I'm taking my first shot at hydroponics using Lucas formula and so far things are going great. The plant is at five weeks today and is looking good to my inexperienced eyes, but I have a question. Before this I always bought auto-flower seeds but this time I used seeds from an auto-flower I planted outside that was inadvertently pollinated (neighbor's plants?) and I know that the likelihood of the seeds I used being auto-flower are low to nil. So these are probably just pot seeds, no... Read more ..read more

Pull up a chair folks. We have feminized gelato and critical white that we initiated on 4/20. Both are doing well with half strength nutes and full dose of hydrogaurd and calmag. Water temp is running warm at 72, going to try something new this time in addition to my wet towel remedy, which is to run dryer vent tube from ceiling vent into bottom of tent. I’ll let you know how that turns out ..read more

Always been a soil person and seen its starting to be a pain , and so I came up with a cheaper way to do hydro so tell me if it will work. Im certain everyone has seen the like 4x4 squares with net pots going down at an angle into resivor from a stand Slightly higher than the square box tray things...Pretty much im replacing their small trays with much larger tubes and I can build it myself at roughly 200$ Ill post a pic~ If I decided to buy a cheap Bin , Add 10" pvc pipe and cut holes in...

Ok so this “should” be my last silly question here. I’ve read about this for dirt growers but can’t really find much as far as hydroponics, DWC specifically. I plan on harvesting really soon and I’ve noticed my reservoir could use a top up. What if I just let it dry out since harvest is right around the corner? I’ve read on some of these forums and blogs that it produced some of the best weed ever smoked. So says them. They say cut fan leaves and let plant dry up and start to wilt. Just...

Hello fellow dwc growers. Question. When readying new water for reservoir change…do you just mix nutes and pour it into your reservoir or do you let new water sit so nutes can completely dissolve and then pour it in ..read more

Hello all. New to the site and just looking for some feedback. This is my first ever grow hydroponically and was just wondering how I’m doing and how the plants look. My main concern is the fact that I’m 4 weeks and 2 days in and I have no actual buds. Flipped to 12/12 on 11/16. Also the yellowing of the lower leaves and the brown spots developing on the upper leaves. There are trichomes everywhere on the leaves surrounding the pistils though. I’m growing using the dwc method in a 5 gallon... Read more ..read more

I am all over this place, and the place. Coffee and a second Bowl for breakfast.. hehehe.. 100 and some odd threads in the Hydro section and I am trying to see if anybody has done a side by side running organics in one and dissolved solid or chemical in the other. When I was last running 6 - 7 years back I was running DIY-PVC-NTF using organics. Messy, sometimes the nutrients were a little smelly, dead fish and seaweed and all, and caused a lot of clogged hoses and build up etc. This... Read more ..read more
