150w HPS Club and Resource Guide......
- Thread starter Pipedream
- Start date
Hey Mr. Mcpot, obviously I'm not Pipedream but maybe my crotchety-ass distracted the thread. Sorry bout that. Cool CFLs work especially well in veg. Cool and/or warm CFLs in flower will add lumens and increase yield. The 150 will also do a pretty damn good job by itself.
LoL ,, I love this place..+K bro!

Yep, as long as it's 12 ga wire. A replacement plug or receptacle will be needed because cutting and splicing is dangerous. A plug/receptacle is about $5 at the hardware store.
While yer at it, pick up a plug and a receptacle. You can make two 12' cords.

Hey all,
I was wondering about the GH 3-part series. So you use GH Micro along with either the Gro or Bloom right? It says 5ml per gallon.. Does that mean 5ml/gal total, or 5ml of both, the Micro and the Gro? Thanks for the help. I'll post some pics later tonight.

PS- Tasty lookin' buds there roughnice.. mmm

GH Flora - 3 part
GH Flora Nova - 1 part (see below)
GH Flora 3 part:
The GH Chart recommends all three in all phases of growth. The ratios change depending on growth stage. 5ml is almost a teaspoon so that's what I use to mix with. Flora Micro must be mixed in clean water before adding the other parts. Otherwise your solution will get all ferted up hehe.
Veg Stage - 3 tsp Flora Grow, 2 tsp Flora Micro, 1 tsp Flora Bloom per gal
Flower Stage - 1 tsp Flora Grow, 2 tsp Flora Micro, 3 tsp Flora Bloom per gal
(might be a good idea to use at half strength and work from there)
Have you heard of Lucas/Lucas formula? Lucas says GH Flora Grow isn't needed. You can use the same mix for the entire grow - 1 tsp Flora Micro, 2 tsp Flora Bloom per gal. Instead of buying the bottle of Flora Grow, just get 2 bottles of Flora Bloom. You'll use it twice as fast as Flora Micro if you go Lucas.
EDIT: If you're using 600 watts of HID light or higher, it's 8ml Flora Micro, 16ml Flora Bloom per gal.
Depending on your water pH, you may need pH up because Flora Micro sends it to hell quick.
Have you considered GH Flora Nova? Only 1 part for veg, one part for flower. Doesn't get any easier than that. In fact, it's formulated after ol Lucas himself. It's very important to shake the chit outta this stuff because it's very thick. A pain in the ass sometimes but well worth the trouble. Flora Nova is supposed to be pH buffered better than Flora.
