From experience.....WAIT it out. patience. Those look like 3 to 4 weeks development minimum. Biggest mistake I made with my first good harvest was cutting of nutrients too early for flush. As others have stated flushing may not even make a difference. Ive smoked flushed and non and they were...

The experiment seems to be working. The plant looks like it is a bit larger. It has adapted from soil to hydro well. I believe my root system needed more development, and the rockwool cube maybe top watered until roots were more established.

Yes it is an experiment indeed. Its a pepper plant from a 1 gallon pot. I placed it in a bucket and got most of the soil off the roots. I more or less want to see of I can get it to thrive with the proper PH and PPM. I do attribute my failure to incorrect water level. The rockwool plugs were dry...

Well I am trying now using a soil plant as a test subject. I have rinsed off all the soil and exposed the roots. This is a small established plant. I sort of held it in the center of the netpot, roots touching bottom, and filled all around it. I am more or less trying to get something to thrive...

Ok so if I have a small plant in rockwool should it be placed on the bottom of the netpot and filled around with hydroton? Or should there be a thin layer of hydration on the netpot bottom, and then the rockwool cube? The water level should reach the bottom of the rockwool cube but not submerge it?

After nursing these tiny non growing plants for a month I have thrown in the towel. I pulled the cubes from the hydroton and made an observation. The rockwool plugs were nearly bone dry. I really think they may have died of thirst?! My water level was just beneath the netpot bottom. Perhaps I...

High temps are a problem. My tent wont drop below 81 hence the 79 water temp. I think I will abort these plants. Perhaps over PHing water is the problem? My tap water comes out at 8.3 PH. I have been letting it sit 24 hours and PHing it down to 5.5 then I add nutrients and PH it again. Maybe too...

Well I have a 350 watt LED over them. Which may be overkill. But it is a good 24" up. I can switch to cfl's and get them close. My MJ beans cost too much to start before I get this hydro down. I can start some more tomatoes, theoretically it should work the same.

So I decided to try two tomato plants before a go with MJ. Thank God I did... they look so sorry, after three weeks, I am not seeing that explosive hydro growth. I germiniated them in ph'd rockwool, and planted them into net pots. I have adjusted ph daily and kept light above them. I have...

My roots are juat starting to dip down into dwc resevoir. I notice they are brown, slightly slimy. I have some hydroguard coming, but how much peroxide (weak 3 percent) will take care of the roots in a 5 gallon dwc.

How about additives like calmag, silica, and carb products for flower fuel.

I am a hydro newbie no experience. I decided to start two 5 gallon dwc with tomato plants as guinea pigs :-) I germinated them in rockwool cubes and transplanted to dwc buckets, one plant seedling in each. Week 1 I let them sit in plain ph 'd water. Week 2....I added a little fulvex for some...

Ok good point on he soil. I will just have to buy more for my veggies. Do you think The fruiting is depleting the potassium? Even the bloom formula I have is only a 4-3-6. So here I am thinking I am nuking them with 1/4 strength, and actually I am starving them?

I must be doing something wrong. I am getting red tomatoes (on the small side) in the end. But foilage is brown/rusty and burnt to shit. Here is what I am doing: 1. Water using RO with a small taste of cal mag. I have been watering like cannibus letting soil dry up before rewatering. 2...

So you use this one pump to run 4 airstones, 2 in each resevoir? How big are your resevoirs?

Two 5 gallon dwc buckets. Approx 350 watt LED, for starters. Have more light for later but both buckets have jus healthy seedlings for now. Buckets are 5.8 PH and 78F Tent temperature and 78F water temperature

The pumps and stones that came with my 5 gallon dwc seem pretty weak. They dont seem to stir up a whole lot of water. I am considering adding one more pump and airstone to each bucket. Will this improve growth? I did buy one from the pet store, a large round disc style stone, and the smallest...

I still love my blunts, even though I have a great vaporizor. My blunt of choice is Backwoods Sweet Aromatic. Although some say they are a little harsh. I love the taste of a natural tobbacco leaf and my herb of choice. The Backwood gives me just the right amount of throat hit on the backend of...

I am not sure how to get a reading on my blue lab ppm meter. I have cleaned, and calibrated it in 2.77 ec solution. I keep getting a 0 ppm reading when I test my resevoir. It is plain ph'd tap water. My plant is only a tiny seedling. Today I changed resevoir water, and added a small amount of...

My ppm meter says zero ppm, with just the plain tap water. I have a decent blue lab brand ppm and ph pen set. The only time I get a ppm reading is of I start adding things to the water. Why is 0 ppm impossible?
