New to hydro questions!

Hello all, I recently converted my grow space to hydroponics with Floraflex's pot pro system. 6" 6 plants. i am currently feeding until 10% runoff two times a day. 50% humidity drain to waste.

Sterile Reservoirs

Hello all! I am new to this group but not new to growing. I have been growing in hydro for 3 years on a small scale. My backup reservoir was a large garbage that was emptied completely and sterilized often. I am now growing on a much larger scale and my reservoirs are now 7-55 gallon drums connected together. The bottoms are not flat so there is some amount of water that never gets fully drained. I understand anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and while I have no serious slime, I know my...

Leaf to bud ratio

Hi, I am in budding now using GH nutes at a ratio of 1-2-3, 1 grow, 2 micro, 3 bloom. I do not want the finished product to have a high leaf to bud ratio.

Can I use distilled water in balancing water EC ?

Hi, my tap water has an high EC and PH. When I add the fertilizers and the PH- solution, then the EC increases. To balance it toward an accetable EC for my plant's growing state, I use distilled water (about 50% of tap and distilled water). There is something wrong in using distilled water for this purpose or I can continue using it ? Thx a lot. Marco from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

This is what happens when you fuck up your clone tote manifold

I took clones far too late at week 3 of flower because I was behind schedule. They're rooting very slowly as a result. I thought I would adjust the manifold last night (that wasn't leaking mind you) to get more spray on the stems. More spray on the stems really wasn't a solution to me taking clones in week 3 of flower, and was in no way going to make the clones root faster. I then woke up to water that soaked the floor of my nursery tent. And this is now what I'm doing with my morning...

Best ponics spray nozzle I have found.....

So I have done a lot of testing on many different spray nozzles to find an ideal one for aeroponics and hydroponics in general. Most commercial spray nozzles rely on higher pressures and a tiny orifice to produce very small droplets, both of which are a problem in ponics since our pumps tend to be low pressure, and tiny nozzle openings clog easy. I tested many different types of nozzle with a mag drive type pump with 10 feet of head or about 4.3psi(2.3ft/head=1psi). The Antelco 15745...

Static as an elicitor in hydroponics what does it do.

Static increases parameters of E.C. and P.H. exponentially so much so the P.H. meter went in the bin years ago. Even E.C. is not critical. With a growing plant these numbers can rise 24/26/28 and still not burn the roots.

Help bulking up?

Hey y'all, I have a monster NYC Diesel auto in week 4 of flower that's just not stacking buds like I'd hoped. I've never had this issue with any plants before, I'm not sure if it's because it's such a big plant and expanding so much energy getting nutrients to all the bud sites or what. But if that is the issue how do I fix it? And if it's not what can I do to bulk this girl up! 5g DWC 1300ppm 68° Trio(1,2,3), cal-mag, Heavy 16 Fire, and hydrogaurd 20/4 under Spectrum King 402 from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

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 ... Can you say markup ?? :shock... Make $2200 worth of "Clear Rez" for $4 !!! from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Hygrozyme & Hydroguard

What's up guys. Quick question for ya. Has anyone used Hygrozyme and Hydroguard (the new one) together in a DWC/RDWC? My water temps are a higher than I'd like to see on my new setup and I saw some foam forming in the rez, which I've never seen before in years if DWC. I hooked up my chiller, but I fucking hate using them. They are the most counterproductive piece of equipment IMO. The pump for the chiller is an additional heat source and, obviously, the chiller is a major... Hygrozyme & Hydroguard from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more
