I do feel over the last year or so there are less defoliators than before, maybe some have tried it and realized it is not what it is cracked up to be. Defoliation topics usually were at least 50/50 "You guys have to start learning that buds, even lower ones. Do not require direct light to...

Thanks Wattzup, interesting thread but I am thinking more indoor grow. It seems like it would be a simple exercise to take a few clones and try a different defoliation technique on each but I still can't find a side by side (indoor) which has a happy ending ie: conclusive proof. Then again as...

I have been continuously growing for around 5 years now. First few grows I didn't really defoliate and things went OK. I then started to defoliate every grow. My grows haven't improved as much as I would have liked taking my 5 years experience into consideration. I occasionally get 1grm per...

I have a PH pen dilemma. Pen 1: Brand new Aphera PH 20 calibrated and reading 7 and 4 in solution. Pen2: Adwa AD12 calibrated and reading 7 and 4 in solution. As soon as I put them in nutrient solution Aphera reads 6.1 and Adwa reads 5.8. Different nutrient solution Apera 5.6 Adwa 5.4. Tap...

I have some vegging under Dual spectrum HPS and the same clones vegging under the new Mars LED (with heater) and to be truthful the ones under the Mars often look tired as the day goes on but the ones under the HPS are always praying and happy. Maybe the Mars are to harsh.

Very similar temps to mine Corso, it looks like I may have some time to go. Mine are unfortunately a mixed strain, some have grown close to the lights and others not so much.

Will try and sort some of both rooms.

I am having problems with lowish temperatures. 60 night and 68-70 lights on. The plants look healthy 8.5 weeks into flower but look about 6.5 - 7 weeks (50/50 Indica Sativa strain). I have the same strain same age in a smaller room which sit at around 74 day and night and they are far fatter...

I had Micro bubble airstones in each bucket (no waterfall) and still had problems, but as mentioned I am a RDWC failure so am not really in a position to give constructive advice.

I think you are going to get many problems with the system you have built mate, sorry to piss on your parade. Feed from the top and put bigger pipes on the bottom. The way you have it you are asking for a flood and it simply won't recirculate properly. The whole point of a waterfall from the...

Yes mate I did, it was a cut down bodge job from my old RDWC setup. Loving the Flood & Drain wish I had done it years ago ans saved myself a load of money, heartache and time.

Best of luck to you my friend. Some people can get away with it some can't. I spent a fortune did 3 grows and ditched the full system. I now do modular flood and drain. I just couldn't do it! Roots blocking the pipes (2 inch) then the dreaded root rot, PH all over the place and loads of...

DON'T DO IT :rolleyes::D

If things don't look as they should check the basics first. Nutrient temperature, PH, EC. Check and calibrate your equipment regularly. KEEP IT SIMPLE for your first few grows BASE NUTRIENTS ARE ALL YOU NEED. Get inside of your room/tent when lights are off to check for light leaks. Above...

Thanks, did do mate and he sent me some great extra freebies. They are now a week or so before flip and looking good.

what nutrients are you using? Botanicare Kind-Tea-Silica Is your reservoir well aerated w/ air stones and/or waterfalls Waterfall 200 litre res How low are your temps? Apparently too low during lights off can invite mold (which could be the black stuff) Mmm quite low as low as low as 14/57 on...

This root rot really is a bugger. I have brand new system (modular flood and drain) and my roots are black, no slime. I don't understand it I have kept my temps very low below 65f/18c. Flooded every 2 hours lights on and once during lights off. Roots were pure white before they went into the...

Last bump

C'mon lads someone must have one.

I have some black roots in flood and drain. Res temps are 18 and feeding every 2 hours 5 weeks in flower. No light leaks into pots. I have had root rot before in a different system and it was nothing like this. Plants are fine showing no signs of deficiency or droop., No smell, no slime...
