If you want yeilds with leds go with qb boards or cobs.

Point taken. I'll leave one or two alone then top the rest one time. Since I have an extra tent I'm going to have RDWC in one tent and organic soil in the other so I'm interested in seeing the differences between those as well.

Thanks for the advice. I got a three pack of the fourmstomper so I'll probably run a little experiment. Let one with no topping just LST, top 2 times and top one 3 times. What lights and medium are you running?

Did this effect your yeild/grow time? I am going to try out some autos from mephisto but high stress training seems to be a pretty debated topic.

When your plants grow are they nice and bushy or tall and stretchy? If you are only giving then 70w they could be stretching to much towards the light due to the low intensity.

No hard feelings. I didnt take it as a rant just explaining my side a little more. I'm still only my first one. So far they are stanky as fuck so it doesn't seem to be lacking. Any suggestions for hydro additives for terps?

Never said I'm looking for a magic bullet. I have an extra tent and getting the soil and nutrients is cheaper than building another RDWC. Also that's why I am trying it for myself not saying I'm ditching hydro but may as well give it a try.

I feel like what you said is just a blanket statement. I started my first grow with hydro and havent had any pest issues and have not been constantly chasing my tail like you mentioned. While one can argue that growing organic can have better flavor I think hydro outputs more weight. Everyone...

Without pictures it is hard to say. If you look at the chart I attached you can see even if you pH is off you will get some nutrients but not all. This could explain why they grow some but not all. I would look into adjusting pH. If you want better advice we need better information. It is near...

There are bunch of things you will want to change. Do you compost the animal shit you are using? If not you are probably burning them to death. If your pH is not in the correct range you plant cannot absorb nutrients from the soil. Not to sound like an ass but it sounds like you have a lot of...

If you are using a tent looking qb boards or Samsung f series light strips if you want to diy. The board put off way less heat than cobs.

Definitely cut way back on nutes. I use CANNA nutrients and I believe their reccomend dose puts you at about 1400-1600 ppm. This is far to much especially considering it's the the only thing you are putting in. Just to put that in perspective my total ppm in my buckets is about 1100. This is...

If you look at the ingredients it is the same as hydroguard so I'll give it s try. It It cheaper and in have seen other people using it so why not.

I current have a DWC system and run bennies. I use mycogrow by fungi perfect it is really nice but a little to pricey for my to add them every couple days. They do have big bag for more bulk pricing. I am thinking of switching to hydro guard for daily use use the mycogrow as a booster.

You never want to put molasses directly in your dwc rez. If you add the molasses directly to the rez you can be feeding bad bacteria/algae. Did you mention your rez temps? I use bennies called mycogrow by Fungi Perfect and to feed them I use black strap molasses. My dec buckets stay between 65...
