    Second grow (S.A.D. S1), DWC, and late to the party...

    Nice. I love the smell of it, although it isn't that strong. I'm just a sucker for afghan-like strains, the taste is incomparable imho. What about your lady, she going well? And do you or will you do some defoliation of the lower leaves? I know theres even bushier strains but even after...

    Second grow (S.A.D. S1), DWC, and late to the party...

    Yo guys. Since I started my second grow I got a lot of help from members here because I had some problems with my DWC setup and some folks were faintly "requesting" for me to make some kind of journal. I only have a very tedious method of making pics of my ladies and since I'm a lazy cunt, I...

    Defoliation on super bushy plants

    Thanks, bud. Good to hear that they seem to do well. Yeah, I agree with you on the part of getting to know it first and then train it on the next runs. I would also just follow that rule of thumb if it wasn't for me wanting to maximize yield even now because of financial stuff. I know, not a...

    Defoliation on super bushy plants

    Hey guys. A while ago I made a thread on possible root problems, if anyone who was there can remember it. The roots have seemingly recovered and there haven't been any new problems so far. It's looking quite good and my two plants have grown quite bushy in the process. Both have assumed a kind...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Wait, what exactly happened here? Who is "rocketman" and why did this thread turn into a debate over water chillers and/or DO?

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    No, and I don't consider it. Constantly trying to sterilize the res with h2o2, although an entirely sterile res is impossible anyway, is already enough experimentation for my taste. I absolutely and strongly dislike this anyway, but apparently beneficials (hydroguard) can't handle my res for...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Well, I know that treating it with h2o2 will only prolong the problem and just reduce the risk. It's kind of like a race you just can't win. That being said, I really think, as you also said, it's probably the only choice right now. The cost won't be too high, too. When this batch survives and...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Is it even worth it when my res temps are constantly at 24-25°C ? I'm just overthinking the fact that in the conditions I grow combined with the water temps, I'm just bound to have this problem reoccur all the god damn time... My grow space has (my) hair, dust and dirt all over it and the whole...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Alright, I thought so about the nutrients, but I wasn't expecting this much and this quick of a change. No, I actually didn't pay much attention to cleaning up after I emptied the buckets. To be frank, I don't have any means of securing the lids of the buckets enough to be able to thoroughly...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Alright, so I'm on the brink of going mental about this. Overnight the pH went up from about 5.8 to about 7.8 in both reservoirs. I have no idea how or why. Also, both reservoirs smell different now, it's still an unpleasant smell and it wasn't there yesterday. To be honest, it smells like a...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Oh, sorry, might have forgotten to add that little detail. But yeah, I have a feed pump keeping it moist. Indeed there was too much bubbling going on and I need to thank you again because without your advice, I really think I would have missed this crucial error and ended up with either dead or...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Yeah, I will be changing the water later today and flush it through for 1-2 days without nutes and then start slowly again. Well, that link was a video I made, weird that it doesn't work. Sadly, I can't upload videos here. The bubbling is really good to see on a video compared to a picture...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Alright, so the new air pump came and I connected it just now. The bubbling has toned down quite a bit, but now I'm afraid that it might not be enough. Here, have a look: https://ufile.io/zxb4k I'm gonna change the water when the lights turn back on later and I'm gonna report here if my ladies...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Indeed. I just want to get rid of the damaged/rotting roots now and then switch back to beneficials asap. Do you have any advice on how I can reliably check or make sure when I can stop using the h2o2 and go back to the Hydroguard with a fresh new reservoir?

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Thanks, will do. How long does the h2o2 last in the water or I mean, when do I need to refill? And how long will I have to do this? I don't want to kill the beneficials again when I refill the reservoirs in 2-3 days.

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Alright, guys. I've ordered a low power air pump now and it should be arriving in 2-3 days from now. Hopefully, it will tone down the bubble turbulence quite a bit. Am I okay with waiting these 2-3 days more to also switch out the water and cleaning the res? Also, is there any way to help the...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Thanks for the chart, looks good! Yeah, I will prob not touch the CalMag again so soon or ever, have to see. By the way, the strain I'm growing is Sweet Afghani Delicious S1.

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Well, I don't live in the US, but don't worry, I have several different models in sight already, even before I started the current grow. But thanks anyway! And thanks for your help, I wouldn't have realized that there is dead root debris floating around without your hint. I would have had no...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Yeah, I get the water, add it to the res via a small pump, add hydroguard, add nutes and then let it mix for ~10 min. After that I adjust with the liquid GH pH down to about 5.8. Next time it creeps up to 6.2-6.3, I re-adjust. pH right now is 6.0 and 6.2, so I'll prob have to re-adjust later or...

    DWC/Bubbleponics root problems(?)

    Alright, I (tried to make) made a video. It's over here: https://ufile.io/2ll0x Sorry for the horizontal filming, but it should show the bubbling really well. What do you think? Also, I turned off the compressor and you're absolutely right. There are very small parts floating around, which is...
