hi all jst thought i would show off my 1 plant dont know y it has gone like this but it all started when i started killing it over watering YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO IN A HYDRO SETUP LOL :clap:

so i drained some of the water till it was sat jst under the filter basket i wil explain how to make 1 in nxt post a dwc setup :idea:

anyway i have bin using ionic hydro grow and some formulex nute solution becuz some of the stems on the fan leaves started to turn red i was told it was a nitro def(it has helped but not much dont want to over do it:sad:)i have 5lt buckets with lids u can get them from ebay from bout £10 for 2 so i went and got a air pump with 2xoutlets,airline,airstones,and the filter baskets not that hard to find.For all of that cost me bout £35 i give her bout 15mls of ionic grow then 10mls of formulex jst so the ec sits at bout 1.74 give or take a few:clap:then i check my ph level which out of my tap is 6.9 others r diff its all down to where u live.Then i use some ph down using a kids plunger out of a calpol box u can get anywhere:-Pi use rockwool medium so ionic on the back of the bottle recommends 5.6-5.8 ph which i can get using 5mls of ph down then check again and sweet it sat jst at 5.7 jst right then put my ladie back in the bucket and thats it nice and easy i use 3xcomputer fans to keep temp jst right 1 120mm in the floor to bring in nice cold air and 2x80mm fans 1 sits jst by the side but not blowing on the plant and the other is glued to my refelter blowing strat on my bulb dont know wot the temps r jst waiting for my temp moniter which finger crossed sholud b here 2morra cost me £6 form the bay then i can post the temps well goin to b starting flowing as soon as it gets here becuz i have a heater from ebay for when it goes into dark time i dont want to nuke it with a load of heat or frezze it too so when it gets here i can take recording of the temp then setup the heater so it get the same amount of heat it gets in the light time so will keep posting as much as i can becuz not many ppl use dwc and i think its a gud way of learning :clap::clap::clap::clap:thank u all for reading my post any Qs IMAG0001.jpgIMAG0004.jpgIMAG0003.jpgIMAG0002.jpg

hi all my temp senor showed up to day woop woop so fitted it and the temps when lights r on r sat bout 33.0c and lowest it has bin is 28.4c jst becuz i had the door open lol so now i know the temps i can now set my heater which has 3 settings 1st setting is jst a fan 2nd is 1000w heat and 3rd is 2000w it has a temp switch on it so when it reaches that temp it will shut off and i will b setting it at jst under 30.8c jst i was told that the heat in flowering needed to b sightly less dont know if this is right but i wil try it that way and see wot happens right now for the nitty girrty my light comes on at 7am then it will b off at 7pm 12/12 then at 8pm the heater will come on for 1hour then off again 1000w setting then 1hour off then 1hour on again jst so the temp doesnt drop to much causing stress to my ladie i hav 1x80mm pc fan that i yanked 2day which will come on at 8.30pm and then off again at 9.30 then off for hour then on again so basicly the heater is on for 1hour and the fan is on 30mins after the hour starts and that is on for 1hour so it is on for 30mins after so will record temps and post them on here for u all to see how it going on lolIMAG0006.jpgIMAG0007.jpgIMAG0005.jpgIMAG0008.jpg
