Ah, I thought the ratio had to be strict. And I've never ran full strength, just half. Full strength npk numbers seems insane!

Sure I get that plants need N in all stages of growth, but my npk is 20-18-38 and I have about 3 weeks of flower left....

Thanks! Any products or brands that have calcium sulfate or calcium chloride? And any info on ratios?

Yeah but the calcium nitrate is 15.5 N. Doesn't that mean my actual npk is 19.5-18-38?

Hi all, this is my first dwc run. I've been using Master blend tomato formula, along with magnesium and calcium (the basic trio). A lot of people talk about reducing nitrogen while in flower. Should I be cutting back the calcium in my ratio? This is where the nitrogen is coming from. If so...

I've had my Quantum PAR Meter since March 2024

It works great. Honestly I think they're all going to be a little off unless you calibrate them with expensive tools. As long as It's off consistently that's all I care about

I have seen the Beto Dutch buckets come in either black or beige. I have seen a lot about how Roots do not like light. These beige buckets look like they would let light in especially when used with a net pot. So, Roots being exposed to light is not that big of a deal or there's some sort of...

awesome, thank you again so much. Being that I want to have one Rez and multiple sites that span 2 tents, I'm thinking of a simplified Dutch bucket system. One Rez, some type of manifold to feed drip lines to airpots filled with hydroton and a simple drain connected to the saucer that's...

Got it. So we want the female fitting on the inside. Makes sense. Thank you!

I'm thinking of doing this too. One res feeding 3-sites all with different strains, different flower times, photo AND auto. lol Am I asking for trouble? I'll be using Masterblend.

oh man! would love to see more of the schematics of this setup! What to the tops/net pots look like?

Thank you! Here's a direct link in case anyone is reading. They just don't include the Dutch bucket, which ironically is the one that seems to suit me the best.

ok good to know. Anyone use teflon tape on the threads?

Good to know. Looking at those plastic threads, they don't strip easily?

Definitely. Once I figure out the type of hydro that works for me. Then, i wouldn't mind shelling out the duckets!

Ye Thanks, I'll save that in my cart still $100 for 4 buckets but it is what it is i guess

Can anyone recommend a good resource or video that explains and compares all the different forms of hydro? I've been doing a lot of YouTube University stuff but it's so random. I see there is non-liquid Hydro like growing in coco or hydroton, then there's the plumbing stuff like dwc, rdwc...

Thank you! I spent about 6 hours today doing research and pricing out a- three-site our dwc system. The price of the buckets, PVC, elbows, is just ridiculously expensive. And that's with the conduit bulkheads. The legit bulkheads are crazy expensive. If I knew knew this system would last me a...

I'm using my gram scale that I use for my master blend fert to measure the shock. I'm doing .1g of shock for 12oz water. Based on my calculations is the same as 1g per gallon of water. Then, 6ml of that solution per gallon of water. I run 3gal of water in my 5gal dwc bucket, so, 18ml of...
