I have a new favorite word: "effervescence" -a beautiful word that means everything to DWC. When I was constructing my DWC buckets I watched a video by a fellow that said that your net pots should sit a couple of inches down into your "nutrient rich solution" -sooooo not true! I have since...

I have some seedlings in 5" net pots growing in hydropots. The roots are already coming out everywhereafter less than three weeks -but this is my first hydro grow and I don't know if or when I'll need to transplant. I know it's normal for roots to show, but how big a net pot will I need for...

I have three 2 week old seedlings that have started to curl up the edges of their leaves and have a waxy look to them (in hydro R/O water with less thean 1/4 strength nutes). they are getting plenty of water and are 24" or so under 400watt MH light. My other six seem fine -I know that pics will...

I recently put some two week old seedlings in hdryo bubble buckets. I put 1/4 strength Fox Farms hydro nutes (Grow Big) in my hydro pots. The plants were looking a little droopy after a couple days so I figured that I must have given too much nutriant too early. -So I took one gallon out of each...

Hi, I'm looking for a decent PH tester for Hydroponic but I don't really want to drop $130 if I can get this one for $20: Milwaukee PH 600 Digital pH Meter/Tester, 0-14, New Sooo -does anyone know if this thing works? Because if it does it's only about $23 delivered on Ebay -but I don't want...

I'm growing seedlings that I transplanted into Hydroton in net baskets inside my hydro set up. I know that a certain amount of light can make its way down through the Hydroton and inside my bubbler buckets. It's not much light, but I sure don't want algae! Should I cover the top of the Hydroton...

I have four, five gallon buckets with Hydroton in net baskets and two 6" air stones inside each bucket. Two questions I have that maybe someone can help me with. !: I used clear tubing, pulled through holes I drilled near the top of the buckets to operate my airs tones . I wish I'd searched out...

I have some seedlings in coir (one week since they sprouted) and they've been doing great with just a couple 2' fl grow lights from the local home center. I do cover them with a foil tent when I'm not running the fan, which is about half the time. Heat is not a problem and I'm able to put the...

I germinated some seed inside an enclosed incubator. Seven of twelve are just about a half inch sprouts after just a few days. I just set two fl frow lights on top of the lid a few hours ago. -Do I need to take the dome off and turn on a fan? The room is pretty cool (around 67 degrees) but I...

I am in the process of buying a combo MH and HPS (400 or 600w) to grow a few plants in a hydro system. I've seen many systems with a 'Cool Tube' style reflector, but I don't think they include the exhaust fan for the tube (or at least no mention of it) -So my question is are cool tubes worth the...

I am a newbie to indoor growing and I'm wondering if I can grow two or three plants well under a couple of Sun Systems Glowpanel 45 LED lights (honestly ...I have a weird gut feeling about it, but I love the environmental and energy savings of the concept -I just hate sad plants and wimpy little...
