    Is it chop chop time?

    Really difficult to see the trichs with this super shakey camera but it looks like 10-20% amber now? Should I chop now or can it wait until Saturday? The lower buds aren’t quite done though. Chop half and let the bottom sit a few more days? Or should I lights out for 24hrs and chop tomorrow...

    Late flowering bud leaves turning yellow?

    I had an issue with a uncalibrated ph pen several weeks back which ended up making a bunch of leaves spotted and deficient. I since got a new ph pen and fixed the issues (i think). Last three weeks the leaves started the same but she kept growing bigger and bigger buds so i figured everyone was...

    Help with overcrowded and stretchy autos with no room left.

    Week 8 of my two autos. Been trying to do mild lst to lower the tallest buds but this is getting out of control and I’ve run out of room. Not sure what to do now aside from keep on bending the taller stems over. I also have some weird nute deficiency so I did a complete water change today...

    Sudden yellow sploches. Help!

    I had what seemed like overly strong nutes last week whenI was running about 740ppm (.5ec scale) so I diluted the solution a bit to 500 last weekend and let it further dilute down to 380 by just topping with water. Last night, I added back flower nutes to about 650ppm over the course of two...

    Trimming lower bud sites?

    My two autos are exploding like crazy in flower. I already did a very light defoliation of the bottom areas where the leaves were blocking airflow or going yellow (about ten fan leaves total). I also had a slowly decreasing ph problem so I lightened up the ppm a bit from ~1.45ec to ~1.0 and the...

    Is the preflower stage?

    I’m trying to figure out what nute ratio to feed and nit really sure what stage this is. Is this preflower? How much longer before I should switch to flowering nutes? Thus is an auto on day 39 since sprouting and 32 since transplant into dwc. Had a slightly slow start due to leds being too...

    What to do with old damaged leaves?

    4th week since germination on my autos. Rdwc, flora nutes at 5ml/ea per gal and 3ml of calmag using 2gal tap and 8 gal ro water. H2O2 and bleach cycled every other week. Had some early deficiencies (no idea what) but they mostly went away since my full res clean-up/change a week ago. Had a...

    What is this bubble in my res bucket?

    Rdwc, 68-72F, 400ppm flora series, no light leaks. Ran h2o2 and had some of this stuff, switched to bleach at 2ppm and still have this stuff. Looked under microscope and it doesn’t appear to be algae. Plants and roots are doing fine.

    UC Roots vs. HOCL 500

    Some people swear by UC Roots, while others say to use pool shock as a cheap alternative. But pool shock/bleach is actually slightly different than hypochlorous acid (HOCL, the stuff in UC Roots). But, without going into that rabbit hole of a discussion regarding the two, it seems like recent...

    Autodosing "UC Roots" or H2O2 w/ aquarium doser?

    Has anyone setup an autodoser to add oxidizers to their res water? I've seen dosing schedules for both H2O2 and UC Roots (I know I can't use both at the same time) and was wondering if the water needs the shock factor of the high/low cycle of these oxidizers or if I can just maintain a somewhat...

    Slightly rough start, do these look okay?

    I had a really weird issue with my dwc ppms increasing every day for a somewhat unknown reason. 5 days after transplanting them into the net pots, I decided to do a full system water change with 8gal distilled water and one gal of fridge filtered water. Added back 10ml ea of the gh nutes and...

    ppm keeps creeping up

    Background: I built what is essentially a mini continuous flow DWC system using 2x 5gal growing buckets and 1x 5gal res. 400gpm pump sends soup to the 2 growing buckets that fill via waterfall action and a raised drain tube (that allows me to easily adjust water level) drains much faster than...

    Tall seedlings with bent cotyledons

    First time with seedlings and all the pics I've seen online show short stout seedlings but mine are really long with bent cotyledons. These are autoflower hybrids. I started in rockwool. thoroughly rinsed it with PH'd water then set it on some hydroton and put the seeds in about 1/2way into...

    RDWC design feasibility questions

    Been doing a ton of research on hydro setups, but I'm not sure I've been going in the right direction or just down the rabbit hole. I'm trying to make a low-maintenance system for a small 2-plant autoflower grow w/ ScOG in a rather small 2.5x2.5 tent using 150w LED full spectrum lighting. My...
