Right now, and for a year, I've been feeding/flushing every other day based on the runoff. You can't really over water with coco, so it's ok to put the water to it. I feed a lot to the plant when it's feeding time, my goal is to stretch out the feeds so the plant doesn't get a blast of water...

It's drain to waste, so I don't recycle the runoff.

I feed them anywhere from 35 to 50 gallons every 2 days, depending on where they are in their life. Coco should stay moist or at least never dry out, so I imagine that is much like the rock wool. How do you automate your ph in the reservoir? What about nutes? That's pretty sweet that you can...

I guess I should have detailed that this isn't really a drip system because it isn't constant. I feed 35-50 gallons and would like to split this into two feedings in the 12 hour photoperiod. So, the timer turns the pump on, feeds half the plants, and then repeats the process 6 hours later. Am I...

I am using rain rings, so can't use the pressure regulating emitter tips. Everything is equal length and equal elevation.

I have ball valves on each of the 6 whips that feed the 4 way cross. I've messed with those in different ways but it doesn't help the pressure. I've been doing some more reading and it seems that my 1000gph pump has a PSI of around 4.7. I'm thinking a higher pressure pump would create more back...

I'm trying to automate my flower room. I have 18 plants in 7 gal coco pots. I purchased 9" Hydro Hat drippers, one for each plant. I have a 55 gal reservoir with a 1000gph pump pushing the water through 5/8" ID hose. from the pump it splits into a closed loop. I have reducers going from the 5/8"...

After the pruning the plant returned to good health. No idea what the issue was, but it resolved itself. It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

Unfortunately they’ve just had a pruning. :-/

Yeah, it’s affecting buds and leaves below the canopy as well, so I’m also skeptical. I’ve added another fan to the area and pulled up the lights some. I guess I’ll see.

My def?

Do you think this happens due to bulbs needing replacement? I have those three plants under the the same lights, and one of the three is healthy.

Two of my 18 plants in the same room, same nutes, same everything, are looking very unhealthy. They are in the 2nd week of flower, fan leaves and buds are shriveling up and dying, almost looking burned. But, they rest of the room looks perfect. I've never seen this leaf pattern before so the...

Awesome, thanks Monster. So, it turns out it's cheaper to buy out walmart of their 3% than it is to buy the concentrate. I guess I'll see if the 32% is more successful than the 3%.
