Ya know I hear alot about beneficial bacteria but since I am new to this.... I figured it would be best to use Synthetic Nutrients + Dutch Master Gold Zone + H202 and just keep everything surgery room sterile and once I have that down I will then try to get fancy with introducing good bacteria...

So the picture with my thumb included is when the pump is running at ~50% Without the thumb is at 100% I have been running the pump at 50% and I figured I would slowly raise it as the plant matured eventually cranking it up all the way. Predominantly because I am a cheap ass and wanted to go...

Lol I get NUB (Non Useful Body) status I guess. Ok so I am indeed using an air stone though it is small... and I'm only using one. Should I use a bigger one? Or two bigger ones? I am using an Eco Air Plus 2 air pump, one output for each bucket. I keep the pump running at 50%. Should I...

Cool diagnosis chart... do you know where its from? a book?

When I transplanted I buried her roots in the hydroton as vertically as I could. So the roots are close to reaching the bottom of the net pot but they have yet to make an appearance on the other side.

Can anybody out there verify that severe oxygen deprivation can lead to leaves drying out and crumbling? I have scoured the internet looking for a definite answer but have not turned up anything. It just seems counter intuitive to think that overwatering makes a plant dry out and crumble...

I transferred this C99 female from soil to DWC roughly a week ago. For the first few days after transplanting I used only pH adjusted tap water ( I have decent tap water ~25 ppm) and she seemed to be doing fine... I then added nutrients and additives raising the ppm to 800! This was...
