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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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 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 had a major mite problem (as you can tell by the leaves) that seems to be under control now. I was also making a few adjustments to my DWC to compensate for a Mg deficiency. The Mg deficiency seems to be corrected and I have the mites under control. Purple stems I think was caused early on...

This may be too vague of a question because of all the differences in genetics and phenotype but I'd appreciate any FRIENDLY feedback. I'm trying to determine how all of the issues, stress, and imperfect growing conditions have impacted my first grow. Here are some pictures of my first 7...

Due to not having my room setup quickly enough, my future mother have gotten much bigger than I originally planned in my aero setup. I was planning on only keeping them in there a week or so after rooting and then moving them into 5 gallon buckets of soil. They are now coming up on 1.5 ft tall...

I am having to supplement my RO water with Epsom salt. My RO water is about 40 ppm. When I add my Epsom the ppm reading goes up to 1040 ppm. (1 TBSP/gallon) I am in early veg and would like to keep my ppm at about 400 for now. I'll adjust it if needed. Question: How do I get an accurate...

I have an 18 gallon tote with an aeroponic manifold (from my cloner) in it. 6 ladies in 6" net pots filled with hydroton. This is temporary until my UCDWC is finally finished. Everything but the humidity and Ca Mg has been under control thus far. Water temp has been 62-70 degrees. Humidity...

Strain: Jilly Bean sativa Setup: Plants are currently in 6" net pots, hydroton, 18 gallon tote, with an aeroponic setup inside. I'm waiting to finish up my UCDWC setup so I can transfer them into that. Water Temp: Water temp has been around 75 degrees on the high side and when I add...

I'm a newbie, please go easy on me! I am in the process of reading the entire plant problem section but don't want to lose my babies in the meantime. Problem: I'm not sure if the yellowing here exceeds the normal. Please put your opinion out there. Strain and Rooting Method: I am just...

I am a licensed caregiver in the Maricopa area and have made time and space to take on 1 or 2 new patients. I am an experienced cultivator and take pride in growing Grade A Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid strains. Let me know your favorite and I'll work on getting it in the veg box. I am happy to...

Anyone have an opinion (ha ha...lots of those around here) on what is the best containers to use for a UCDWC setup. I'm trying to decide between some sturdy 10-17 gallon totes or 5 gallon buckets. Each will only hold one plant each in my flower room.Pros and Cons of each????Will a 5 gallon...
