    Cant find what is wrong

    That does look weird. I'd second re-calibrating your meters... As for less is more.. it's always best to start out weak until your plants tell you otherwise. You can fix def far easier than tox.. well no.. that's not true, you can fix them both easily, but the tox will do more dmg. That said...

    Rdwc beginner issues. Any help is majorly appreciated :)

    Upgrade to a 200l reservoir. The bigger the res, the less the pH swings. Don't add so much nutrient. You don't need to follow bottle instructions to the letter. Anything, and I mean anything, you buy to place in your hydroponic setup, use at half strength to begin with. A, so you don't nuke...

    Commercial RDWC

    A large scale RDWC seems like a lot of moving parts to me. Why not use a bog standard flood and drain setup? You get all the aeration you need with the drain and you can bubble the shit out of the res. It's just a lot less things to break imo and a hell of a lot less water. I'm not talking about...

    I have a ventilation question.

    So where is the second exhaust fan venting to? Is that just being used to scrub the air without actually 'venting' it? I'd say using the small closet as your breather room will just end up causing problems. Breather rooms need to be fairly large and have decent flow of their own. Why not just...

    What humidifier should I use

    I think you've got your humids back to front my man. I have never ever had call for a humidifier. De-humidifier... sure...I wear them out. But humidifier... nope. You certainly don't want to be using a humidifier for drying. If you are replacing the air in the room regularly, I can't see you...

    pH Meters

    Yep, that's the guardians gig. It's so useful just to be able to pop your head round the door and get an instant readout. Get the combo meter then. I've never had one, but after owning the guardians, that would be my meter of choice. They're not cheap, but neither is replacing cheap meters all...

    Fried my banana og clone

    It doesn't look burned.. more like it's dried out. If you let the roots dry out, it'll take some time to recover. You're not feeding them anything are you? The lamborghini looks like it has an Mg def. It could be that the other one was more sensitive to it. I would try some cal/mag or some epsom...

    Outside plant UK

    Just to add to that.. getting it to finish early.. and harvesting it early when it isn't finished.. are two very different things. You'll get a, to my mind, fairly unpleasant rushy high if you chop early. Just not worth it. If you can get some clear plastic, maybe build a bit of a makeshift...

    Outside plant UK

    The quality isn't great on the pictures but it kind of looks like some of it has gone to seed? That's not entirely bad, provided it's just a couple of buds. You'll have some more seeds. It's a shame you didn't come and seek some advice a while ago because there's a lot you could have done with...

    Which bloom booster ?

    :clap:You're literally the prime demographic for big bud. One grow under your belt and throwing additives at your plants trying to improve your yield. :roll:Like I said at the very start.. get your feeding schedule right and you won't need boosters... when that is dialled in.. add some PK, but...

    Which bloom booster ?

    Sigh. I didn't say it was a crock of shit. I said it works because it is PK.. the same as allllll the other ones work... because they are PK. I've used it. It works. I've used 13/14. It works. I've used King Kola. it works. They all work.. because they're all the same thing. You obviously are...

    Hard water.. Scaling. Distillation question

    Are you sure the build up is the solids in the water and not your nutes? I get buildup a couple of places in my system and it's just salts. Is there any need for the pantyhose? That's quite a small mesh size.. surely dissolved solids aren't going to ruin your pumps, at least not before the...

    Which bloom booster ?

    Ahh yes.. I joined 3 hours ago so I must have started growing 3 hours ago too. If you like big bud.. throw your big bud in.. fact is, it does nothing more or less than any of the other boosters and the only reason they do that is because of the PK. Anything else is just marketing, which is...

    Need to be pruned more?

    I'm a big advocate of defoliation, but with it being your first grow, you're better off not doing it. Reason being, they act as a buffer between a bad feed and losing your plants. You'll notice most deficiency/toxicity in the fan leaves first and the plant can use them as reserves. If you're...

    1000w simple closet grow

    Umm.. wot?! :confused: I'm pretty sure you're trolling here but I'll bite anyway! 8-) :clap:I had to look up "Schwazzing" because I've never heard it called that.. but yep, severe defoliation in flowering is most certainly not BS. As for not getting plants as big.. your plant has already done...

    1000w simple closet grow

    It's not that you can't get the same yield with less plants.. it's about efficiency. If you are doing perpetual or commercial growing, flowering rooted clones is just the fastest way to go.

    1000w simple closet grow

    Lookin good! Only thing I would say is do two lots of defoliation, and do them well. 2-3 weeks in and 2 weeks from the end. Both heavy.. Take off every fan leaf and anything blocking light from lower sites. Most people are reluctant and don't take enough off. Don't do any defoliation in between...

    I want to make clones! :)

    Best bet is to re-veg them after harvest and then take cuts. Taking a cutting off a flowering plant might result in some weird ass plants, not to mention it will be harder to get them to root. You'll have to find a way to increase the light cycle obviously, so bring them inside and get them back...

    Which bloom booster ?

    Nothing. Get your feeding schedule right and you don't need to add a thing. If everything is dialed in, add a bit of PK. There's a lot of products out there that are all the same thing and they're all P and K.
