Hey everyone! I’m starting a new grow soon, and I was wondering if anybody had ideas on how to create an RDWC system that doesn’t involve drilling holes in buckets. I’ve been down that road before, and it usually leaks. Don’t want to chance it I my new apartment! I was thinking some kind of top...

Hey everyone, I've got two blueberry and two afghani in my tent, they're about 5 weeks into flowering and mostly looking fine except some of the lower leaves are turning yellow: I have them at pH 5.8 and EC 0.6. Also, the buds aren't fattening up as much as I think they should. Is this...

Hey again everyone, I'm about 3 weeks into flowering in my DWC tent and so far everything is looking great: The only thing that's concerning me right now is that each bucket's pH is super unstable: I will add pH up until it reaches 5.8-6.0, but then the very next day it will drop to as low...

Thanks for the tips. I had put in more nutes because I thought the yellow growth meant they were hungry. Unfortunately I just got out my pH meter to double check and it looks like my probe is broken: it reads 6.8 no matter what which I know is not correct. Really frustrating since that was an...

Whoops, sorry for posting three different times, I’m on my phone and having trouble getting RIU to work right on safari. Anyways, here’s more info on my setup: -900W Vipar Spectra LED grow light -pH: 5.8 -EC: 1.8 (varies slightly between bucket because they’re not connected, but all...

Hi everyone, I have four indicas in a DWC grow tent and they have started developing orange-red spots on the fan leaves and especially the edges. All of the plants also look quite yellow as well:

Some of the leaves are still a bit light but on the whole they look better. Oddly, though, the ph has actually dropped over time. Just a few minutes ago it was 5.1 so I added some pH up. Very strange.

Hey everyone, I️ have been keeping the pH at 5.8 and EC around 1.0. I️ added more cal-mag and they look better but I️ think I’ll try to add some nitrogen too to be safe. Anybody know the best nutes for nitrogen?

Hey all, I’ve got some small plants in a DWC starter bucket and recently the new growth on the inside of three plants has turned a very light green color: However, some of the other plants in the same bucket are looking just fine: I’m not sure if this is something to be concerned...

So should I turn the pump down to just once a day? Even though the roots aren’t quite long enough to reach the water yet?

@firsttimeARE I have a top feed pump running 3 times per day.

Hey all, Over the last couple days I’ve been noticing some of my leaves turning yellow-green, others getting black spots, and most of them drooping. I’ve been keeping them at a pH of 5.8, lights on 20 hours per day, EC of 0.8 and Cal Mag supplements. Does anybody know what might be going...

Hey all! I have some seedlings of varying maturity, but some of them have reached about 6" tall and have 3 sets of leaves so I'm beginning to think about plant training and when/how to do it. My question is, for maximum yields, should I bend the main stalk first and allow multiple shoots to...

I took almost all of the toothpicks out and most of the plants can stand on their own now! There's more new growth today, too, so I think they're finally recovering thanks to you guys! These will eventually be moved to an RDWC system, so they will be sitting a couple inches deep in expanded...
