    First Grow Ever DWC

    Single plant per pot is all you want for sure. As far as water level goes, I would keep it high during this phase as long as you keep oxygen levels high with your airstones. Plants can grow very well in fully aquatic conditions as long as their is enough oxygen in the solution. Assuming you...

    Would this work?

    that would work but you will need an air pump in addition to this. To get the nutes from a separate res to the DWC bucket you will need a water pump that moves water/nutes rather than an airstone that blows air into and airstone at the bottom of the bucket. So you could recirculate the nutes...

    Are these seedlings looking saggy?

    they look fine, but just let em dry out a little more each time before watering if you're concerned. Definitely step up the container size, those roots love all the space you can give!

    Lighting/fan schedule for 7 day old sprouts

    Keep the sprouts off to the side so they don't burn under the direct light, you can use an 18 or 24hr light period if you want both will promote vegetative growth. Keep the fan on low and near the sprouts, I like my plants to be swaying a little in the wind, this will help strengthen the stem...

    My first DWC setup, any feedback would be great

    Time for another update, it's been awhile. So the two large Flo's are into their thrid week of flower, the little baby whites are showing! Now the fun begins. There's a pic of my whole garden, just added a 12-site bucket and will be flipping the whole room today. The 12-site is mixed with...

    Do you only add nutes to dwc once a week ?

    if you have a ppm meter you can continuously add nutes to keep the res at the same reading at all times. If you ladies are drinking a gallon every couple days (or everyday like mine) and the ppm is going down then you can keep pumping those nutes in there and really get those babies going...

    Question for you Bubbleheads!

    If you put any rooting gel on your cuttings or in the res it will start to gather and causy a slimy layer. Mine took about 10 days to pop roots in regular tap water, cuttings dipped in gel, the remaining solution diluted into the tank. Good luck, post pics too.

    Broken Root

    I've lost roots before, as long as there are other ones she should bounce back. Maybe a little stress but you should be fine. Post a pic.

    how do you start a clone in DWC/bubble bucket?

    my clones take about 10-14 days in the bubbler before they start looking confident. You have to figrue they're going from a well fed branch without any restrictions to a foreign environment where they're now responsible for "drinking" nutes from their stems. give it time, no need to over...

    how do you start a clone in DWC/bubble bucket?

    sorry if I was unclear, as long as there are roots hanging, let them into the nutes. It's only in the very beginning when you don't want the stem/rooting cube soaked in water. Let those roots swim!

    Whitflies and aphids...

    let them sit for a few days and do they're work. These little bitches have really short life spans eveything is in terms of days and up to a week. Wait till its dry enough to feed again and use your regular feed. If the problem continues next week, do the same thing. One or two applications...

    white spots on leaves

    are they white and a little fuzzy looking? You could have some powdery milder starting and you should take care of it fast before it takes over. These spores come from all sorts of place and once the right envrionment exists for tem, they really take off. There is an organic OMRI certified...

    Looking for some help, bagseed CFL grow roughly 3 weeks in

    Calm down bud, your plants look just fine. I used to worry about the tiniest little stresses here and ther when they're just starting off. Your plants look quite healthy, the slight burn could be from many different things and if is continues in the next week than perhaps you should worry but...

    Over or underwatering

    never keep giving your plant water because they look under watered. Chances are they have more than enough and are just waiting to drink it all up before next feeding. Small soil plants will drink very small amounts sometimes only once a week. It's onlu when the plant reaches a few feet and...

    First time growing..ever

    sk8punk is right, just start things out indoors until you have a nice little healthy plant before moving outdoors. If you do not have an indoor grow room, find some nice space near a sunny window and let your babies go from there. I would definitely recommend staying in containers throughout...

    What's With This Crippy

    I'm not gunna lie but crippy sounds like some wierd slang term for some dank/kind bud. Genetics and strains go far beyond your previous ratings of "regs and mids". Perhaps quality can be broken down into different categories based on how well it was grown, dried, and how far from the grower it...

    3 days into flowering and the top 5' of the main stem broke off.

    Only 3 days into flower, the plant barely knows whats going on between light changes and nute mixes. I used to top my plants late into veg just to reroute the growth hormones to the next 2-3 strongest branches. Can increase yield at times, may shock your plant a little bit but all is well. As...

    Bubbleponics apollo 13

    yah a lot of people are using up to 1-2 gallons of frozen water bottles to sit in the res (depending on size). Also there seems to be a large group who have transferred to coolers rather than just regular buckets or the large totes. Either way these people seem to have success and can continue...

    how do you start a clone in DWC/bubble bucket?

    Definitely lower the the water/nute level. You want more of a misting on the roots in the beginning until they start to hang below the pot and really take off. Good luck.
