Hydroponics

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:
I have been using dirt for a few years now but I've been kinda feeding them like a hydro way...mix the nutes in a barrel and then pump it to the plants...but I'm tired of dirt...to damn messy...so I'm ordering my hydro supplies and I hope I ordered right...then hopefully the seeds that I kept in the frig are still good or I will have to try and order from attitude seed bank. Oi Vey

Hasn't been a post in this hydro sub forum in almost a year, so I figured i would rejuvenate20240819_075012.jpg20240819_075014.jpg20240819_075017.jpg it a little with some action.
My 52 day grow in 4 13 gallon buckets with a 13 gallon reservoir outside the tent.

After some intense defoliation last night the air flow looks a whole lot better in the tent. Hairs popping up at bud sites but no buds yet on this 13th day since I flipped the lights to 12/12. Hopefully within a week or so we will have some (lots) of buds to look at. I am actually hoping the bud diameters stay smaller and hopefully help me avoid bud rot or mildew. 20240820_061230.jpg20240820_061233.jpg

Apologies if this has been covered.

I'm looking at moving to a hydro setup of some kind due to a losing battle with gnats.



@driver77 recommended the Aircube system. It looks really nice;


I'm also considering the Vivosun DWC bucket system;



Those of you that are doing hydro, how do you start seeds? Do you start them in the buckets with peat plugs or rockwool cubes? Or, do you start them in in a tray with peat plugs are seed starting soil?

I'm trying not to use anything with organic material that could cause another infestation.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've used rockwool, jiffy plugs(peat),and this last time soil. I just started them in solos and transplanted to hydroton. It all works...pick one that your good with and go with it.
I've put them in hydroton as early as a few days to a few weeks.....all worked....although I do think the earlier the better for maximum growth early.
Spider Farmer has some new inexpensive systems out too....Aircube wasn't cheap.

I dont think anybody should BUY a hydroponics system, there is one big thing about growing is to keep it one the LOW :) now why would you go an buy a system, maybe the cops keep an eye on that place...or maybe he keeps a list ? even if you pay with cash...do you think he has a pen handy to write down your plate number? hmm i love the hardware store, plus you look prof. buying there too :) the ladies like a man who is a proffesional :) just build your own stuff if u smoke weed you have an imagination
cali supersoil can score 8-10k pounds anyway why would u worry about the hydro shop with the guy that keeps a list
