Still going strong…a couple of lessons learned with these plants. – I have been mixing my base nutrient much weaker and using the CalMg to bring the EC up to desired level. These plants seem to start have BER problems at anything above 2.0 EC. – These things love foliar spray. The more I spray [...]
Here is the Maximum Yield Link about Hydroponic Root Veggies Ragnar be sure to read about the Sweet Potatoes having edible roots and leaves 
How about with continuous light? Sorry for the i-phone pics. Pro Photo-man Chuckie D wasn’t around when I took them. There are two reasons this post is week 6.5 First, [...]
I’m so excited about this grow I could hardly sleep last night! Every day the plants just look better and better not to mention the fact that flowers are opening all over the place and we already have a couple baby tomatoes on the vine. Last time I tried to grow these things it took [...]
The growth rate of the plants has definitely increased since raising the humidity in the tent and the rolling of the leaves has improved even further (although not completely solved). The plants are still abandoning limbs a little earlier than I would like to see. We are figuring by Monday the plants will be large [...]

So we set out to complete our Roma tomato setup with a scrog screen and some bases to put the powergrowers on. We figured this would be the last change to take the plants out of the tent to do a good nutrient flush so we did that two. I am really happy with the [...]
The Romas are growing fast (almost doubled in size the first week) but initially struggled a bit from transplant shock. I am hoping the plants will grow out of their tendency to “roll” their leaves up a couple days after growing them. This condition is known as “Tomato Physiological Leaf Roll” and current research says [...]
So here are the specs for the grow. One 47″X47″ Growlab. Two Roma tomato plants. Two General Hydroponics Power Growers. Couple of Axial fans. One oscillating fan. Subculture -M, GH Floramato 1.2 EC & pH 6.2, Flora-blend being used as foliar spray. Photoperiod 16L 8D. Irrigation 30 minutes on 1 Hour off during the light [...]
For a while now I have been saying the UHGU had some big things up our sleeves. Finally, the time has come to unveil one of them. Over the past six months or so, we have been contacted by several LED light manufactures and retailers about endorsing or selling specific LED lights. Our response has [...]
