Thanks heisenbubble. Sorry for being a dick earlier. I will start reading and learning from all your stuff. My only excuse is I’m crazy busy, I had no idea this was going to be so hard, and I’ve spent 100 hours over the past few weeks researching this stuff which has seriously stressed me out since I don’t really have the time right now. But I’m making this a priority and I’ve got my head right going forward.

Smartest shit u said all night.listen to what event is saying man.and stop saying what other people said or are saying. there is alot of misinformation on the net.A dude yesterday said you can reverse a male im like wtf.you got 2 seasoned growers here giving u advice.and I rarely give shit so that' s alot.me and him run under current dwc.his was bought I built mine cause I don' like a few things they do so I changed it.plus I can space my stuff out how I want and I feel like mine flows a little better with the way I designed it.plus there filter location sucks if you run scrogs.
Let event help u.if you want to 86 that box and start over with a nice setup with a decent light he will walk you through but I guarantee you'l have some dank shit by time its' over.
I' sorry I don' have the time or patience and alot of my setup is so far advanced man u wouldn't understand.just stat with a basic setup and you will be killing it before u know it.

Just took this pic.i planted these clones 25 days ago.no additives.just 2 part floraduo and calmag that is it.they just got there roots literally 25 days ago.i run my water level to to the top squares on the nets.every root that hits the water I want it submerged.my water is chilled and I use hydroguard.no reason to have roots out of water for any reason whatsoever.its dwc.dunk them bitches.as long as your not up to the root crown.i take my time placing them in the nets and have a method for doing it.since I started doing this I get no more issues with drain fly larvae or root algae.

I need to order up some bacteria pronto, especially if I’m raising my temps a bit which I did today. Plant looks decent. I also set up the pH controller today and it’s locked at 5.8, since I’m out of town all week.

@EventHorizan so you definitely recommend the +life over other things like voodoo juice, hydroguard, etc?

yes I do.. I used hydrogaurd my first year and its not bad, but +life is just really good stuff, and it has everything hydrogaurd has, and more.. More experienced growers did the comparisons and I stand by their work..

OK thanks, ready when you are.
What you basically posted was dwc. An excellent way to grow. Pretty much what your doing now. Realize that your lights are very very under powered as well as shitty lighting. So really, everything you got needs replaced but your meter. You are looking at 500. Maybe a lil less. Maybe 400 if really good shopper.. And patient.

As for dwc, you might as well build a 4 bucket rdwc..
You need a 600 watt vented hood mh/hps.. $150 or so
Then 120 for 4 bucket waterfarm setup
another 75 on nutes/ph/beenies/calibration fluid
$100 for 4x4 tent.


Did you say you had a ph CONTROLLER?

Hey thanks for the reply. I may be overthinking it, but I'm only trying to figure out why my plant is stunted, growing slowly, and looks like crap. I'm using distilled water. Technaflora has something called MagiCal, so I'm just using that according to the instructions. I do believe the plant is eating nutrients because my PPM goes down by 10-20ppm per day, so that's good.
I prefer coco. My plants are the biz now.

They also look like they want fed a lil more often as you see with slightly droopy leaves. But like cactus said this is irrelevant to the op's questions...
Ive just raised ppm. Advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks EventHorizan. Im just 1 week into 12 - 12 . Sorry if seems irellevant, it just Ive started growing in coco and have no ph issues.

I didnt say raise ppm, I said up their feedings..
I apologize, I can see you are new, and really dont understand and I should of been more clear.
When I said up thier feedings, I meant the frequency, as in if you are watering them once a day, now do it twice a day to 15% runoff. Once at lights on, and once 9 hrs later(in veg).
I dont have no idea what your ppm is so I would never just blatantly tell you to raise ppm without first asking you where you are at now, and what nutes...
So what is your nutes and ppm so I dont get you jacked up? Then lets let OP have his thread back..

Great will do. I raised ppm as run off looked clear. Im running a 600 watt dual spectrum. In straght coco (Ive decided all ready to add perlite next run) im using GH trio nutes at exactly half recomended dose. Im growing 6 plants. 4 in 10ltr pots. 2 in smaller pots. More experimental on my part inspired by the many arguements ive heard and read, regarding coco and pot size. I must have been so stoned when i posted here lrrelevant for true ha ha. Maybe I thought it was a different one mmmm ?

That dude just shit all over this guys thread with a potato plant in coco.yeah we wanna go backwards to old days of lugging pots and checking run off and watering plants every 3 days haha.someone going from DWC to coco and bending down and over shit with 20 odd plants under scrogs is like doing your own hemmoroid surgery.once your start,about halfway through it you'll wish you never started.
He needs to take that eagle claw potato plant to his own thread.just saying.
