Sub’ed for fun, learned with soil and currently a RDWC Hydroponics grower with GG#4 in its second week of flower. That is what led me to you’re journal. If I can help in anyway I’ll let ya know. In the meantime I hope you get the plant up and running so the critters leave it alone.

Aloha, located on the Big Island. Long time grower here. Mostly inside due to neighbors and kids. Medical user/grower so not worried about the legality. Grow autos and pheno. Currently just harvested a GG4 Auto. Grow method is hydroponic waterfarms recirculating in a 4x4 tent with 750 Kind...

RDWC with totes are fantastic. It’s the method I use. Great yields. It seems the exact same but once you recirculate, it changes the variables, and it’ll seem like you’re starting over but it’s really pretty easy to do.

If you don’t nt have Hydroguard That would be my suggestion. Don’t buy any of the expert nutes till you have the three part down. If you already have and want to get into the details of mixing you’re own formula, my only advice is start at 1/4 strength and adjust up in small increments and let...

Yes it’s centigrade, it affects the ability to give a constant reading based on temp. So there’s a sliding scale. If I were you I’d invest in a good PH pen. Most issues that can go wrong are caused by big PH fluctuations. It’s my most important tool I use once the grow is up and going. I use a...

It’s all personal preference, I like the challenge and ability to adjust my mixtures. Some don’t want that and I understand. I like the taste also, haven’t tried any other so can’t attest to the nute or strain causing it, I’d like to thinks a little of both.....

Yes, I always have Cal/Mag on hand for any of my grows.

Here’s a Recirculating feeding chart from GH. Let’s see if it posts. https://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-REC_03216am.pdf.

You will need to do bucket changes based on you’re ppm’s. This is where the sight Tube comes into play. If she’s strapped down or woven into a scrog, the only way to drain safely will be through the tubes, and refill through the top hydroten. That brings me to you’re other question and as...

Checking you’re nutes ppm and ph question.....I find it easy, once the plant is to big and tied down, to use the site tube to empty some solution into a container and take the measurements from that. There’s a point where you won’t see the roots till you cut it down. If you’re worried about...

Someone earlier who uses MC said it had enough so......they know better than I do. Again I use GH flora series. I love the feed charts they have tailored to the system it’s used in. I always use half of what they recommend then let the plant tell me if it needs adjusting.

I use the same as 1ne eye mentions, a half inch bottle brush pushed down the site tube and allow a cup to drain out the tube pushing any gunk out with it.

Hope Friday goes well for you then.

You may feel nickel and dimes as you start this venture.....once you have the basics you won’t feel like that.

Forgot to answer your CalMag question. Get some....liquid or powder, I prefer liquid since my grow is only two sites. As well, you know, from previous grows that these plants are CalMag hogs. I use it every nute change. Additionally, for me it’s the first deficiency that shows up if one does so...
