I bought an ares 4 co2 natural gas burner a year ago. EVERYTHING worked fine until I started to notice a scorch mark at the top of the inside of the unit. I read the owners manual to make sure I could find any information regarding this issue. I called customer service and asked what could...
I really do not understand how I can go from an aerocloner (turbo cloner) which sprays water at the roots 24/7 to something like an ebb and flow system that just instantly shocks the plants and seems to droop if I flood every 3 hours.. maybe it’s because I’m doing 30 minute floods instead of 15...
So how do I know if I should flood for 15 min vs 30 min per cycle? I have a 55 gallon drum that feeds 24 sites. Like should the buckets soak during the duration or should it be just somethjng super quick that fills the bucket and then just drains?
I have an air stone as well. Have you noticed any issues with starting at 3 or 4 floods a day? Have you ever tried to increase the flooding frequency as soon as you put the clones in? How long are your flood times? I’m doing 3 times a day right now at 30 minutes. Maybe I should reduce the...
That’s what I thought.. but it appears that you actually can. I’ve reduced my feeds from every 3 hours to only 3 floods a day during lights on and it looks like they are improving
Yeah see I’m using buckets but not a flood table.. I was running every 3 hours last grow from start to finish but it seemed like every 3 worked well when it got into late veg and flower...
This is a repost since no one replied to my post:
fter transplanting my clones into straight hydroton from an aero cloner, how many times should I flood my buckets a day during veg? Right now I’m flooding every 3 hours, plants look slightly droopy. Should I maybe flood them less? I’m thinking...
After transplanting my clones into straight hydroton from an aero cloner, how many times should I flood my buckets a day during veg? Right now I’m flooding every 3 hours, plants look slightly droopy. Should I maybe flood them less? I’m thinking maybe start with fewer floods and work my way up to...
So I switched nutrients to dynagrow and the issue basically got resolved with a few leaves here and there they are glossy looking. I water every 3 hours now and I might even increase it to every 2 hours. Could this maybe help? I use hydroton as my medium but I wonder if feeding every 2 hours is...
I’ve used recharge beneficial bacteria for my coco plants and I’ve seen an incredible difference in growth by using it. I’m looking for something that I can use in recirculating hydro that will not cause me any issues at all. Is diamond nectar okay? What about hydroguard? I currently run...
Ph will jump from 5.5 to 6.3 in one day. I’m not using cal mag. I’m using dyna gro foilage pro with a little bit of protekt which is silica. Resevoir temps are 72. I do change nutrients from cloning to veg. I basically slightly increased the amount of nutrients with a fresh batch. No green slime...
Yeah that’s the thing is ph won’t stay steady. I noticed ppms were rising as well as ph. I took out enough nutrients to get it to 500 and I saw it ppm were still rising. I dropped nutrients down to 450 and they still rose... it’s super weird, I can grow rooted clones in coco with 1200ppm from...
they do not seem like they thrive. I can clone 24 plants in my turbo cloner ( aero cloner) at 650 ppm but as soon as I drop them into hydroton they get stressed out. I understand that you can get transplant shock, but it almost seems like they do not want to grow and start showing deficiencies...
What is iws? Basically I’m trying to figure out what my ppm should be in veg and flower. I use hydroton and my media and I CANNOT seem to get this right. I feed 7 times a day during veg.
