How to set dwc with top feeding
Solidmetalstarted grow question 4 years ago
Should I use silica , hydrogaurd, and great white together in my nutrients solution when doing the initial set up ? Or in other words the first week of seedling being placed in the hydroton ? Im planning on using general hydroponics flora trio starting the second week.

I would avoid silica for the first couple weeks. Your seedling will not appreciate more than 200 ppm or RH under 60%. Don't plant it too deep.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppmFeeding. Chemical composition

Nutirents for hard waterQuestion regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?Feeding. Chemical composition

I’m out of BioHeavenI’m out of Bio-Heaven and I wonder whether it’s worth getting some more, given that I’ll probably flush the plants within a few weeks and only use water then. Plus it’s quite expensive compared to BioGrow, BioBloom or TopMax… Any ideas or maybe an organic substitute? Thanks!Week 10
