Tap water is usually fine unless it's high PPM. It may be going yellow because it has no nutrients with just tap water. My clones usually do this before I start adding nutes, then they go back green again. You also don't need a float valve when doing RDWC to keep your water level the same if...

62-68F Use some frozen water bottles or ice packs. Insulate your coffee can too. You can grow without a PPM and a PH meter. I've been growing with just aquarium testing PH drops and just measuring out my nutrients. Adding fresh water is it goes down and changing it out every 10 days or so...

It's normal. It's from the plants perspiring the water out of the res. That makes the PPM concentration higher. You can just add fresh PHed water to keep the PPMs constant.

Are those air diffusers the same thing as those bubble curtains? Rubber tube with holes in it? Or is it like soaker hose? I'm been meaning to try some of that.. That's what krusty buckets used I think.

60.. wow.. I've always heard 68 as the number thrown around. What's the root shock low? How low is too low? I put a heater in my cab cause it was going to 52F at night air temp, and the res was dropping to 58F at night.. up to 62F in the day for the res. With the heater keeping the air temp...

I'm no pro, so take it for what it's worth, but I don't pay attention to light proofing for shit. I don't let HIDs bath my res, but I definitely don't light proof it.. my drain tubes in my veg cab are even clear. The water moves around enough, algae doesn't grow. I have a pond outside my house...

Thanks! I thought my DWC girls would stretch more into flower. I guess since they were already the size they were they don't stretch as much. More mature, more ready to flower I guess.. Just like a seed from 12/12 will still veg.. I'm guessing from the hormones or something. They may have a...

Thanks Tal. Looking forward to trying this AK-47, haven't had it in about 6 years. Bubblegum I always wanted to try, and wouldn't ya know it, never seen it to buy around here, but I manage to find a bag the other day. Search for it my whole life.. finally my first grow is almost complete, and...

Bud shots. AK-47 2 weeks away. If you take a look make a comment please!

Some more pics of my girls. Overgrew my veg chamber faster than expected so I set-up a 2 bucket ODWC (Overflow DWC) which is my take on DWC that I explained a few posts back, in my bud closet. Still have a couple girls almost done in sunshine #4 in there. Took a couple pics of the AK-47 bud...

Good looking start. I'd getthe power bar off the floor though. When there's water around it's always a good idea to keep power off the floor.

Here they are in their new home. Some of the shoots that got used to resting on the walls in the veg cab are a bit droopy, but I imagine they will stiffen up and reach for the light pretty quick time. I've got one bubblegum and one AK-47 in soil there in behind the DWC. The AK back right is 42...

Yep. Just my veg cab. I have a full 10 foot ceiling closet for budding under a 1000W. Gonna have some big girls! I'm working on it right now. Just filled my bud res up and it's pumping into the buckets full of nutes right now! I'll take some pics of them once they're settled into the bud closet.

Thanks, It's an Avacado tree! But I ran out of room for it and some flying things were living in it's soil so I took it out and put it by a window.

These guys have been vegging for about 5 weeks. Started in single little buckets. First DWC. I now have a recirc system. Different than most though I think. I have a manifold pumping into each bucket, then it overflows out and back into the res at the right level. With young plants I put the...

Seems to me they can handle a wide range in DWC. I burned one of my plants a little while after my first seeds sprouted in Sunshine#4 with some nutes I mixed. Later on I discovered a couple male plants and eliminated them, but I experimented with the clones. I hadn't done any DWC yet but I put...

I didn't realize that most use a float valve when doing RDWC. I did mine differently. I just pump the nutes into each bucket from a manifold and let it overflow out at the right level. With young plants I take the squirter out of the bucket and put it up in the hydroton to keep the roots wet...

looking good! My nutes stain my leaves a bit brown. My frist DWC too. 4th week in veg also Just about 5th. Took the tops as clones last night from the two bubblegums. The smaller AK47 is a bit younger. Why cut fan leaves though? More photosynthesis to convert more nutrients to make more...

Yes, I've been thinking about cutting down my power usage, though it isn't too much. I may run my fan on a timer with a dimmer so it goes onto a slower speed when lights are out. As it is though, it's under 1500W. The baseboard heater beside me is 3150W, and the one in the dining room is also...

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go about 45 watt. -Edit: just saw your post snocat. Hmm.. Maybe I'll try those flexi bubble wall tubes? They make much smaller less turbulent bubbles. My roots will also be quite established from 2 months of veg.. So I dunno if that'll make a difference. Can...
