Hydroponics / Aeroponics PH up/down options with rdwc? Pretty much just the title. I used the GH ph up/down this grow and they were great for most of the grow, but during the last few weeks of flower ive had to use a LOT of up. Im getting a little more drift down now than I was for veg and early flower. itll drop 0.3-0.4 over 3-4 days, but it takes like 40-50ml of the GH ph up to bring it from 5.6-5.7 to 6.0+ Is there something more concentrated I can use or should I just buy bigger bottles and get used to using this much every few days? more info...

Hydroponics / Aeroponics Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks! Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet. I'll take you through my process from start to harvest. What is different about my system vs. others? 1) 3 separate Aero/NFT flower systems allow me to run a 9 week flower cycle. This allows the buds to fully ripen and also allows me to run strains with more Sativa in them. 2) I... Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks! more info...

Hydroponics / Aeroponics PH rise, EC rise, less water usage Hi guys, I'm in the week 3 of flowering and I need some advice. A few days ago I noticed that my plants started to use less water per day (10% less). This was followed by slightly raised EC by 0,03EC. It was a bit confusing bcs I lowered the humidity and room temperature a day before (from 27 to 26 celsium, from 56 do 50 humidity) - I was expecting the plants will start to use more water bcs of the lowered humidity. From this point the EC was constantly rising, so I diluted the water in the... PH rise, EC rise, less water usage more info...

Hydroponics / Aeroponics Help with Uniseals Hello, I am installing an RDWC system using 2" Uniseals, 2" PVC, and 27L HDX totes. I cut my holes in the totes using a 3" hole drill bit, but when I place the Uniseal inside the hole, it pops in fairly easily and is not very tight. Even when I insert the 2" PVC pipe into the Uniseal, it just slides right in with no reluctance. What am I missing/doing wrong?? All the videos on youtube show people struggling to get the PVC into the Uniseal, but mine slides in like butter. Appreciate the... Help with Uniseals more info...

Hydroponics / Aeroponics How to get an extra gallon and more root space in a 5 gal bucket system When I built my RDWC I wanted to easily be able to control the water level. I'd like the water touching the hydroton until the roots start to show, then have the water level an inch or two below the pot after the roots start to come out. I got this idea from a bucket grow. I was thinking other people could use this also to add water to their existing system. So with this you can raise the net pots up and add a gallon to the bucket and still have the water level where you want it. Just cut...
