It's not meant for hydro. You will risk root rot using it. There are people who have used it and managed OK but my experience says otherwise and I do have experience using it in DWC specifically. Great for soil grows though. If you run a water chiller and can maintain sub 68 degree water you...

While I haven't done this myself I was actually given this advice for my DWC by a trusted grow friend of mine who has been growing various ways for probably a good 20 years. Can't say for how it affects plants and water but given that he says he has done and never mentioned any issues I don't...

Call me crazy but I think are using the chiller wrong. While they do make air cooler attachments for 6in venting that have copper piping in them for chillers which you can use to cool cooltubed lighting you'd be getting pretty redundant bringing in cool air from a portable AC along with using...

I was referring to the second post in this thread from bagada. The plastic scrog fence/net with the 4 angled plastic legs that attach to the bucket lid. I made something similar out of a large wooden quilting ring and some fencing but finding something that worked for the legs was a pain in the...

House of Hydro Ultrasonic misters/foggers. 5 Disc mister specifically is pretty good for a medium sized room/tent. Individual discs last quite awhile if you keep your water level from getting low and are replaceable relatively cheap. Kits come with floating containers for the misters, perfect...
