    First time grower DWC High Temps need some advise!

    Yes you will need to run a separate exhaust just for the cool tube. Have 1 Fresh air tube into your new cool tube then exhaust fan on the other end. That way it removes the heat from the bulb before it gets to your plants. Now you have bugs also? Yikes, it is best if you can determine what type...

    First time grower DWC High Temps need some advise!

    Gbauto is right you must get your tent temps below 80F. Your res temps over 75F? Best inexpensive chiller design that I made? I use my ro system. I split off a 1/4" line and coil up 20ft of line drop it in the reservoir and run it to a drain. It gets so cold, 56F, that I control it with the...

    Thanks guys for all the advice. I will go back to the original large baskets and start using a hydrogaurd type product. I should use other people's experience more often.

    Ebb n flow basket size

    I have been trying the beneficial bacteria route but have not had great yields. I think the "hydrogaurd" is a good idea. Now back to the original post. Basket size. Should I go back to the full 3 gallon mesh baskets with more hydroton? This would allow the roots to spread out more? It sounds...

    Ebb n flow basket size

    I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX THE BROWN ROOT PROBLEM! That's why I am here asking questions. The whole system seems shitty. Been modifying it since I got it. Should I just switch to the smaller 6 inch baskets and let the roots hang in the air? Nutrient temps are perfect 65-72°F controlled. Also have...

    Ebb n flow basket size

    Yes System was purchased, 12 site "Flo n gro" ebb and flow system. It comes with 4 gallon buckets and 3 gallon mesh inserts. The roots are almost completely in the hydroton(my medium).

    Ebb n flow basket size

    I have a 12 site ebb n flow set up with square 4 gallon buckets and square 3 gallon mesh inserts. I'm using hydroton as a medium, and an air stone in each bucket that I run when the buckets are flooded. My roots look crappy brown, so I am considering using smaller mesh baskets, 4 or 6 inch...

    leaves cupped?

    I have my small 5x5 grow with 5 plants. 1 of which has the top leaves cupping. Im not sure if it is from being to close to the light. It does not feel to warm to the hand and others near it are not affected? I am using bag mix soil with food in it. Again none of the other plants are affected...

    Changing light time at end of flower

    Okay I'm a newbie. Someone suggested to me to lengthen the light cycle at the end of the flowering period. Would this help fatten up the flowers if u change back to 18-6the or more for the last 2 weeks to finish while flushing? I hope this isn't a stupid question but you have to start somewhere?
