@Son of Hobbes I cannot get in to this post. I am thinking a permissions problem since dropping out of staff. I need to up date it. Would you please see if you can fix it, Thanks.

@BII I will post the newest info there when I can.

You should know better that to water a pot like that?

Haven't even been growing for 2 years so I'm sure I do alot of things wrong. Should I be watering the whole pot even at this point? Haven't messed anything up so far doing it this way but I'm always down to learn! Teach me the ways! I'm always scared to over water the first week..

You got yours from Element Vape? That coupon code has now expired so this is best deal I could find ATM for @WildBill .

Yes sir! Really wanted the clear one but wasn’t paying way more just for that particular color and element was sold out on that one!

Here is my canned speech:

What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and the roots and microbes will die there. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. Slowly wet ALL of the soil until run-off begins. There is an art to watering. Make sure there is an air gap under your pot, you do not want runoff to be reabsorbed and if no air then anaerobic microbes can grow. This is a cause of root rot. Coco can be fertigate many times a day if you want to continually present fresh balanced nutrients to the roots. Begin fertigation 2 hours after lights on and end it 2 hours before lights out.

@Frankthetank Remember it is the microbes and soil permeability you are watering not just the plant.

What kind of ride we talking about.

If you were messing with cleaning the intake and now its spitting and sputtering above 2k, try disconnecting the Mass Airflow Sensor. This will cause it to throw a code and it will force the ECU to switch over to using mapped inputs for air flow based on rpms and temperature rather than using the data from the sensor.

If this fixes it, clean your MAF. If that doesn't work, replace it.

Ya i gonna back it out the garage here soon and see if i notice anything! Definitely figured it was something like a sensor somewhere because most issues it wouldn’t matter if it was in gear or just revving in park it would do it constantly if say was a plug misfiring or something!
