    How Long Can I Leave Plants Unattended?

    I am pretty in hydro the amount of oxygen availability in water is based off the water temp. So water temp should be around 75F from what I read, but that only applies hydro setups that has roots sitting in water like DWC. I don't know many hydro setups but I ran DWC before water temps matter...

    This is what I been trying to figure out myself but as permanent solution. I run a Flood Table (ebb and flow). I enjoy hydro seems like the more streamline way of growing and imo one way that can be easy automated. All you need to do in hydro - Maintain PPM at target range (for me 947) -...

    Mold growing on bud in jar, any recovery?

    I harvested on the April 30th, air dried for 3 days, and then put the bud into jars. Now last night I saw spots of white spots on the bud while they were inside the jar. (I think I know what happened wrong, not enough air drying and maybe I packed the bud too night into the jars) Now last...

    bubblers, defficient problem

    You use Lucas formula but you have additives, Lucas never said anything about additives. Also Lucas suggest running your PPM at 947. I also run Lucas formula also, but remember the plant is going to kill its own leaves off, my plant is killing a lot of its lower canopy leaves right now (week 5...

    Should I run my ez cloner on a timer?

    You can run the pump however you want it. I seen some people 1 min on 4min off. I run 15mins on, 45mins off, that keeps my water temps 75-78F. Remember how long you run your pump is how long its going to heat up your res.

    [Tent Heat Issues] Help me please, first time grower with a heat issue.

    What are your temps? I also run a grow tent and I am kind of thinking you have way to much power. I also live in an apartment and have a smaller grow tent (4x2), I have a 600w but I can't run it at 600w because it gets so hot, so I run it at 75% power which is 450watts, that way my tent temps...
