I would drop the sugar daddy and add some benes or enzymes. Looks like you are about to get the dreaded slime. Sugar feeds bacteria and allows harmful bacteria to multiply unless controlled. There are many options to remedy the situation. Like i said you can run benes or enzymes, you can also...
^^ True or you could supplement your flower lighting with reptile uvb bulbs. I've heard of uvb doing great things for plants but i did not know you could directly apply a large concentration to the plants foliage to prevent mold. I'm thinking of something a little different, but along the same...
I just found another forum debating whether or not it causes iron to fall out of solution. There was no definite answer though. no one had empirical evidence nor personal experience. Aquaculture is what led me to believe that a UV would work in hydroponics. I guess I shall go with a chiller. Im...
Yes pretty sure even just the names imply a significant difference. You totally missed my question. Pretty sure the only reason you have more posts than I is because of comments like this one. One keeps the temperatures out of optimal bacteria breeding environment. The other would destroy...
Just curious if anyone has used uv filters designed for ponds in a hydroponic reservoir. This is what I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002568Y0.
Trying to avoid using a chiller in my ucdwc.
If you are in hydro I would look into bad algae or bacteria in your water and on your roots. If this is not the case what nutrients are you using at what dosages? I have found that running a higher concentration of nutrients in your res will stabilize the ph a little better because of the...
No just running tap. My tap out of the faucet is less than 70ppm. When I add koolbloom I only add about 2.5ml per gallon because I am only on week 2 of flowering. I think I am going to with the lucas formula and add the koolbloom.
That is about what I use. I use 2:1 micro to bloom in veg and opposite for week 3 on of flower. I have found that using both liquid and dry koolbloom helps with my yield. Guerrilla Medic, do you use any cal mag? I am having a little yellowing that seems like a mag deficiency even though I am...
I know. I am only two weeks into bloom and I already have buds the size of marbles. Not to mention they grow in size incredibly fast. I am liking hydro a lot more because of the control you have over the environment and root zone. Next time I will be adding more holes in the inner buckets for...
The Buckets are tan in color as they are hydro farms. Think the root problem was from stagnant water. That is why I added air stones and re-circulation.
