    DWC: Day 30 of Flower PH dropping to 5.0 for NO reason

    First time grow for me and I have had that issue a couple times. Not quite as low, but around 5.3 or 5.4 pH. Started happening right around 3 1/2 weeks into flower. Seems to be when it gets close to res change (I'm doing 5 gallon bucket) around day 5/6. I do a res change and things go back to...

    White Widow 1st grow

    One of my WW looked kinda similar to yours. This was my first ever grow, so i wondered the same thing with mine. Eventually the leaves changed shape a bit.

    Root rot Pythium help

    You want your res temps around 64-68 degrees, especially if you're running a sterile res. Now I have never ran a sterile res before, but I know it's important to keep temps down. Also, very important that NO light gets in the res. Fix any light leak issues otherwise your problem won't get...

    Choice between new lights

    I bought a prebuilt kit from Growerslights and it DOES have a dimmer. I have a 260 watt kit (QB288) HLG from Growerslights and love it. I am in a 3x3 tent as well. As Aolelon suggested, 2 of the 135watt kitts would work great for a more even coverage of the area. I am waiting on another 260...

    What's on my leaf?

    I think they can be if there are a lot or no other food source. I vacuumed and cleaned real well just in case. They haven't caused me any problems tho

    What's on my leaf?

    I ended up doing some research and asking around. Turns out it's a Carpet Beetle, just in case anyone finds any of these.

    What's on my leaf?

    It was quite small. Maybe 1/2 or 1/4 size of ladybug. I live in U.S on West coast. I tried looking it up, but cant find anything to match. All the ones I found were NOT on the plant though so I'm not sure if it is harmful or not. Still curious though =)

    What's on my leaf?

    Just found this outside my tent(in the same room). I found 2 of these 4-5 days earlier walking on the bottom of my tent and looked everywhere, but found nothing. This one was caught in a bucket of water i had out. Any idea what it is?

    What's on my leaf?

    Good to know. I might do that when the lights come on just in case. Thanks!

    What's on my leaf?

    It's possible I could have splashed something on it when changing the res. As long as no mildew or bugs! Lol. Thanks!

    What's on my leaf?

    Found this on one of my White Widow's 2 days into flower. Anyone know what it is? 4-5 days prior I did find a couple very small bugs that were bronze with dark spots(it was hard to tell) on my tent floor. Looked almost like a very small off colored ladybug. I've found nothing else on the leaves...

    DWC - White Widow 2 x 2 300w LED

    Nice looking Widow man! I am on my first grow and doing DWC with White Widow. Nice to find someone doing something similar. Very interested to see how yours turns out. Keep up the good work, those leaves look perfect!

    First grow and looking for suggestions.

    I just moved into this apartment a few months ago. Tap water comes out 0ppm measuring with my Blue Lab pen. I don't see any filter so i'm honestly not sure. It smells like there might be some Chlorine so I bubble it off to be safe. I have an extra 5 gallon bucket I fill up with an air stone and...

    First grow and looking for suggestions.

    Awesome! That's good to know. PPM is 630/670 on .5 scale. Should i be using .5 or .7? Or what do most people use? I can switch between both. Ya im NOT a fan of this 8in lid. Tbh I will probably be going with a tote next time for a bigger res.

    First grow and looking for suggestions.

    Hey all. This is my first grow and I have decided to go with DWC 5 gallon buckets(that will probably change in later grows). I haven't quite got the nutrients dialed in and thinking I might have a deficiency, or possibly too many nutes as I have some brown/yellow tips(some curl up and some...

    First Time - Seedlings to Bucket Transplant?

    I had very similar issues when starting mine. I will definitely put my seedlings in a smaller container when I do my next grow. I overwatered mine(before roots were in the water) and had low oxygen in the water. I have not personally used rockwool due to reading a lot of stories of overwatering...

    First Time - Seedlings to Bucket Transplant?

    I started my first DWC grow a month ago using 8in net pots. I put about an inch of hydroton at the bottom and placed the seedling ontop and filled the rest up with hydroton. I like this idea of setting the cube up a bit further and raising the water level until roots grow down, and lowering it...

    Do I need Cal-Mag Plus? DWC

    It's an apartment. Not a big complex though (in a residential neighborhood with just 6 or so units). It's also kinda outdated and sat vacant for a year or two before I moved in. I doubt it has a system set up, but I can't say for sure. My water basically comes straight out of the river and is...

    Do I need Cal-Mag Plus? DWC

    So I calibrated my pen, which was mostly right anyway, and water is still 0. I mean it could be 1-9 but the pen only seems to go up an down by 10s. Either way is fine. I added a half dose of Cal mag when I did a res change and have noticed the leaves get greener so I will mess with the dose. PH...
