argyle11 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Now my knowledge is limited... however if you use hydro on timers, this should eliminate the need to play "god" as it were, timers are a massive help for my lights... these can be used for hydro systems as well.

Dust Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes Hydro with the timers or just soil with a dripping system and timer, it is a good solution too, if nothing happens like light cuts, or fail of the equipment. You could also think about the Autopots that use only gravity and a balance system so it is pretty self suficient but it needs some refill sometimes..Good luck in your quest for solutions!

Jollygreengiant Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I do dwc and use 25ltr buckets they will last a week on that easily just make sure you got the right ec and it's well ph'd. I sometimes found some went lower and some went higher in the week so just adjust it accordingly and they should stay within range it's always good to allow a little swing anyway helps with uptake of certain chemicals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokage Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Glad to hear everything went ok. I do Hydro myself and i think you can leave them if you really, REALLY have too. It´s when things go south all happen fast. That is the only risk as i see it.But it warms my ole grower heart to hear you doing good.Perhaps a photo on your fine girls?

Big'G' Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Ok, heres what i have done in the past with hydro & DWC (current). To be fair its easy to maintain your water values at a plants first growing stage. Make sure you have your Ph5.5, light on a timer, air on 24/7, and monitor your E.C values. I have had plants do fine with no nutrients for the first few weeks of the grow and only found PH values jumping around as the plant really matured. I have only changed my DWC water twice this grow due to just being lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
