Well the 4th girl finally passed on today it was a fight to try and revive her from the bad state she was in after the root rot. I have great confidence that my next venture will not only survive but thrive. I have done much reading and found that I was negligent as well with the peroxide and I...

Well I have taken most of the system down for cleaning. As it turns out there was root rot on 3 of the girls to where they would not bounce back. The good news is that one survived the ordeal and is looking healthy. Maybe I should have started with just one bucket as a project for my first. I...

thank you ledtester. Noted.. I will keep that in mind.. I am working on getting a cooler for the room. Controlling the room will keep the water in check right? Thank you all again btw the resources are abundant. It is just taking me awhile to catch up on it all and take it in.

looks like I had root rot on 3 girls. I have pics I will post later. It seems the hot day got the roots going bad and even though I flushed they never came back. I have got it down to one plant and it still looks good. It is in a new bucket with distilled PHed to 5.5 water. I put a tiny bit of...

ok with new PH down it seems to lvl off much nicer. The 3 girls however have not improved yet the 4th is still going strong. I may just pull them to investigate the roots etc...

oh damn I posted this in the wrong forum.. can it be moved please?

Check out this video of natural yet powerful soil products. My mother swears by this stuff for her veggies. She is so adamant about this that she ordered a pallet of stuff to bring around to local nurseries. I am thinking of making a tea from the Gorilla Grow and putting it into my hydro system...

yeah! I am thinking it has something to do with the spring water here. I am in the process of having it tested.

well I am out of PH down so I am headed to the Hydro store... I dont think I am sticking to organic anymore. I would not mind a PPM/EC/Temp/PH meter...

The PH seems to raise to or past 7.0 at least 4 times a day. I have had this issue from the beginning....

I could use a little help... I am using FF Hydro organic trio. Big Bloom (Organic), Grow Big (Hydro) and Tiger Bloom. Things seemed to be going relatively well. There was a hot day 2 days ago and some of the hoses kinked etc... I was not the one who had found it but apparently a few of the...

Thanks bubble. Posting and researching there now ;)

Hi my good green friends, Things don't look good at the moment. If you want to follow what I have done. Here is the the link to my journal.. Popping My Hydro Cherry

Well the temp went crazy yesterday and the recorded high was 91 in the room. I decided to do my (total) flush a day early. I shut off the pump and drained the res. I then refilled with fresh water and turned the pump on to cycle. To pull the old water from the system I syphoned off the res until...

Green is good?
