    New Hydro Grower ... Need Nutrient Assistance

    One thing for sure is that you dont want to use Fox Farms with any kind of DWC grow. You will have PH swings and dirty ass water. Your best bet for nutrients are either General Hydroponics three part formula or Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect Part a and b. GH is one of more popular nutrient...

    6 Ounces-1 Auto-Flower

    That picture was just about three weeks before harvest. I topped the plant once and ended up with three main stems that each produced a main cola about ten grams each (dry). I dried them for 5 days on a big screen in a small room-temp about 70 degrees and humidity at 50%. After 5 days they...

    400 or 600 watt HPS for Autos

    That is correct. Each white widow produced just under 4oz each, my bag seed plant produced almost 5oz and actually my mendo purps only produced a little over 2 oz so yes, about a pound in a half with a 400 watt light using DWC with a drip system running 24/7. GH 3 part for nutrients with a...

    400 or 600 watt HPS for Autos

    I use a 400 watt and grew 6 plants with it this past harvest, 4 white widow, 1 bad seed, 1 mendo purps. With the 400 watt i averaged 4 oz per plant like clockwork. If your gonna do anymore then 6 plants then i would go with the 600, not much of a price difference but alot more lumens.

    56 days old WW Harvest or NOT ( with Trichomes photos)

    I would start flushing now and harvest in about 3-5 days if you want to reach maximum thc percentage

    Almost done?

    2-3 weeks at the most. You have alot of amber hairs which is a sign of the bud reaching maturity, you could flush and harvest now with quality but if you let it go another 2 weeks you will reach maximum thc potential

    AN 3 part Jungle Juice line questions

    Every advanced grower had his own feeding schedule when it comes to hydro. Normally the rule of thumb is to use 1/4 strength of whats on the bottle and work your way up from there so you dont burn the plants. In hydroponics it is very often that people overfeed or burn there plants but very...

    Anyone running/ have experience w/ SOLIS TEK MATRIX 1000W LCD Ballsts?

    The setup you described in your original post is about as good as your gonna get for grow lights. The matrix does ALOT of things every other grow light doesnt- it can switch from 1000 watts to 600 or 400, has a built in odometer to keep track of how many hours you used the light, built in timer...

    HELP!!! Need help with lighting

    No need to trash the man people, at one point or another we have all used non grow lights to produce......maybe not a incandescent bulb but we all gotta start somewhere. First things first, a "regular" bulb also known as a incandescent bulb produces very little "actual watts" and get very very...

    2 Plant RDWC Setup. Suggestions Please...

    2 400 Watt bulbs will be overkill for two plants. I use a single 400 watt hps for two plants as well and average 4 oz per plant every three months. Heat is always a battle in grow tents so you for sure only want one light, even if its a 1000 watt.

    Questions about my water

    Also Gtran - Please don't spread misinformation. I'm happy that you are satisfied, but AN uses the same pH buffers that everyone else does. They just happen to advertise it on the bottle. Well seeing how i know two different people that have been using the ph perfect line and have yet to...

    Questions about my water

    I have well water as well and i to have a sulfur smell to the water, smells like rotten eggs sometimes........That kind of water normally has a PPM over 200 and is not really good to use for DWC. You want the cleanest water you can get so your best bet is to buy a few 5 gal water jugs and go to...

    Close to harvest?

    The picture quality is kinda low so its hard to tell but it looks like you wanna wait at least two more weeks before you harvest them. Thats good if the all trics are cloudy but to get the full effect of the bud your gonna want to wait till you see about 1/4 amber trics. Also if the majority...

    Odd pH fluctuation

    295 PPM is WAYYYYYYYYY to high to be starting off with in the first place. If you wanna grow high quality buds that smoke and taste good then you need to stay away from tap water. Some people also like using run off water as well but the best water you can use is reverse osmosis water. Any...

    Noise of water and pump

    I cant believe you didnt get one good answer out of 5 repsones...... Your pump is going to be noisy either way so the best thing you can is build a little box and place the pump inside the box and run the air hoses out. You can do a wooden box but your best bet would be to find some type of...
