Not trying to sell anything just want to see how much interest there may be. I've done some grows in a DWC bubbler type system(DIY 5gal buckets) and as the plants got big it was soo hard to properly manage(check PH/EC, change water, etc). So from my own frustrations I developed a system, it still uses the 5gal buckets for the plant roots to grow in but a unique bi-directional valve allows the nutrient delivery and return drain to use the same pipe automatically.

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.

I'm trying to setup a top-feed system that uses a rez that is not lower than the plants. Some flood and drain systems like Greentree do this by using a container (bucket) and small float valves (water level valves), that then pump the water back to the rez. The plant buckets are connected via hose to a bucket next to the rez, which I'll refer to as the rez bucket. Gravity causes the water to flow into the rez bucket after the plants have been fed.

I know that anyone who uses hydroton in their growing endeavors really, really, hates the activity. I think I've found a simple and effective way to clean and dry your hydroton in just a little time with little effort. Enter the hair dryer. This was an idea that I had today. The idea seemed like it would work, so I gave it a try. What I've found is that this will dry the hydroton and dead roots when using the hair dryer. Agitate the hydroton with your...

I've been a long time user of GH's products. I've since switched from their liquid flora line to the dry maxi line. I only use their maxi powders, potassium silicate (armor si), and floralicous plus. Instead of burning through endless amounts of liquid cal-mag I switched to magnesium sulfate and calcium nitrate in dry form. It's much cheaper and I stocked up on both. I was looking at the GH feed chart for the maxi line and there's a small note about the required order of adding some products...

There is only one true hydroponic system and its method lay hidden for 3500 years it was the biggest hydroponic system this planet has or will ever see. Guess what LOL I discovered it and renamed it Nutrient Trickling Technique. What/where is this hydroponic system?

I recently started my first indoor hydro in clay pebbles top feed in Dutch bucket/DWC recirculating. I've grown outdoor for close to a decade but this is very different I'm finding out. I cant seem to dial in how often I need to water. Some say let it run 24/7 and some say 15min every 2 hours, that's currently what i am doing right now but just want to know others opinions incase I'm missing something. I am seeing little deficiencys, nothing major but I thought maybe I'm not watering enough... Watering schedule top feed clay pebbles? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Hello all. I’m looking for some input on a system I just built from spare parts. Im fairly new to hydro so all tips are appreciated. I have 12 5gal buckets with 4” net pots that I’ve cut rock wool cubes to fit in. The net pots only hang about 4” down into the buckets. So far it seems good, I just transplanted the clones into them but I want to catch any issues before they happen. I’m thinking I’ll flood once a day until they get bigger and then maybe twice a day? Also should I add any media... Ebb and flow. Rock wool in 4” net pots and 5gal buckets. from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more
