Cheers Potroast! Good to meet a fellow water hauler. I have 12 plants in one of those blue kiddie pools...running a aero/fog set up. how would you go about distributing the nutrient tea (in res)? And did I mention I'm doing a vert-setup with 2000w in a diy cooltubes. Im having trouble fully seeing it through in my head . Your experienced advice is always respected and appreciated. Thanks Potroast.

I can answer that in PR's absence. The best way to give nutrients is through your res when using a fogger. Be warned though that some organic nutrients will clog a fogger easily so make sure to keep an eye on your res, fogger, and your plants to make sure this doesn't happen. I like the idea of using a kiddie pool, I had never thought about doing that. I would like some pictures if possible because I will make a killer sog out of that idea

I change my res every week to a new strength of 3 part grow micro bloom flower stage, do you think this is too often or is it good to chang flower stages every week

I'm looking for a complete grow system. Start to finish, one that is as undetectable as possible. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I just built my grow room I have lights and the whol shazbang now got to decide on a system which woul be best andwhere should I look for your basic step by step for said system? Thanks alot I want to haul water.

Everyone worries about res temps & unless you have a chiller then the frozen water bottle is your best freind. So here's the question:
Has anyone ever used water mixed with salt to bring temps down. I ask because I found that you can actually freeze beer in a cooler if salt is added to the ice. Since the bottles are sealed it should be ok, shouldn't it?

NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

Ok here is my scenario. I have 2 plants in a DWC bubbler set up and they both have stopped growing almost completely. They are still alive but are really shriveling up and very small and bushy. They are both feminized autoflowering bubblelicious from nirvana. They are 3 weeks old and only about 3 inches tall with lots of leaves. I am using fox farms trio as nutes. I have tried everything from lowering the nute ppm, changing the water, blah blah blah. I have tried everything, trust me. The last thing I was going to try and the last thing I can even think of is NOT using tap water. I have been using tap water, yes. I am assuming that maybe my tap water is no good for hydro.

Anyway, I just changed the water out (AGAIN) this time using distilled water. I have the system running with ONLY ph'd distilled water and NO nutes at all, just water and bubbles. How long should I leave them before I start slowly adding nutes? If anyone could help me try to revive my plants I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it. I will take any help I can get at this point.

When we Tuna fish we take what are called "kill bags". Huge insulated bags with handles and a zipper.

We'll fill the kill bag with 60 to 100 pounds of ice and then add water softener salt.

It makes a frozen sludge that lasts for days. 60 to 110 pound tunas stay Icy all the way back in
and home for steaking. Different salts give different results.

But I have had bottles go bad in the res and leak. Plants don't mind r/o but loaded
with salt? That's Death at the door with Uncle Murphy as his side kick.
And we all know how Uncle Murph is,,,,,,,

I'll post a pic of the Pelagic Bag, just have to dig one out of the boat.
They work like magic and have a drain plug.

And I have a chest freezer just for frozen bottles and frozen trimmings so
I always have plenty on hand.

I was wondering weather to start running transition nutes just before switching to 12 12 or just after? I am using general hydro advanced nutes.

Mr Cannabis I am using the same nutes as you and I am by no means an expert but that seems too fast. If you are looking at the chart you have transition bloom heavy bloom and ripen. If you change every week you will be in ripen just when your girls will be looking to really pack on the weight. watch your plant and when its flowering heavily feed accordingly. be alert for cla mag defeciancy with flowering plants when using gh and ro water.

In Terms Of Quality Would You Say Waters The Way

Ok here we go ive posted this elsewere but think it was in wrong place so ill do it here is there any benifit from growing in an 80 litre 3 n 1/2 foot deep bin compared to growing in a smaller bucket say 1 foot deep 20 litres or would the roots only grow down so far anyway googled the hell outa this 1 n couldnt find much info on it at all peace

Plz some1 is deeper buckets better than shallow buckets this is driving me mad i cant find no info or posts anywhere


Guess itll be an experiment for me then but i reakon x2 400hps x1 80 litre 3 n 1/2 foot deep bin 60 lp/m air pump and a fish pond air diffuser will evolve my next plant into a tree fingers crossed give me 6 months and ill let ya'll no how it went but in mean time if anyone has any knowledge on this it would be great!

I have used GH since the beginning of time.

What nutrients are best for blooming "Blue Dream" ? (trays/rockwool/HPS lites)

bigger pots = bigger "potential yield" per plant and also means longer veg

Most hydro setups require mo more than 6-8 inches of medium depth for roots.
You should be able to complete an indoor hydro gro in 10-12 weeks max

Yes right I think so water is better and hydroponics for horticultural crops and forage crops can be grown in India. We offer a list of hydroponic cultivation can be practiced. variety of crops can be grown using hydroponics soil-less culture.

I live where it is impossible to buy hydroponic supplies but agricultural chemicals for large scale farming are available. In soil, indoors and outdoors, I have been using Nitrofoska Foliar 10-4-7 and Cuneb Forte 0-49-37 (amazing stuff!). For hydroponic growing can I buy these kinds of fertilizers, figure out how much to dilute them, and use them as my nutrients? I wonder if some of the strong fertilizers available here are based on chemicals that would make them not suitable of hydro.

I love the method of hydroponics because even if you are a novice grower, it is very possible to produce the finest crops. I am also thrilled to know that growing melons are possible with it

Ok, so ive asked in different forums, maybe this will be the one to answer my question. Im growing with a ebb and flow table, and i was wondering, when i topt he res off every two days, do i fill up with nutrient water solution, or just water. Please let me know, id really appreciate it. THANKS

Where to get best quality and price aeroponic/hydroponic systems?

Thanks. - Staycool

that is most likely going to vary from time to time you'll need to check the ppm's to know if you need to add nutes or just water. ppm's high top off with water/ low add nutes to bring ppm up to desired level. I have heard that you can go by ph level also but I haven't tried it yet. I am just letting you know what i have learned by reading different threads.
