    Guide to Getting Rid of Root Rot

    I have only used it with GH 3part. But it says it should work with organics too.

    need advice

    That would be a good tent for the price. I would be getting LED lights to go with it. MarsHydro has about the best LED lights for the price out there right now. You would want 30to50w of draw from the wall per sqf of LED for best results. A 4x4 would take one of their 1600w or 800w draw from...

    First time bubbleponics grow - 250w CFL

    You should try to get your PH down to no ore then 6.5 and 5.8 would be much better. At 7 you will start to have issues with lock out. Be very careful not to let the PPM get to high. A good meter is a Big help with DWC. Things can happen very fast with it. Keep an eye out for any changes to...

    dripper?

    There are two main ways people are doing DWC one is with buckets/tots with water and airstones in the bottom and the roots just hang into the water. or Waterfarms. They have a lift shaft that brings the water up and drips out over the medium. The roots from the Waterfarm also end up in the...

    Guide to Getting Rid of Root Rot

    It you want to stop root rot and never see slime again. Try z7 water treatment. With z7 there is no need for H2O2 or tea. It does what those do but much better. My buckets stay spotless at all times. Slime now is a thing of the past for me....

    how to change your water in dwc once your plants get taller than you?

    There are lots of ways you could do it. A Battery-Operated Liquid Transfer Pump is a stick like pump. Google it. You could also hook two buckets together with a hoes. Then set the one with the plant 2or3" up on blocks. You could monitor,fill and drain from the second bucket. If you put z7 water...

    Grow space too hot for hydro 79.

    ( DWC would give you good results only if you have everything at optimal) I agree with that. z7 has widened the range for me. I do not recommend growing that hot. But not because of the quality of the plant. That has not suffer at all for me. But the plants do get more shocking at higher...

    Grow space too hot for hydro 79.

    There is no doubt that I would rather be running a lower temp. But I learned how to run hotter in the summer. This thread is about growing at 79f. If all you can say you failed so everyone else will too and they should only use dirt. Then all you are doing is trolling not helping. Then you...

    Grow space too hot for hydro 79.

    I understand you failed at it. But that does not mean everyone else has failed too. You can keep your dirt. I have been there and done that.

    Grow space too hot for hydro 79.

    "What i am talking about it quality" LoL Maybe it has to do with the way your running your DWC or with what your not putting in it. Sorry I can can not send pics because of where I live. I moved from HPS and dirt to LED and DWC. You can keep the dirt as far as I am concerned.

    I did not see any Thrips. But they do look Thripy.I would still be giving them a good dose of "monterey organic garden insect spray consentate" It will kill many kinds of bugs.

    Air pump and stone question hydro noob

    I run GH dual pumps with 2" cylinders in 5gal DWC buckets. With temps 75f and below I would run 4 buckets with one pump. Over 75f I only run two buckets per. Those big piston pumps put out to much heat without a chiller for me to use. 1 watt per gallon minimum and closer to 2 watts if your...

    Grow space too hot for hydro 79.

    Most rooms will have a lower temp near the floor. The same place most pumps are. I run what I call a hot DWC setup. 78-80f. I tried just about ever way that you will read on any forum to do it and not get root rot. Some on here will say don't do it or it will not work. But like "nameno" I...
