Hydroponics and tent height issues
aRecreationaliststarted grow question 5 years ago
I'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?

I know exactly what you are dealing with. I run Dutch buckets so I lose a lot of height, so I have to have taller space. With your dimensions there will be issues with your height. You really need a taller tent, or go with a different setup like coco. Some plants stretch like crazy and it can totally kill the enjoyment that you should get out of the grow. Good luck with whatever you decide!

@aRecreationalist Use LST to keep your plants low and create a more even canopy of growth.

What kind of mold/fungus is this?I asked about this before and it looked more white, so folx suggested it was either mycelium or salts.
I am growing in coco, 38-47RH, 28c. The brown makes me think it's not mycelium so just wondered if anyone knows exactly what this is and if it's bad. It smells bad hahaSetup. Other
