Well so far(knock on wood), I believe I might have organics some what figured out. For veg at least. Time will tell though. I just top dressed yesterday so we'll see if it keeps them going.

When I switched to lucas formula, my plants cleared up, but there's a different look to them in organics. Almost like they're happier. It could be just me though. I pretty much stay high. :eyesmoke:bongsmilie:wall:

You need to jam the N and ewc in.You need it till week 7 or 8 so keep feeding it.Bloom Im just mixing 444 and bloom its 284 I think.Gaia.

Are you cooking the top dressing first? I believe it releases more N so when you to dress and water, it gets more N in faster. I believe that's how it works. Not exactly sure yet. Can't wait to start dealing with those problems.... :wall: lol
 
I think the easy way is veg in a 5 gallon then 15g 2 weeks before flip.Im finding root bound in organic is hard on the plant.

Yes i mix then let sit 45 days.Too hot for clones lol.
 
I have the system from PA hydroponics that you posted and I love it. I got the DIY 4 buckets 8 gallon one with no holes drilled and no pvc pipe. I also built it in a straight line with no water falls. The pump is pulling from the last bucket in the line and water falling into the reservoir, each bucket including the reservoir have an airstone. I use advanced nutrients and it does a very good job of keeping the ph balanced. I skimmed through the rest of the trend but did not read in detail. If you have anything specific that you want to know 8m happy to help.

I use smart pots so I don't think that I'll have that problem. I'm trying to keep some moms alive for a while. If I get that down, I'll move on to flower. I'm seeing a lil yellowing on some lower leaves. Could be because they're just not getting used anymore. Could be soil is getting depleted. Either way, I top dressed. I hope it wasn't too soon.

Nice looking system. Watch out for roots from the last bucket clogging at the junction between pvc and 1/4" tubing.

I have thought about this because I can see the roots from the bucket to the right coming through the 3" with the current. It is 3" to 3/4" at the end and there are the 2 99° bents and 2 small straight pieces so right now I thing they are about half way to the 3/4" line. Any suggestions on what to do if they get there?? Because I'm sure they will if they grow anything like the 5 gallon bubblers I've used in the past that look like this. The clones in the system are this big with roots like this right now.37289.jpeg20210215_093137.jpg20210216_105343.jpg20210216_105334.jpg
