You need to use cal mag plus when using RO water. I learned the hard way. If you have a heat problem it will be because of your black buckets and lids. That black will suck the heat right in. Krylon makes a plastic specific spray paint, white would be nice. just a thought
Like stated before make sure you are not getting light into your rez. You want your temps to be 68deg or below. I was using half pint mason jars filled with water and frozen but now I use 16 oz. water bottles frozen to cool my rez. I use 5 gal buckets and throw a new bottle in each rez at the...
6 is bettter!! Have you calibrated your meter lately? Mine has to be calibrated all the friggin time. How are your rez temps? With the lucas formula I have to add cal mag. Not saying thats your problem. Give them some time to recover now that your parameters are getting better.
Listen to me here. You now have to raise your ph to 5.5-6.0. Your plants are going to be fucked up until you get the fact that it is important. Certain nutes lock out at different ph levels. Maintaining a ph of 6.9 or 5.0 in hydro is NOT maintaining it correctly. Adjust your ppm/tds to an...
I do DWC and I took the lids off tonight to start flushing and to my surprise there was families of these fucking things inside my DWC buckets. I had them in my veg room and used the sticky traps. They worked well for me because I set them in a place that my fans blew the gnats into the traps.
My dispensary had a mite problem. I used a clear sterilite 18gallon container drilled some 2" holes in the sides filled those with poly fill and cut a 12x12 square in the lid and covered with screen. Toss in a bunch of ladybugs and let em feast. Its my quarintine box for clones. Spidermites are...
I skimped on my ph meter and bought the Milwaukee one. I WOULD NEVER SKIMP AGAIN on such an important piece of a grow. These things are ticking time bombs.
pm sent. I am having the same trouble with our hot weather. I have been using half pint jars filled with frozen water do to lack of space in my buckets because of root mass. I was gonna use 16oz bottled water frozen but they are so big and I dont know if the roots should be sitting on a frozen...
I have this situation with my almost 10 yr old. I am a caregiver so obviously im leagal but I still dont want anybody to know what I do on my property. She is very interested in plants and gardening as well as I have raised her around my green thump of aquarium and house plants. I think it would...
Whats the rez temp? Whats the room temp? My DWC plants get droopy if my rez temps get higher than normal. With DWC make sure you top off as well. I dont know if you are but it is crucial. My plants suck down 2-3gallons of water every couple days and the tds will sky rocket to 2000 plus. Maybe...
Wow! In an indoor grow do you think they are gonna sniff out aphids that dont exist and not eat the eggs and the mites? In an indoor grow how will they escape a properly set up space? Im sure while they are sniffing out delicious aphids they will not pass up a meal of mites/eggs. Most grows on...
Ladybugs are simply spectacular. If you are getting webs and an infestation that bad you need to be paying more attention to your girls. Ladybugs do eat spider mites, there eggs and a whole barrage of other mites as well. A 1000 ladybugs in a space that size isnt going to cut it in 2 weeks my...
I had my ww grls get really tall as well. I just slowly tied the branches down and all the bud grew up it worked out amazing. Plants are now 5ft tall and 6+ft wide. It made me wish I had about 6 more hps to get some good light coverage.
