one part vermiculite, one part compost, two parts loam or topsoil, three parts coarse perlite, and three parts filler (decayed bark, shredded coconut fiber, peat moss, or any combination).

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500k
Is there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

I’ve got hermies!?!
It’s the 3rd week of flower and I’ve seen multiple pollen sacks on both plants. They are the only two plants in the tent and this is personal smoke. Being 70 days in do I remove the sacs hope for the best or chop and start over? The seeds were bag seeds from the dispensary.

9 days of flushing in hydro (clay pebbles), is it enough ? Thx
6 or 7 days of flushing at 0.3 EC and leaves are still not yellowing. I fed them almost all run at 1.15 including 0.4 nutes from tap water which seems quite weak to me but they wouldn't eat more. I've been told from 4 to 15 days for a good flush in hydro. What's your experience ?

Works?
Does flushing really do anything? 48h dark? Any technique does any difference? If they do please indicate some trustworthy sources, i can't find any experiment with the same strain same light and soil and different methods applied.

Hermies?
These two plants got hardly any frost are way behind the others and buds and leaves look different to all the others... anything I need to worry about are they just slower and different phenotype ? Or could it be a hermie ? I don’t know what to do with them 🤷♂️

Brownish algae like things floating in fresh 2 days old water
Hi guys. Since day one of my current grow I have issues with water. 2 days after cleaning 2 reservoirs (only with water and a sponge) I see this brownish algae like things floating around and this happens for the third time in a row in the last 2-3 weeks. How to get rid of them?

I am new to indoor Co2 use. Have new pressure gauge with flow meter and solenoid. When the tank runs out, the solenoid stays open, causing it to get very hot. Is this normal? I'm afraid if I left for a few days, it could catch fire.

When to Post?
When a new week starts, I usually put a pic up and get enviro/feeding info up, but generally no much. Does GD only bump active journals to recent list when a week is started or is it every update? Should I wait till the end for the week to publish for best web experience?
