From your last pic it looks like your clay pebbles aren't up high enough to block light out of the bucket where the roots and nutes are. It's my understanding that if light hits the water there will be more potential for bacteria growth, and I think I read that the roots don't like it either. I...

My compliments to the Chef, glad to see them doing so well. I found this extremely useful chart as I was surfing through RIU. It's not mine, I just saved it for easy reference for my dwc.

Insulated ducting helped eliminate some of the wind noise for me. I ran 25ft of 6" insulated ducting for my exhaust and I can't hear sound from the far end. I still hear it where I have regular ducting connected to my filter in the tent, but it seems a little quieter there too.

Been here for a minute but skipped over this in my pursuit for knowledge. So officially, what's up RIU! This site has been where I've spent most of my time researching so far. Lots of great threads and helpful members. I dove head first into a 4x4 tent RDWC with a dual 315 cmh. A few problems...

Here's my 4x4 with a dual 315 five days after the flip to 12/12. I've had the light a steady 24" from the tops since they were about 6" tall at 1st week of veg in the tent. The only thing I've changed light wise is the dimming. Started at 60%, couple weeks later 85%, and now it's at 100%. The...

There's definitely a learning curve starting out. Going from reading articles, forums, and books to being able to tune in figure out what your girls need takes a minute. I screwed up my first five seeds in the 10 hours I was at work because I thought it'd be a good idea to give my sprouts a...

Definitely doing a bigger res next time around. I'm not sure how I feel about the Vita Blue either, can you recommend something that does the same thing without the coloring?

New growth looks good, it's maybe a little lighter green than at some points but I think it's ok. Everything is growing like crazy since the res change the other day so I'm thinking I might have f'd up the mix the week before.

The Vita Blue stuff is thick, brown, and has a pretty strong smell to it. I was just looking at them pretty closely and they're not slimy. Everything smells fine and it looks like nute coloring to me, my first go at hydro though it's really only a guess. They've taken in over 100ppm of nutes and...

My res. temps stay between 62-68. They were getting into the low 70's until I covered the lids with HVAC tape. Looking now they seem to be getting a little more brown to them. Rot? Fuck, how do I fix it?

Mostly white with a little brownish tint that started after the first feeding so I figured it was just coloring from the nutes.

Hi everyone, This is my first grow and I'm starting to have issues with leaves so I thought I'd seek out some experienced hydro growers for advice before things go crazy. I'm growing out 2x GG#4 and 3x Cheese from Canuk seeds. I think I might have went a little hot on the first feeding but have...

Newly Recreationally Legal Michigan, U.S.

I'm about 4 weeks from seed on my first grow. It cost more than I expected to get setup in a 4x4 tent but I feel like I've got it dialed in now. Whether or not I break even, lose, or win as far as the money part of it goes is irrelevant anymore. This is a great hobby and worth every minute for...

Awesome idea with the 2x6, that's on my upgrade list for sure.

Thanks, my bad I guess. I do have an air stone in each bucket. Just finished putting it all together last night in time for week 2 of veg. feeding. I ended up using 5 -5gal buckets for plants and 1- 5gal for the res. with the pump in it. For the air I'm using 7.8 L/min dual outlet pumps that...

Man, I usually only hear that from my wife.... could you elaborate a little?

Hey guys, came here trying to get some insight also. I'm just starting out with hydroponics and am building a RDWC with 6-5gal buckets + a 5gal reservoir. I have 1" fittings/tubing and a 75gph submersible pump. Hydro shop owner guy on youtube said that's as much GPH as you should use so the...

I recently read something about how government marijuana is being genetically altered to have their desired affect on people, to make it more like alcohol in that it just dazes you out.
