    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    are you running an rdwc or dwc ? if your running an rdwc then if ur roots get out of hand they will clog up your return lines and cause flooding lol. anyway u can always do some minor root trimming if its gotten out of hand already :)

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    I have done a few rounds in RDWC and i gotta say i love the ease of growing in it vs soil, im talking about the day to day part of things. Few examples, I dont have to water every 2 to 3 days, I change water for a 32 site grow setup once every 7 days and it takes me no more then an hour and...

    Is this salt build up or fungus/mold on clay pebbles?

    weird thing is that i took some of the clay pebbles with that white stuff on it and dropped them into a cup of 35% h2o2 and basically nothing happened. some of the white stuff came lose and floated on the top of the h2o2, I have seen how h2o2 reacts with organic matter and this didnt even fizzle...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    I would think that hydro would have a bigger upfront cost vs soil? what am i missing? soil is just pots and trays but hydro its buckets pipes pumps chillers and so on. If you look at current culture systems, they sell everything from closet grower to commercial , I started with hydro and enjoy it.

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    Thank you all for chiming in. So what i gather is that hydro is overall faster but not necessarily better. So i guess if someone was to do this as a business , say 10,000 sqf of growing space , what should they go with , hydro or soil? since a bunch of places are making it legal to grow i would...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    what i really want to understand is this. Why does hydro even exist? there must be a reason ( hopefully) that makes hydro better than soil in enough ways to warrant all the hassle of hydro. Don't get me wrong i do nothing but hydro but I have friends pulling 2.5. to 2.8lb per light with soil so...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    so in hydro it doesnt taste or smoke good vs soil? i dont see how thats really possible if u compare same feed in soil&hydro.

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    I got into DWC while back and kinda dont remember anymore why i chose this over soil. I am looking for concrete reasons to why someone would go with RDWC vs soil. I know veg times are shorter but i got a bunch of friends who dont even veg, meaning they buy junior clones and flip to flower a...

    Proper southern ag friendly fungicide usage

    I was told by a bunch of the guys that already replied here to use southern AG and i would 100% agree its the best thing ever. I had brown root rot growing on my outdoor rdwc and after using it, all cleared up. I would also say go with 1ml per 10 gallons or if u got an issue u can bump it up to...

    I made a video of how to setup an 8 bucket RDWC in a 4x8 tent

    I think the waterfall method is more of a hobby home grow setup, but if u go big, say anything over 8 bucket setup , the waterfall method might become an issue. As i mentioned, im getting ready to do a 48 bucket 8 light setup and i am trying to reduce as many points of plumbing as possible.
