LMAO ok there bud.Per the expert growers from advanced nutrients its 18 inches from the top of the plant.
I have to say talking to them 20 min. I learned more then I did in 3 months of YouTube videos and reading. Gave me ALOT if insight on what to do and when. So I'm extremely happy with the way they look. Roots are very long already and down in the pals.
Haven't had an issue yet with my water temp. But I'm thankful for the input I'm sure it will be coming up soon.One thing that's worked for me was to cover the tops of the net pots with reflective HVAC tape. My light was heating up the black plastic and in turn heating up the water. After I covered them with the tape my temp dropped almost 10 degrees lights on and the temp is more constant now. I use the 6" because they require less hydroton, not sure how effective this would be with larger diameter net pots though due the smaller surface area around the pebbles. I might someday cover the whole bucket, but I'm guessing there might be a better way that I haven't found yet.
Ya I noticed the ph is very jumpy. Mine went to the low end so I had to add ph upGood luck on your grow, I'm on my first dwc grow myself, the most important thing so far is I need to check my ph and ppms dailey left them alone for a few days and I got nutrient lockout ph was way to high I just switched to advanced nutrients myself good luck.
O I dont mind, like my ladies I'm taking in as much as I can with everyone's help.I'm not that far ahead of you, 1st DWC (turned RDWC after week 3) and learning more almost every day. I'm on week 8 of my feed schedule which means I've just started my 4th week of 12/12. I really didn't have my tent dialed in until about 3 weeks in but now it's kind of on cruise control apart from defol stuff. I really just want a bigger tent now, and more buckets, lights, and BUDS!
I hope you don't mind me posting a few things on your thread, just trying to help with some stuff that's worked for me on the cheap. I had all the same questions and issues going on only a few weeks ago. This is a great place to learn. Looks like you're getting the hang of it
I am trying to dwc by reading and watching other on line.Week 3 of veg. The girls are looking good. My purple kush is finally getting some grow on. Roots are looking great. The foam is from my nutrients I guess. Or that's what I been told by the advanced nutrients hotline. Still very proud of how they are coming along. Everything is on a timer or thermostat. Using a zoo med hydrostat. Controls the heat and humidity. And my fan is running on a cheap heat/cool thermostat I got on Amazon. Mostly runs fine on it's own but I am checking ph and ppms everyday and its 5.8 to 6.01 the ppm is at 1430 the water is about 64 to 68 ° f its probably to late to do it now. But did I have to take the rockwool off? I was told to just leave it in the rockwool and just start growing.
This is all I am using. I'm not sure what your asking me. II am trying to dwc by reading and watching other on line.
what do u use for ph control?? Natural?? using hydroguard for beneficals. have one unknown sat and
crystal autoflower from NIRVINA
You have short list of additives that kill your hydroguard?? Im using mostly botanicare stuff. TIA, Harold okie
