Hey everyone new grower here and I’m experimenting with hydroponics spilt because of space and well I nerd
Out on over engineered set ups. Anyway.
My set up is a RDWC
3 2 gal buckets (2 for DWC 1 for res )
100 GPH pump
6 inch baskets
Hydroton
600w MARS HYDRO led
2x2x4
in-line fan and some 6 inch clippers

I’ll be using general hydroponics
Flora micro grow and bloom
Maybe additives once I get to that stage with recommendations from the group

right now i am mixing 6 gallons using 1/2 strength dosages and my water is 5.8 ph at 68 degrees

I received Rooted clones and transferred them to the baskets, and put them in the water.

now they are looking decent.

but not the best any input would be great.

Your soup seems too hot. Cut back on the nutes a little. You can see that the smaller new leaves are finding the strength hard to handle. I don't think it's a good idea to have the res directly in the tent either. Is that air intake passive? I see no other ducting. Nice clones though.

Could be an iron or sulphur issue or could be the lights just too close.
You could also do with raising the air temp at least 5 degrees

by soup you mean route souloiton ?? if so i flushed the entire system and put in 6.8 ph water no nutes to try and get them back to homeostasis

next refill ill start my feeding schedule maybe the shock from transplant and nate turn made the rough

how come no res in tent. un fortunately with the space i have this is the only solution.
water temp is 75-76.

the filter pulls from the room the tent has side vents open.

turned fan down a bit and getting temps to about 80

the lights are about 22 inches from the "canopy"

Probably lift that light a little, LED power is so weird because we can't feel any heat we assume they are not powerful but they are. As above feed touch less. Depends on your climate but res temps may become an issue in summer. Less of a worry with LED but flower rooms running 25c+ you will get root rot. Hailea HC100 cooler keeps my 100LTR res at 19/20c peak summer if outside the tent with a fresh air feed. It's worth the investment although not cheap. Runs about 150W from memory nothing too drastic but isn't overly quiet.

roger that. the tent is in my den keep the house at 68 year round. tent temps should be really easy to manipulate.

ill move the light up to 26 inches

10/4 on ph

dropped water to 73

i am cooling with rigged pc ran and small automotive radiator ( oil cooler)

I’m a big fan of GH 3-part.
My grow friend uses it in water that is 200-300 ppm from the tap.
The other additives are CaliMagic and a silica source.
Oh em gee her smoke is good.

Completed - CBD Crack in Drip/RDWC

Since the inspiration and motivation for this grow (my first indoor in over 20 years) came from the simplicity of TaNg's now legendary schedule, I thought it would only be right to share the grow here. Those of you familiar with TaNg's schedule know that I'll be using AN nutes. I've tweaked the...

Still no nutes ph is 6.5 - 6.2

72.8 tent temp
48-50% hum
Purchased some cal mag today
Have not added anything back into the system yet

PH needs to be 5.6-6.2. Your clones need nutes, go with 10 percent strength to start. Your rez temp is too warm, needs to be below 68F at least so that it can hold oxygen which they really need looking at them. You need to find a solution to have the rez outside of the tent otherwise it's gunna be a PITA with little to no results. Also, your water source needs to be looked at. Direct out of the tap could mean hard or soft water. Osmosis would be best. Your air exchange is also too weak. Sorry to sound harsh but this is how it is.

Dont change anything at this stage its just transplant shock , see how they look in 10 days.

Plants need time to adjust. changing anything will hamper that.

Well things took a turn for the best I added an air bubbler to the feed line so now there is more aeration got a ph meter now water is on point.

system runs a tad warm but everything seems to be ok.

I decided to get another tent to flower In so this will be my veg / cloner tent

Thanks for all the tips took a little from everyone and it worked! image.jpg
