    Cleaning RDWC with H202 before transplant - how long / how much?

    How long do you typically run H202 (29%) in a basic RDWC to clean out the buckets between grows? 24 hours? How much H202 per gallon of water? 10ml per gallon is what someone told me, just want to confirm. For what it's worth, my setup is 6 of the 5 gallon buckets connected to a 12 gallon ice...

    2nd harvest, unintentionally pollinated again. Help please.

    This is my second grow, and am about to harvest 2 shorelines and 2 lemon skunks. I just pulled a bud off from a shoreline's lower branch under the scrog screen and found several large developed ceeds in it. The lemon skunks were clones taken from the first grow, the shorelines were grown from...

    Optimal water temperature for rdwc?

    Just wondering what others that have a water chiller set the temperature to. I know it should be under 70 degrees, but is there a sweet spot? Also wondering if it helps to slowly lower the water temperature as you get closer to the end of flowering?

    Advice on when to start flush in rdwc (pictures)

    I guess this is somewhat controversial and there several thoughts on how and when to flush, but I am getting to the end of my first grow and am somewhat lost on how to proceed.

    I am at a crossroads with my first grow, currently have 3 bagseeds and 3 dna genetics lemon skunks about 3 weeks into flower. I am trying to decide how to handle the 6 clones I took and which plants to keep. I am wondering if anyone out there has grown some random bagseeds before and found a...

    Scrog screen in RDWC - impractical?

    Currently stumbling through my first grow, 6 bucket RDWC in the first week of flower, with a screen hanging over the canopy to keep things even. The screen isn't permanently attached, it hangs from strings at the moment since I was unsure how the hell I would be able to clean out the buckets...

    $300 water chiller 1/10hp for 6 bucket RDWC: completely useless?

    Been looking at some water chillers on Amazon, there's a $300 Active Aqua water chiller on there and I was told this is complete garbage and isn't going to get my water temps for a 6 bucket RDWC lower than 70 degrees and will be a complete waste of money. Obviously it won't function as good as...

    1000W MH bulb fails to start up with dimmable ballast/timer

    Bought a Nano Xtreme 1000W dimmable ballast and a Digilux 1000W Mh bulb. They ran fine when I first plugged them in to test it for an hour or so. Then the MH wouldn't fire up at all when I tried it again a few weeks later. Took the ballast and bulb back to the hydro shop and they tested them...

    2 weeks old: too hot? over watering? defeciency/nute burn?

    These lemon skunk seedlings are 2 weeks old and just started showing problems in the last 48 hours. Moved these 3 from the T5 room to the 1000w (dimmable) metal halide room yesterday which is a good 3 feet above the buckets. This room has better climate control with an air conditioner in the...

    When to move seedlings from under T5 to 1000W MH?

    I have 6 seedlings in a DIY 5 gallon bucket RDWC currently a few inches under a T5 light. Seedlings sprouted through the rockwool 1 week to 12 days ago. At what point would it be better for their growth to move them under a 1000W MH (can be set to 600/750/1000W)? I have read some saying keep...
