Order to add nutrients - say wha???

OK so I have been seeing people say that things need to be added in a certain way. Instructions also say which order to add things in. My gut is telling me bullshit. I don't believe that any kind of major chemical reactions are going on that would require things be added in a certain order. It reminds me of one of Hempy's friend who did an old tutorial of him mixing Nutes and he dumped them all into a bucket before adding water. Everybody knows you're not supposed to do that either but he... Order to add nutrients - say wha??? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics https://www.rollitup.org/t/order-to-add-nutrients-say-wha.1018789/

3 rdwc systems one water chiller?

I have 3 4x4 tents with a system in each with 4 plants and one res bucket outside each one.. I have a aircon in the room outside, but struggling to keep the water temperature down.. Is there a way to connect one water chiller to all 3 systems? Will a coil in each res bucket be effective?

Atami Wilma

Hello, I am curious to know how the Wilma system works mainly in terms of solutions! How often do I have to add the solutions? Do I have to measure EC and PH every day to correct it?

How often to water seedling in rockwool and when to transplant

Hello everyone! I just planted seeds in Rockwool cubes and I’m wondering how often I should be watering them I started already getting some seeds sprouted after three days under the humidity dome. For the ones I germinated, there are some leaves coming out but I’m not sure how often and how to water them. 1) Should I spray ph-ed water or pour water on the tray and what criteria to decide how much? My rockwool cubes are still fairly humid so I wouldn’t be tempted to soak them again but...

Additives PPMs

Hi guys! I would like to know how is it adaviced to manage additives' PPMs ) like PK bosster an so on in a , nutrient regimen. I've seen around people suggesting going with 2/3 of total PPMs with base nutrients and 1/3 additives; and also people suggesting on increasing only base nutrients if we have for example to bump up the PPMs and leave the additives at the same concetration.

White Slime on My Roots and Airstones

Alright I have a stealth hydro type dwc. Got some Satori (3 weeks old) goin. About a week ago, I noticed some white slime on their roots, I think only the roots that were under water. Well I started a hydrogen peroxide run, following amounts I have seen on this board and others. It didn't help. I even picked off some slime covered root and put it in a bowl of peroxide, just to see if it was something that was immune to it. The shit bubbled and mostly disappeared after about 20 minutes...

Flood and Drain - Jack's 321 - having problems.

I'm doing flood and drain in buckets with rockwool. I started using Jack's 321 because I heard good things about it. Everything was going great until about 5 weeks into flower. My PPM after mixing a fresh rez is about 1350. After a feeding the rez would shoot up to around 1700. I'm wondering if that could be caused by a salt buildup?

irrigation question? 1 pump, 2 ressies?

I'm running 2 rows, at different stages and each row will need their own reservoir. I'm familiar with setting up zones using sprinkler controllers. But only with 1 source or resevoir of water. I'm trying to figure out a way to use just 1 inline pump teed off to each reservoir? Anyone smarter than me know of a way?

is this light burn ?

So i am experimenting with my LED lights and i think i might of given my plants a little light burn. I am using fluence spydr 2p with dimmer. initially it was about 20" from the top of the plants and dimmed down to 30% which was using about 213 watts each light ( i have 2 of them in a 4x8 tent ) Decided to increase the lights to 40% and this is what happened( see pics ) on a few of the clones. They have been in my RDWC for 12 days. I did a ton of research and i came up with light burn... is this light burn ? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics https://www.rollitup.org/t/is-this-light-burn.1004264/

Nute Calculator for GH 3 part

Years ago there was an excel spreadsheet preloaded with GH flora values and you could plug in your numbers and get all the data. It was originally kind of passed around along with Lucas formula so people could see that you hit all your numbers. I was always able to find it on the net by searching Lucas formula spreadsheet but that no longer works. Anybody happen to know where I can find a copy these days?

Different NPK ratio for different stages of flowering

Hi everyone, i would like to ask a question to the top growers here, but also share opinions about our experience: which NPK ratio do you think works the best for each phase of flowering? Meaning transition and stretch, then early budding, bud swelling, and ripening before an eventual flush? And most importantly, how do you find the right proportion between phosphorus and potassium in the different stages? A lot of growers and nutrient companies suggest higher P than K, other growers claim...

Venturi vs. air stones observation.

My background is in saltwater aquariums and coral farming. Oxygenation of the water is also crucial and we generally look for more oxygen exchange with movement of the water at the surface. A protein skimmer works by creating intense micro bubbles in a chamber that floats waste up and out. This is done with a water pump with a Venturi (air injection into pump impeller) but waste removal only works in saltwater because of the increased surface tension.
