Can I add frozen water bottles directly to the res of they are clean?

room temp is around 78 with lights on res temp is 75, and ph is always checked daily and brought to 5.8

So my plants have been on and off okay, this is my first attempt. I have a 600w hps dwc hydro system. 6" vent fan, 1 plant has 6 gallon resi. The plant started flowering fine and now this. Any help would help. I adjust ph daily, use ro water, and house and garden aqua flakes nutes.

atleast i got one

Scooby doobie doooo :)

if that is the cause i might be switching nutes, this changing the ph to 5.8 everyday has got to go. But switching from tap to bottled spring water helped a bunch.

the reason I was talked out of the ppm meter because of the nutes I am using. I am using house and garden aqua flakes which requires changing water every week. This being said you dont have to reup your nutes like your normally would with nutes. So a ppm meter in my case would be for an...

thanks, great find as well.

So I was talking to a local hydroponic shop owner who talked me out of a ppm meter today. Well know I am wondering what store bought water people have tested with ppm & ph meters? I live near a local Giant store and read bad things about there water. So was wondering where you get your water...

just got back from the hydro shop, picked up all the supplements in the line of nutes I am using. I was talking to the owener and he said be careful with distilled water, not so much for the health of your plants but for the health of your instrumentation. He spoke of the ph pen breaking...

its a work in progress

spliffer, what kinda setup are you running? Obviously dwc but how do you have it set? I have individual 5 gallon buckets with true 5 gallon net pots which imo are to big. Reason I ask is this is my first grow, still in veg stage. But I am ready to ditch individual reservoir's for a central...

I have a garage shop light with 4 x 4' t8 6500k lights, will that work ok?

so I started about three weeks ago, and managed to mess up royally. Now a restart, question is tho can I place seedlings directly under 600w MH? And how much air should be bubbling, I have a 70 gallon air pump with 4 outputs, one goes into each of my 4 buckets with a 5" airstone. It seems to...

sounds good, thanks for the advice. I was changing every week but its alot of work and extra supplies I take it. How often do you add supplements?

thanks ill be getting a ppm meter soon then. This way I can keep an eye on what is going on. Also how long do you keep your water before changing it?

the ph of the water from the tap is 7.2 i do not own a ppm meter yet. And thanks everyone for the help, I am gonna try to change the water in one bucket, mix the nutes better and then adjust ph. I appreciate the respones

i am using tap water, i will have to look into using one bucket as a experiment next flush, i will use ro water. i dont have a ppm meter but i do check ph daily and it likes to rise from 5.8 to 6.8 in a day

the plants started looking very ill, i changed the water, and have to adjust the ph everyday, in a day it will rise into the 7's. The plants are making a slow but sure recovery, one is back into growth. ill just have to adjust the ph daily. Any tips on a cheaper ph down, or an at home...
