well i'm only growing 2 plants and it's my first grow. i have an 80% indica and an 80% sativa, and the differences in their feeding preference is drastic, so one res for these two plants probably wouldn't be ideal. i don't plan on growing more than 2 plants at a time in the upcoming future, so...

My plants are at the stage now where I'm adding a gallon of water every other day to the 5 gallon dwc buckets. I'm not sure if I should be adding hydroguard every time I top off? It would make sense for me to, but it could be the hg bacteria is not all absorbed in the water the plant drinks...

Sativas can triple in size during flowering, so you may end up with a pretty large plant. I just switched mine a few weeks ago, it wasn't even yet a foot. But i have height restrictions, as im growing in a tent. Mine was just barely showing sex signs when i flipped it. Good luck to you

Why is it illegal? Something harmful in it? I'm using it and would rather not if it's toxic somehow

That's something I'll definitely consider if I begin seeing issues with the plants. I don't really know what to be looking for, as symptoms of inferior water quality, in the plants. what mainly is filtered out that would be detrimental to the plants health? I was also thinking of getting my...

yeah we buy bags of pellets and add them to the tank. they do get used up, but it lasts awhile. you can feel the change in water hardness when showering when the tank is running low. it's 2am now, i went down to look if the dial changed over to backwash, but its still on conditioned. i'm...

this is where i get the water before it runs to the softener...

Ppm is dropping only slightly, ph is staying stable currently at 5.7. I fed 2ml per liter, will probably up to 2.5ml on Sunday when i change the res. Also, are those little hairs in the center of the top section already a sign the plant is flowering??

Some updated photos. Still yellowing in places, drooping does seem a bit better. The plant with yellowing new leaves is a sativa strain. Any chance it could be a sulfur deficiency? I switched it to 12/12 yesterday, so this is the first day of flowering now.

It's set on "conditioned water" setting. I'm not familiar with the machine or what each setting does. Should it be on the backwash setting?

We have a brine tank with salt pellets, I don't think the water is backwashed, but emptied into the irrigation ditch running on the floor along the walls of our basement. I'll keep an eye on it and see where it's at in a few days. So far it's staying level now. Thanks for the help Not...

Alright that makes sense. So I'd be estimating how much water I want to add to the res, have that estimated amount of water in a container, and then add nutes to it to reach desired ppm to match that of the res. Yeah I really wouldn't think it's evaporation. The water level stayed pretty much...

The roots look great, no odd smells or discoloration, very white and healthy looking, and filling the bucket nicely. Amazing how much root mass there is in only a month. I almost cannot imagine what it will look like by the time I'm ready to harvest! At some point it seems the roots will be...

The ppm has been dropping, but not terribly much. It would go down maybe 10 points or so a day on it's own, a week before this one it was pretty stable...until I added fresh water, which would always lower the ppm, and then the next day that i didn't add water, the ppm drop would be more...

Any ideas about why the ppm and ph are dropping simultaneously?

alright, well thanks guys. I'm going to change the water tomorrow, I think I'll do a plain water flush for 48 hours or so before adding nutes. I'll use unsoftened water. See if that clears it up. But I think they look pretty good so far too, I'm thankful I've gotten this far and they are...

Well I'll definitely use the water from the pipes before it hits the softener when i change the res then. There is a sediment filter after the softener, and no there isn't a way to get it between those points. My only option is straight from the well before it hits the softener and filters...

The fact that the leaves are a dark green, curling, with no yellowing on any other part except the tips makes me think it is nute burn, too much nitrogen. I just don't get how that's possible, given the weak strength nutes I have in there.

It's just odd, it seems like there is both extremes, too much feeding and under feeding. The yellowing tips could be beginning of nitrogen deficiency, the plant may be hungry, but then there are signs of nitrogen toxicity with the clawing leaves and what could possibly be nute burn. i'm stuck...

The sativa is Raspberry Cough from nirvana seeds, the other is Aurora Indica from nirvana. it's possible the burnt tips are genetic, but i'm still seeing what looks like nitrogen toxicity on the indica...that, more than the burnt tips, is making me doubt adding more nutes.
