Are you just saying that you put an airstone into your DWC system that was cleaned with H202? As long as you didn't dump any into the reservoir you should be fine.

Tap water is fine in my experience but I have a well, not city water. They say you should let it sit out for a day or two so the chlorine will evaporate if that is what you have available. RO is best. Any mycorrhizae should work but I have only ever used Great White. The most important part of...

You are going to get root rot (cyanobacteria) in your res unless you use beneficial bacteria to eat it up. Just trust me on this one. Hydrogen peroxide is old school. It's bad for your rootzone in the same way it's bad to use it as mouthwash. It kills EVERYTHING including beneficial microbes...

Just grow in a greenhouse. One that's strong and has a lock on the door. It solves all of your problems. Put a carbon filter over the exhaust fans and remove the smell entirely. Other than that, use deer fencing. It's cheap and it works. Just staple to the trees, no posts needed.

I have never used store bought tea in hydro because they usually have organic plant food in them. I would worry about the kelp meal. But it's worth a try. The homemade tea is very cheap to make so I never bothered. It is also very handy for starting seeds.

In my experience it is more important to strip the lower branches and foliage early. I would do it immediately. I snip them as soon as buds start to form (week 3 or so). This will help airflow and let the plants put their energy towards making big top buds. Other than that there are SOG growers...

Just switch to Advanced Nutrients or some other brand. GH is way too salty for aero, IMO.

Light is getting in. Make sure you use opaque plastic.

I agree, don't do it. Just use the simplest nutrients you can, like AN or GH three part. You don't want anything that can clog your spray nozzles. I have had problems with enzymes causing slime. I recommend compost tea for hydro (beneficial microbes), they keep roots nice and white.

I've done a lot of DWC and agree with most of the comments. A three part nutrient (or two part if you use Lucas) is all you need. However one additive that I prefer not to live without is compost tea, the kind formulated by Heisenberg on this site. I have never had slime since I started using...

Also since nobody said it, never open the door for the police. Lock the door and wait for them to leave.

Oh sure if you have some property why not? But for him, surrounded by neighbors, bad idea.

I just read this entire thread and the only person who gave the right advice was Johnny Vapor. If you live in a suburb, growing a plant on your porch is just a terrible idea. Would you lay a stack of $100 bills out on your deck? Because that's what a thief sees in your plant. This isn't a tomato...

VG and cannabis oil will separate over time. Skunk Farms has to use a homogenization process to get the VG and BHO to stick together. For people who are allergic or just don't care for PG I would recommend PEG 400 as it blends really well with cannabis oil and stays mixed for a long time. I like...

You can do either or but you don't need both. I have recently omitted the air stone and only use a drip line to create my bubbles. Just make sure your plants are getting oxygen. Fish aquariums are primarily aerated by a water pump waterfall. Bubblers just add a little bit more.
