    weird bud development only on a few plants

    im not a stickler for keeping my ph at exactly 5.8 or whatever but normally ( i have been growing with rdwc 2 different systems 44 buckets in total ) and if all is well in your system ph tends to swing up not down, down usually indicates some root pathogen issue. I am using hydroguard and...

    Flood and drain reservoir maintenance?

    Hi all, So i have 2 flood&drain tables for clones and teens and a 25 gallon res for their nutrients. I have come to ask the community how you guys maintain the water for a few days. What can be added in the res to keep it from growing algae and cyanobacteria? I tried h2o2 - it keeps it clean...

    my system is a recirculating deep water culture , so i dont technically water them, well they eat and drink whenever they want lol. I can however manually increase or decrease the ph.

    weird bud development only on a few plants

    could it be light stress? these are gelato 33 and i got the feeling they dont like too much light. Also i did notice the ph started to drop on one of my systems that is showing this issue so i gave it ph up and brought it up to 5.7 then today after some defoliation the ph went up to 6 by itself.

    Can someone help me identify this on my leaf?

    U might be on to something here. I did notice some of the tips curling inwards which seems to be nitrogen toxicity, if this is true then my 780ppm nutrient level might be a little too hot for them. Since you noticed similar spots and fixed it by lowering your dose, i will be doing the same and...

    Is this cyanobacteria?

    How did u measure out to make sure u are at 5ppm for bleach in your system? Also u should not use h2o2 from drug store, the low strength versions have additives to hold the h2o2 so its not good. get it from your hyrdro store if u can, I get 35% food grade, but please do tell me how u exactly...

    Help diagnose spots on leaves

    Few hours ago i top fed them and they are already starting to show some good signs, I think my biggest issue was not top feeding them for over 5 days so they went into full nutrient deficiency. My mistake was thinking because they are big already they should be ok but didnt think about the fact...
