See what they have at the hydro shop, its important that its already washed and hopefully buffered. Otherwise you have to rinse and check ec then soak it in nutrients for a week. A lot of the loose bagged stuff is but some isn't. Canna brand bricks are probably the cheapest and everyone swears by the bag stuff. The kind I have isn't buffered and it causes problems until it stabilises.

Happy frog has nutrients in it. Ive ran the fox farm original soil before and it was like promix. I liked it till i got a bag full of bugs. Ever since then it's been promix. The local hydro store probably has promix...the coco i have is the canna bricks and are a pain to break up to fill pots...

Ya but ive got my final yield numbers on the led and it sucks. In a tray like that i shoulda been close to 2p if not over under a 1k. With the led i was at 9z, 3g.

i go by the cost to operate...2 800's and a 400 Bigeye...equals the power usage of a 1k HPS so thats how i compare...and you can add the cooling savings also from LED...so for you to compare 1K at 1000 watts of elec to an 8 eye 800 LED which takes 430 watts to operate....to me is illogical..DJXX

But with how many lights you run to get 1k of energy useage are you pulling more than you would with a 1k? For me to equal what i would pull with a 1k i would need at least 3 of the big eye 8s at 500$ a piece and running 1200 watts to me its not cost effective in my situation.especially when the yield doesnt meet my standard imo.
