Yea I plan on watering multiples times a day with big plants in small pots. I wanted the moisture meter so I can formulate the watering schedule as flower appoaches. I wanted to see if anyone worked at a big grow or has a meter and has particular WC percentage. I'm sure there is an optimal %...
That doesnt give out a % just thier own a chart? No offense to the tool I'm sure with some use you achieve good results but I need somethign a little more professional/accurate. $300 isn't that much for a accurate metering device.
I'm switching from RDWC to DTW Coco for scalabilty reasons. Is there a general rule of thumb for coco Water Content % before water. Anyone have any papers on it or search terms I can look for. Not sure what ther terminology is for it since in DWC tthey just sit in the water.
Not looking for...
Lol i know what yucca is, I'm saying over another wetting agent that has even more benifits. I've tried CoCo Wet, Yucca, ethoxylated alcohol. and EA in my opinion was far superior for DWC even with the small amount of foam. I still use yucca in foliar though.
From my understanding base nutes can't be made much cheaper than most the dry guys are selling thier mix. The money saver is really in buying your own biostims and such. I order through alibaba a lot. Thats where I get my Chitosan from. Its like 1000x cheaper than Bud Factor X. Im working with a...
Thats who I was paraphrasing actually. I love harvey and use a lot of NPKs products. N is a luxury to the plant so it will consume it all. He even says thats why ppl think flushing is a thing, because they run water through the pot and it washes out N first cause its the most easily removed...
if your ec is going up that means u are over feeding. EC should stay the same if your plants are drink water and nutes at equal levels or drop if they are drinking more nutes than water. Its common sense lol. Also they should have a range, usually between 30 and 50% ec drop before change or...
I have literally seen some of the worst advice in this thread ever. Change you water when the ppm drop below a certain point, depends on the strain. Some like it hot constantlty some like it in waves. You will know by the leaves and by metering your ppm twice a day atleast.
For starters the...
Hey guys, just wanted to stop by the thread and add my 2c. I love when people talk about live dwc <3333.
So something that might help you Rahz is alcohol ethoxylates. which is a ester based non-ionic surfacant.
Basically it stops root rot from spreading between plants in the same hydro system...
nute burn/lock up IMO. I use RO but when my plants are that small they usually get ~150-200ppm in total nutes. I wouldnt be giving them 500 till they are in like week 3 or 4 of veg and they are ~12-18" tall. If you keep top feeding they might not look for roots and grow more leaves but no roots...
you gotta keep it in a humidity dome till the rapid rooter is well colonized with roots. much after the first true set of leaves show and the stalk is began to get woody. then place in the hydroton with slightly elevated water till the roots emerge from the net pot.
