Alright guys, am I just being paranoid or do I have an issue here.. Briefly, I have 4 seedlings in 6" net baskets. One seedling has a bunch of roots poking out the bottom of the basket, touching the water, which is an inch below the baskets. The other 3 only have one visible root, which are each...

How soon do you start adding the pool shock? Is pool shock a source of calcium? If so would I need to ditch the calmag and use Epsom salt for magnesium alongside the shock? I'm using ro water which is void of cal and mag.

That was a very informative video. Thanks for sharing it! It is hugely helpful

Thanks! I didn't have any problems finding the dosing amount and dilution instructions. My dilema is that nowhere online states whether a plant needs to be a certain age before starting the H202. I know young seedlings are delicate and wasn't sure if they are too delicate for h202. My theory is...

Thanks man! I appreciate you answering that question for me. I've been scouring the internet for a few days trying to find the answer but there is absolutely no info about when to start using h202.

So it's fine to start using now? Seeds germinated and 2 of the 4 have shed their shells with the other two close behind.

Hey all! Can someone with experience running a sterile system (hydroponics) using H202 please advise me how soon I can start dosing H202? Can it be used from day one (post germination) or do I need to wait for the plants to reach a certain point in their growth? Yes, I know bennies or pool shock...

You hit the nail on the head! I have been religiously overthinking things. Way too much time on google and in forums chasing knowledge just to second guess everything once another bit of knowledge becomes available. I'm that way with anything new that I attempt. Probably the side effect of years...

It's a 5 x 12g tote system and only a 400gph pump for the waterfall. I don't have a chiller so supposedly the more air the better? My plan is to use the power of the airstone bubbles to help direct roots away from the 2" pipes connecting the totes. Please correct me if my method is flawed.

My system is a waterfall rdwc with air stones and I will be running sterile using H202 (extra oxygen).

Very useful info! Thanks again for sharing your method. You provided more knowledge than all my Google searches combined. Now, if I could only get back the hours I spent researching a topic that you answered in just minutes, lol.

So you don't put a layer of hydroton under the rw?

Thanks for sharing that knowledge man!

From what I can gather, you keep the water level at the top of the hydroton layer so it's just barely touching the cube and let the cube wick up what it needs?

Thanks for your input! Which method do you use and is there any advice you would give to someone who follows that method?

Hey all! What's your preferred method for starting germinated seeds in rockwool in dwc/rdwc without a drip feed? Do you let the water touch the bottom of the netpot with the bubbler misting the hydroton? Or keep an air gap between the water and netpots and top feed manually 2-3 tines a day? Or...

The office of cannabis managment appears to be slacking. They claimed the site would be updated 7/01/23, but unfortunately that hasn't happened. However, if you lookup the bill, it has far more information about what's required to apply. They require a business plan that covers everything from a...

If I'm understanding your comment, you're looking for a pump that will recirculate a very minimal amount of water? If so look into Tom aqua lifter.

It all depend on your intended purpose. If for personal use there is no license requirement. If you as asking about the business side of the law, there are numerous forms of licenses available. From microbusines which is cheap ($250 i believe)to apply for to full scale cultivator which is like...

As someone who owns a saltwater reef tank and utilizes multiple wavemakers, I would definately advise against putting one in a dwc bucket. Wavemakers not only move water, they also suck up water thru the backside, which can very easily suck up roots. I doubt that wrapping it on nylon will do...
