CatT_Tstarted grow question 2 years ago
I'm new to the game and have a simple question. I have recently set up an auto water system with a 5 gal bucket. I use Fox Farms when I mix it do I add a full 5 gal amount of fertalizer to it when I do it or a reduced amount. I'm growing three plants that are now in flower.

It sounds to me like you're growing in DWC... and if that is the case (a diary would be MOST helpful here!), you will be WAY overfeeding your plant ... I grow DWC myself and into my 5 gallon bucket only put nutes for 1 gallon... you want to watch the EC levels in your reservoir (bucket) and make sure that measurement is in the proper range... the proper range is going to depend on whether you're growing a photoperiod or autoflowers (again, having a diary to look at would be VERY helpful)... photoperiods can withstand a much higher EC than can autoflowers....
Please start a diary... then, when questions come up, we will have access to as much information as possible and will be better able to help you out!
Good luck...

Automatic irrigationI bought a dustbin with a lid as bought a water pump, tubing, 4mm connectors and 4mm plastic sprayers that are meant to be controllable by screwing a lid.
It’s not all 4mm tubing. The flow is so weak and I can’t figure out why. The pump has a big enough flow. What a let down :(

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?Week 5

Which automatic watering system while travelling for 1-2 weeks (closet tent, 2 plants)?1.) Which specific systems are proven effective and safe (commercial or DIY)?
2.) Will pH change over days if adding pH +/- to a water tank?
3.) Would you leave the plants for 1-2 weeks with the system running (LED, fans, electricity, potential danger of short circuit/fire?)Setup. Other

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHEHi everyone,
I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black.
I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation.
