a bonus for trace elements, a little nutes, growth & sex hormones. Plain ole gold fish. Can be found around here @ $1.00 a doz. Freezing doesn't hurt them, but don't have them on the sunny side of the house in the summer. Theyre a cold water fish. You can't get cheaper or more natural, & fish are fun! You can find limestone at most landscape nurseries. Look for them no smaller than two fists put together. And I still don't want you to drink your damned tap water! I'm serious!
-- OMB, I'm sorry, but I don't want you to drink Chromophores tap water either! LMAO! I thought we were on Chroms thread, sorry we keep 'jacking' you! But do take note, water quality should be important to everyone.
catbuds Reviewed by catbuds on . Will 150w HPS outperform 372w of T5HO? Well, I'm going to Find out! Only really applies to me and my particular grow, but a worthy effort anyway. A couple day's ago I put two under the T5's, and two under the HPS. I think the HPS at 150w is about 18,000 Lumen?...and the T5's are pushing 35,000 Lumen. I will throw a couple pics up when the "wakeup" tonight, should be interesting anyway. Predictions? Rating: 5
