You don't seem to understand much at all and your reading comprehension skills sure need some work.
What the fuck is your problem? Are you just a cunt? Grow the fuck up. Nobody is attacking you...yet here you are. Seriously evaluate your life. Attacking people on the internet is pathetic. Good day.

True, a micro element for sure, but like anything, the appropriate amount is critical. What is the recommended ppm of chlorine that cannabis plants require?
I have no idea, but it's not much. Perhaps a better question would be "how much is excessive?". The notion that chlorine is bad for plants makes about as much sense as saying that nitrogen is bad for plants. Sure, give them too much N and you will fry your plants, but that doesn't make it "bad for plants", which was the context of my statement.

Huh? Chlorine is an essential nutrient for plants. Fact.
In anything but minute quantities chlorine IS bad for plants and animals like us. The plants don't use chlorine they use chloride which is a negatively charged ion of 1 chlorine atom, Cl- whereas chlorine is a diatomic molecule that is a green, toxic gas. CL2.

Very different things with very different properties.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

This proverbA Little Knowledge Is A Dangerous Thing’ means a person is sharing his views with others and doesn’t have enough knowledge of a particular subject, especially medical, religion, or education field, it can lead to dangerous situations. People with limited experience can often mislead people. Innocent people or people with a lack of information may easily believe the person pretending to know everything because most of the time, they are very convincing. A person with a little information and knowledge can also become a cause of suffering and even death due to their overconfidence.

Next time you are going to cut and paste from a website to try to act smart, at least put it in quotes.

So, in your opinion, without Googling, how much Chloride is too much?

All right! Hydroponics is what I know, and hydroponics is the way I grow! :bigjoint:

This forum will be great, we can discuss anything hydro. No dirtbags here, We haul water!

We can compare the different nutrient salts, and all of the additives. Plus the kinds of soilless media and what irrigation system is best for each. And of course, pH and TDS measuring equipment, feeding and flushing, etc.

And all the while, we'll make fun of those guys hauling big bags of dirt! :blsmoke:


I can't think of any questions right now, what do YOU want to know?

:mrgreen:
Honestly, I think they’re laughing at guys like me who haul endless buckets of water from the spring lol.

Wasn’t sure where else to go but I need some help please. This clone is giving me some trouble. Has a decent root system started but has not been growing much for the past 4-5 days and has been yellowing more each day.

been keeping ppm around 350-500. pH has ranged from 5.5-7.2 during the last week. I have been being more strict the past few days and trying to get it as close to 6 as I can.
I have played around with the ppm, i couldn’t tell if it was being overfed or underfed. Lights are dimmed to about 35%. Using jacks nutrients tap formula. Idk what’s wrong

2nd hydro run, please help. Don’t want to lose this cut, only surviving clone.

Depends on the system bro I've done plenty of no flush grows and believe me I was dead against it for a long time until I started using Lucas's formula and recommended addbacks. you would think of course that some of the element salts would build up to toxic levels but it really doesn't come into play as you would thing when you properly manage your nutrient solutions. I will still recommend especially for beginners res changes every two weeks but not before that is only wasting nutrients as well as adding extra waste to the environment.
Was wondering g what is Lucas formula?

Lucas formula is a feeding method with 3-part nutrients where you don't use the Grow portion and for every 1ml of Micro you use 2ml of Bloom. This reduces the N so it doesn't retard flowering like too much N can do. I start feeding like that after the stretch period in DWC or soilless growing with ProMix HP. I like the AN pH Perfect nutes so I never have to screw around checking pH but you can do it with any 3-part nute.

:peace:

This is well said amd I have absolutely been a victim of this multiple times trying to grow in an rdwc, amongst other aspects of life

Change ot up these Blue Dream is healthy coming up on week 8. Had to defoleat a bit have to get you some after pics. I am planning on trying a flushing agent by advanced nutrients called flawless finish. On this thread a lot of people goon my shit saying don't flush well what I say do you but I like to flush so it is what it is. last harvest I flushed with botanicare clearx and used botanicare sweet for taste came out perfect. But I am trying a diff approach on this one I will be flushing with flawless finish which has some nutes and essentials in it so the plant is not shocked when cutoff I always add sweet for taste ph5.8

This new Active Aqua Gro and Flo (ebb & flow) system is nice. Have had it since earlier this year but had health issues and lost a few grows do to not being able to pay attention to the grows. Healthy now, using it and I am loving it.
Had to retie today, every one of the ladies have added nodes and can handle another tie down.

Group shots, nice tie down, good even canopy.

All is going well.
As I am new to this grow system. Can't believe the growth now that the roots are well established. Have been growing in Coco/Perlite for years and wanted to try something new, this is one hell of a grow system. Still learning but getting it down.
Not sure when I will go into flower, would like for them to get some height so I can put a net above them for flowering and tying them to the net
