    Tiny black bugs crawling near roots and open wound

    So a week ago a branch I had trellised broke from the pressure. So this afternoon I'm in the garden and I see tiny black bugs crawling around the wounded area. Can anyone help me identify. I'm running a rdwc system and don't see any other plants with this issue. It seems they like where the...

    Top cola mold

    My last 2 runs I've been plagued with mold at the stem after harvest. I also didn't have reliable instruments that logged Temps and RH like I do now. So knowing my RH at harvest may have went over 60% at a temp around 60 last run, I made sure this time to get it dialed exactly to that. Harvested...

    Ph keeps dropping rapidly

    So it's day 31 and just before the day 21 strip I was noticing my leaves were going light green on me so I added 25% mag to my feed because I run leds.

    Pollinated or not to chop or not chop

    So in week 2 of flower 2 outta 5 of my plants hermed. This week is week 4 and another plant hermed on the lowers. My question is does it seem like my other plants got pollinated and should I chop the affected area and hope for the best with the rest. Only maybe 10 or 12 buds have orange or brown...

    Rdwc troubleshooting

    So I've completed my 5 tote system with waterfalls in each tote. I did a leak test and noticed my waterfall pump drained my res before my chiller pump could fill it back. My questions are did this only happen bc I only partially filled my totes? Or do I need equally strong pumps on each end?
