Me and a buddy run almost identical systems. The only dif is he uses tap water, and pays way less attention to his grow. And he gets better results with less problems. Think I should dump the ro water? I'm in LA and the water is around 200 ppm. I'm also switching from Dwc to readygro aeration...

What's up everybody. I'm getting myself out of a year long Dwc nightmare. I'm done constantly battling micro organisms that love to munch on roots. Yes I did the Heisenberg tea. It did help me rid my plants of root slime, but only during the winter. Once air temps went up the tea wouldn't...

So my fill pump works without a hitch. Timer comes on, pump fills buckets. But when the timer turns off and the buckets should be emptying back to the res, the pump gets air locked. 1 out of maybe 6 times the pump Will retune like its supposed to, but the other 5 times ill go check the...

I'm just tryi. To figure out why it's recommended to flood ebb and grow buckets only 3 to 4 times during the light cycle? I guess that's pretty often in flower but in veg it's not at all. Why would it be a problem to flood every couple hours in hydroton or lava rocks? Seems like it would just...

My ph shoots up after I flood. It took a dozen floods for it to finally balance out and stop spiking. Is this pretty standard when using lava rocks in an ebb and grow bucket system?

I'm now doing a ebb n grow to see if I can avoid the slime and stay sterile. Are the ppm levels in an ebb n grow similar to dwc? I never go over 650 in dwc. Just looking for a guideline. Thanks y'all

So I'm in dwc. I've been using 1 cup per gallon of Heisenberg tea. And re upping every 2 or 3 days with a cup more. I run 2.5 gallons per bucket. I washed the build up off the roots and cleaned all and re did new water with tea, 1:1 ratio, as usual. The build up was back the next day. The build...

I'm using 3ml per gal of 29% h202. I don't really see any fizzing. Should I add more peroxide?

Over 24 hours I started to notice a growth in my roots that looks like rust. I use gh 3 part and heis tea. Anybody dealt with this one?

Hi guys. I've been doing dwc but thinking about switching to ebb and grow. I've heard it has less problems then dwc. Does that seem to be the case? How many buckets per light and buckets per system to you think works best? Thinking of vegging for 4 weeks from rooted clone. Any tips for using...

I have 12 buckets connected with 1/2 inch tubing and a control Rez. I'm wondering if I can just clean my buckets with dish soap (scrubbing each individually in the sink) or if I should dip my buckets and tubing in bleach? or what? How do you guys clean your systems? What about your air stones...

I'm about to disinfect my plants cuz of slime. The doses on the physan 20 bottle range from 1 tsp per gal to 2T per gal. I've also heard to just use a tiny bit of this stuff so I'm confused. Also how long should I drench the roots for this to be effective? Thanks in advance

hey guys. im building out a new set up. copying the uc system pretty much, just using 5 gallon buckets with 1.5inch pvc. using uniseals i cant decide where to place the the tubes... obviously below the fill line. if its too low a leak can fuck me. would you guys agree to place the pvc so...

i just wanted to post a few pics of how huge my girls have gotten. enjoy

how do you guys do your add backs? ive been adding back high ppm nutes to raise my ppm in the system. i started out at 500ppm last week, it dropped to 420 or so, then i added back up to 550. they got down in the 400s again so i added back to 600. (to do this i added back 800ppm nutes, 50 gallons...

do you guys use cal mg all the way thru veg and flower? do you use it at full strength the entire time? just curious since the micro is pretty stacked in the gh flora line. i use ro water so i dont think i want to drop it completely. im thinking about going half strength tho. just started week 2...

i cant understand how an oil will just go bad from sitting in water over 24 hours. how does this make the oil less effective on spider mites?

i kinda found this out by accident. i was using sm 90 originally to add to my rez to prevent nasties growing in my dwc. but i switched to dm zone because of the application rate. ive been sitting on the sm 90 for a few months and just used it to rid myself of spider mites, very effectively i...

just trying to get an average yield for dwc systems. if you'd like to participate please list a few simple things: - what dwc system you run, bubble, rdwc, undercurrent whatever. if youve tweeked anything let us know - veg time. after clones have rooted and entered buckets till you flip the...

hey guys/gals. i finally got my system dialed in. i run gh 3 part with gh cal mg. im at around 500ppm, started at 300. i run the 3 part about 1/4 strength and run cal mg at full strength. its been just under 3 weeks since i fixed my issues. the first 4 weeks the plants hardly survived.
