Last 48h in the dark with an aquafarm ?
dataTwiiixstarted grow question 4y ago
Hello growdiaries.com/ community!
I'm using an aquafarm and I plan to put my plant in the dark for 36/48 hours soon. Should I keep the percolation system running during this stage?
Thanks for your answers and happy gardening ;)

No need to do extended darkness, it is BS/Bro Science and does not work in 100% of cases and with 100% of plants.
It happened with one plant out of a sample of 3 and thanks to the internet it became some sort of juju science.
The increase in THC was in the order of 0.0000000001%!
Putting my scientific hat on, extended darkness just causes a plants metabolism to cease being active and a plant with an inactive metabolism can not support or prevent trichomes from breaking down into worthless crap.
Don't do it would be my advice!
If you are determined to do this dubious stress treatment on your plant, right before harvest and after weeks/months of careful cultivation, yes, leave your system on.

Nutrient LinesI'm thinking about switching nutrient lines to Mega Crop by Greenleaf Nutrients. I'm wanting to use Mega Crop as a true all in 1 nutrient. Anyone who has used these nutrients please let me know your experience with the product and company. Even better if used as standalone nutes.

Hydro Drip System - Any tips?Hi, is anyone familiar with hydroponic drip systems? I did my first two cycles in DWC and wanted to try something different. I was intrigued and purchased the "Platinium HydroPro 60" (similar to Atami's Wilma) and would fill it with expanded clay.

Well water PPM/EC looks REALLY high. What to do?I just did a quick test of our well water with a new cheap little meter and found that with our softening system on I hit 267PPM and an EC of 568(!). When I bypass the softening system I end up with 209ppm and and EC of ~450. Am I killin' my own plants?Setup. Other
