water

Hi all, Does it make any sense to store tap water in a 45 gallon drum(food grade plastic), keep it aerated so that it can off gas then use it for the plants? Nearest water to my grow area is out the house and around the side the house to tap. I've come to the conclusion hawling pails of water...

Hello fellow smokers, I just got an amazing job offer, and was surprised by the drug test request. I typically stop smoking once I am in the market for a job, but honestly didn't think this company did drug tests. I find myself in a bad situation. I really *need* this job. So I need to pass...

Hello all! I've got a couple of soil grows under my belt but am always learning. My question concerns watering, how much and how often? As the plant progresses, how much more water/nutes can be used. It seems that if I use more than 1.5 cups of water per plant per feed, indications of too much...

So I have heard people say not to leave your plant sitting in the run-off that collects in the tray, but I am kind of wondering if anyone has actual experience what happens with this, like what's the bad side? I have done it, and it seems like the fear is over-watering, but when I come back in a...

Questions I have are how tall should mainlined plants be before flip and ow often should I water because on here there are a hell of a lot of different methods.

Hey i was watering my gals yesterday over a few bags and drained them into a container and sealed it. Im just wondering if i watered my girls with it would it be beneficial at all and if so should i water the run-off down before watering my gals with it?

For my first ever grow I put together a simple 2 bucket RDWC system with 5 gallon buckets a 320 gal/hr submersible water pump and 2 - 4 L/hr air pumps (1 in each bucket). It has served me well and functioned great. My plan was always to build a more permanent larger system, and armed with a...

Hoping one of you clever folks might be able to help me with my plant health problems. I run a recirculating system. Plants sit in the top tub and the water runs to the reservoir on the bottom. Recently however, I have had a few pump issues. I spoke to a mate that grows using bubble pots...

Hello All, :Namaste: My plants are already 25 days old & they are growing very slowly. Feeding them canna coco 2 times a week, with ppm 450 & ph 6,0. The Runoff water PH is rather high – 7.0 when measured in a tray. Guess this ph level might be blocking absorption of certain micro elements. I...

Hello everyone, I had a quick question and I was hoping to get some help from some experienced individuals. I was told with my soil I don't need to keep adjusting my PH. (Clackimus Coots Organic Soil but with added dolomite lime) I was adjusting it down with Lemon juice to 6.5 but I...

I decided I'd like to grow in coco, and since the upcoming grow is going to be my first ever, I have so many questions, many of which are not too easy to find answers for. I hear with coco I'll be watering everyday, and providing basic nutes everyday. WIth regards to water, I originally...

Hi -- I know this is a little off-topic, but regarding Legionnaire's Disease, this is just a reminder to hydroponics growers that Legionella bacteria love to grow in warm water (above about 70F or 20C), so in the interest of good hygiene and safety, try to keep your water temps below that...

So this plant was looking a little nitrogen toxic a week ago or so, so I flushed it with some water, waited for it to dry out and transplanted from a 3 gallon pot to a 7 gallon. Both had FFOF in it. I've never used ocean forrest before and I have an issue with it. Well always hearing about...

Hi. I'm just sprouting 3x Ak-47 feminised seeds under a 45w LED panel. (It's 12 inches away) This is my very first grow. I'm pressed for time. I need to get the whole grow done in 90 days so I won't be vegging for long so I can flower them properly. I'll be mixing rockdust, kelp and fish...

Has anyone used powdered citric acid for an organic ph down, its a lot cheaper than the organic ph down in hydro shop which is basically the same thing. Basically im after some sort of ratios of acid to water to make a solution i can slowly add to my water. thank you
