use bleach from the getgo . 1tsp per 25 gallons. commercial greenhouses use it regularly.
I've got GH M&B and had very similar problems. Personally I think the stuff is garbage and has no place in a hydro system. I only use it in my soil plants now. I just add plain uncented 5.25% bleach once a...
Thanks for all the help guys. Honestly. I know its just a simple post which you make dozens of each day but these responses really helped a lot. Problem solved!
I am a fairly experienced grower but this is my first grow with auto's using the ebb/flow type setup.
The top set (newest growth) of leaves is drooping and I can NOT figure out why. I did a res change yesterday and got no changes. It really looks like moisture stress of some sort but I really...
my plants look sexy now. transplanted to soil. obviously something wasn't working with my hydro setup. i'm going to buy and ebb and grow setup for my next round but these pics are from 6.5 weeks. about.
i'm going to say your all wrong. i had 1400w in a 4'9'' x 4'9'' and my plants looked healthy but never grew.
they were just fried into submission. temps were around 80 and ph of the water was fine.
once i switched to JUST the 400w metal halide bulb they took off like rockets.
i agree that...
about 4 weeks in.
got 10 in ebb flow and 5 in soil now.
what ppms should i have these guys at.
how many times a day should i be flooding. they are being flooded once a day but look over watered to me. iunno. whatever. growing is kindof pissing me off lately.
i reallly wish i could have a setup like yours.
i've got 2 2x3 ebb flow tables under 1400w and i just can't get auto's to perform favorably. my leaves are all mutated and most of the seeds didn't even germinate. I've done quite a few soil grows and the genetics of these autoflowering plants...
so as of now i've got 12 plants in ebbflow and 3 in soilless mix. the ebb flow plants finally started to pick up and flower a few days ago so the games actually just started. i'll post a picture update aSAP.

I've got a 1000w:clap:, plants pale in comparison to growlow, its all about conditions. once i figure out how to dial these things in we should be in the clear, until then:wall:....
all of my easys are in an ebb flow table now. I have 2 2x3' tables. each with a 15 gallon res and 6 plants each. they are looking alright. will update in about a week or so.
