Hempy Buckets With +LIFE (Veg+Bloom )?

Hi Folks, Not sure if this question belongs here or in Newbie Central but thought I'd try here first. Just starting my second grow, and I'm doing Hempy Buckets this time around. First grow was soil and I have a container of +LIFE (Veg+Bloom ) kicking about. Would Hempy Buckets benefit from using microbial inoculants such as this, or is that primarily for soil-based grows?

What EC meter are u guys using?

I have been looking around for a good ec meter that i can rely on. I have seen in a lot of youtube videos people using bluelabs. I currently have an Apera EC20 and while it feels like a good product i dont know if i trust the readings. I calibrated it like 1 week ago and today it was off by like 20 to 30 points , aka i tested my nuts water before calibration and it was at 1213 then after calibrating it i got 1175. i dont know if this amount of swing is acceptable or not.

Enzymes and ucroots (pool shock)

Is using enzymes and uc roots (or pool shock) at the same time in my resevoir redundant or will it work? I'm using enzymes for what I believe to be stopping salt build up. But I have some dirty resevoir so I want to use pool shock to stop it. (Brown gunk on the walls and bottom sometimes. And a film on my pump) I use jacks321 which is relatively clean untell I add mpk later in flower. At which point salt city on everything.

Help! EC problem with Fox Farms nutes.

Hi folks, Apologies for this being the second thread I have started on this topic, but the first one didn't answer my concerns. If this doesn't work I will try another way to figure it out. I am doing my first coco grow and I am in week 2 of flower. The plants look healthy (see pic). No signs of nute burn. I am using Fox Farm according to their guidelines, erring toward under fertilizing. My EC is running 2.6-2.7 on the inflow. The runoff is around 1.5, which I think is telling me that... Help!

Irrigation system

Hey all, (novice grower here) I’m currently into week 2 of flower in my 4x8 tent and I’m going away in a month so I was thinking of setting up an irrigation system, I was curious as to if anyone would have some insight on if I should still water to runoff, or if smaller amounts will be alright for the time I am gone (10days). I have means to adjust temperature and humidity as their connected to smart plugs. I’m also curious as to if anyone would recommend getting a water chiller too or...

Need some help please, things have been progressing nicely through my grow. I’m still very much learning with only a year/4 grows under my belt.

Question about EC and Coco

Hi folks, I in the middle of my first time growing in coco (Super Skunk - week 2 of flower). This is also the first time that I've bothered with checking EC. I never checked it while growing in DWC and it never was an issue. Anyway, I just measured my inflow and got an EC of 2.6, my runoff EC was 1.02 and 1.05 in two plants respectively. I am a little baffled by this. Shouldn't my runoff be higher than my inflow? Also, the feeding chart (Fox Farms) says the inflow EC should be no higher...

Thinking of going from NFT to DWC or RDWC - thoughts?

I've been growing NFT for eons. I know it. I know it well. I can run a 40 litre GT424 all day long in a 4x4 tent - I know how to keep the PH in control, and the Nutes. I'm well versed in it and never have root problems. Temps are UK temps and therfore easy to keep the tank/nutes at a reasonable temp. I grow cuttings and seedlings in a bubble cloner. I'm hitting a yield cap in my tent 4x4ft (it's actually an 8x4 but I use the other half for cloning/seeding). No matter what I do I currently...

Fan Leaves Yellowing, One Cola Looks Burned, Week 7 of Flower

I'm wondering if this is from nutrient burn? The ppm was increased slightly from 550 to 650 (baseline of well water is 200 ppm). I wouldn't think that wouldve had such a big effect.

(How) can I transfer a plant to bigger netpot?

I have a plant growing in a 3 inch netpot and I want to transplant it to root spa bucket which has a huge 10 inch netpot. I won't take the plant out of the smaller netpot. Rather I intend to just sit the smaller netpot inside the larger one with hydroton surrounding it. The problem is that there are already good amount of roots coming out from the bottom. Will they be damaged if I just sit the roots between a little hydroton and then place the smaller netpot carefully? Or should I just...

pH issue I think
