Do you still use a calmag supplement or is there enough in your well water for your plants to not get deficiencies?

I did it week 3 flower. Do you do it in flower or veg right before you flip to 12/12

What ppm is your well water at? My city water is at 150ppm and I wanted pure water for my girls, no chlorine or chloramine or other stuff the city adds to the water. I don't have the patience to let my buckets sit a day before I use them and chloramine don't evaporate as fast as chlorine so...

Awesome. Thanks for the good feedback bud. Good looking out. Glad to have someone from the same region as me answer my questions. Gonna drill a hole in my floor and set it up today. Trying to finish my work down there today so I can focus on the grow itself. Winter last year I started...

It is dark and moist down there without dehumidifiers. But I got 3 good dehumidifiers running to control the humidity though. I'm not growing in a tent at all. I made a room with black plastic last grow, temps got too hot inside so I tore it down and just using the whole basement now, don't...

I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Right now it's 49 degrees Fahrenheit outside with a high of 59 degrees Fahrenheit today the weather calls for. I am growing in my basement deep water culture. I chose my basement cuz its the coolest area in the house so my water and air temps stay in...

I learned the hard way my first grow. I won't make the same mistakes again. But I won't give up on defoliation completely. I will do it in veg. I will lollipop them like you said in your post, lollipoping is removing the lowest growth that doesn't receive much light so the top buds get the...

Did you defoliate in veg or budding? What week did you defoliate? Like a week or 2 before you flipped to flowering cycle or 1st 2nd or 3rd week in flowering? I might try defoliation again but definitely not taking all the fan leaves off, that was a bad mistake. And my 2nd mistake was...

I love the debates. Lol good stuff. I didn't flush my first run but I do plan to give a 3 to 5 day flush this second run just to see what happens. I don't think flushing in dwc can hurt a plant for only 3 to 5 days at the very end of its life. I do believe it can leach out excess nutrients...

I learned the hard way my first grow. I defoliated all the big fan leaves off at week 3 budding. It stunted them, never had problems with nutrient burn until I did that stupid move. I definitely learned don't take any leaves off unless your in veg and give her a week or 2 weeks to bounce back...

I just ordered a northern lights auto seed from royal queen seeds for 12 bucks. And also a Barneys pineapple express Auto. Next check plan to order a blueberry auto and a auto ultimate. Total of 4 in dwc. How did you like the northern lights for the grow and for the end results like yield and...

I feel it was kind of weak with only 1 per bucket and all 4 lines open on my air pump. Maybe just 1 stone and 2 lines closed more air pressure?

Round 1 sucked. Plan to improve all my mistakes and make this one worth it. Instead of using indica or sativa I decided to order a feminised pineapple express Auto by Barneys farm. And also a northern lights auto by royal queen seeds. I plan to order a blueberry auto next payday and auto...

I don't have a chiller as I'm using single bucket system. I need to make it rdwc with a res so I only have to change one bucket verses four at a time. Then I could get a chiller. But single buckets just don't work. My cold Upper Michigan basement floor keep my bucket temps in check without a...

Also I use hydroguard full strength always. 2 ml per gallon of water only if using ro. Tap water will kill the good stuff in hydroguard. I didn't use hydroguard my first grow and had to battle root rot for like 2 weeks. Stunted my growth and made my cycle longer. You definitely don't want...

I don't consider it thread jacking. We're all here to learn and help each other

I always use calimagic when topping off, same with hydroguard. That's it if topping off to lower ppm because ppm is rising. If it's neutral ppm meaning it's staying the same every day I mix more nutes to the ppm range the plants like. Say if your plant is staying at 500ppm and not rising or...

Fuck chlorine and chloramine

I am using 0ppm ro water.

Quarter strength for clones or seedlings or early veg right?
