Fogponics- Can I leave my fogger on 24/7

I made a fogponics clone station without realizing fogponics or really even aeroponics existed. This is all very new to me but I'm eager to learn. My fogger is an ultrasonic humidifier. I can't put it on a timer so it has to constantly run. Will constant flowing fog on a stem cause rot? The leafy areas of the stem are in a separate area and aren't touched by the fog if that makes a difference. Also the fogger puts out way too much fog for the resevoir so I have a window which excess flows... Fogponics- Can I leave my fogger on 24/7 from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Would this be too much P build up?

I am currently using blumats with no run off so I think you guys may have some insight here. The medium is never getting dry, however I noticed some slight curling, and figured it was ph, so wanted to catch it early. I took them to a little manual run off and it was low, around 5.5 (ingoing 5.9 max ) This is week 4 or so, however they have been on around 50 elemental ppm of P over the last two weeks, due to the natural P in the base. I think the P has been building, As far as I know P will... Would this be too much P build up? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Anyone use the Jack's 10-30-20 blossom booster?

Thinking about using it on my next cycle. I wasn't all that impressed with the 7-15-30 finish formula. It just wasn't a game changer. Due to operator error I screwed my plants in the first 2 weeks of flower by under feeding. Got a nasty K deficiency that I don't want to happen again. The blossom booster seems to be a good way to enter flower, but after being underwhelmed by the finish formula It would be cool to hear from someone else that uses it to find out if it's worthwhile. from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Res Cooling: PC Liquid Cooling Radiator Hack

Greetings, I've been recently trying different methods to reduce my nutrient solution temps and I stumbled across a solution that is quite interesting. I used PC liquid cooling parts as a radiator through which I continually circulated my solution. Thanks to the second law of thermodynamics , radiators are an effective solution for transferring heat. Plus I figured a CPU was a hell of lot hotter than my reservoir, so it...

RDWC Bacterial Growth CAN IT BE SALVAGED ?

Hey guys, This is my first time doing Hydro, and things are going great, im using Current Culture H2O nutrients line with Bud Boosters Early and Late and also using Reverse Osmosis water. I have a custom built RDWC intermittent pump for 15 mins on and 15mins off to mitigate the heat issue. Its a 3 pot system 2 x plants and 1x reservoir, im growing an AK47 Auto and a White Widow Max Auto. Both are in week 2 of flower.

Well water vs RO

Sorry in advance if this has been asked/debated. Searched and really didn't find an answer. I've been using my well water and have had mild success. The ppms are high so I can never really add a decent amount of nutrients to my res. Usually 5ml of micro and 10ml of bloom of GH nutes per 5 gallons is all they can take before issues start surfacing. The buds just seem to be fairly airy. I've been looking into investing in an Apec RO water filter. Would going RO and being able to use more... Well water vs RO from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Using too much Hydroguard or Southern AG bad?

Normally I dilute Southern AG down to 1:20 water ratio then use 1ml per 4L. However, I read you can't add too much beneficial bacteria so I added 10x of my usual amount. The next day my airstones are covered in clear slime. from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Can I drain dehumidifier water into hydro reservoir?

I have a 30 pint Dayton dehumidifier removing moisture from a 10 x 10 room. I usually have to empty it out two to three times a day! It has an automatic drain option however I dont have anywhere to drain it. Can I drain the water directly into my reservoir? What might the consequences be? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Health of Organic vs Synthetic Flowers

So I have recently heard that actually hydro flowers have been tested with less heavy metals than organic ones. This is thought to be due to the high amount of heavy metals present in organic soil amendments. So now the question, does this mean that our bodies will be better off using hydro-grown flowers? Cause if so I am down for hydro yields. I would appreciate to hear some thoughts on the more experienced people who have read more on this than me or already know. From what I heard its not...

Wow It's Settled for me....dwc GSC vs Soil GSC.....not even close....

So before you guys (about 4 of you) jump down the rabbit hole let me add a disclaimer....This is my first successful indoor grow. I had quite a few problems in the beginning of my journey...I charted it in my grow journal....But this story here starts when I got shit back on track....The time is March 5h...

when to drop water level

Just curious on when yall drop the res water level once roots start showing outta the net pot(my 1st dwc grow). Transplanted my seedling I aquired to my bucket last Thursday 8/19. Ive had the water level right at the bottom of the net pot just barely touching the clay pebbles. The last 2 days Ive finally started noticing slight drops in my EC and PPM each day. Pulled up the net pot and found 1 root almost to the bottom and 1 root out the bottom and along the net pot about 1".

Aerocloner needs cycle timer to work???

Well this is my 2nd not so successful round of cuts in the aerocloner. I'm going on 9 days and only 3 or 4 cuts out of a total of 60 are showing roots. The PH is 5.5-6.0, running plain RO with a dose of beneficial tea. PPM 50, temp, 74F. I am currently running the pump 24/7, my question is, do I need to put this damn thing on a cycle timer in order to get it to work? Who here uses a timer? And what cycle is it running, 15 on, 15 off?

Switching from soil to dwc question

Will something like this set up work ok. since I only do 1-2 plants at a time and a first time user to see if I can make the switch from soil to dwc and see if yields are really bigger and can actually get the hang of it. Then maybe upgrade after I see I can do it with out to much invested. Maybe y’all can let me now what else I need on the list of need with this.thanks for the info.

Kratky off-grid passive hydroponics (or how I got interested in growing)

So I recently got an interest in growing things by starting windowsill herb garden. I started with a few dirt planters but quickly got interested in the kratky jars I would see on reddit and youtube. It is like DWC but without an air pump, where as the plants drink the nutrient solution they create a moist air gap and they grow air roots. Once the plant has drank nutrient solution down you don't want to fill it up more than 1/2 way so you don't drown the air roots that have grown. The...

Root rot + Southern AG, recovering? and nitrogen deficiency

Hello all, So I got some root rot few days ago and someone on this forum suggested i use Southern AG. Looks like they are recovering right? Should i be worried about the rot on some parts of the roots or just let it be and it will go away by itself? not sure what to do here? I looked at the roots today (see pics ) and looks like im getting some really really white healthy roots coming out of a few of them. This is leading me to believe that the problem is going away.

Nute & Reverse Osmosis questions For Hydro

When I grew in the past I always used Fox Farm nutes. I was looking at Jacks nute line, as I’ve heard nothing but good things. I’m also shopping around trying to figure out what RO system to even get for my city water. I dry ran my setup to check for leaks and all I can smell in the control bucket is chlorine, BAD! I didn’t know if it’s really necessary to get a 8 plus stage RO system with UV. I’ve read if I use RO water I might have to add cal/mag. At the same time I also see if using the...
