    How do you know when to change the res water?????????

    BTW: the stinky smell is a gas produced by the roots when they are stressed and most of the time its not enough air OR temp too hot. make sure you have air bubbles and a frozen water bottle in there at all times. Cooler water increases the dissolved oxygen(DO) and in turn is increased uptake of...

    How do you know when to change the res water?????????

    why would you have to change it so much? If you have a 4 gal res. and then you are always adding water and nutes into it, prob everyday. as long as the water going in is stable ph and good ppm(prob make a 10gal batch and give whatever amount daily) You would NOT have to change your water till...

    DWC setup in 27 gallon tote..Questions?? Virgin DWC guy

    DWC can be a part Aero, keep your water a couple inches below to draw your roots down into the water, the bubbles popping at the surface are great, then bring your water back up to keep the feeder roots from drying out.

    DWC setup in 27 gallon tote..Questions?? Virgin DWC guy

    Your nutes don't go to waste till the end. Step your nutes start low, around 500ppm, everytime, or every week, you add 200ppm of nutes(I like the Lucas formula). If your grow is doing well You will need to add about 350-500ppm each time to get up to and past the pervious number...

    Organic Nutrients/DWC?

    Sorry, your nutes that say for SOIL AND HYDROPONICS really means, Coco, peat based systems, Rockwool, Perlite, ect.... You are basically making a compost tea that your roots are part of the feeding frenzy..sucks for you but you can salvage something. Go buy G.H. Flora series Bloom, and Micro-...

    DWC setup in 27 gallon tote..Questions?? Virgin DWC guy

    I totally agree about seperating the strains, you can feed indicas heavy 1400-2200ppm and they excel, sativas on the other hand max out around 900-1050ppm. because they take longer to flower they don't need as high of a ppm. 14 gal roughneck are great for 1-4 plants, and just fill your res...

    2x600 Watt B.C. Blueberry, Northern lights, and Mango. Comments Welcome

    starting seeds in plastic cups works great. You can do a force flowering now but only do 8/16 only 8 hours of light and 16 of dark. this will give you sex sooner than waiting for it to do naturally. after you pull the boys veg again for a 24/0 veg for at least 2 weeks after turning. Since your...

    Unless your bagseed came from truly great pot you wot yield what you think. Spend $40 at single-seed.com and get a couple top notch strains. I did this and now I have Belladonna, Arjans Haze #3, and BLZ. now among others. by far the best investment, only thing that is second is my beautiful...

    new growroom trouble. NEED HELP i have a 8 x 8 x 8 basement room need opinons

    If you are no a tight budget I would suggest a 1000w. It is about the same price as a 600w. hps system. But the 1000w. comes in a switchable ballast, and the bulbs will be cheaper conversion bulbs will run less lumens and have a shorter life. You are looking for a yeild of 40-60 oz. Not real...

    new growroom trouble. NEED HELP i have a 8 x 8 x 8 basement room need opinons

    Yes Airwave is right, all bulbs have a footprint in which they are effective your room can handle 4-1000w lights. but can you? If you get into cloning you need another room for the mom and clones or be a seed farmer and always start from seed. but the more we talk to more it is going to cost...

    new growroom trouble. NEED HELP i have a 8 x 8 x 8 basement room need opinons

    heres the thing, you say OF has 1 month worth of nutes, then what, you need to fertilize, so you either get some nutrients or transplant into bigger and bigger pots which costs more 1 bag of FF will fill 3-3 gallon pots if he grows 30 plants, thats $200 worth of soil. I say if you want to spend...

    8x8 I would use 2-600w and use 32sq.ft and plant 32 plants Veg 1 month and flower. YOU DO NOT NEED FOX FARM SOIL TO GROW GOOD DOPE! What you do need is an understanding as to what goes into "good" soil.... Peat Moss, Perlite are the foundation of all the soils out there. get a bottle of Osmocote...
