    Organics in a Recirculating System

    Where exactly did you run into a problem? Were you getting clogged misters or something? Heres what I do: 2 tanks with 4 plants with 4" of standing water in the bottom, which leaves the roots exposed to o2 for about 20". The bottom of the container is completely covered with bacteria and other...

    Quick Way to Raise Ph?

    If you look at any good nute companies feeding charts, you can see that they do indeed provide EC and PPM values for you to achieve before adding to soil. I know that the soil buffers a lot, but a good PPM meter is essential for growing any good plant.

    Quick Way to Raise Ph?

    Do you have a EC or PPM meter? If you did you could check the nute amount before you add it. You can find them for about 40-50 bucks on eBay. Are you growing inside? Of so what is the temp just above your plants?

    Camera help: Orange/brown color?

    This is a pretty easy solution. With mh or hps lights you will never get a good pic, your lucky not to get bars (wavelengths of light) in those pics. But what you can do is upload them to your computer, then use the temperature setting, and slide it more towards the blue side until it looks...

    Quick Way to Raise Ph?

    Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or you can get liquid ph up if you needed $20 from GH and will last you years probably. It will buffer th ph up for a couple of weeks easy....don't use a lot though.

    In Need of Hydro Help (Expert Needed)

    You don't need to be wary of only growing one strain...I grow 8 diff strains on one set up, with one Rez...takes a lot of work checking them and making sure they are happy, adjusting things as needed, tying the tall sativas..but for the most part it is extremely easy.

    In Need of Hydro Help (Expert Needed)

    It looks like it isn't just one thing causing your problems, but maybe a couple of little things making one big issue. To me it looks like maybe the light is a little too close to them, what is the wattage on it? Second thing is they look like they are starving like Marvin...At day 22 from seed...

    Please Help! Lots of Pics

    Yeah WW is the same way...got some BB free though and there is a lot of Indica in it...but it is real tall. I like to grow a lot of diff strains, so I just tie them down to keep them all the same height. It works extremely well for me as the BB is 12" and GWS is 7", yet they are all the same height.

    Please Help! Lots of Pics

    This pic is an example of how big your roots can (should) be for a healthy plant. This plant is 22 days old (from seed) and is now 7.5" tall with with roots 27" long. She is an Indica heavy strain (Great White Shark), which is the reason for her bushiness and lack of long legs. If you dont have...

    Please Help! Lots of Pics

    With your plants at there current height...your roots should be about 2+ feet long....where do you think those 2 ft are? Your roots are about 3-4" and trying to feed a plant that needs a root structure five times that size. Basically, you are starving your plants, both of nutrients and water...

    Is there really a need for a these expensive timers in aeroponics?

    I am just wondering if there is any method to the madness of a $60-$100 timers for aeroponic systems? I use a cheap $5 brinks light timer from wal mart.... 15min on 15min off....at day 16 from seed my tallest is 10" and my baby is 7" (two different strains) Is there really a need to have precise...

    Can someone explain to me how to top up a reservoir (rez)? I just don't get it...

    I know my first post up there didnt technically answer your question, rather just offered my opinion. So, if you wanted to be technical you could use a little bit of algebra to figure it out. I personally wouldn't do it this way just for the extra work it would take, but they are your ladies...

    Can someone explain to me how to top up a reservoir (rez)? I just don't get it...

    Isn't that the reason for completely flushing and changing your rez every week (or two)? I simply use a sharpie to draw a line to where the water should be in the rez, everyday when my pump is OFF, I check the level, if it is low I top it off with enough water to bring it back up. I then adjust...

    How long should the tap root be before planting in rockwool

    You should just soak them in h2o for 24 hours, put them in your RW, and let it go. If the tap root is that size already, just tear the cube in half (easy to do without messing it up), put the tap root down and seed coat up, put the other side of the cube on, then secure together with a strip of...
