So I went to Lowe’s the other day and picked up some stuff. I bought 5 gallon commander XL buckets. The ones with the yellow lids. I’ve seen people using them on YouTube but I’m wondering if the plastic is safe for my plants? Also I bought some PVC piping. It says “schedule 40 - NSF DVW” on it...

I’m building an RDWC system and I’m pretty stumped on the inline pump. I’ve looked at a few on amazon and all of them have bad reviews which worry me. Don’t want one that will die on me cuz that seems like it could be a real problem. So my questions are: Do you guy have any pump brands that you...

My tap water comes in around 40ppm after running it through the brita pitcher. So far my plants (2 in veg, 1 seedling) are doing great started all 3 at the same time just got a straggler. Will I need to switch to distilled/ro later? Or will it be fine to keep using the filtered throughout?

Hey there Gods of Growing!!!! First run at Cannabis and started them from seed around May29th in MO (outdoor hydroponics). I am not sure if I am ready to harvest or need some time, I personally think I need some more time... One thing I don’t see much of is the round ends on the white hairs...

Hey y'all, So I just bought a 4'x4' Gorilla Grow tent. My main focus is maximizing harvest YIELD potential. I'm wanting to use a hydro or aero setup, but haven't decides on what type of system. My main question is: Realistically, what's the max amount of plants I should try to grow...

Hydro noob here, building a 4 site RDWC: 4x 5 gallon buckets, with a 5 gallon res, so probably 15-20 gallons when full (going into a 4x4 tent/res outside tent). I live in a hot climate so I’m thinking instead of hot noisy air pumps, I’ll go waterfall, with an inline pump pulling water from the...

I run the general hydroponics flora line and mammoth P in a 24 plant 5-gallon bucket flood and drain system with a 200-gallon reservoir that I change around every 2 weeks. This plant Vegged for about a month and a half and is nearing 2 months in flower. My water temp was 63F the whole veg but...

Hello, Trying to figure out what these yellow spots are on my fan leaves. They are whitish/tan and all over the fan leaves. My leaves are also dark green and slightly drooping. I don't see any insects or critters running around on them. Leaf Septoria - Anyway I could verify this might be a...

I’m on my 3rd grow in ebb and flow recirculating style hydro. I took my rooted clones from my aero cloner and transplanted into hydroton. As soon as I transplant, yellowing occurs. My ph fluctuates from 5.5-6.2 and my ppm with the .5 scale is 725. I need help! I have no idea what I’m doing...

Hello! I'm growing the Royal Gorilla in my hydro system and a few weeks into the grow it started pre-flowering and thought nothing of it but as time progressed the plant started getting covered in trichomes, and calxyes.The plant also in the past few weeks started getting white/tan spots all...

Hi guys, I am running 100L reseviors, sterile, using 35% H2O2 @ 1.5m/L twice a week, for the past few months. Moving to Calcium Hypochlorite to reduce costs. Using this calculator https://handymath.com/cgi-bin/chlorined4.cgi To get 5ppm of Chlorine into 100L of water, using 65% available...

I'm looking to run some of H&G line, Aqua flakes a+b, shooting powder, root excelurator, bud xl, drip clean and top booster. Are there any alternatives I could use to replace the amino treatment, multi zen and magic green that I'm not using? From Canna or anyone else that's worth running? What...

Wassup RIU, I’m having a problem with a few of my 3 weeks old girls. I noticed my seedlings’ leaves is dropping down and curling a bit as you can see in the attachment. I am not worried if the old growth is curled but the new growth that’s coming out is looking droopy and curling down already...

This girl is 11 days old. She was growing slowly at first but now she's moving along much quicker. I have her in a 5-gal DWC which right now contains Armor Si, Hydroguard, and CALiMAGic (RO water). I have GH Trio ready to go. Is it the right time?

I have 5 gal bubblebuckets and hydroton as my medium. My seedlings just popped in some Rapid Rooter cubes. When I transplant them, do I have to top feed until the roots develop more or will the hydroton wick enough water?

What's happening people Hope everyone is good and well!!! Just want to know if anyone has used this ENDOSAN HYDRO 8??? I usually use SILVER BULLET & swear by it!! But my regular shop hasn't got it and obviously other shops are closed down due to the lockdown so yeah just wondering what peoples...

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen, i would like to discuss here about what i thought to do with my single (enormous) baby daughter, doing a two timed harvest on a single plant, meanwhile i'll may give someone some right tips and i would learn something from some real top growers. Hope the trip won't be...
