Should I toss it and start again once the heat wave passes?
Intense 41°c heat, and 1 mistaken day before that heat of letting the water level drop which is what damaged the roots so much
Day 48 since switching to 12/12, water chiller struggling to go below 24°c but air temps are not around 35
Was also running night cycle lights, ive dropped light to lowest % and raised it as high as possible
I’m going in to flower within the next 2 weeks and it’s my first time growing in hydroponics. This girl is 5 weeks old. Im using the floraflex line, cal-mag and silica blast by botanicare and i also have some BioAG Ful-Humix( haven’t used yet ). I also have a 5 inch air stone in the bottom connected to an Air hose for the water. Should I be using anything else that can potentially help me more?
Currently using a 5 gallon four bucket system with a 60watt pump. I’ve grown really tired or picking the entire lids up off the bucket to fill and drain the buckets. I feel like it moves the plant around too much and it is tiresome trying to hold the lid and weasel the hoses around.
I certainly don’t mind making my own, and would really enjoy it. So my question is: is it worth it, to make my own, or buy the spider farms (or similar set if anyone has any suggestions) with the little triangle hole.
It would cost me more to make my own
Looking at
$75 net pots, hose, grommets, black paint
Choice 1: https://www.chewy.com/frisco-heavy-duty-storage-container/dp/1020286
$125 ($200 total) 8 gallon water capacity
Choice 2: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Redmon-10-Gal-Stackable-Shutter-Bins-3-Piece-Recycling-Storage-Set-Multi-Color-WCR-7319-HD/341623892
$155 ($230 total) 10 gallon water capacity
Choice 3: https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-dwc-hydroponics-grow-system-with-top-drip-kit-7-gallon-deep-water-culture-with-15w-air-pump-4-buckets/
$175 (total) 7 gallon water capacity
So building my own buckets would be around $200 and i’d keep using my 60watt pump and 4x2 airstones. I’m not so sure I like the spiderfarm is only 11watts and uses those pucks. But if the spiderfarm (or similar option) would be the better option, I’d understand.
Someone out there got to know the name of that killer strain that we referred to as hydro…We had Brick, Bail, commercial, skunk, and Dro or Hydro…My next grow is going to depend on all your answers and hopefully one of them gives me the answer I’m dying for…I’ve heard Northern Lights, Jack Herrer (Which is my guess), and afghan kush but that stuff was so delicious that you had to dry hit it a few times just to get a taste of that killer green…I can still taste the aftertaste in my memory…
Thoughts 🤔💭 ?
Marshydro tent 39"x39"x71"
AC Infinity IonBoard EVO 3 LED Light,
Two oscillating 6" fans..
16000 BTU portable AC Outside the tent, with a Double Carbon filtration system
6" filter inside the tent connected to a 400 CFM inline fan exhausting air out a duct into a 345 CFM inline fan connected to a 4" filter outside the tent, This Double scrubbing system keeps a Neutral to slightly negative pressure inside the tent.
The DWC Reservoir is a Coleman 316 Series 120QT cooler with a 100gph air pump with a pond air diffuser creating a lot of bubbles inside the reservoir...
I am running a Water circulator in the reservoir connected to a Water Chiller outside the tent keeping reservoir temps at a set 67.5F 😎
This is a Mendo Breath Fem that is on day 47 of flower…I kept her in a 2 month Veg and topped it several times and places…I was trying to see if I could grow a plant that puts out a pound (after dried and cured) indoors in DWC…Anyone think I’ll make it and how many ounces are you guessing…The buds are So sticky and frosted and nice and Dense too…Appreciate some guesses…How bout closest person might recieve a free jar in the mail if your willing to except it??? It got a nice tree trunk don’t it?
