Roots really took me by surprise, was not expecting that. Yet apparently are very healthy and rather have too much root than not enough. Giving the girls no more grow nutrients and still been having to add water daily. Due to the overgrown roots causing drain flow issues, I separated the girls into 2 systems. 2 buckets per reservoir and slowed the feed to accommodate the slower drainage flow. As far as I know they seem to be doing good...growing and flowering. 😀 Definitely need to look into larger buckets, 7 gallon buckets are expensive and not much more room, yet might be the way to go. 1" drains need to happen.

Grow Questions

Captainonthegostarted grow question 4 years ago
My EC is higher then recommended or I'm reading it wrong. I have been told to add water to my reservoir to lower EC, yet with my well water the EC is already high. Can someone help enlighten me? Using a hydroponic circulating system (DWC with a top feed).

The girls are beautiful and very healthy, congratulations on the work. I'm curious about this gravity feeding system of yours, let's exchange information about it. 😎

@eriinho, I'm using a standard Bubbleponics bucket raised off the ground just above reservoir height. I cut the sight tube on the side to slightly more than 1 inch below the basket. Put a tee in at the level to create my gravity drain to feed the reservoir. Then I used a $11 pump from Harbor Freight to pump my feed lines. The solution height in the bucket is a little adjustable by sliding the tee up or down on the sight tube. Flow can be adjusted to do 1 to 4 buckets at least.

REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE SIZE...YOU COULD JUST KEEP THEM IN THOSE BUCKETS (OR A LITTLE BIGGER ONES) AND KEEP THE FLOW IN CHECK WITH A RDWC SET UP. BUT THAT WOULD BE A PROJECT FOR YOUR NEXT GROW BC DOING THAT DURING A GROW IS POSSIBLE BUT LABORIOUS. GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING ❤️🙌
