Nute issues DWC

Hiya Having some issues with my grow, it just keeps throwing curved balls at me. Basically - i had what looked like nitrogen toxicity. So she had a 2.5 flush in just pHd water, she looked pretty bad towards the end of that. Ppm stayed the same, i thought it might rise as she puked out the excess N. About 6 hours ago she got a new tank with 450ppm of AH Bloom (0-5-5) specially chose that as it had no N. 450 seemed like a reasonable strength feed after a flush. And now, in 6 hours pH 5.9 risen...

How much water in a dwc?

I've read and heard others say just enough for the roots to touch. I'm using 5 gallon buckets with about 3 gallons of water. I change the water weekly and when I do I notice my plants damn near drink it all leaving hardly in the buckets. I'm on week two of flowering and used this amount the whole time. I'm just worried about getting root rot. As of now my roots are massive and white and doing fine. So should I lower the level of water and change more often or leave it alone?

Fill cloner with pH5.8 water and wait for the magic to happen Think it'll work???

Is it Possible to Start Seeds in an Aero Cloner?

Wondering if anyone has tried to start seeds using an aero cloner - no dirt/perlite/rockwool used. My thoughts are... 1. Start the seeds in a paper towel 2. Once the seeds crack & have the little white tap root showing gently place them low in a neoprene disk & in the cloner 3.

Low Pressure Aero build...it has begun!

Sup everyone, welcome to thread that will contain the journey of this LPA build and setup and prob its inaugural run. Ive been wanting to try aero or rdwc for a bit, i figure a nice winter project isnt such a bad idea. The plan: i will run 4 totes(1 plant per) off a 40g res, feeding a manifold thats connected to all tote sprayers. Runoff will be drained out the bottom and back into the res. Materials : 4 x 27gallon Rectangular totes, 29"x20"x15" 1 x 40 gallon low rise reservoir 1 x 800... Low Pressure Aero build...it has begun!

CANNA GROW GUIDE QUESTIONS

I understand how to fill in and use the guides..but when should I ~ if at all change from "LIGHT FEEDING CHART" to the "MEDIUM FEED CHART". . and then finally from medium to "HEAVY FEED CHART"...???

Also CANNAS PK 13/14 ... Does anyone know... CANNA GROW GUIDE QUESTIONS February 03, 2020 at 10:07PM Read more about this fix

Best way to Veg prior to flowering in RDWC

Currently am vegging just in rockwoool cubes and hydroton in essentially litter boxes. 5 plants to one. Vegging for like 6 weeks. then moving to RDWC. I feel like I could be doing a better veg system. i’ve seen others after a 5 week veg seem a lot bigger, obviously many favors but Infeel the roots almost get root bound sometimes? some when they move to the buckets explode with growth while others barely explode at all yet looked very similar root wise and size leaving veg. Should i... Best way to Veg prior to flowering in RDWC February 03, 2020 at 08:58PM Read more about this fix

This poor plant. I'm the worst mom. Any advice?

Ok, so it's my first grow and I have managed to make just about every mistake in the book. This little auto, 2vast 2fast, is somehow still alive in spite of me... although she's not looking too pretty. So, here is where I am at. She is being grown in a dwc 6 gallon bucket under a 300 watt blurple. (I have a new light on order, but it's not arrived yet.) Light is about 18" from my plant. She's 6 weeks old and quite stunted. Nevertheless, she's starting to preflower. Temperature range... This poor plant. I'm the worst mom. Any advice? February 03, 2020 at 02:40PM Read more about this fix

Expiration date on pH buffers

My pH buffer solutions for calibration of my meters are out of date; I see no precipitation of salts in the bottles; are they still good? I have VWR brand 4, 7,and 10. The neutral yellow 7 buffer solution looks almost clear now, but the red 4 and blue 10 look the same as when new (still blue and red). I think the color dyes are the only things that can actually degrade. When I check the neutral against a newer but still expired 7 from cole parmer it's still within 0.1 pH unit. I assume...

Can this be from the h2o2 i added today???

I added about 2ml per gallon of 35% h2o2 to my res but i did it a little faster then i normally do and i just noticed most of their leafs are curled and basically looked burned from the inside.
