    PH Issue Sudden drop!

    Update. So far back to a normal .1 to .2 rise per day. No clue what caused the sudden drop but i caught it and it does not appear to be ongoing. I treat every water change with 2.5ml %29 H2O2 per 15L of water, not sure if thats strong or weak, but being doing it since I started to make sure I...

    PH Issue Sudden drop!

    Hey Guys, Tried to search for anything like this and came up with nothing. I had some issue with my PH rising at first, and that I have gotten past by using bottled water. PH was stable for almost 2 weeks at 5.5- 5.8. I am running RDWC, water never goes over 70 running 1/3 recommended nutes...

    DWC Problem.

    72 for res temp is a bit high, should be under 70 at all times. Mine stay between 66 and 69 and only once reached 70, you might want to try and either get more air flowing around your buckets or covering them like me with the white/black backed plastic to avoid the black pulling heat into the...

    Single Shot Garden Hydro bucket

    Thing is I already own these, so no additional costs, I just want to know if I am thinking correctly about the water and air issue. These use an air pump to blow the water up in a drip system so there is some, just not a ton of air being put in the water. The only other thing I can do is...

    First Grow

    I have had some sucess, I put in powered intake vents (cheap$20 fan power floor register) and moved my ballast out of the room, now ambient of 74.3, and hovering 80 under the light. The plus side my bedroom does not feel like a freezer now, as I was able to raise the temp on the AC! Night time...

    First Grow

    What exactly sounds complicated to you? The hydro setup? I contemplated using soil but figure hydro in the small space will help produce more, if I can keep PH and nutes right. Its my first round so if the hydro system does not do well I will go with something simple next time like soil. I am...
