    How am I doing???

    Best 50 bucks i ever spent on water automation. Saves time and the back. Just set up a siphon bucket with appropriate size hose and it should work wonders. And it comes with garden hose attachment. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Superior-Pump-1-5-HP-Utility-Pump/15125707

    Fusarium, My Experience

    I just sent samples to be tested for what i believe is this curse. Any luck? Ive got microshots of the fruit bodies ad mycellium but it's too hard to identify without a good microscope. I've done my fair share of reading on Fusarium,Verticilium,and the other nasties... i've got my theories bout...

    Non-Stop Deficiency Battle (PICS)

    Sorry to bring wake the dead, but I figured I’d point out that upon closer inspection of the leaves and hydroton, the twisted growth, mottling,damaged fresh growth was actually caused by thrips. I think water stress just allows them to gain foothold. You can finish plants with thrips, but your...

    Mutated Mr Nice Guy Supersoil? Or Stress?

    I've got all the equipment I need... just need to make it function properly. I have everything from dehumidifier to 2 mini split units that are 22,000 btu each. I have 8k watts of lighting and am stuck using only 2 In order to keep the landlord content. I have 11k so far wrapped up into...

    Mutated Mr Nice Guy Supersoil? Or Stress?

    Appreciate the advice and I'm working diligently on getting everything in check. Given my current circumstances, I'm traveling 2hrs each way, 3-4 times a week, to my grow. I have almost everything automated to a certain degree but it becomes challenging when dealing with multi strain, various...

    Mutated Mr Nice Guy Supersoil? Or Stress?

    Decided to try out the supersoil on this clone that seemed destined to be more compost material due to a helping hand that doesn't understand watering yet. Just thought I'd share this hideous beast and see if anyone's ever had a mutation from supersoil or if I have something else going on here...

    8 place UC DIY build - parts/price list

    Did you have any issues with the bulkheads leaking? I just finished my build and haven't filled it yet. I used 5 gal buckets and 1" bulkheads as well. Just worried about leaks from the curved surface. Thanks

    8 place UC DIY build - parts/price list

    Nice! I'm trying to picture your setup, the only thing I could see wrong with that design, if I'm correct, is that if roots clog one bucket, then it won't drain even tho your pump is still filling it from the waterfall?

    spider mites? need help

    And no, 1 application of floramite has thus far gotten them under control. But I just spotted another live mite on 1 of my clones. So I resprayed everything again. I've gotten rid of them for only a month or so at a time. I keep spraying for 2-3 weeks every 3 or 4 days after I can't find any...

    spider mites? need help

    I've tried everything you can think of, aside from predatory mites, but with all the damn chemicals, they won't last long enough to eradicate anyway. Like I said, like the damn plague these ones are. I think they adapted to most common treatments from half assed attempts at eradicating by my...

    spider mites? need help

    Yea man, those little black dots are mites and the white dots, their eggs. They're like the plague... everyone's circumstances are different but for me, floramite (super expensive) and bayer brand safer soap with sulfur is what finally got them under control. Control being the keyword because I...

    Plants continuing to die and I'm running out of ideas!

    I agree with a lot that's been said. You do need a better setup ideally. But you can make what you have work. But not necessarily as easily as you'd like. I just went through similar bs with my rdwc setup. It takes time to dial in, even a brand new store bought setup will not work 100%...

    Plants continuing to die and I'm running out of ideas!

    And I'm not familiar with LED lights just yet, so I'm not sure of the intensity output but it is also possible I guess that the light is actually burning your leaves.maybe I missed other details on your post but it sounds to me like you're growing Deepwater culture no?
