Hey everyone! We are a couple that recently became legal in Michigan. We have done research for years and feel we are finally mature enough and financially ready, to grow our own medicine. We are SUPER f#cking pumped lol. Understanding the plant or how it grows i.e. lighting, enviroment...

Active hydroponics requires a pump to supply plants with hydration, duh. But I have killed so many crops that I have pretty good reasons why it happens. Sometimes the fault lies in the machine, but usually fault lies in man. So maybe others too can learn from my fuckups. · Never go a day...

So I've been reading online and it sounds like I only water my DWC with just my nutrient solution is that true???

Hey RIU. So, I'm building a replica of a CCH2O UC8 DWC system. If you go to - http://cch2o.com/under-current-instructions/ - its basically everything you need right there to start building your own. Their standard 8 site system w/ 8 gallon square containers and 2x 5.5" net-pots is selling...
