hmmm... smart.... smart.... thanks for the replies

and then do you use the same valve to pump new water back in? is the pump strong enough for that?

So im doing my first hydroponics grow with a DWC system. Everything is growing great and i'm in my 3rd week of flowering. I've been changing the water every two weeks or so and adjusting the ph weekly. My plants are a little taller than 3 feet now and last time I changed my water the plants...

Ill upload some pictures soon. To address your questions: 1) I upped the nutrients because I didnt think i was using the right amount before. I bought clones and gave the plants like 1 tsp of flora gro for 10 gallons (which is way less than the recommended amount. Also I didnt have flora micro...

hmmm... I was going to upload pics today but the problem fixed itself overnight? Is this normal or should I be concerned?

I have no idea what EC even means haha (so im guessing that means that i dont have the tools to calculate it). I also noticed my roots closer to the plant were getting a little darker when they were pure white before.

Hey everyone. I just started my first DWC grow from clones about two weeks ago and everything was going fantastic. I changed the water in my rez yesterday and adjusted the Ph to about 6.0 and everything was looking great. I had the water level to about 1 inch below the netpots and then with the...

Also i just noticed my stems are really purple (even on an otherwise healthy looking 1 week old plant). from what ive read that seems like a nute defficiency but if thats the case how am i getting nute burn? can purple stems be nute burn?

I havn't been using any additional nutes other than those in my soil. -Im using Scotts potting soil which is 7-1-3 -I watered last on friday march 5th but usually water every two days. The pictures were taken immediately after wattering. -PH was about 7.5 since I bought the clones and took the...

Thanks for the help everyone. The PH of my water was about 7.5 so I added some lemon juice to it. Now its about 6.5. I've also been using bottled water so that I don't have to worry about boiling it or anything. I will water every 3 days now, although I just checked today (2 days since...

Hey, I'm a few weeks into growing and both my plants are getting a little yellow with the tips drying out a bit. I'm watering whenever the soil dries up (about every 2 days) and am keeping my light about 2-3 inches from the top of the plants. I have a reflector and the light i'm using is this...

I havn't been giving them any nutes or anything but I believe the potting mix has some... Here are some pictures, you can't see the yellow spots too well so they are probably not too important. One of the plants has two really fucked up leaves, that's from me accidentally dropping a light on...
