    Rockwool dryback %?

    So, I'm new to the hydroponics game, I grew in coco for a while and handfed everything and just recently we completely switched to 4x4 fill and drain tables. Still getting the hang of it tbh but I think I'm close to having it dialed in. I'm concerned that I'm overfeeding the 6x6 hugos that I'm...

    Ebb and Flow DWC hybrid idea

    I was wondering if anyone tried an ebb and flow DWC hybrid hydroponics system. Right now I run an ebb and flow bucket system with a control bucket. The problem I have with ebb and flow is that it uses too much medium (clay pepples) and I feel like the plants don’t get as much oxygen as I would...

    Mediumless SOG

    Looking forward to my next project. Will be taking clones soon, and then do a SOG grow with no veg time in this mediumless ebb and flow set up. Will move neoprene collars with clones directly into net cups in this tray. Hope it works well.

    Scrog- Storming

    We are collecting ideas about how to build and use a two-level scrog rack in a 4x8 flower tent. We've seen the images of the huge canopy of beautiful flowers shooting through the second level, and we were sold. We know some things about it, but always see the value in seeking the counsel of...

    Ebb and flow or RDWC

    Any DIY grow light setups that could replace a 1000w HPS grow light?

    Hi there, I am currently designing a cannabis grow operation. Right now, I have 1 1000w HPS grow light for every 16 sq ft of grow space, giving each sq ft about 62.5w (close to the ideal 65w/sq ft). LED grow lights aren't really in our budget, but I've heard you can cut the cost by around 3x if...

    Green BUT droopy leaves

    How do you help a plant that’s green but has droopy leaves like the photo attached? Plants are under 750W and room temp is ~75 degrees. Photo was taken shortly after an ebb & flow cycle so I’m thinking maybe just wait and let the cube start to dry out since the leaves don’t seem to show any...
