@HarbingerOfHarvests , I use 600w HID (HpS, mh) and a small LED for spectrum. Light meter just gives me an idea what the canopy is getting.

Anything free, probably won't work.
Best option is to buy an actual lux meter, instead of using your phone. They're like 30$ or something, so won't make you starve.

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?3y ago

Coco and Worm Castings - Does Total Dissolved Solids Matter?Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY5y ago

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.6y ago
