I was told this is blue dream, I do let the temp drop to encourage colors but I am starting to worry I will cause mold.

I am doing my best, my dehumidifier died but even before that it was hard. I have a friends which is much better than mine but it is currently sitting at 54%. I just ordered an even bigger one. I live by the ocean and humidity is high naturally a lot. I got...

You mentioned organic nutes. Sterile doesn't work well at all with that, you need beneficial bacteria to help break down the organic food, sterile will kill them and you would not get the full benefit of the food. I had to use bleach and chlorine last grow with organics, the plant didn't mind it...

Yes it should if the pump moves enough and you do it before it clogs. That's what I am doing either this or next grow, pipe it so i can reverse the flow to the buckets individually with the pumps full pressure per bucket. I think I will also have a spot to plug in my pressurized tap water to...

Oh thank goodness. Thank you man. I just ordered a very nice dehumidifier and I'm automating humidity forever! I think if I have it inside the room by the vent dumping out.

Hi, Week 5 begins in 2 days and I am currently looking for a better dehumidifier, the big one died and the small one doesn't do anything pretty much. I am trying to control humidity it keeps soaring. I borrowed a dehumidifier from a friend for now but it is still kinda hard to control...

I like those pots man although they are not much bigger than mine and I see they use 1/2 inch pipes. On the bottom. If those drain they will get clogged. Thats what I'm having a hard time with now.

You're on the right path.

Man if it is young just restart and lose the rockwool. Thats 90% of the problem I think. No point in fighting root rot this early when you still have rockwool unless you removed it. It always causes me headaches.

My advice, as a new grower that experienced a lot of problems, amplified by me trying to go extreme all the time.... 1, do not ever use rockwool in your setup. It is asking for trouble. 2, if you don't have a chiller get one. I ran without one with good results but it is such a good...

Crap. I thought it out and the reason I did it this way is if the outflow clogs in one of the buckets, like it did, it would not keep pumping the whole res into a bucket and flood the room. I thought I was being smart lol. Does it matter in the end as long as water flows well? I know pumping to...

My pumps biggest fitting is 5/8 i think. If make a 1.5" T that reduces to 5/8, think that would suffice? I can still backwash the 5/8th pipe to push roots out but with 1.5 inch pipes I doubt there would be enough pressure to push roots out of 1 1.5 inch tube let alone both through the T.

So anyway, think I can get away with sticking a snake in and push the roots back into the clogged bucket? its going to make a mess but I think that is my best shot. The piping and valves wont arrive till at least another week to make it reverse flow but if i can make it last till then the...

Each bucket has a 2" pipe that gravity feeds it from the res, and the pump sucks it out of those 1/2 inch tubes back to the chiller and res. The plant is fed through a drip ring that is always running powered by air bubbles. Water pipes only recirculate and I have a tiny waterfall over the...

Actually my harvest last time was good surprisingly. Im sure it could have been better but its much better than anything i ever got here and i get compliments on it all the time! The plant knew it was dying and tried to finish up. I'll post pics. Here's my reverse flow design. I think I got it...

Hello! Things were going so well. My water change yesterday did not. When I diverted my pumps flow to drain I noticed it was pretty much clogged. I am using 1/2 inch tubing to suck water out of the buckets. I took apart the T from the hose to the pump and sure enough it was clumped with roots. I...

I had lots of trouble first time, this time it has been flawless but I am nervous every water change from first go's trauma. What do you guys think? I feel like it is growing like mad. This is week 3 day 3 flowering. The scrog net was put up the day I switched to flower.

I've gotten root rot with a chiller. If you had it you'll have a hard time keeping it away no matter what you do from my experience. I use a big mix of organic nutrition and this second grow, with beneficials and a chiller I did not run into problems yet. Don't ever use rockwool. Change water...

I am not sure about your specific food but with my AN organic line PPM is all over. Its not a reliable way of measuring the food content i don't find, unlike GH trio, where it is very reliable. I am slowly getting a feel for when to feed and how much but i am still experimenting and learning.

I've read their literature and called their support. I've never seen someone mention 1/4 strength but I'm glad you mentioned it. I've been nervous and my gut feeling was telling me even 1/2 is too much so I've dropped it to about 1/3. On Monday I will check out my roots. I'm terrified of root rot.
