This is the air pump I have for running 2 buckets. I have the other 2 ports hooked up to the top drip. I definitely could add another airstone. Is this pump too weak with just 1 stone...

Haha no idea. I actually just ordered some solution to calibrate it. I would hope a bluelab pen would be accurate 3 weeks out of the box. It only seems to go by 10's though

Overwatering was the culprit for sure. I had my water basically touching the net pot with roots in the water. When I fed her it got even worse. Once I lowered the water a bit and fed her she perked back up within a couple days. Now im just messing with the PPM's to see what she likes =) Thanks...

This is the dilemma i'm in. From what I have read, Cal-Mag is a great supplement if using RO/distilled water because a lack of calcium/magnesium(or anything in the water). Since I am using tap water I keep hearing NOT to use Cal-Mag. I have looked up a water report for my city but haven't been...

Hey all I'm currently doing my first grow and I decided to go with DWC. I have 2 plants going right now. One is still a seedling and the other is early veg. I am using GH Flora Trio series with tap water (tap water comes out of faucet 0ppm). I have been told to cut out the Cal-Mag Plus since I'm...

Yes, thank you! That's kind of what I was thinking, but find it odd to feed such low amount. I guess if that's all she needs, it'll save me money :)

I was originally at around 130ppm and a day later was 120. That's when I added a bit more when I topped her off and brought it to 150. I checked it 16 hours later and still the same. I will keep an eye on it. No, still the seedling schedule. Early veg still shows equal parts micro/grow/bloom. Do...

Once I dropped the water level down a couple inches I started to use the drip ring more. Is it fine to leave it on 24/7 or should i only do it for a few hours a couple times a day? The 220ppm is what I added way too early. I actually started a little less than 1/4 strength and am up close to 1/2...

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out their website and see what's in it.

Well...I decided to put 220ppm nutrients in right as the leaves opened. I realized that was quickly changed it out. I burnt one of the cotyledon leaves so one side is a little smaller than the other. Ya I can smell the chlorine in the water so I try to bubble it off over night.

Here are the latest pics taken today. I keep pH right around 5.8. Some of the tips look to be a little 'burnt' or discolored. I moved the lights up a few inches. Is that from the light or something to do with nutrients?

I already burnt her once so I guess im a bit reluctant lol. I will mix up some 1/4 strength, thanks! I dont have any filter installed so not sure how it comes out 0ppm, but i'm not complaining =) The city did just build a new water plant though

Ya my tap water is 0ppm. I added nutes to bring it up to 120.

Just tap water that comes out 0ppm. Right now ppm is 120. I was gonna wait a day or so to see how she responds as well as if ppm goes up or down. Should I add more now, or wait and see? I've always read to start light and bump up if needed. Gotcha. I will drop out the Cal-mag when i change the...

@JSB99 Wow so much info, thanks! First off, thanks for taking the time to reply and helping me out! So the roots are already in the water(I started her in this system) and actually almost to the bottom of the res. When I read your post it got me thinking and I realized the issue REALLY started...

I have ruled out light as the issue and am thinking more of a nutrient problem. On Sunday she drooped even more so I changed out the res with no nutes 0ppm water and left for a day. Nothing really changed so I added about 1/8 nutes(20ppm) just to have something in the water. I switched my setup...

Hey guys. This is my first grow and have a small issue that looks to be too much light(I adjusted the light up to 24in from 18in) My setup: Quantum Board 260watt kit now 24in above 3x3 tent 5 gallon bucket w/ 3 gal res pH 5.8 PPM 60 (just did a res change and it's now 140. I am using tap water...

Thanks! It's at the bottom right next to reply. I didn't have it either until i posted a couple times or was a member for a few days.

I am not sure to be honest. I am on my first grow and they are still seedlings LOL. I will be following to see if someone more knowledgeable will know. There isn't a ton of info out there about these Quantum Boards so I still have a lot to learn.

I just asked a very similar question. @Stephenj37826 suggested starting at 24". I have seen many people say 18"-24". I have the 260 watt qb288 kit. Are you talking the HLG Quantum Boards?
