And in reply to how I got on with the crop in this thread, they went in the bin and I started again. They were so stunted even though I pulled them through I decided to put in some healthier babies. These are quite small for 5 weeks, but I was still trying to get it right and they also have been...

Ok so it's going to be a long answer, but I think after a year I've cracked it These are the measures I took, you may not need all of them but it's what worked for me. Reverse osmosis water followed by a UV steriliser. My water was really poor quality. Bought a bigger water chiller so the temps...

hi I have a RDWC system that has air rings in each pot. I've recently changed air rings as I was changing out the pipes after root issues. I used soaker hose instead for a temp measure, bubbles look a lot bigger so I've managed to source the original hose from ali express (I refuse to spend £10...

Shall I skip the silica then?

Every grow so far with rdwc has been like that for me so far, just a battle. That's why I'm gonna pull them this time. Yes and light leaks, I'm gonna make some covers for over the pebbles just to be sure

@rkymtnman pH around 5.8-6.0 I do calibrate it. I put the spotting down to the fact they had no roots until a few days ago. It is pure RO maybe they need more calmag I'm running half strength. A and b fairly low I'm at 400ppm. I'm still probably going to pull them up, bleach system and put in...

Thanks for your reply @Wastei I hear you, the organics were still causing problems, when I tried Hisensbergs tea recipe I had better results, but found it far too involved I seemed to practically live in my grow room. I want a simpler solution. I am running chiller, the previous was too small...

@Failmore and @rkymtnman thank you both for replying. I cant get Jacks here in the Uk, I think plant magic maybe UK based so probably u dont get it stateside. the A and B is formulated for DWC and seems organic free, but the root stim is kelp and allsorts of organics that sludge up. I'm...

Thanks @Star Dog tempted to do this, just about to pull my girls out and put in new clones, I've saved them and new roots appearing, but dont believe they'll fully recover. So a nice short veg will suit

thanks @buggzl actually after posting this I watched a video on scrog and realised thats basically what i do LOL. mainline or in my case manifold as they are clones and then bend them flat through the net.

thanks @Star Dog i'll check out your thread, did you top them at all?

hi so I've been struggling for a year after switching over to RDWC with root issues, I've tried live and sterile res. I've had crops but been a struggle, then two back to back fails, early on in veg, the second one i seemed to have pulled back from the dead and now white roots appearing. I'm...

hi a very general question and I'm sure everyone has their different ways, but I'll welcome any advice from more experienced trainers. for years i just pinched the plants and let them do their own thing, until I switched to RDWC and in lockdown I had enough time on my hands to experiment with...

I'm new to DWC and been having brown slime problems with live res, H202 only really kept it at bay. I had some success with the tea, completely got rid. I just tried to re introduce enzymes but it took off again. Lots of people saying sterile res is a better route is easier and i think i may go...

so an update, I decided to put 400ml of cannazyme into my 280ltr system last night and this morning i can see the first signs of slime on the air rings, its not much, but I'm sure it wasnt there before. I'm not sure if its a problem or not, would you get a build up like this anyway from the...

ahhhhhh........not using RO even with chiller yes, seems ok for now, just dont want to back slide

The tea i brew has hydroguard in it, along with root compound RZO, worm castings and molasses to breed the good bacteria. Means using a lot less of the hydroguard its like gold dust in the UK. I blame brexit probably comes in via europe supplier. When i used it alone, the slime appeared

thanks for your reply, no idea where the bad bacteria is coming from, but the good bacteria seems to have got rid of it........ Z7 looks like enzymes so yes maybe cannazyme would do a similar job, its in the cupboard I think a lot of these products are more or less the same.... yeah maybe...

Hi, first time I'm posting I usually find an answer in existing threads! I recently switched to RDWC first grow got chronic root problems and ended up using a lot of H202, managed to keep it at bay but small root mass and stunted growth led to poor yield. bleached everything, started again, 1st...
