This is my first DWC grow, I've been a soil gardener for a long time. I've noticed the PPMs of my reservoir have been staying around 300ppm, while I replenish about 5 gallons of RO water a week to the 25 gallon reservoir. Everything seems to be going fine 2 weeks into flower and plants look...

I was using B-1 in the bucket solution. Room temp is about 70-76.

I'm starting to lose faith in my cloning ability. Last time I used this aero bucket years ago, I had 100% success with roots in 5-10 days. Now I'm on my 2nd attempt of clones and they are taking 3-4 weeks to root and then dying once transplanted. The clones that rooted from the first batch, only...

@boston Puff - I like the light, but as noted in this thread the center has a pretty intense hot spot. I've used HPS for years, and this is my first LED. I was skeptical at first, but the plants are happy! I'm consuming much less electricity with LED, it pays for itself in about 5 months. Also...

Air circulation is optimal - two fans and constant fresh air pulled in passively from the inline exhaust fan. I don't think nutrients are causing it, I'm feeding organic nutrients every other watering, half strength, and plants seem happy. The reason I believe it's light burn is because the...

This is my first grow using LED lighting in my 3'x2' space and I noticed my light is starting to burn the tips of the leaves that are directly under the center of the light. I raised the light all the way up (about 24 inches), and still noticing some slight burning. Vertical space is going to...

Water temp was 70. You think these clones should be tossed, or can they make a fully recovery into a healthy plant?

I thought it was on the high side, so after a week I replaced the water and brought down to 6.5, no changes noted.

I read that a humidity dome isn't required with an aeroponic cloner. I tried it anyways and then I noticed a powdery mildew starting to develop, so I took it off and just sprayed 2 times a day with water. Would burning of tips and yellowing have more to do with nutrients / light burn / PH...

Need help diagnosing these distressed clones. They were cut and put in the aeroponic bucket 10 days ago. I dipped them in a rooting solution prior to going in the bucket. I'm using plain tap water, ph 7, 70 degrees. Room temperature is 70 degrees , humidity 60%. Only one has roots so far. The...

I've been growing a number of years, but my next one will be the first time using an intake filter. I'll be using a Phresh 6x12 with a 440 CFM inline fan. Ambient temps will be about 50-65F at the air source. What's the best way to set up the intake? Should I rest it on the floor of my garage...
