Any suggestions to help a UCDWC system, 2" pipes, and too big of plants? My roots are so big they are slowing and sometimes blocking water flow in the system. Because of this, my nutrients, ph adjustments, etc... are all very slow to circulate. Thanks in advance.

No laughing! They were started way the hell back in October. This was my mate and mines first grow and a combination of things delayed us. First our hydro setup wasn't completed until 8 weeks after we started them in a couple aero totes. Then we had to go through the learning curve to get...

I have six gigantic plants in hydro, not much room left. I flipped them a couple days ago but I know that supporting these is going to be a huge challenge. Can anyone make some suggestions on what I could do to support these? I'm pretty sure it's way too late for netting. I don't have...

So you don't add any veg nutes at all when you flip? From a few different posts, I'm just concerned that I may end up with some N deficiency during the transition period. How often do you do water changes after flipping. My strain is an 8-9 week flower. GM15 I do have some pure N additive...

I have a 62 gallon tote UCDWC setup running. I am at the end of veg and ready to flip. I'm using Botanicare Pro Nutrients, Cal-Mag with my RO, and Liquid Karma. From everything I have read, you need to keep some Veg nutes in during the transition phase. How do you do this without wasting a...

Hydro in totes, 1000w HPS. Long story short. I have 6 plants that were vegged out for months. I didn't intend to veg that long but this is grow #1 and I had some challenges before I got everything dialed in. They are bushy monsters. About a month ago (at the advice of a fellow RIU member) I...

Thanks CodeWarrior. Your assessment seems to be spot on. Especially since Zinc lockout in hydro occurs at 5.7 and up and I have been running above that for a few weeks now. I have dropped it down to 5.5 for the moment and will give the ladies a few days to recover before I bump it back to...

I guess this was also probably important to mention. It seemed to start the yellowing after moving them from under T5's to 1000W HPS. Could it just be that they are just starving and I need to up my overall PPM? I'm @450ppm but way way into veg. (my room just got completed to move these under...

Here is one more picture if anyone else wants to chime in.

Hydro setup Late veg pH 5.9-6.3 Water Temp 74-79 Air Temp 79-85 ppm ~450 (low on purpose) using RO water and adding Epsom to supplement Mg Using Botanicare Grow formula Anyone have any idea what is causing this yellowing on the leaves and browning on the outer edges?

I am going to put my mothers in soil. 5 Gallon buckets with 6" Net Pot Lids. Do I fill the net pot portion with hydroton like my hydro or should I also put soil in there too? Any help is appreciated.

This would probably make sense. I've been using Epsom successfully to supplement my RO. I thought I would wait and see if there would be any Ca issues before I switched to Cal-Mag. I've been using Botanicare Grow Plus, small amount of H2O2 peridically, RO water, and Epsom. Think I should...

BUMP. Better picture of browning edges.

I am getting some leaves in the middle and lower branches getting a little brown on the edges and tips. Any chance that this is caused by a lack of light penetration? They are under T5's and getting pretty tall. All of the other environmental stuff seems to be in check. My pH meter is acting...

BUMP. Anyone running hydro in totes and have this problem?

Anyone else out there running a hydro setup and have issues with the plants wanting to fall over? Kind of top heavy? I had a lot of issues this grow so maybe my root ball isn't big enough? Stem not think enough? Beats me...this was my first grow. Please let me know if I should expect my...

I have 6 sativa dominant females that have been through hell and back. This was my first indoor grow, so while I was hoping for the best, I expected to run into problems. I've had Ca/Mg deficiency, mites, low humidity, and then burnt the crap out of them when I foliar sprayed the mites. So...

I thought for sure my pH pen (cheap) was broke and upgraded to a nutradip tri-meter. LOL. Thanks for the feedback. Now I know why my poor ladies were getting nutrient issues this whole time.

I did read another similar post from 5-6 years ago but any feedback would be amazing. Problem: My pH drops to around 4 after I add my nutrients Setup: I start with RO water with pH of 7 and ppm of 40 I also add Epsom at very low quantities and H202 at very low quantites. pH is a little...

I've been running between 300-400 ppm for the last two weeks. They are only under T5's right now because my larger space isn't ready to receive plants yet. Otherwise they would be under 600HPS and then 1000HPS during flower. I think the ppm should probably be higher but I had major lockout...
