    When and How to harvest romaine??

    I had the plant growing for some time, it's probably 6 or so weeks in but 2 of those my res temps were WAY too hot so no growth happened and the roots went to hell. I got things in control and for about a week now they have been taking off. White roots in a mass amount. Can someone post a...

    I've learned my lesson. (Newb info given...)

    When people say to start small, it's not because they don't want another grower in the area or don't want your producing good products, it's because this shit takes planning you have not done. I bought a 400 hps/mh set up from HTG. No cool tube. I also bought what else I needed, so I...

    pH meter vs. pH drops

    They are .8-1 away from each other and I don't know who to trust! It's like one of your best friends telling you the girl at the bar is a 10 and your other best friend telling you shes only a 6. These type of things need to be clear! LOL On a serious note, it was calibrated in GH 7.0...

    Res Temps NEED to come down!

    I've searched, read, and tried what I have found online and can't seem to find my way to success, sadly. I have 4 gallon nutrient solution tubs (2) that I need to chill somehow. Each tub is 10 gallons, but I only use 4 gallons of solution. I have a 16oz frozen bottle in each and can't stay...

    Easiest way for multiple plants in hydroponics...??

    Alright guys, i'm a bit stuck. I bought some 10 gallon totes and thought I was good with the drain/water level indicator I rigged up but I was wrong. Still am actually. I hot glued the seems and it's still a no go. I need a better rig I guess. I'm debating the square gutter technique and using...

    Rapid rooters...

    I'm on my second grow, want to start my 3rd and will be trying a new germ/prop technique. I bought a humidity dome, rapid rooter tray, and heat mat...but i'm not sure about one thing. How do you use only a few RR plugs and not pull nutrients out of the others in the tray? I obviously don't...

    My DWC Pepper Grow

    I started these a while back and they never got as far as I wanted them to...but stayed seemingly healthy. Maybe 3 weeks or so i'd say. I put them in a different pan with some hydroton and pH water under a walmart "grow light" simply to try something new. It got better. It got even better...

    How are you measuring your pH?

    I know "how" and I know the different types of systems...but what do you use, model and all? I've read people getting it 6.25 and similar but I don't understand how. My up/down kit came with a little tiny chart but they only go by whole steps, not .25 or .5 steps. The pens i've heard are no...

    I want to learn the details.

    I have recently become entranced by hydroponics as a whole, not just the medicinal plants talked about on this board, but by the process and the industry as a whole. I recently completed college with a geography degree where I focused on GIS technology and well...the field is shot right now...

    My new grow tent

    Let me preface my post by saying that I am not growing bud, this cost me 15 dollars, and my garden doesn't need the details hammered out like those of you who grow bud do. I am running a "extra wide wardrobe" from wal-mart, 6 emergency blankets, and a 400 watt MH/HPS light. The top of...

    Yellowing and Dryness...Tomato plant

    Dry leaves & Yellow spots...oops! The dry leaves seem to be anything from nutrients, heat, environment, how you look at them...`so I am not sure on that. The yellow honestly worries me a little more than the dryness. I think my lamp is too close for one...I plan on lowering my plants...

    DIY LED Panel??

    I have seen on youtube people building their own LED grow lights, has anyone done this?? They are growing anything from meds to cucumbers under them, and only using like 9 higher powered LED's. I've read a bit and it seems to be that anything over 1w LED is a waste as the extra power doesn't...

    Drip or Constant flow??

    I've got a Bubbler setup but the one thing I can't find solid answers on and can't see from pics is if the water flow from the splitter to the top of the plants should be a drip or if it should be constant. Can someone please help me out here??

    Am I Over Watering???

    I have put my small seedlings/sprouts in to my bubbler setup but they are not moving so much. Am I overwatering by putting a constant stream into the rockwool?? Should I leave the system off for a couple days until they grow a bit more so that they get some more oxygen and can handle the water...

    DWC and RDWC multi-bucket help.

    I have seen quite a few DWC setups that keeps everything on the same level height wise and I can't seem to grasp a full understanding of the system. When you have a DWC bucket system that is linked, each bucket has it's own "bath" correct? So why the resevoir? I've seen that it helps with res...
