    This is how they're looking so far after nearly eight weeks since transplanting.

    RDWC 24 plant system

    This was basically how it started, went from a 4 X 8 tent into using the whole room. The plants themselves didn't have the best start and near the end of week 3f they're only just getting over a P deficiency they carried over from the mom plants.

    DWC super Newbie need any help possible.

    Actually I did let them get a P deficiency as you can see from the purple stems but no more than 1ml/L should be enough. Maybe 1.5 to 2 if you really want to push it but I've managed to grow 5" plants on only a four week veg cycle with no more than 1ml/L of Micro.

    DWC super Newbie need any help possible.

    Environment is really important, growing in a tent will make things easier only if your climate control is consistent. A steady flow of air in and out of the tent is a must and how that air gets distributed in the tent is important too. Using an extraction fan up top coupled with an oscillating...

    Liquid kelp

    I use Seasol. Derived from cold climate Bull Kelp. I use it as a root stimulant in the seedling stages. Throughout the whole grow I use it along with humics to increase natural resistance. As a foliar in veg I use it to stop vertical growth and increase lateral branching.

    any help 1st time hydro

    Yer I'd flush your res and start over with plain water pH downed. Only start adding nutes when you have decent roots going. Look for the side branching on the roots to begin, if it's mainly just the tap root. They look pretty fresh. I'd keep a humidity dome on those guys till the roots set too...

    What are the "problem" nutrients in hydroponic mixes?

    Silica in liquid form (Potassium Silicate) is so alkaline I use it as a pH up once the base solution is set. Add first and pH down to around 6.5 (at least under 7 in the acidic range), the micro will drop it a bit and if you're using humics/fulvics they will drop it a fraction more. Going raw...

    Res/Nutes Change Frequency

    I've only grown in R/DWC. I used to change my res weekly, new water, new nutes. This was necessary as I was doing all kinds of weird shit to the feed ratios when I was learning. After a few grows under your belt you'll learn what the plants want. These days I don't change my res but I still need...

    First time DWC - how does my gear look?

    As soon as you can upgrade to recirculating do it. Having climate control at the root zone eliminates a lot of potential problems. The upkeep is actually a lot easier than DWC too. It may not sound like a lot of work but watering individual DWC buckets can actually become a task. The res if big...

    RDWC- does ca uptake better with lower PH or Higher???

    Like fulvics/humics are chelators for the essential nutes, Amino acids; namely Glutemic and Glycine is a chelator for Calcium. Except it works a lot better as it adds an opposing charge to the molecule so you have true active transportation of Ca into the plant. You want a good root system to...

    RDWC 24 plant system

    This is my poor mans setup, well 1/3 poor. Two thirds of this room is being lit by $30 usd floodlights. I'm a solo grower that has grown through 4 harvests. This is my fifth grow and I've gone back to basics on most things, except size of the grow. There are two strains. Gelato under the decent...

    Trichome questions.

    I looked up what a Bract was - a modified leaf or scale, typically small, with a flower or flower cluster in its axil. Bracts are sometimes larger and more brightly coloured than the true flower, as in poinsettia. So then if it's just a modified leaf than trichomes on any of the leaves should...

    Trichome questions.

    There are a few questions I have that I haven't bothered to research so I'm just going to see what people's opinions are and go from there. Is the production within the plant or on the surface of the plant? Does it make it a secretion if it comes from within the plant and if so does that mean...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    Overall if it's about quality then genetics are what should be discussed...not grow medium. Hydro has an undeniable yield advantage more for the fact the it can be harvested year round...the only true soil grows that are raking it in are outdoor farmers that have plantations. When big Aggra come...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    Soil growers can end up adding way more things to their grows than hydro growers...thousands of extra things from the microbes in the soil. So technically soil growers add way more unknown things to their plants than hydroponic growers do but like I said earlier people are adding mycorrhiza to...

    IS RDWC really better than soil? If so how?

    It's funny that commercial cannabis growers use Current Culture to grow commercially. Pretty sure the only producers that use it only grow weed and that says a lot. They've only been around since 2006 and I think the success they found with that system was unwarranted, especially for them to...

    What the community lacks most is research on the effects. It could be like a census lol.
