As far as the water level I try to keep mine about an inch from the bottom of the net pot so all roots have easier access to the water if they dry out to much can attract bugs like gnats they eat your roots fast.
Ok so I'm doing a dop fed DWC everyone says I need the water level to the roots or below the net pot. No one is saying why the levels should be where they are. My thought would be that I can keep them as low as my top fed pump can suck would save me on water nutes and also help keep the water as oxygenated as possible. PLEASE HELP!! No short answers without telling why or a good reason. Thank you
u dont mine foxtails I see.. that one bud weighs 2 ounces? And thats dry?All is to shelf buddy I'll show scale pic when all is done and show you the 8pds on a scale I know what I know and I'm happy to show it.
Boom boom that's a lot closer to what I was looking for for an answer simple but explains. So basically as long as my roots don't dry out and I'm pumping enough water over them I don't need water all the way to the roots or net potThe reason for lack of answer to a 'simple question' could be your opening statement. Did you mean dope or top? If you are top feeding then all the roots are getting fed, therefore, water/nute level is not important, assuming your feeding cycle is frequent enough to not allow roots to dry out
hth
Why would you not have it that far up, or with-in at least an inch? Explain to me what the problem is? I never seen a thread get stuck on weather to keep your water level at the bottom of a netpot or an inch underneath it.. Either is fine, and further up, can drown the root crown. Too far down and you not utilizing the bucket that holds the solution, as in when the level drops, ppm rises, and ph drops.. causing problems..Boom boom that's a lot closer to what I was looking for for an answer simple but explains.

I think I follow you, even tho that is the longest sentence in history, that I know of..What he is saying it's here doesn't want water in the bucket he wants to use less water cuz water insane dirt cheap enough I've never had a bill over 35 bucks lol he's drip feeding to try to save answer is yes you can feed like that I wasn't understanding what he was trying to do but yes that's fine in a way not recommended simply cuz not enough oxygen to the roots u can do it if you want to save a couple of bucks but you lose way more in yield.
I dont use anything for additives and grow 2 liter colas.Its all about healthy roots.Ferterlizer comes in N P and K.thats it.Its the ratios that matter.When all that junk is broken down to a micro level the plants dont care one way or the other.Healthy unclogged roots will absorb more than roots covered in gunk.That's a great idea to tape the net pots and over fill I don't tape but I keep over filled my roots turn a brown tint around week 4 but that's because I use G10. My roots are snow white up to til then. If you don't use it as and extra additive I highly recommend, if I don't I lose close to 2 to 4 Oz's a plant just what helps me a lot.
If anyone wants to know what I feed and how I do it feel free to message me. Til then happy growing and better smokin.
What do you mean....harvesting twice? Like take the stretchy tops, trim them, and a week later take the rest?I just dont see good quality bud underneath 18" unless I clip all at 12", and flush for another week... JUST MY OPINION...
Harvest the top 8 inches and go another week and harvest the rest is what i was referring too..What do you mean....harvesting twice? Like take the stretchy tops, trim them, and a week later take the rest?
Not giving you a hard time, I'm genuinely not sure what you mean...
I'll try it!Harvest the top 8 inches and go another week and harvest the rest is what i was referring too..
