water

Has anyone used this stuff? I am about to switch to coco coir from soil and I hear alot about this brand being pre buffered. Does anyone know how to prep this? Do I need to add calmag or rinse to it out. I was going to start out with rinsing off the perlite to clear from dust. Then to run some...

Hey guys, I have been growing my autos as per a schedule I found when researching, pre-grow. Obviously the schedule isn't the best in real life as there are many different factors! I am day 61 from seed today and attached some pics of my plant. She looks like she still has a while to go now...

Plants are about 1 month old and 4 months old both in my opinion look terrible and this is very discouraging. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong I use a 600w grow light in a 2x2 tent with 2 fans and the temp stays around 70. Fox farm ocean soil fed 1 time. Soaking the pot every 2-3 days. Water...

I have no experience with hydroponics. According to most of the information I have gathered, the ideal root zone temperature for cannabis is between 26-30 C, which is higher than word of mouth recommendations that I have seen for hydroponics, and is around 18-24 C. Certainly, high temperature...

So I grew for the first time last year using several Greenpoint strains, supposedly famous for producing nice resin-soaked sticky bud. Grew organically in the ground, had good results come October (I was able to let everything finish properly, last plants were harvested the week of Halloween)...

so right now I’m watering my plants with a half gal of water w. Nutrients every other watering. I started at the lowest dose and I am working my way up to a full dose. Now the last time I gave them water with nutes there was barely any runoff. So this time I will give them 3/4 of a full gallon...

Is it OK to add water that has PH down in it into my humidifiers? I don't plan to PH my humidifier water, but I would like to dump the remaining amount from my watering can into the humidifier whenever I am done watering with plain water.

Hey guys, This is my first time doing Hydro, and things are going great, im using Current Culture H2O nutrients line with Bud Boosters Early and Late and also using Reverse Osmosis water. I have a custom built RDWC intermittent pump for 15 mins on and 15mins off to mitigate the heat issue. Its a...

Hi guys, I've got a seed that was completely germinated using the paper towel method, which I planted into soil that admittedly wasn't fully soaked beforehand, Last night the soil dried out due to my fans evaporating more water than I expected, It couldn't have been dry for more than 3-4 hours...

Is there a way for the layman at home to make water soluble THC? Thinking of trying to make my own infused soda water or kombucha or something like that... would I need to make a tincture and then therefore have alcohol present? If so... how concentrated can one make a tincture and still have...

I have been reading in some Studies that solubility of silica in water is greatly increased in a solution of ph>9. But I have been hearing from lots of professional growers to water at 4.5ph-7.0ph depending on the intention for its use. I’m thoroughly confused...

I have been feeding very aggressively with House & Garden Cocos base nutrients as high as 2.00 EC every day once a day for the last 6 weeks. Plants are looking great until they got hit with Top Booster which usually tears the leaves up a bit.. Even though I tapered into it.. Normally my runoff...

Hello everyone! I'm on my first grow and I'm super paranoid that I'm going to mess up the watering. I don't mind spending a little cash, but I already have a moisture meter used for uh, less heady gardening, and was wondering if checking moisture is a good way to prevent overwatering. Most...

Hey guys, So I got a bad nutrient lockout and wanted to know what its causing. Can someone please check my tap water? I mix 50/50 Tap water and RO water. I use GHE Flora series and am growing on soil. I think I have way to much calcium and not enough magnesium? What is the right ratio...

First off- as is noted in the title I'm looking into dissolved oxygen in water for a SOIL GROW not hydro ;-) Peeps- do you all run an air stone in your water reservoir/do you work on making sure your water has high dissolved oxygen content? Putting an air stone in the reservoir for my drip so...

My tap water comes in around 40ppm after running it through the brita pitcher. So far my plants (2 in veg, 1 seedling) are doing great started all 3 at the same time just got a straggler. Will I need to switch to distilled/ro later? Or will it be fine to keep using the filtered throughout?

First ever grow and was just curious is there a huge difference in using nutrients vs plain water? I used to use Advanced Nutrients Ph perfect micro grow bloom but the more I’m on forums I’m noticing a lot of outdoor grows use little to no nutrients. Thank you for all of y’alls input. I really...

My current tap water is metering around 7.14 and I am growing autoflowers so I would love to get my levels down to around 6.3-6.5. Can anybody recommend me a fairly easy ph down kit? heard the Alaska brand is good but can't find it anywhere, but the more commonly found general hydroponics brand...

PH has been waaaayyy up lately

I have always sat water out in a 1 gallon jug for 24 hrs or more but now that I have 10 gallon pots I need alot more water. So I bought 5 gallon jugs and a air stone/ 10 gal. Air pump. I was trying to figure out how long it takes to dechlorinate that amount of water while using the stone? Any...
