Veg cycle Alternative to RDWC

I have a RDWC setup that I wantt to compliment with a 4x4 veg tent and cloner. I have 4 buckets in a 5x5 right now. After making the mistake of using uniseals i have become a bit reserved about the quantity of water i have on my hardwood floor. I was wondering what other hydro methods i could set up and still transfer the netpots over to the flower tent when. I have 18gal buckets in bmy yent right now with 8in pots. the cloner Is basically a type of aeroponics right? Can aero be switched...

Fast fit flood table alternative

So I found an importer of a similar product but I only need 20 and min order is 50pcs. Do y’all think they would sell. They are 4x4 stands for flood tables.

Auto water feeders. Need some help.

Ive tried several times to get clones to root in soil but for the 10 times i have tried none of them have rooted.

Hydroponic system with shortest vertical profile?

Hi, I'm setting up a grow space that is only 55 Inches tall. So I need to minimize vertical spaces in any places that I can. I was planning to do soil with 6 inch pots. However I was contemplating today, and thought to ask: If anyone has a solution for a hydro setup that would be 6 inches tall or less? Space is 4x4 ft.

Hey everyone, New guy here. Been a long time grower (mostly rdwc) but am looking to get into aeroponics, and I've been making plans to build my own high pressure setup.

No meduim Ebb and Flow/NFT questions...

Looking for directions to info about a specific grow style. Grow Journals, How to's, anything I can study up on. I really like the idea of Ebb and Flow that uses as little grow medium as possible. That requires that the tray be covered so that the roots, as they expand, are not exposed to light. KLX does this style with 2 inch net pots and hydroton. I've also seen something similar done with setting 4 inch rockwool cubes on a NTF material. It seems like there would be a learning curve to...

Res/Nutes Change Frequency

Hi guys, I run a flood and drain systems, with 100gal res's that I change every 2 weeks. Recently, in a veg tent, I have seen slow/miscolored growth towards the end of a 2 week cycle (with E.C and PH are fine). I feel like I need to drop the res change frequency to every 10 days and see if this phenonemon shows again, however, I don't want the extra work of more res changes. How often do you guys change your nutrients? Should I investigate changing every 10 days, or even less? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics https://www.rollitup.org/t/res-nutes-change-frequency.1026969/

Make $2200 worth of "Clear Rez" for $4 !!!

That is correct. Same EXACT ingredient as EZ Clone Clear Rez that sells for $20 a QT. Get your self a 1 lb bag of HTH Pool shock non PH buffered available online and most hardware stores (bought mine from Ace). Mix 1 GRAM (450 in the bag) per gallon of solution. Will make the SAME EXACT concentration fo the SAME EXACT product. $4 will make you 450 gallons of the stuff and will treat over 286,000 gallons of water !! Should last you a little while ...

Hydroponics and PPM

Quick easy question for seasoned growers: PPM. What should your ppms look like during bloom through to harvest. Of course there are many factors with strain and other variables. I'm just looking to hear if there are any rule of thumbs for this. I just changed my water and my ppm is 730. Before my change I was at 1300. They were happy as hell. I usually add to the res every day until I get to about 1000 then I add ever few days until about 1200. I go weeks without changing. Running...

Water usage per 4 x 4 per day. How much?

I'm trying to research a little bit how much water your plants consume per day per 4 x 4. I'm doing some calculations for reservoirs and for a dehumidifier. So I am very curious about the experiences of growers here of how much water is consumed when the plants are at their peak of evaporation. from Hydroponics / Aeroponics https://www.rollitup.org/t/water-usage-per-4-x-4-per-day-how-much.1026780/

Coco in a Waterfarm

I have done a somewhat successful run doing this with a layer of hydrotone at the bottom. Was curious on thoughts about doing it this way. My train of thought was that im used to helping my buddy with his dtw coco, so this way I could try to have the benefit of a rez and constant feeding to the plant. from Hydroponics / Aeroponics https://www.rollitup.org/t/coco-in-a-waterfarm.1026749/

Roots now growing in DWC

So I had 80 clones in rockwool two weeks ago. They all were really wet and wouldnt dry out fast enough so someone on here suggested removing most of the rockwool. So I did that and two days later I hat brown slime algae. I added H2O2 with no success and then beneficial tea with more success. The slime is gone but my roots just dont want to grow. They are dying pretty fast, about half is already gone. I dont know wtf to do. My res temp is 71F 90L With three air stones (about 12W power)...

What are the "problem" nutrients in hydroponic mixes?

Been looking at buying all of the stand-alone nutrients for grows in bulk. But I'm curious - I know you can't just mix them all together at once, at least in concentrated form, because some will coalesce (if that is the right word) with others in the water and fall of solution or morph into something else that does not work for the plants. What are the problems nutrient or nutrients that you have to worry about this? What stops you from being able to just mix them all together in dry or...

City water

Anyone have to hit Rez with H2O2 to kill bacteria from initial fill up? If I add bennies water turns cloudy and algae starts to build slowly. If I hit Rez with the H2O2 first everything good and I can add bennies 24hr later, but have to do this every time because I don’t use R/O I guess and water lines must be old lol. 88 cents a quart for hydrogen peroxide, can’t go wrong.

Is this true/correct? Read it on a different forum.

I do struggle with this. I can see it makes sense but it goes against everything else I have read ie: Static water level, Nute ec going up means you are feeding to high as the plants can't take any more nutrients so don't drink, reduce ec and plants will drink more then work your way up from there. This is what was posted is it correct?? Most people assume that with a rising EC, it is the plants way of saying, I don't want more food, here, have some back. What is actually happening...

Wrangling a Malawi in hydro/scrog

Been growing indicas and hybrids successfully for about 3 years in both soil and hydro/scrog but this time wanted to try a 100% Sativas, so I'd appreciate any experiential support you can offer. I sprouted a Malawi (Ace) and a Durban Poison (Dutch Passion) and poked them into my hydro system late February and kept them on a 20/4 light schedule. The ScrOG screen went in about 30 cm above the pots, and when the plants grew to within 5 cm of the screen on 3/20, I switched them to 12/12. The...
