hydro is better in my experience, but that's not to say someone else think soil is better, I have friends that will disagree with me no matter what the results of comparison is, then I have friends that totally agree with me, personal preferences I guess. you can go bubble buckets and will be...

bubble cloner is fricking awesome :) 100% success rates from first try and never looked back :) using water only at start, no need for anything else, water temp keep at 80f till root shows, once rooted drop water temp to 68f and start nutes at 1/4 strength I leave them in cloner till roots...

has anyone notice that defoliation may has an effect of dehydration on the girls, in turns they drinking more but also take up nutes at the same time, but I am thinking something related to dehydration because not only that they drink more faster and nutes uptake increased, they also produce...

check out this grow recovered from root rot now 3 weeks in flower they seem only a little smaller than ones that were perfectly healthy all the way through using h2o2 you will need to top up with it everyday till you're done or at least till flush(personally I no longer flush, for some...

just a little note, res size and numbers of plants also depends on veg time, for example, I can have 1 plant in my little 15 liter bucket and yield 300+ g but with longer veg time, unless if its a monster crop :) then veg time reduce by like half, I can also fit 5 to 6 clones in to the same...

I used hard water nutes before but I switched to rain water and use non hard water nutes and there is a very noticeable differences, with the hard water I can never find a sweet spot for them, since the switch it's a lot easier

Yep, that's right, I use it purely for pest control and preventative, when my res temp are below 68f I don't use any.

It is normal for dwc to uptake faster and at higher dose, since nutes are ready for them as soon as it hits the roots, no waiting on chemical reactions and break down, if environment are set right you can be surprised how much faster and bigger they can be at the same age. Every grow and every...

In hydro Ph raises = not feeding enough Ph lower = feeding too much You got to raise your ppm, I'm topping up everyday with full strength nutes and I'm still not feeling them enough, every crop is different you just need to find a sweet spot for continuous uptake, meaning minimum ph changes...

You may never completely get rid of them till your grow is done and wash everything out, when the time I had the same problem, I use 17.5% 4.5ml peroxide per 15 liter water in the res each day along with the springtails, if you have 35% simply half that dose, that was keeping the little flies...

thinking about trying the same when my girls are 3 weeks in flower, anyone any input on this? I already have them stripped from secondary branches, so all branches you see are from the main stock only, and I removed minimal amount of leaves already at upper area, but all other leaves remains...

Hope you find them helpful, I'm just happy to stick to a clear res, no need for any assistance :-) my remedy of keeping my res clean is actually using peroxide but not everyday and at slightly lower than max ratio.

Everything are very well dialed in this run, last run was very well dialed in too but I messed them up twice with too much molasses delayed them 2 weeks and a reduced quality but still very very frosty, this run Ive learn my ratio :-)

My current run is almost double the size of the last one at the same age with around the same amount of veg, the only thing I did different was taken the clones 4 weeks into flower, I have 5 branches coming out the one joint at the Base of the main stock on both of them... And very rapid...

Also what nutrients are used had a difference in my experience, I used ionic before and ppm goes as high as 2100 in full bloom, now I am using advance nutrients and ppm of 1600 has yet to be seen, but may happens on this round. They are super hungry plants
