White powder in grow tent
KikiMinnekannabisstarted grow question 5 months ago
We found white powder on the fans and carbon exhaust but not on the girls. Found out it was from using our hard tap water in the humidifier. Has anyone used the humidifier capsules to reduce the minerals in tap water or do we go back to buying distilled water? Thx!

You can't use tap water in a humidifier if it's hard water. You'll clog up your carbon filters and make a dusty mess all over the place. Only RO, or distilled water can be used.

I try to use only rain water (EC 0S) or water from the laundry dryer condenser on my humidifier (it makes bubbles sometimes).
This reduces mineral deposits on the plants and the box, and also maintenance of the device's membrane.

What is shelf life of silver thiosulfate ("STS") in practice?I know it is recommended to use within 30days of mixing final solution.
However, what "works" can often be different from the recommendations. Has anyone used an STS solution they made after 2months? 6 months? How did it go?Other. General questions

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Am I on a harvest window?Am i on a harvest window?
77 days old autoflower, up to this point is personal taste or still there ways to go?
I majorly see milky and a few ambers trichomes, correct?
Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?

Contest curiosityFor those who have experience in contests:
How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl
