    Cooling the solution in DWC

    This is a cooling unit I’ve built to control the solution temp of my DWC buckets. In the right foreground you you see a pink box. That is ducting (made of Owens Corning pink) surrounding my AC unit. At the bottom of the ducting you may be able to see the round flex ducting that send the cool...

    Can you put the carbon filter out of the tent?

    Hydroponics and PPM

    If you’re using a feeding chart, just remember the entity that made the feeding chart makes their money off the nutes you use. Especially early in the grow, I use 1/3 the suggested amount. My results support this approach.

    buds are top heavy!

    Ditch the bamboo stakes. Bamboo carries mildew. You do not want that in your grow room.
