That’s impressive. I’ve been watching your two Phillips bulbs comparison log and it’s definitely thrilling to watch you hit numbers like you do. I’m not going for crazy ass numbers but I’m definitely looking for a hefty increase.I feed heavy. By rhe technaflora sheet, my flower feeds are 1480ppm. I do a feed/water/feed cycle. And kill it every run. It IS genetic and grower experience. But I pull numbers like 1k grower do. Every run.
Are you using technaflora recipe for success. That was one of the better synthetic lines i ever used. I had great yields with it.I feed heavy. By rhe technaflora sheet, my flower feeds are 1480ppm.

Hey brotha, I’m gonna be honest here it wasn’t for me, I switched back to dwc, maybe I should switch the thread or rename it. I had issues getting algae but I believe it was due to lack of using hydroguard or a water chiller. I had a ton of success with dwc and like they say if you got a good thing going don’t change itRHINObeast,
It looks like your using a DIY UC system. I built one myself and am testing a second. Can you tell us more about how it is built? Sounds like it is working well, are you chilling the water?
Thanks,
Dee

Well even in dwc I don’t use hydroguard, but I do use silica blast by botinicare and it helps defend off climate issues and makes for stronger plants. I use about 1ml per gallon. I don’t do anything at all to control the temps and never have had issues in just dwc. I do change the nutes over in the veg cycle once after 30 Days, and the next swap isn’t until I flush. When I transition I leave the plant in the same nutes it had in veg for a week to adjust, then from day 7 to day 21 I work my way up the ppm charts. For me it’s better because I can control each individual bucket, and I constantly top them off with plain PhD water.I have had some algae as well but for me it is just because I had not blacked out my buckets yet and some light was getting in. However, I do water changes about every 10 days and that seems to keep it down to a minimum. I also use a chiller, did straight DWC for almost 2 years but always struggled with water temps and had to ultimately keep my room cooled to 69F or slightly lower to keep the water clean and free of anaerobic bacteria. Growing and flowering at 69F is not ideal so that for me was the ongoing comprimise of DWC. Also had to use a fair amount of H2O2. How do you control the water temperature and quality when you do straight DWC?
So far I am about 4 weeks into using a UC system and my roots systems are so much more developed than ever before and the main trunks are clearly bigger (1 week after flip) than I have ever seen in previous grows with the same strain.
Thanks,
