mr pinworm please could you give me some advice. i have grown before but never in RDWC. i fucked up my plants by letting them get root rot before i got them into the rdwc system. cut a long story short i cut the roots, didnt help so ive just ripped them out and threw them in the bin. i have cleaned out the entire room and system and am getting 24 cheese cutting on wednesday to start again. i read what you said about the lucas formua and am hoping to get it right...... the nutrients i have are as follows.
gh mirco
gh grow
gh bloom
advanced nutrent revive
cal mag
bio silica
hydozme
my question is to you sir hahaha. what you recomend doing with this mix up?
i do have a tri metre messured in EC. 6 x 600 watt duel spec lamps. each 600 is covering a 1mx1m area and i plan on scroging 4 plants in each square metre area.
your advice would really help me out coz i read so much and i just need all the infomation putting right.
thanks pinworm

First off, boss, I would ditch the hygrozyme. It's for "bennys" (beneficial bacteria) and will be worthless when used with Lucas' "Formula".
It's always nice to have some CaMg+ (but won't be necessary if you follow the 0-8-16 system) Keep using the silica. Good for keeping the pH steady (+ big thick stems)
My advice is as follows - Keep using your tri-meter, and keep your pH @ 5.9 - I like to pH every batch change and am looking to keep her at about 5.4ish and let it "scale" through the week to about 6.3ish. Different elements are absorbed at different points in the pH range. If that makes sense. So, letting the bucket scale can be a good thing. Keep your TDS at about 1300 tops during flower. I like to change my res at least once a week/every 10 days-ish....For 600w, I would suggest at least a 20 gallon res. Keep your res temps as low as possible. The lower the temps, the more Dissolved Oxygen is available for the roots to intake. Cannot stress this enough. If your root zone's temps are higher than 70F, ditch DWC and get into an Ebb and Flow setup. Ebb and Flow is MUCH more forgiving with higher temps. I would also suggest keeping your bubbles @ 1 watt per gallon of resevoir. So like a 20 gallon res for your 600w lamp will be perfect with about 20 watts of airpump/stones. It seems a litle agressive, but, the whole point of hydro is to get the max amount of Oxygen to the roots. RDWC can support life up to 80F with enough bubbles....but, anywhoozle..... About all I can offer unless you
re looking for specifics...which I would be totally down to hook you up with if you would just shoot me a PM....Hope his helps a bit. Good luck in your ventures, brother.....

hey pinworm,
what is the deal with hygrozyme? it is an enzyme that eats the dead stuff so it don't turn to rot.
I have used it in my DWC and it does do something. I ran out and the water got cloudy.
I picked up some pondzyme it is much cheaper and smells like barley.

It's basically a mixture of enzymes. I'm not sure about what sort exactly, it's hard to get more specific then a generic descriptions of what enzymes are and how they could be used in this context. Enzymes are proteins that act as a chemical catalyst. An example is how proteases helps our digestive system break down proteins. The manufacture claims that their enzymes act as a catalyst for certain unwanted organic matter (dead roots, etc.). A quick search of the forum will reveal that some users have had problems with enzyme products being associated with things like root rot. Other users claim fantastic results. Pondzyme is another popular one.
This has some great info on all those types of stuffs:

Every opinion is the same on that thread, just some have a "the" and others do not
Hygrozyme is the shit
Hygrozyme is shit
see the difference?

So many diffy ways to hydro, and they all work:
Try to avoid mixing and matching advice from too many different cooks in the kitchen.. They all make good soup, when they work alone.. that is to say, every system is a complete self contained set of variables.. and there are as many ways to reach the goal of making soup, as there are cooks..

Ah, Pinny. Always speaking in the 3rd person. Give yourself a capital 'G', for pin's sake....
