your water is way to warm, some of the nutrients youre using have no business in hydro.. your roots dont look terrible, they are 100% fucked. this will not end well for you.

i can say as much as, nutrient deficiencies were/are not present, on the very last week of flower and flushing atm and the entire room is.... very healthy. few leaves are starting to die off due to the age, trichome production is.. immense, Very very good. and yes am aware of nutrient...

As I mentioned earlier.... deff shit the bed in terms of trimming lower growth as this is my first round with this system... 8 plants have replaced the 21 that filled the area previously and learning what needs to be removed is simply... a learning curve... as for ph, i will definitely agree as...

Nug size.

So im just finishing up my first grow after switching to undercurrent hydro from soil.... plant health/product quality is.... top notch... pretty much perfect health (over the entire room, less than 6 fans have started to show signs of underlying problem, and this is at 7wk into flower, so ive...

hmm, read this thread from beginning to end... all these "experts" weighing in with their personal opinions, lots of talk of spectrum intensity, lumens/w.... high and low outputs in certain light ranges. tf you all on? has everyone in this thread had nothing but smoke blown up their ass to...

lol interpreted it as 12 flow cycles an hour lol, as there are other hydroponic styles that use such methods, (flood tables) n also, wasnt just, a guess, or even an educated guess on volume... took the bucket dimensions, as well as netpot dimensions, and calculated where the water level should...

lol ikr? Im basing my turnover/flow rate off of my extensive experience with aquariums, ideally 10x/hr will have the highest oxygenation rate, at ~5x an hr, it is sufficent but become susceptible to anaerobic conditions. at 15x or higher turnover, your oxygenation rate does not increase...

ill be using 10" netpots in 13g EZ-stor buckets

ty for the feedback, seems right in line with the 10x an hr rate i was presuming!

that info is irrelevant without knowing how many sites, bucket size and total volume of system!

interesting, wouldnt of thought that a higher turnover rate would attribute to nute burn, but i will deff be keeping an eye on that now

agreed, will go with the single 1/4hp unit for now, if more capacity is needed i can add a 2nd 1/4hp unit daisy chained to first unit, cheaper than i can find a 1/2hp one

also, undercurrent never stops flowing, it is not a metered drip system. its a re circulation system, interrupting re circulation will only make for slower growth rate?

how did i come up with 70g? by knowing the dimension of my buckets, and what the approx water level would be by using a 10" netpot roughly equates to ~60% full based off bottom of netpot and waterline either just touching, or barely below netpot 9x13g = 117g x 0.6 = 70.2g and yes ill be using...
