Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

Hello, It has been 6 days since I started my seeds. Originally I started them in Perfected Starts (Composted bark, much like rockwool) with a heating pad a humidity dome and some water. After 5 days I moved them over to my hydroopnics unit because they were showing tap roots. Checking them now, the perfect starts are completely soaked and they have been completely soaked for about 48 hours. Should I stop the pump and let them dry out? You can see in the pictures it is competely soaked... Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Waterfall spout extender

Hey guys, I have a question. Would it be too much if I added 3 more 90 degree elbow spouts that circle around the top of a grow bucket in a daisy chain fashion, creating 4 water falls of equal pressure?

Go green or Go Ham

I am conflicted between a good conscious, go green, energy star system and a bada$$ top notch rdwc-waterfall diagonal halfpipe closet scrog. I have two plans, one combines gravity and the lowest wattage pump necessary to pump 80-120 gph into each bucket to complete a full recirculating waterfall system. The other has a 750+ gph danner mag drive inline pump, check valves, venturi system, pressure gauges, AND air pumps with nano bubbles to complete the same waterfall system. Both systems use...

Safe Reservoir Temps For DWC?

Im running LED's in my room (mars tsw2000) and trying to follow VPD as much as possible. Im told that running LEDs i need to have my room temp a bit higher because the leaves dont get the heat they should ]running something like HPS, so i have to account for that with room temp. I dont have a chiller and am scared about reservoir temperatures getting too high and root rotting out.

Rockwool with drippers

I'm running quite a few plants in 6 inch rockwool cubes and I'm having trouble getting them to wet/dry consistently with each other. Some will be totally soaking wet and some are light as a feather at the same time, even if I run the system for 15 mins until my tray is pooling. Some are still extremely light. I have noticed that they are all dry on top, no matter how heavy they are and it makes me nervous that only half the cube is getting water. Is there some technique to putting in the...

Guide to Hydrogen Peroxide in hydroponics systems.

I found this pretty easily using Google, but I thought I would share the info. If it has been done already I apologize. This is originally from http://www.jasons-indoor-guide-to-organic-and-hydroponics-gardening.com/using-hydrogen-peroxide.html There are no doubts about the benefits of using hydrogen peroxide properly in a hydroponics system. This becomes especially true if your nutrient reservoir is kept above 72 degrees . Warm water holds less dissolved oxygen...

Iron precipitation

I am in a coco DTW system. Having problems with iron precipitating out. I say iron… as it is black but I haven’t tested if it is magnetic. Just occurred to me. Regardless, black precipitate in my reservoir. Here’s the recipe I am following: GH Armor Si 3ml/gal Peters 3.4g/gal Calcinit 2.3g/gal Epsom 1.2g/gal Greenway Cal-Mag powder reconstituted per directions 3ml/gal I know the cal-mag and Si are not typical in a 3-2-1 setup but I won’t stop using Si because it makes a huge...

Ebb e flow first grow, flood during the night?

hey guys, this is my first time growing in a ebb e flow setup, using clay pellets as medium, i need some advice if i should add a flood during the nigh cycle my plants are going in straight into 12/12 from clone, they went in 5 days ago, just noticed that they get droopy before the first flood (20min after lights on, last flood is 40min before lights off, doing 5 floods total), should i add a flood during the night? that did not seem to be happening until now, but they kinda went on growth...

PERFECT Res Temp without approximation?

Hey Growers! I wanted to ask a simple question trying to figure out what the perfect temperature for water in hydro would be, within maybe 2 F. (I got a new tool that allows me to regulate it without approximation) Let's say i have a DWC - RDWC system, i use h202 to sterilize the water and i can follow the VPD chart exactly, room temperature being a couple degrees (5 - 6 F)warmer than res. Right now i'm aiming for 66 F, but i'm wondering if maybe the plants can benefit... PERFECT Res Temp without approximation? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Reptile fogger for hydroponics

I want to get into hydro and decided I want to give fogponics a try. My buddy has given me a reptile fogger for free so I plan on using that and connecting it to my container via tubing to produce the fog. I know that water temp is important for hydro and I was wondering if I need to add warm water 68F-70F to the repfile fogger right away or do I just add cold water and let it do its thing since it will heat up anyway? Any tips for this kind of setup you can give me? from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Hanna gro line meter

I’ve had a Hanna instruments groline monitor for my hydroponics setup and it did great for a while and now it goes a few days and then shows my ph has dropped to 4.34 and won’t change the temp amd ppm will change but stuck on ph. I cleaned it in the cleaning solution and then let it sit in the storage solution for 3 days and it worked when I took it out rinsed and tried but this morning was back at 4.34 from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

RDWC HELP

So I started four NYC diesels all sprouted and once I had roots coming out of the bottom of the rock wool I moved to the rdwc .

What are the best strains for indoor hydro/aero?

Just curious what everyone has had the most success with - excluding autoflower. I'd venture a guess at super skunk, white widow, or northern lights/blue dream. Never grown any of these. I'm thinking hardy/forgiving/adapted, high yield, fast flowering. Just kinda speculating as to what seed to get next.

Can you set up an automatic watering system indoors, while your on vacation?

Right now I am ordering my plants manually with a spray bottle and a little cup. I am wanting to know what sort of setup I would need, to connect to my kitchen faucet which would allow me to automatically water my plants while I'm gone or even if I was there. I've seen various setups including container but which will work best?

pH drops like a rock daily!

Hi guys, this is my first post, maybe someone is able to shed some light on this issue. I've been a grower for the past 5 years and always managed to find a solution when pH is increasing or decreasing, HOWEVER in this particular grow I am completely out of ideas of what is causing such issue. Basically pH drops on a daily basis from 5.8-6.0 down to 4.1-4.4. This issue starts after 4-6 hours when I pH adjust the water or replace the water completely is stay stable for that amount of time... pH drops like a rock daily! from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

3d Printed undercurrent Hydroponics system (UC RDWC)

Decided to attempt a 3d Printed undercurrent Hydroponics system (UC RDWC) , as they are very good systems but just cost a stupid amount of money. It seems that things like the large tank connectors realy drive to cost up. i also seem to have collected a lot of filament that i can use to print most parts except the 110mm pipes and the quality square buckets i found. PETG fillement costs about £15/16 for 1kg and can print 2-3 massive fittings for that if not more. im... 3d Printed undercurrent Hydroponics system (UC RDWC) from Hydroponics / Aeroponics read more

Cut off Roots?

I am on my 15th day of flower and I’m using an Autopot with 5gallon buckets x 4 plants in a 4x4 tent with HPS 1000 watt. My issue is that the roots have gotten So large that it is impeding the water to bottom feed as efficient as before. Should I cut my roots off at the bottom? They look a little brownish but I think from the nutrients, no rot at all. I just got done using Azomax to get rid of fungus gnats that we’re eating my plants and my roots. Would Not use it again.

Hydroguard or southern ag gff?

What is the difference in these products? Isnt it the same bacteria in each bottle? Huge price difference! Hydrogaurd label says it has .038% bacteria and is clear. Southern AG says it has 98.85% bacteria and is like chocolate milk. Is this because it so much more potent? Is Southern AG safe for a recirculating ebb n flow system?

GSE for hydroponics

Just wondering if anyone has used grapefruit seed extract (GSE) for there grows.
