    3 Questions (Bloom, Air Bubbles, Ph & EC Inconsistencies) + Flowering Pics

    I'm not using RO water, so the ph perfect doesn't work so perfect. Some have said still don't adjust it, even if not using RO, while others say you must still adjust it. Personally, I had some issues right in the beginning, when I let my tap ph ride as it was, and it was near or right above 8...

    3 Questions (Bloom, Air Bubbles, Ph & EC Inconsistencies) + Flowering Pics

    I was concerned about the sativa size too. The seedling got funky right from the start though, and like i said up above and in the photos, you can see the main strem/root is actually warped around like a closed hand, grown within itself. So the plant didn't get very high. Yet the canopy above...

    It's 4 numbers when I get EC readings, just like it is with ppm. I think usually people will round and add a decimal, that is why it usually looks the way it does. Like 1234 would be 1.2 I'm using well water and the plants seem fine with it. But yeah the starting ppm with it is 180 lol. No...

    Yeah I may not have to adjust the ph so precisely with AN, but I'm not using RO water, and originally I was getting some nutrient deficiency issues (though my tap ph was above 8). So i've been adjusting just to make sure. I've been using ph up more now though, 5 weeks in flower, gettting ph...

    Is slime always bad in dwc?

    https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00VXQG23O/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3CGYMVL7O93&colid=3V8A4G1WEL2I9 I was turned on to this by others on this forum. It's Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, same as hydroguard, only not watered down, it's in concentrated form. Only a couple drops exceeds the strength of the...

    Is slime always bad in dwc?

    Might want to cover those clear tubes on the top going into the bucket as well. I had some light leak issues from atop the net pot and also in through the clear tubes. I'll be getting some solid black tubes next grow. And I'm sure you thought of this, but be sure the electrical tape on top...

    1. I'm noticing that when I add Bloom nutes (AN nutes ph perfect 3 part base kit), the ppm/EC reads much lower than when I add grow & micro in the same amounts. It is a very noticeable difference in reading, with EC readings rising less when adding bloom nutes, x3 + times more when adding micro...

    I have a difficult time swapping dwc buckets and untangling airstone tubes from roots

    Makes sense. Will be a lot easier for me doing that than changing buckets everday. Will do. I'll never get down to .1 though, as my well water begins at .3 ...That is OK though, flushing with well water, right? I know it's not ideal, but ... My plants eat so little. I'm amazed at the...

    Fluffy Buds week 8, will they get more dense?

    No there won't be any issues doing that. Nice looking plants. But yeah looks like they've got awhile yet to go, all those hairs are still white

    I have a difficult time swapping dwc buckets and untangling airstone tubes from roots

    Yeah i considered doing that this last time, just moving it all together, not even unwinding the tubes. only issue is i wanted to hydrogen peroxide wash the stones and tubes, impossible to do if I don't unwind them. Upcoming I will definitely just move them together. It's nearing the end of...

    RDWC. 8 x 55 Litre system.

    This would be possible. There are drains along the bottom of the basement walls, I could run a pipe from the bucket, outside the tent, and into these drains. Not sure I'd be able to get it out of the tent though, all while keeping the pipes pointed downward. The holes in the tent are a bit...

    RDWC. 8 x 55 Litre system.

    Ideally I'd like to be just topping off and not changing res in dwc as well. I was going to hold off until flush time, I'm week 4 flower, but I began getting ph down spikes, which seems to always happen around week 2 of a res cycle life, so I ended up switching out last night. I'm only doing...

    RDWC. 8 x 55 Litre system.

    Yeah I know. I was asking for DWC grows, which I'm doing. How to change the res in a dwc, when scrogging, was what I was wondering.

    RDWC. 8 x 55 Litre system.

    do you have access on the sides of the screen to go back and maintain the plants in the middle and rear of the room? the one thing i cannot understand with scrogs is how you are able to access the res underneath the plant (when it's filled out in the screen). i'm doing dwc this grow and...

    I have a difficult time swapping dwc buckets and untangling airstone tubes from roots

    Do you mean remove the stone from the tube? The stone doesn't remove from the tube. They are molded together. I guess that would be the easiest solution though...finding a detachable airstone and tube on amazon. The tube i have now is clear, I'd like a black one so no light leaks in. Well...

    magic mushroom's legalization

    I think any psychedelic can have the potential to cause temporary psychotic episodes. But prolonged mental disorders I would say were there latently, just not obvious, and maybe the psychedelic brought it out, but it would have begun showing itself anyway. In using mushrooms for healing, one...

    I have a difficult time swapping dwc buckets and untangling airstone tubes from roots

    I don't have terribly much trouble lifting the plant and roots from old bucket into the new bucket, my main difficulty is the air stone tubes entwine heavily with the roots, which grow all around them, and there is a lot of difficulty getting the stone and tubes separated from the roots. There...

    magic mushroom's legalization

    I think legalizing them for recreational use in the states is a ways off yet. I do see the mushrooms application in the health/medical field upcoming in the near future. Like cannabis, mushrooms will begin with a legalized medical clearance. They are a wondrous helper for the journey, I see...

    Cannabis Overdose Experiences

    There may have been some of that, but it was brief. There wasn't much panic. I have had panic attacks in the past, not drug related, so I'm familiar with the effects of one. There definitely was faintness, but that was a minor symptom in relation to all else that was happening, particularly...
