Atami Wilma

Hello, I am curious to know how the Wilma system works mainly in terms of solutions! How often do I have to add the solutions? Do I have to measure EC and PH every day to correct it? Are there 15min of 3 to 4x a day that the system has to be activated? How often do I have to add more water? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Rockwool 1/4" grow-cubes - any experience?

Hey guys, Im thinking on tackling a grow using grodan 1/4"grow-cubes, mixed with a little bit of small hidroton bits, as a medium, in regular pots. Any experience using them? I'm wondering how is the water perfusion, thinking about using a dripper in each pot, going for SOG using 1 gallon pots. will the water perfuse well and spread out even thoughout the bits?

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...

Moving indoor for the winter for the first time.

The indoor and outdoor skillsets are quite different. I'm moving to hydro for the first time over winter. I know all about the requirements (environment, food, ph, etc.). I'm looking at Active Aqua's Grow Flow for indoor in two tents one for veg, and one for bloom. Does anyone have comments on Grow Flow? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

>1 lb first grow 3x3 tent!!

Hey Guys, just wanted to share my first grow ever, and it was a massive success. I had 3 fastbuds gorilla glue autos. The main 2 took a total of 106 days and the ‘baby’ I had to chop early on day 89 so I could use to tent to dry. Total I yielded 1 lb 3oz (2 oz back left, 7.5 oz front left, 9.5 oz right side). Onto some mephisto beans for the next one! Setup: 3 5-gallon bucket rdwc. 3x3x6 ft tent. Mars hydro tsw 2000 (300 watt) light.

Silica

Ok so been troubleshooting this issue for a while. First thought this was over watering issue then noticed there were tons of bugs beneath the surface that appeared to be root aphids... ran captain jacks through them and still waiting for this to take effect. My older girls are almost completely yellow and the new seedlings look like there about to die. My ph is 5.8-6.0 in coco with ec at 1200 or 1.2 But something else I noticed... same plant food as last time and coco and watering method... Silica from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

RDWC system help!!! Please....

Hello, So i need some help.. I built a 4 site system (Under Current design). 5 Gal round connected with 1.5inch Sched. 40 pipe. My return line is 3/4 with a 400gph pump. My flow is good and no leaks.. My issue is my (Res./Control) bucket is no where near the same water level and the 4 sites. All sites are leveled and follow suit when recirculating or even draining. Why is my Res. not the same water level? Should i use a 1/2 return hose or Ball valve to slow my Res. to the system? Im hella... RDWC system help!!!

Pump impeller vanes keep breaking

Greets all I'm new here hope to contribute as best I can, have had many successful crops though so I'm not quite a newbie. Question for you hydro/aeroponics folks: Anyone ever run into an issue where water pump impeller vanes keep breaking? They all seem to be made the same, crappy plastic impeller with 5 or so vanes on it. Mind you I don't expect my pumps to last forever, but none of them seem to last a full year. Never ran dry, 3 separate pumps to ensure not overloaded, also to not have... Pump impeller vanes keep breaking from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Coco and overwatering

Ok so I am growing in coco for my second grow. For the first coco grow I followed a technique of frequent fertigation watering three times a day. This worked very well but it was started with larger plants so I think they were able to breathe better. This grow I was doing the same thing and noticed plants were growing slowly and were showing signs of yellowing and dying leaves of older leaves. Thought originally this was phosphorus def. Increased phosphorus and the plants seemed to recover... Coco and overwatering from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Trying to diagnose last week - no improvement or solution

Today marks 14 days since pop. The pictures were taken yesterday (day 13). I'm growing in 80% coco 20% perlite in a 5 gallon fabric pot. Grow tent conditions stay around 83F and 60% humidity. I wasnt watering until runoff until 2 days ago which was the last watering, the coco has stayed moist so Im holding off watering. I was feeding full strength advanced nutes for coco and suspected nute burn so I flushd with just distilled water and have been spraying calmag foliar spray to leaves once a...

GH Final part (aka Ripen)

I'm really uncertain whether or not to use GH Final part (aka Ripen). A lot of growers say that is a bad idea as it give an artificial taste to the weed. Some others say it's working well.I used it in my last grow and I didn't notice any bad taste.Can someone please give me his opinion preferably based on his experience.

How can I add liquidkool bloom and floralicious plus to nutrients without giving nutrient burn?

New general hydroponics feed chart

So general hydroponics has a new feed chart. Im not familiar with the new chart. I’ve been using the old feed chart for the flora series, drain to waste. the new feed chart doesn’t specify whether its drain to waste or re circulating. I follow the old chart at 1/2 strength then slowly work my way up with the old chart but this chart is different. Now they have a basic 3 part flora trio chart and then an advanced chart wich adds calimagic and florliciousplus along with kool bloom when in...

Light burn? Heat stress? Root problems?

At first thought it was light stress since I just switched to their big lights. Doubt it’s root problems since they’re not drooping? Coco coir, air pots, 1000 watts led , 85 f 37rh.

Do you high pressure aeroponic growers insulate your pressure tanks?

I’ve been growing with HPA for a while now and I was wondering if you other growers insulate your root chambers and your pressure tanks? Do you go as far as insulating your water lines as well in order to maintain a 68 degree water temp all the way through to the root chamber? I was having some issues with my new chambers with nutrient uptake and deficiencies. Come to find out I was getting light bleeding through my chambers and they also felt way to warm.

Day 8 - When Should I Start With Nutrients

First time grow. I germinated the seed directly in coco and it popped 8 days ago. It has been seeing some really good growth. Even though its coco I haven't been watering much because it doesn't get dry. I was watering with what I thought was 5.9 PH water but I calibrated my meter today and the water Ive been giving is around 6.8. New batch 5.8 PH tap water with like 260ppm.

Harvest to save something

This plant was my original female that I took clones from and has been in flower for about a month and a half. I had some highs and lows with her and I think the lows are really showing their face right now. It is starting to hermi due to my unprepared actions and was wondering if it would be worth harvesting now or continuing to keep it in flower. I bought a tent and tried to have a light and dark side. Put a black double layer bag in the middle of the tent and a mylar layer on the... Harvest to save something from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Chiller questions

I’ve seen some with in out pipes on side front back top and bottom. A majority of the home aquarium or active aqua hydro Chinese ones are on top. I have bought 2 new active aqua 1/4hp both arrived dead so back to the drawing board. Done with that.

Autopot users: any salt issues? Benefits vs drip?

Been back and forth on running an autopot or drip system in a second grow room of mine. I've been concerned about salt buildup with auto pots so have been leaning drip. I'm trying to find some of the benefits to running autopot vs drip emitters and am coming up short. So, autopot users, I ask you this: Why did you choose to go with autopot over a drip system?

Sterile Flood and Drain, compatible nutrients.

Hi guys, I have decided to switch over using sterile system using H2O2 as the sterilising agent at 35% ~1ml/L twice a week. I am wondering what nutrients, additives, are compatible with sterile hydroponics? My plan will be to use Canna base nutrients with no other additives. What works with sterile? Do Fulvic/Humic acids break down with H2O2? What about enzymes like Rhizotonic? What other additives should be avoided with sterile Hydroponics? First post, thanks to everyone here for sharing...
