    Coco, chocolope scrog attempt..

    So I am 1 month into 12/12 with this, and I would like any tips anyone could give me regarding trimming some more under the screen this late in flowering, as well as help diagnosing a problem I have. The pic of the leaf that has damage to it "I think" was caused by not getting enough run off...

    Organic PK booster?

    Hi folks, I am starting up a soil grow again, because it requires much less maintenance than hydro, and I was wondering what a good PK booster would be for an organic soil grow. With coco and DWC I used PK 13/14, with fantastic results (once i figured out when to use it properly). This round...

    How to dose citric acid?

    I am using just the citric acid powder crystals, and RO water... No sugar. My PH meter take forever to give me a reading after mixing the PH crystals into the water. I am tempted to say screw organic and use Hydro PH down, but I would prefer not to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

    How to dose citric acid?

    Hey folks, I just got some powdered citric acid, and I was wondering how should i dose it out? I am used to the Liquid PH down and doing it a few drops at a time, but with this powder that is not possible. The last thing I want to do is use too much.

    Topping off question (using RO)

    DWC has proven to be a pretty big learning curve, but I found that when I top off with pure RO water, my PH stays pretty darn close to the 5.8 I set it at! Just figured I would throw that oout there, since someone might be able to use the information in this thread.

    New To Growing could use a littel help

    if you do not clean your DWC buckets/tub weekly, I would highly advise reading, and doing this: https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/361430-dwc-root-slime-cure-aka-8.html still though, regular weekly cleaning is best with DWC. And expect to spend a good hour or two daily to get your DWC PH...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!! This tea has saved my DWC stand alone bucket system! I have literally seen a night and day difference in just under two weeks. Although im sure it has been stated, am I supposed to get rid of my tea's after 1 week or refrigeration, and make a new batch? I...

    PH help

    I experienced massive PH shifts in DWC myself, using tap water. I switched to RO and the PH shift slowed drasticly. Now I use 1/2 RO and 1/2 tap water, since i was getting deficiencies using pure RO (Even though i added cal-mag for 200ppm water). It helps to aerate the tap water about 24 hours...

    T5 lighting?

    I would not get my T5's from lowes, because they (to my knowledge) do not sell High output T5's. If I were you I would order at least six 54W 6500K T5 bulbs, so you have a couple of spares if they are ever needed. Usually your local hydro shop will have them, but I personally bought my HO T5's...

    New To Growing could use a littel help

    I would suggest you find a hurricane lanterns glass tube, and use it to make your own cooltube, and to use a 150W HID bulb in it, and use a computer fan for your intake and exhaust.. Also put a few coats of white paint (Bher titanium white) on that black metal. Somewhere online is a great guide...

    T5 lighting?

    How many T5 bulbs fit in each 4ft fixture? It is my personal opinion that you would be far better off looking into Phillips HPS retro white (AKA ceramic metal halide) for veg, because It will produce shorter inter-nodal spacing compared to T5's. But, T5's are definitely a decent solution for...

    Are there any GOOD small (6-8in) 120v Oscillating clip on fans?

    Well, I now have the small fan situation under control. I could not find any decent 120v small oscillating fans, so instead I bought a bunch of the fans for your car at wally world. They were $9 each, and they require an adapter to run. I solved that problem by going online and ordering a 120v...

    Are there any GOOD small (6-8in) 120v Oscillating clip on fans?

    Thanks for the response! I actually use the 12v oscillating fans from wal-mart, but they stop working way too fast. I am looking (if there is one) for a 120v oscillating fan. So far I have found http://iapcooling.com/holmes-hacp10b-u-oscillating-personal-clip-fan/ but I can not figure out...

    Are there any GOOD small (6-8in) 120v Oscillating clip on fans?

    Hi folks, I have been using clip on fans made for the car, with either 120v to car cigarette conversion plug ins, or I have been cutting the power cord and using a radio shack AC/DC plug in. Either way the fans do not last long at all. I was hoping some of you had a place where you bought...

    Topping off question (using RO)

    I would like to know, if there are any RO water users out there that could help me out on how to properly refill my 5gal DWC buckets. My main question is: Do I use pure water, or do I add cal-mag to the water that I add? Usually if my PH has dropped any, I use just plain old RO, and if it has...

    Question about RO storage tank

    I have been using a 5 stage RO system for a while now, and lately i seem to have less time to collect the water I need. My RO storage tank is about 2.5 Gallons, and I use it to fill up 1 five gallon bucket at a time (and I use 25-30 gallons of RO water a week). I was wanting to know if anyone...

    Any 1 Know What Strains are Good & not Good to Top???

    Although I do not have experience from a large variety of strains, I can agree with the earlier statement that White Russian does not like the topping/fim, PERIOD. Also, Jillybean and blueberry did well with topping. The verdict is still out on chocolope, will post what I observe in my own...
