Hello, I currently use General Hydroponics via the Lucas Formula for DWC plus superthrive and cal/mag. I have heard great things about house and garden but the line seems to be complex. Does anyone use house and garden for DWC and what do you think? Does anyone have a formular to...

Hello, I run a few DWC buckets and am sick of lifting the lid and disturbing the roots to check the water level. I would like to put a clear hose that comes out of the bottom and runs to the top of the bucket where it just sits. This way I can see the water level in the hose. Anyone have...

I feed the same with the coco. GH Nutes Lucas forumal plus calmag, superthrive and drip clean. I throw some molasses ontop of the coco and wash it in when I water. It sticks in the roots a bit, not sure if it makes a difference.

I also have a coco set up that I top feed with the Lucas formual with GH nutes and it works great. Needing to water everyday gets old thats why I wen with DWC this time. I would be that organic pura vida would work better with the coco than in DWC because you don't have to worry about sediment...

I agree. I think I am going to change over to General Hydroponics which I have had success with in the past. I have tried the organic dwc for 2 weeks now and ended up with these problems that are difficult to handle. 1. pH fluctuated from 5 to 9 and was almost impossible to keep in the 5.5...

Hello I have been growing DWC with General Hydroponics 3 part with no problems. Great growth, taste, yeild and buds. I decided to try Organic DWC using pura vida and so far not so good. I mixed according to package and it burnt the snot out of the plants. I am now at 1/2 strength and they are...

Thanks for the help. I will be vegging in another area so this is only for my flower room .

I'm seeing Lumatek 600watt digital ballast $189. Not bad. $120 for a hood hood and thena bulb.

Do I need dimmable if I never plan to change wattage...

Great help man. Thanks. These lights are for flower only so I only need HPS. Lumatek seem most popular but they are pricey. How do the chinese knock-offs on ebay compare. If I go lumatek I'm seeing like $500 each set up of ballast, aircooled hood, and bulb.

Yeah I am leaning towards HPS. thats what I have used before. Just tough saying no to the potential savings in the long run. For environmental, I like the PAR temp/humid for about $125. they work great.

I didn't realize one ballast could run 2 lights. So is it like a twin 600 ballast kinda thingy majig

The Kessil 150w goes for about $250. I am not sure on the coverage so how many would I want for a 6.5 x 4.5 (29ft2) area. It would be about 1400watt of HID. Just doing the math, If I go with 3 of them, it will run me $750 as opposed to $600 for 2 600W HPS setups. But I save $150 on a blower...
