    physan 20 in my reservoir

    So in an attempt to deal with root rot and other parasites/pathogens i added 10 ml of physan 20 to my 10 gal cloner reservoir. It foams up real nasty, and all signs of the competitor mold are gone. only now, my roots are staining redding and they seem weaker. My question is, is physan 20 only...

    bubbler seems weak? Or is it all about DO?

    so i have never used a dwc system and i recently set a 40 gal whisper pump to two 8" air stones in a 10 gal res.. ive read about people using just a 10 gal pump like this and getting by fine, but it seems like my system is weak.. or is it not really supposed to be that turbulent? thanks :peace:

    Help me figure out my first DWC grow

    So all I really need to know right now is how feasible it is to have multiple plants (6) in different stages of flowering all in the same DWC reservoir? I was originally thinking to grow three rezs with two plants in each but then i'd need to buy more probes, and possibly more meters, though im...

    Monitoring multiple rez ph/ppm/temps with one meter?

    So I'm completely new to hydroponics and am at the initial stage where expenses start adding up.. i was wondering if anybody has done this before with good results. Can I use one tds meter to monitor mulitple reservoirs by having multiple probes? I want three dwc rez's with two plants in each...

    is it ever too late intio flowering to take clones?

    If i wanted to take some cuttings and my gals are about 4-5 weeks into flowering, they shouldn't have any problems taking root, right? Is there an ideal time? thanks

    bubblers or misters?

    so for future reference i'd like to hear some opinions on both dwc and on mister nozzle aeroponics. I figure a bubbler would be easier (less power consumption (right..?) and no clogging) but does it provide as wholesome of a mist as the nozzles would? what are the prod and cons here?

    Anyone know how Arjan at greenhouse seeds likes to grow?

    So I know that there's video footage of about every strain that they offer, but I'm having trouble finding out if they throw down in hydroton or rockwool... and is it a constant drip system? it seems to be consistent in every video, but I don't want to watch every video looking for the one that...

    Using rockwool in a non-hydro setup

    Ok so I wanted to see what everyoine thought about this style of grow: From clone In rockwool (only) Watered manually Fed GH 3-part, plus floralicious and superthrive under CFLs at first, then 1000 MH (possibly only 1000 HPS) , then flowered under hps ...i know rockwool is typically used in...

    Disadvantages to growing solely under 1000 HPS?

    ....Outside of the earlies stages where they will be under CFLs, is there any reason that I need to buy a metal halide as well? I know the entire grow can be completed under a HPS, but would the results be that much better if i used a MH for veg? I know the differences in light spectra and all...

    HPS give off more heat than equal watt MH right?

    I've never owned or operated a meta halide before, and i just wanted to make sure that they're not quite as hot as the hps... i really dont feel like investing in a coolable hood for the MH as I'ce already getting one for the HPS.. do you think I could get away with an uncooled 1000 watt MH...
