Hey guys, ive just purchased an IWS F&D 12 Pot system with the 25mm pipes and 1 minute timer and external controller.
Ive ran a RDWC system with spray bars and airstones for the last 12 months sterile.
Im wondering how people run these F&D systems nutrient wise. Do people go with...
Hi guys. This will be my first post on my diy Aeroponic system.
Please I am looking for a lot of help on nutrients and microbiology in the Aero system.

Can microbes be added to res.

Hellow everyone!
I've got some questions regarding topping off reservoir with water, but not with plain PH'd water, but I want to increase PPM level to some point. This is my second dwc grow, but first was just to test if I can pull it off so I was totally clueless what I was doing, yet it was...

1 five gallon bucket is res that is cooled by sitting inside a refrigerator and working very well.
My issue if it is one, is that in my 5th week of flower I have 1200ppm starting at res change which I do every 9 to 10 days. By mid res schedule my...

Noticed last night little gnat like bugs flying out of my res during change. They are 52 days old (13 days into bloom nutes). pH and ppm have been steady throughout grow with res temps ranging in low 70s. Every res change at 7-10 days it gets hydroguard and Z7 with additional boost of Z7 every...
Hi, today I have open my res and found this nasty black worms...
I don't see any symptoms on the plant. However, in the last two weeks or so, I am trying to figure why the plants doesn't eat the nuts I'm giving her and the ppm keep raising everyday. The room temperatures are 28.6 top.

So I'm adding a chiller to a two 5 gallon bucket system. I'm going to add a chiller. I'm thinking I can get a third 5gallon bucket as the resivoir, and two submergeable water pumps. One to circulate water between the res and the chiller, second to circulate water between res and other two 5 gal...
We buy and use a lot of test meters and chemical test strips and do a lot of testing, I.E. pH, Electrical Conductivity, Nitrate-N, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron and Chloride to name a few popular test.
All these expensive...
i have a bottle of floranova grow. this is a one part nutrient with a shelf life of 1 year. in it is n,p,k,ca,mg,s,fe and more.
if i were to add cal mag to RO water, then this nova grow and leave it in my res (just a res, no plants) and leave it for a month or so i should have no problems...
Okay first of all thanks to everyone for looking. My setup is a 3.5 x 4 room with a 3x3 flood table with 20 gal res. Flooding four greenhouse seed feminized white widow 4 times a day for 15 minutes at a time.

I'm off work for a while, so ive got some time.
also have some things just sitting in the basement, so I figured id take a run at RDWC.

I've been battling all kinds of issues from stretchy plant, to high heat, to res problems. I got the res temps down, added some aquashielf, kept res temps down,`got room temp down to 80 degrees, got lights in with the buds, got ph to 5.9 and dropped ppm down to 1200 since 1700 was way too high...

Girls-were looking lovely. at 950ppm & ph 6.5 Not sure
if-from heat, or changing res. back to 750 ppm & 6.0
What can I do to fix, and correct?
So it all started about a week ago, I got these little red rust spots on my leaves. It's held steady so far with some very mild yellowing leaves but I decided to change res so that I could refresh its nutrients. All of a sudden an hour later its excacerbated greatly and now is worstening by the...
The core of my issue is that my 55 gallon reservoir of Mills nutrients + a few other things climbs 1.0-1.4 pH every night since I mixed a new batch 4 days ago. Details below.
I recently got myself a reservoir going so that I could quit hand mixing single gallons. My plants are mostly in soil...
Once I make a new res for each bucket they will drink 1/3 of the nutes and a gal of water in 24 hours. Should I keep adding nutes to keep the res at the desired PPM or should I just just add PH water once it gets low and only feed on res change?
