Leafs pointing down dwc

Yea that's ok. But off memory i think grow2019 said he is using one of those dual outlet pumps. Not sure what his flow rate is but i started out in Dwc with one and they are piss weak. Well my one was anyway.

Well you're just an anominloy contradicting everything I say. Ask any other DWC or RDWC prerson and they will tell you not to fully submerge your roots you absolutely CAN overwater in dwc. You can check with CCH2O as well as Alien Hydroponics and both companies will confirm to not fully submerge roots

I'm not picking on you. I think your giving advice when you don't know whats actually going on. If your drowning your plants in Dwc then you don't have enough air to roots. Simple. I think youll find they say that because it's supposed to have something to do with the root development. Not drowning your plant lol. And I said thats how I do it. And have been doing dwc very successfully for 3 years now.

Grow2019 sorry but i can't tell you wether or not you should run with 1 or 2 air stones as i dont know what flow you have from your pump. As for the ph side of things: dont adjust ph. In fact dont even look at ph when using ph perfect. I know it's strange, and I thought the same. But trust me man. And young seedlings definitely need roots fully in the water as you do not have top feed to keep roots wet. You wont drown them if you have sufficient bubbles lol. And thank me later wink.

I have a top fin 4000 from pet smart dual it's seems to work

3 years... And a master grower alresdy! All of us old heads should bow down

More oxygen for my plant make's more sense I will add 1 more air stone, if there is enough oxygen in the water it's seems to me that my roots can be submersed in them thanks

I don't see why your getting your panties in a twist here. I didnt say ive only been growing for 3 years, i said ive been growing in dwc for the past 3 years. Do you not think that was bad advice telling grow2019 that 1 airstone "is sufficient"? Or dont fill the bucket up too high or theyl drown!? And why does grow2019 need to adjust his ph? Hes using ph perfect! And your trying to make out i think im a master grower!!? Theirs nothing master to it.

Lol I started growing for a Hobbie just want the best for my friends

Dwc is a great place to start i think. Youll find ph perfect will make it easy for you. And yes it's a great hobby. Stuff buying it when you can grow your own for a fraction of the price. And I'm no master grower lol. But I do conistently grow some nice healthy bud using this method. Maybe later on down the track look into trying scrog. Your yields will increase once you have the basics under control!!

Thanks again everyone also hydro 4 life for your suggestions on ph perfect plant is loving life , drinking tons of water up ppm to 800 today sent some pics should I take off some larger fan leafs

Really how hard can it be for some people to understand ? they get told so many times and even start discussions about it. They buy ph perfect nutrients and then start fiddling with the ph and get all sorts of problems ! those nutrients are highly chelated to be available at a much wider ph range other than the normal hydro range ! STAY YR HANDS OFF THE SOUR with those nutes ! when seedling it should be plain RO and at feeding start just 1/4th ph perfect that's it
