    First go at rdwc, first problem!

    I'm sure there will be people on here better to ask that question to, my take on it is that rain water has less ppms so I can put slightly more nutes into the solution, I'm around 060ppms for my rain water and my tap water is around 220ppms, also there's stuff in tap water that the plants might...

    First go at rdwc, first problem!

    Again thanks for the input, nice looking plant, I am hoping that I've just over done the megacrop feed, I'll be dialing it back down to .7 and hope to see better results.

    First go at rdwc, first problem!

    The Res solution is actually very clear so far, no smell at all, altogether my system holds around 100ltrs and I'm changing the solution every 7 days, maybe around day 3 or 4 I'll use about 4 or 5ml of the magic clean to bring my PH back down, so not much at all, I'm also using rain water from...

    Hey thanks for the reply, 1.2/5.8PH is my current parameters, first Res solution was 0.4/5.5PH , my second Res change solution I upped the EC to 0.7, i went online and found an EC table of where the optimum range should be regarding the different stages of growth, using that I set the latest...

    Hydro vs Soil test

    Thanks for the link, il going to look into them they look real neat and way better for watering evenly, I'm going to be using the wilma 18 XL, I have modified the 70ltr Res slightly with an mj1000 pumping nutes from bottom to the top creating a water fall effect for more DO.

    Hydro vs Soil test

    Hi, thanks for the reply, I'm contemplating making my own rings out of silicon vacuum hose, do you know what size drill bit would be ideal for drilling holes in the hose pipe?

    Hydro vs Soil test

    Anyone have an opinion on using mega crop all in one feed in the Wilma system?, with it being a dry powder and maybe clogging pipes and parts of the system.

    Hydro vs Soil test

    Ive read about the prominent taste/smell thing growing in soil and I'm not sure if true or not, but I'm going to find out soon enough.

    Hydro vs Soil test

    I picked the Wilma because it can be modified, seeing some of the results people were getting, also being slightly easier to use than other forms of hydro.

    Hydro vs Soil test

    Yes I think your point about progressing to hydro rings true, I've just managed a couple of soil grows and now I'm giving the Wilma system a go, in the future IL probably try more hydro systems, no more soil for me although I'll have lessons to be learned doing hydro.

    Mega crop question

    Hi, thanks for the reply, I've grown a soil grow before and still got lots of mega crop left over and had hoped I could use it in the Wilma system that I'm having a go at next.

    Does anyone have experience with Spider Farmer LED units?

    Yeah I like to believe it's the intensity of the led, making plants smaller but very Bushy, I have three fem photoperiods going, I vegged for 11 weeks thinking they were autoflowers, they are really big now that I've switched to 12/12.

    Does anyone have experience with Spider Farmer LED units?

    I got on alot better with my plants when I raised it to 24inch above my canopy, I've noticed my plants are extremely dense and bushy, my tent is 2.2m tall so I've got a bit of space to play with.

    Does anyone have experience with Spider Farmer LED units?
