    Perhaps the best advice for hydro you will ever get

    I like cheap kids squirt bottles from the dollar store. Whoever mentioned having a glass of water nearby to clean out syringe between uses is good. Even better is the 5 pack of glass 5ml syringes on amazon. Each syringe goes with a nute. Calmag, Armor Si, and the three part. Don't let the silica...

    What could cause "drooping" in RDWC

    I 2nd losing the drip rings. You want the top half of your media to dry out for the most part, once your roots touch the water. The only moisture you should have above the waterline is splash from your airstones if you use them. I never used drip rings, I just let the splash from the stones do...

    New grow hydroponic options for hot climate...

    Could you use volcanic rocks? My growstones I used last grow were pretty much small volcanic rocks. I was concerned with the sharp edges cutting the roots but it did not seem to cause a problem. Could you get a larger, more porous stone and break it up?

    Yellowing tips of the leaves, help

    If your tips yellow they are gonna brown soon after, they wont stay yellow for long. If your top leaves start to stripe or develop large spots, then I would worry. Are the buds growing?

    food dehydrator Anyone tried drying ?

    I don't use packs, but I use this method to tell if I need to open the jars. I saw that the buds will stick together when you shake the jar until they become dry enough. If the buds stuck together I opened the jar for as long as I could, until my wife bitched that the house stunk too bad. After...

    Yellowing tips of the leaves, help

    My plants during a very similar stage as yours. Notice the tips. Ever-so slight.

    Yellowing tips of the leaves, help

    I had the same thing but it did not cause me any problems. That yellowing is so slight on the tips. Those leaves are healthy and your bud formations look good for day 14. So don't sweat it. Like Budz said, probably just the change. Maybe ever-so slightly hot on the mix but again its so slight I...

    food dehydrator Anyone tried drying ?

    Man that shit will smell like cut grass. If you want to dry a small sample that would be ok, but not your whole harvest.

    First Grow Newbie Bubbleponics

    Interesting use of vinegar. I like the candle! My only thing is I would be scared to leave it burn unattended, but that it probably just the paranoid side of me. It sounds like you are kind of going the same route I was. I used the exact nutrients and hydroguard you are using now. Color of...

    First Grow Newbie Bubbleponics

    Nice. I was thinking about just running a simple fridge filter for my next grow. I did really well with tap water so I don't see a reason not to use it. I am only like 80-100ppm from the tap though. What questions do you have? Lose the vinegar, you are using it for PH down right? Get some real...

    What's your EC or PPMs?

    I don't even think snipping here and there all the way to the end is a big deal. Worked out well for me. You hit the nail on the head with the major trimming intervals though.

    Brown spot/orange hairs

    Your humidity is probably going to shit when your lights turn off, so make sure that you crank your exhaust fans as soon as lights out. I am assuming what the video says is about that.

    What's your EC or PPMs?

    I ran 650 max in flower using my rdwc and GH trio, silica and calmag. Any higher threw tips. There is nothing wrong with using GH Trio, only opinions and preference.

    Bubble bucket random plant starts drying.

    I have read that problems with getting close to the minimum temperature for the plant will show up very quickly.....as in overnight. You should usually prune off dead leaves since they tend to attract bugs and fungus as they decay and die.

    Hydroguard Tea (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens)

    I saw the best results when using multiple strains of bacteria, ie hydroguard and orca together, so I would not say they fight. Before I got my chiller, my res got awful hot like 80 and I did not have any problems. Made me wonder if I even needed the chiller but anyway... As far as the tea, I...

    Shit, yeah. Right on. I mis-spoke. K will drive your PH down. Thanks for clarifying.

    How long can you hang the whole plant?

    No problem. Good luck on your harvest. Those last few days really crawl by.

    Low RH in 3x3 tent. how to raise it?

    Ok. If you clear out foliage that will help keep your RH down too, when they get bigger. If you must, I imagine a small humidifier like you would use for a baby would work well. Amazon also has a bunch of good ones.

    What's the Best Way to Store Weed Long-Term?

    Science makes things simple. If you don't want oxygen to degrade your stuff, then store it somewhere else other than in oxygen. Cold and dark are good too.
