    DWC water smells

    Nothing organic. It only has one set of true leaves so I'm just using ph'd water.

    DWC water smells

    I keep a 7 gallon water jug filled in my basement. Sometimes it'll sit for a week or so and it does not smell. If it is a problem with my water, wouldn't stagnant water laying around in jugs in my basement smell?

    DWC water smells

    Ok, this is my first dwc experience. My seedling has one set of true leaves so far and I noticed one lone root finally hit the water. It's been about a week since the bean popped. It's in hydroton and I changed the res twice already (3 gallons in a 5gal bucket). I'm just using my tap water...

    When to turn off drip ring?

    I just got the vivosun 4 bucket kit. This system has a drip ring that gets buried in the hydroton. What is the point of this? I assume I use it until the roots find the water. Do I turn it off then? Thanks

    Water: The Most Essential Compound

    I'm a little late to the party here. I have public water (i think?) Suffolk County Water Authority. It ranges an ec of about 130-200 depending on how long it's been sitting out. Is this ok for hydro/soil? Someone told me "that's a lot of calcium", but how do they know the ec of 200 is...

    Fan setup & duration in tent

    Hi all, what does everyone do regarding their fans? How does this setup sound? : i have a 2x4 tent with a vivosun e6 oscillating fan blowing across the canopy. This runs during the 18 hours the lights are on. When the lights turn off I have a small 6" non-ocillating fan blowing towards the...

    Dirty bird genetics and Ethos

    Yeah, seedsman was giving away a five pack of Humboldt's mango sherbet with any purchase. I was up at 10am, had it in my cart, was ready to check out and I lost them. Sold out. Multiverse beans has some HSC specials but all of their three packs are out of stock. NASC might have some $5 humbled...

    Dirty bird genetics and Ethos

    Reddit is a good place to search for breeder reputation. Of Course Take everything with a grain of salt. But if I see an overwhelming majority of posts complaining about herms and shady genetics, I'll stay away. I have heard good things about 2020 Mendocino genetics and Humboldt seed co. I'm...

    Recommendation: Cheap PPFD meter?

    This one works well for me. Pretty close to the photon app results on my pixel and my wife's iphone. I use them to set the distance, not so much to check the strength if that makes sense. Quantum PAR Meter Full-Spectrum High Precision PPFD Tester for Photosynthetic Activity of Indoor and...

    Dirty bird genetics and Ethos

    Dirty bird is run by the owner of north Atlantic seed company. I would trust it but haven't heard of anyone running their stuff. Isn't Ethos the guy with the bad rep. Animal and spouse abuse?

    Brown spots and fabric bag runoff?

    It really comes down to expense. I run a hot pepper business so I have two 4-ft fluorescent fixtures going in one room, a Mars Hydro sp3000 in the auto tent and a viper Spectra xs1500 pro in the photo tent, which I will be adding one more to. The HPS light sounds like the only viable solution...

    Brown spots and fabric bag runoff?

    Appreciate the help here. I like that saran wrap idea! I looked into heating methods (the ac infinity heater looks cool and it works with their controller) but the consensus was to switch to hps lights as mentioned. Since spring is here I'll consider for next winter. Any models hps light...

    DWC Made Easy

    I would be afraid of the seed falling through the hydroton and i to the water..... Why not just place a rapid rooter/oasis cube in the hydroton and just place the seed in that?

    Grow with just hydroton in net cup?

    Oh, not my coco. It's a pellet that expands into loose coco meant for a seed starting tray. It's the only thing I have right now.

    Masterblend 4-18-38

    Oh damn nice, thanks!!! I bought my masterblend trio on amazon. But this is good for when i reorder. I called LI Hydro in Islandia last week. They said they never heard of Masterblend and suggested advanced nutes ‍♂️

    Grow with just hydroton in net cup?

    Yeah i have the jiffy coir plugs. I've been reading that the coir just falls through the clay and dirties the reservoir and clogs the tubing, etc.
