i have a bluelabs meter which i have calibrated with the buffer chemicals, i will look into getting myself an EC meter... thanks rkymtnman!

no they are not falling apart, what i think the issue was, is that i had some additional herbs in the same system from the very beginning.. basil, corriander, parsley and such, that was a big mistake as they are the reason why i am having root issues now i believe.. i will check water temps...

thats exactly what im having to do... i bought some dutch pro A and B with the Boost today, took out the epson salts and added a little peroxide to the mix with a small amout of ph down which has me at 6.1 - i am waiting until tomorrow to see if the ph shifts any lower... i also flushed the...

i dont see any mites which is good, im guessing its some sort of root issue but was hoping someone on here would provide some concrete solution as to whats causing it.. im slowly understanding things arent always straightfrward in this area of growing! Thanks for the reply

thanks for the advice on that.. so despite what the bottle says its not good for hydro :/ ive learn alot from this first grow thats for sure.. im going to change the water and scrub the tubs now..

i was advised on here to add the molasses to feed the good bacteria.. yes its foamy i dont know why. its my first hydro grow :/

in the system are as follows organica nutes epson salts good bacteria mag cal ph down molasses sugar im not sure why its so foamy but it just gets like that.. im going to change out the water today but wanted to show you guys first.

1/3 of my plants in the same system is looking like its not going to make it another week, can anyone tell me what they think is going wrong here - this is my first time in hydro and the system is outside. We had crazy wind last week which beat them up real good and the plant that doesnt look...

so things went a bit south since last update, We had a week of really strong winds that split two out of three plants right down the middle. Then the other herbs i had in bucket 4 started causing issues with ph and probably other root related problems. i ditched those and flushed the system...

Thanks for the help, visually i cannot see anything wrong with this at the moment, but they could be my untrained eye... what would suggest a magcal deficiency? last time i checked the water it was 23 degrees!

That's right, water supplied through the white pipes and then re-delivered via the black pipes. As the white pipes enter each bucket, I have a Venturi system at an elbow joint which draws air in through a regular aquatic air pump tube - 6mm od, 4mm id I recall. I believe that's what they...

Here's a better view if you want to see the pipes working.. i took the system design from straightup636, a member here on the forum, i went a little further by machining plastic components that fit inside the white pipes - my experiment to get the most air i could sucked into the system using...

ok, i added the salts, changed from cana coco to formulex and got some bacteria in there along with mollases, extra nitrogen and lastly magcal. i havent felt a need to change the water out until today but it must have been atleast three weeks since the last change over.. i dont yet understand...

pH does fluctuate as it's an outside system. I try to keep it between 5.5 and 6.5. water used is a consistent 6.8 out of the tap. Nutes were canna a and b until today when I switched to formulex. As for ppms I don't have that kind of equipment.

1) PICTURE OF PLANT *** VERY IMPORTANT *** - attached 2) Growing indoor or outdoors - outdoors 3) Watering schedule - 2 weeks 4) Growing Medium - hydro 5) What stage of growth - early / 1 1/2 month or so old from seed. Generally they always look happy, I think it may be because i left it 2...

There were in soil, took them out and removed most of the soil and perlite. They have a small but good looking root system. Put them each into its own net cup with roots at the bottom some slightly coming out. In the buckets the water line is just above the bottom of the net cups...

Just doubled checked and the level is about the same in all buckets. Must have been the angle of the video

Could i just lower the power / watts using the flow controller? Not sure if that would reduce the amount of bubbles I am producing though. Any ideas on why my plants are wilting after transplantation?

Im not sure exactly what you mean but it sounds interesting, also i have just transplanted some of my favourite plants but the leaves have curled since being in for the past hour. any suggestions? maybe i need to reduce the water level a touch? Regards all and thanks for your input!!

i wish i had the square buckets.. i managed to stop the leaks i was getting by A) drilling holes smaller than what was recommended for the uniseal size, and B) using electrical tape with two turns around the uniseal. i ended up machining some delrin parts to reduce the pipe diameter before the...
