What kind of yields have you been getting in soil?hi everyone.. just looking into a dwc or rdwc system... i have almost completed my second grow in coir and im struggling with my yields.
So is it true that hydro growing can increase yields? And what kind of problems could I open myself up to by growing this way? I am still in my first 12 months of growing so I obviously have a lot of learning ahead of me still.. Are nute problems more common? Water tempreture hard to control?
My situation goes like this...
Im a uk grower and my grow tent is in a concrete garage at the bottom of my garden, there is no water supply inside and no drainage inside. I have a outside tap at the house and a drain there too.
Its coming into spring time now, so the tempreture outside will be cooling, do i then need to be looking at a water heater for the res?
ive alot of question and need alot of help and input i think...
I have gotten great results with seeds from Nirvana Seeds. I like their feminized seeds, currently growing white widow and ak48.I was wondering about growing straight from seed. Seems logical as then I know the complete history of the plants... can you recommend the best place to buy from for a UK grower?
I live where the water is soft and I still check ph regularly, u definitely want to be checking ur ph mateit all helps mate, thankyou. I have never checked my ph or ec in my 2 grow career but i will be getting one of those sticks for regular testing next grow. i have come to realise its all very important stuff.
The guy who got me into growing in the first place said he didnt bother with ph as we are a hard water area and it should be fine.. hmm, i think i was ill informed.
You definitely need to set your ph in hydro mate... much less of a buffer round the roots than with coir.. your ph is probably about 7 from the tap which will be too high in hydro.it all helps mate, thankyou.

Buy a decent ph pen, the cheap ones are cheap for a reason..
Setup a drain to waste tray with a drip feeder and a water butt for your reservoir in the shed..
you'll need a water heater in a few months seen as its autumn soon (not spring ;))
Make sure you know what you're growing so you can research it a bit..
If you struggle for height don't get a sativa dominant strain as it will grow tall very quickly and double in height when you flip..
Good luck!
You could still pop a couple of seeds and get them going.. lookThanks mate this is all the tips and tricks I need to be getting at the min. Just had our notice given to us on our rented house on tus day. So I'm going to suffer a month or 2 without growing until I get to a new house..
