Sorry but the manufacturers of what? The The nutirent company’s? They give crazy high recommendations, (except biobizz in soil)
There’s no way I’d follow the recommendations of advanced nutrients.
I got given a dwc bucket couple of days ago so new to hydro. Had a few grows in soil and coco. I reckon il figure it out ok.
Less is more sort of thing.

Right now I am running H&G at 100% of their chart and no tip burn in rockwool blocks! In DWC/RDWC When I ran Dyna-Gro tip burn started @ 80% backed off to 70%. When I ran GH Flora 70% started tip burn backed off to 60% If you read the charts or calculators they tell you this is just a starting point. The important thing to remember is to keep your nutrients in the balance that the charts demonstrate. In DWC you need to act fast if something is wrong you will know this by being in tune with your plant.
Ah right cool. I’m guessing a dehumidify is a must with hydro? I haven’t had to use one before. Within 2 days it went up from 45% to 75% which I think is about right for a seedling? but I got an 9 week auto night queen sitting in there nearly finished. So I taken the dwc bucket out and put the mesh pot in a small jug hopefully that will do to get it going. The seedling was started in coco so I reckon the coco ph perfect nutrients will be absolutely fine to get it going. Money is bit right right now so went for ph perfect hydro nutrients all 3 for £36 but haven’t opened them yet, instead of other nutrients then another 70 for a decent ph meter.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong place? I’m not too sure, I haven’t spent a lot of time round here!
With silver bullet does that mean I can’t use healthy microbes like biosys tea? I guess could add the microbes last day before a change over

Ah right ok cheers il check the fan. I assumed the big bucket of water would have caused a rise but I guess the lid keeps it in, it must have been something else I have a quite few plants in there, il check the exhaust fan is 100% connected all right. cheers
Yo I take it back about the advanced nutrients telling you to use too much, as it does say on the bottles for Micro, Grow and bloom to use 1ml per litre for seedling which seems about right.
I managed to do some damages to my little seedling moving pebbles about, it was really leggy so I tried bending it down under pebbles and almost killed it, instead of waiting to see if it recovers I took a cutting of a photoperiod plant ‘Grandady purple’ to see if that works. I got space for two plants after my auto is done and I have been vegging this gdp so yeah figured I should grow another photoperiod but never cloned before, If it doesn’t work I may find an outdoor spot for the gdp plant and get some auto seeds in and try one in the dwc and one next to it in coco in an autopot and see how they do.
I stuck a dome over the top to keep the humidity up. The cutting is in ecothrive coco, and the pot is sitting just above the water so the bubbles are wetting the pot.
Is this about right?
There’s a mars2 400 with just the red light on the side and a autoCOB I recently got on top. The mars was the main light I had on the NQ up until a couple of weeks ago but with the arrival of the COB I thought I’d put it on the side with just the red/bloom light on. I thought the autoNQ was nearly done but the COB seems to have kickstarted a load of new bud growth, loads more new big white hairs sticking out and buds getting fatter. It’s only In a 8.5 litre pot so wasn’t expecting it to be this big. I had intended on doing a soil grow using biobizz in autopots being newbie, then learned this wasn’t a good idea so just top watered. When it’s done il take out the mars and just use the cob until perhaps flowering.
The autonightqueen is overshadowing the cutting in the DWC but not much I can do about that. Got about 10litres of water in there bubbling with silver bullet roots, the advanced nutrients micro grow and bloom and their silicon to a ec of 0.6.
With just one bucket, how do you empty it with a big plant in there? I’d like to empty it once a week and put I. Fresh nutrients to keep it clean. My pot came with no instructions. Do you use the pipe on the side?
