This is the Lucas Formula website ( http://lucasformula.com ), it has a few different growing supplements they use and they go over the medium as well. I'm using the Flora Series so I use 8:16ml/gal. General Hydroponics Flora Series has their own chart you can use, (although I have heard that...

So I decided to start my nutes completely over. I don't think I was applying enough for fear of over fert, and I read not to add nutes before 3rd set of leaves but I believe this really relates to a soil or some other medium grow rather than a true DWC with no real base nutes already in the...

Thanks man, I didn't even think about doing this even though I knew the rates changed, for some reason I didn't connect the dots :wall: I'll have to dig the bill up tomorrow

Your grow is looking great so far! I'm also doing my first LED grow with a ViparSpectra 600W(pulls 270w). I'm looking forward to keeping up with your grow, keep it up

Also I think I'm doing nutes wrong. I'm using the flora series. I have been going by the chart on the back of the bottle, which states for seedlings 1/4 tsp/gal which would be 6.25ml/5gal, then I would only want to use quarter strength cause that's what I've been reading everywhere so that would...

First off, it's Memorial Day, so if there are any veterans browsing this thread just wanted to say thanks for your service! Today has been pretty good so far, woke up and checked in on my buckets and the stronger of the 2 has roots coming out the bottom of the net pot lid! They look nice and...

Dang, I thought I read to have it just inside the net pot, and then once roots get past the net pot then lower the water level 1 inch below the bottom of pot. Your way does make sense though and will try it out asap, thanks eastcoastmo

The water sits level with one(ish) layer of hydroton at the bottom of my net pot lid, the rock wool cube sits on top of that. Then more rocks around it. Whenever I touch the cube it's always moist. Should I raise the cube up so it dries out and I choose when it's watered? Was also thinking...

I know it's been awhile, but things have been pretty slow. So I germinated 2 new seeds, I started them in rapid rooters and kept them under a 120w bright white CFL bulb. They shot up like crazy! Much better than my first run, I wanted to be too involved at such an early stage of their life...

Ok guys, so I couldn't resist and just had to pull the cubes out and see how the roots were forming. The girl with bigger leafs has gone nowhere! Like literally not a mm of growth on the root, and that's with letting her almost all the way dry out then watering her. I have moved her back to...

Alright added some sm90 to both my buckets, also some h2o2. Think I should add nutes? 1/4 strength of recommended was what I was thinking? Since I started in rock wool then right into a DWC bucket and didn't start in ocean forest or something similar with nutrients already in it I thought about...

I see "damping off" quite often, what does that mean exactly? Root rot or stunted growth because too much moisture?

My grow room usually sits at 76-80F lights on and 72-74 lights off. RH is at 40% pretty consistently. I switched out the res today so I'll pick some hydrogen peroxide up tomorrow. Round 2! Going to try and fix some mistakes this go around and replace the weakest plant with this girl...

As I was trying to figure out how much h2o2 to put in my system I stumbled upon this article, the link no longer works but luckily someone posted the text to the forum. Pondering peroxide by Ed Rosenthal. Posted on Saturday, March 2 2002 12:00:00 AM Ask Ed CC35 How much hydrogen peroxide...

There isn't any light getting into my res that I can tell. I have been using city water and phing it down. The water looked cloudy when I first popped the lid off. Is it costly to be buying 10gallons of RO water a week? Since you guys have posted I've switched the water out and PHed it down. Can...

I think it kind of smells moldy, idk how though because it's only been in the res for 3 days?

I am starting to notice a weird smell in the grow room, is it the water? Is there something I should be doing to prevent the smell?

Update day 6 I have my light cycle set on from 5am-11pm then off from 11pm-5am giving me the 18/6 I was looking for, but I think I may want to change the off period during to day to conserve electricity. Any time periods work well for you? I was thinking turn off at 11am and come on at 5pm...

I feel like they are very tiny for 5 days old :(

Well they seem to have hit a stand still in growth the past 2 days, I have been running the LED 24/7 so I think I might switch it up to 18-6 to give them some rest. Hopefully I didn't kill them with the overwatering and too harsh of light
