Welcome to the forum @thewidowwhite, I notice you grow in roots organics original. Have you ever used green fields? That soil is a coca peat compost that is a great veg soil. I have this grow going and invited you over here for I am a roots guy ! Been using it and having all kinds of problems with pH. But now am only using it for the top half of the 7 gal pot, and bottom half is a mix of some super soil filled with goodies for flower. I have this grow going with so far 3 pots have original on top half and the other two, (peyote wifi) are topped with green fields. I really love the soil , never have bugs because I buy it from the store that is a good store, but going to be venturing into living soil soon , something you may be interested in too because most of us are organic growers and advancing in that field, happy growin and welcome.

Good looking setup, I really like how my Chilled Logic Pucks are doing. I have eight of them lighting a 24" X 60" area at the end of my main flower room. Excellent lights.

The main lights are 12 Bridgelux COBs.

Looking real nice. The Peyote WiFi are the seeds I ordered from Seedsmen that I never got w the free peyote gorilla. They said they didn’t get my payment. Still fighting it.

I ordered the same thing, I read your post over there and was going to say something but didn’t , but they took my bitcoin order and never responded back confirming the transaction, 10 days go by, I was emailing them, then they said seeds shipped and next day they were in my mailbox. so don’t know whats going on but think some sort of glitch happened and they made good on it.

I’ll have eight of them in this tent, they run alittle more in money but I got a feeling that it will pay for itself. Just the response from the plants tells me this, I put in tent, turned down low and plants woke up and look alive. big difference between blurples and these high efficacy lights.

Just watering with no nutes, hopefully this will be the future, super soil, living soil, pHing at 6.5 now that I have a new pH pen it even more confirms the old apera seen it’s days, didn’t last a year, would drift all over the place, go up and down, all around and would take several minutes to even out, this new one,… Bam done in seconds, no drifting and it is spot on. oh well,… got it now.

I’m kinda new to the whole living soil myself and I haven’t read everything so someone else might have already mentioned this but things like chlorine in your tap water can kill all the “living” things in your soil.

Leaving your water out overnight can help but RO systems are the sure thing

Oh darn it, sorry @tdubwilly I had posted what i was using for water filter in another thread here (Problems with RO Water) but things are rapidly changing. I bought a new pH pen that is acting more stable and maybe the pH lockout was caused by that, but in reading about these LED lights and RO water, wish I didn’t lose that article, but it said that pH in soil will be hard to control using RO water, but I may split it up, I am growing experimental plants.
