I was looking at the 20/20 aluminium profile and thinking of using it for my next frame and mounting f series on just the ends to the profile and leaving the rest of the strip exposed just to air. I noticed the f series strips I’m using have just semi circles cut out on sides for bolting what...

Since we use less nutrients in dwc as roots are always in contact with the water would we use less of the biostims too? I have several products that contain triacontinol, some with kelp,etc.. always used less nutes with dwc maxing at 500ppm(0.5ec) many of these biostims say use 1-2ml per l...

I’ve been adding extra boosters and bennies and it’s got too the point I’ve got like 5 extra bottles of shite. I want to go back to basics and just have a simple regiment. I don’t even know if all the stuff I’ve added has improved anything as it’s been a slow process over the years adding more...

I’ve been reading through threads looking for a nutrient to start using I want to go back to basics and see how it does without pushing nutes to the max. I’m concidering GH although in Eu I can only buy GHE are these exactly the same? I’ve seen @Airwalker16 mention he follows the below chart...

For the last 2 runs now I’ve been having issues with bud rot. Since using better leds and co2 the buds get so big that the inside doesn’t get any airflow. Should keeping humidity at 40% solve the issue or can you still get bud rot in dense buds with 40% humidity?

Right so I have had an issue with trying to figure out if you can use 36b drivers on 23v led strips for a while now. During my searching I have seen a few people asking this question over the years on different threads here. I can say I have a concrete answer now for anyone interested. I...

I’m planning on building a low height SOG with co2. Anyone got any advice on spacing and wattspersqft for led strips to achieve this? I will end up having the tips of the plants possibly 6 inches away from the strips near the end. My goal is to have 1100ppfd 6 inches away from the leds and...

I’m considering a switch up to a high density sog setup. I have a low ceiling issue so ideally I need moveable tables that I can move about if I need to gain access to the grow and for planting up. I considered flood and drain but the height restriction would be an issue for the gravity drain...

I bought a LPG burner a while back and I’ve gotten that sick of hauling propane in the dead of night that I’ve considered tapping into my gas line. I’ve tried doing a bit of searching but can’t find out if my burner can be converted? Is it as simple as buying a natural gas regulator and...

I’ve been growing buds in rdwc and had at least 6 harvests so far and none of them had any real taste or smell. Even during flowering and after a slow dry and cure. I’ve realised that I was following standard ppm guidelines on these forums that people say eg “start at 800ppm and work your...

I’m looking for some recommendations on how to design the lights for my mother/clone room. I plan to keep the clones in this room from cut to 5 weeks. The head room is extremely small. I will put the stem lower and lower into the cloner if I need to as it grows. With that said though I don’t...

I’ve just finished building a vertical system using 6 inch pvc pipe. A sort of NFT system with plants stacked on top of each other. I was expecting the plants to grow at around a 45 degree angle towards the vertical lights.. However it looks to me like the clones I placed in the netpots have...

my tap water comes out as around 180ppm on a x500 scale. On the water companies website all they give me for quality tests are that they claim: The water is moderately soft with: 40mg/l as calcium 100mg/l as calcium carbonate. They don’t state how much magnesium. However if my tap water is 180...

been messing around with new nutrients on a test grow I don’t normally grow with soil so it’s a bit hit and miss. I’ve never seen so many crystals all over my buds but on 2 of 40 plants I’ve put in a small grow room to test 2 of them have rusty leaves that seems to be travelling closer to the...

anyone know of any decent raw powder nutrients? I’m wanting to try and use some powder nutrients that I can add to water myself and maybe adjust the NPK myself rather than paying a fortune for water. Only one I’ve found so far is the RAW complete grow powder but the price of it is actually...

I must be doing something wrong when I drill holes into aluminium angles for the screws to connect the circular heat sinks too. I have used a sketch piece of paper of the holes on the heat sink and then used that as a guide when drilling but the drill bit slips 99% of the time and I have to...

im finally building my mother/clone room after finishing the flower and veg room. Flower and veg room use high spec cobs custom built and cost me a fortune making sure it was extremely energy efficient. I'm thinking of not bothering with cobs at all for the mothers and clones simply because I...

I am trying to reduce the number of reservoirs I have to monitor constantly At the moment I have a flower res, veg res, cloner res, mother plants res. I've noticed if I give my mother a low feed of nuts it's fine it doesn't need over 600 ppm. I'm curious as to whether other people manage to...

I've seen some people mention that circulation alone is enough to aerate the water: I'm just wondering at what point can I get away with no air pumps? If I have a 300l RDWC system and a 4000 lph pump circulating the water that makes the water do a complete rotation 13.3 times an hour or every...

im building a separate clone / mother room I plan to keep the clones in the room for a few weeks but they will be only 4 inches tall and just topped with 4 tops ready to go into my veg room. Would I be able to get away with 1 cob per sq foot running at 17w each, total 34 cobs On a hlg-600h...
