Will do. Appreciate the help

And i dont think he was being a dick to you, but like he said i dont think you get DWC yet first off you should never get root rot in a dwc run ever and why do you not have any water left in your bucket at the end of the week or water level should never change ever it stays at the same level at ALL TIMES you need to add water everyday so that it stays at the smae level every time you dont just fill your bucket once a week and just let the damn plant eat it its not a water bowl you keep the water at the same spot all the time and dwc plants dont get root rot maybe the way you are doing things becase reading this i no for a fact that you are not doing this right. why do people just start growing shit when they dont even understand what the hell they are doing. dont worry you wont have to worry about good weed cuz your shit wont be good doing the way you are doing things. you should have been reading for months before ever stating a grow.

Wow you guys are too much.... Well if it helps, You will want to make sure your water temps are kept under control. If they get to high your roots can experience some problems. Now that being said most people can veg without any problems but run into problems in the flower room as it tends to end up a bit hotter than the veg area. I have been growing for 13 years and I do nothing to address the water temps. My flower tent it at 80deg with lights on so I would assume my water temps are in the same ball park. I say assume because I am lazy and have not bothered to check the temp. I have not had any problems and have been very happy with the results so maybe that's why I have never bothered with all that. Growers in general but mj growers even more so have a way of over-complicating things. Like I said can be lazy and don't add water to the buckets every day to keep it at a certian blah blah blah... Christ that's so much work. Hell thats why I went to DWC. I had to muck going on to be watering plants every day and a few times I almost lost plants because I would forget or not have time to water today. For me DWC is as hands off as it gets. I do add water/nutes umm say every week. Just add I dont bother with changing everything each week. I used to be that guy with all the gadgets and obsecing over every little thing. and Now I just let it do its thing.All that other stuff is a waste of time and money imho. If it aint broke dont fix it. Now if I could just please never have spider mites again I will be happy.

How the heck do you get spider mites doing dwc??????
Get a bad clone from someone!!!!

I think the spider mites were on my Plumerias when I brought some cutting in my tent to experiment. Plus DWC is not the only way I am currently growing. Not sure that matters though as they are not in the medium but rather the on the plants. Nice avitar btw. Eddie is the best band mascot ever!!

why thanks and yes he is.......

and just wondering because i only do dwc and have never had spider mites is all.....

I hope you never get them. It is a fight thats a bitch to win.

Hope i dont ever get them either.....

Is your water properly aerated? Next thing is if the water level is too high, it's possible to drown the plant.

yea id say so i have around 7 gallons of water in my 6 site dwc sitting about an inch below my netcup with hydroton i have 2 air pumps , pump one is a dual line with 2 12 inch stones pump 2 is a single line with a 10 inch airstone

give me about 10 min ill try to get a pic if my phones charged and of my plant tell me if u think its overwatering im just going by pics on google, and here of overwatering , these are clones and this is my first grow dont be to harsh lol

peice of shit phones too dead for the camera ill puttem up later new growth looks goofy tho dark green with sum yellow patches and leaves look like fake plant leaves almost like thick plastic lol

heres a pic from last night
since then roots grew about 5 inches and i started feeding this morning

i was top feeding near the stem for a few days before this with light nutes really got my roots to grow fast

the plant on the lefts even worse but a completley different sent of problems i think its just coming out of nute burn or was just starving to death new growth looks green tho but really not growing as fast as the other one and its 5 days older im thinking it was just to small to begin with then as one of the bottom leaves was cannibilzing i cut it off and then it sacrificed other leaves , so i just left the dead ones dangling on this plant and ended up getting new growth at the beginning of it as u can see

I like to have my water 1 inch from the bottom of the net pot. Anything extra is wasted space IMO
Those pics were about 2 weeks apart works for me

yea thats about where im at an inch i just got my tds and ph meter so hopefully i can get everything dialed in right now. i was using a liquid tester with the dropper and was running around 6.3-6.4 i got it at 5.8 now , water temp is 74.7 , week one fox farm feeding 260 ppm and for some reason this pen doesnt have an ec. do i need one as long as i got the ppms
