For all of those who use power on the grid, has anyone noticed a significant rise in costs?

Hi all Started to notice my bubble count dropping off on my dwc and some very light slime forming so I've decided its time for a new air pump and my question is how much air is too much? Current pump is double outlet both @ 2.5l/min. Looking at getting one of the electoemagnetic air pumps @ 20l/min. Would this be too much air for 2 10lt dwc res tanks if I split it between the 2?

The Claw! Anyone who has played around with hydro will probably run into this problem, but what the hell is it? and why do you see it linked with so many different problems to grows with seemingly no problems? If you think about a common cause for a case of the Claw eg high temps, what happens? Temperature at the root zone rises to a level that causes conductivity and ph to soar at the root zone to dangerous and sometimes fatal levels. That is it in a nut shell. The ways that problem can be produced is many and varied, as are the end results. Root bound? sure, fresh nute solution can't wash away root exudes OR provide fresh oxygen around the root zone, conductivit…

I think this is probably a long shot, but im wondering if anyone has tried growing weed aquaponically? Aquaponics is sort of like hydroponics combined with aquaculture, where you grow fish and plants together and the fish produce fertiliser for the plants, and the plants eat up the fertiliser so the water is nice an clean for the fishies I think its really really interesting! I grew some pretty good strawberries and basil and lettuce and stuff this way before i moved recently, and im really keen to find out if weed can be grown this way.

Hi Guys, I will make this my grow thread because I will surely need alot of help. I'll try to keep it all in this thread with updates and questions. I'm planning my first grow with autoflowers so I can get in a harvest and start a 2nd proper grow after I have a stash to medicate with. I'm gathering up all materials, just ordered seeds last night 2x Blueberry Dutch Passion Fem Auto and 3x Auto Jack 47 Fem Auto. If I can get 1 small harvest from a couple Autos then it'll hold me over until I start a proper grow. I already received the 4 unit Autopot system with the 37L reservoir and 7 gallon buckets. This will be my watering system. I'm sure I'll need help from seed…

Every time I fire up my grow light everything metallic in my room becomes live and gives me a heavy jolt which sucks a bit. I've tried unplugging the ballast and no electrocution, I've tried just running the timer and that's not it so it must be the frigging ballast (400/600 watt solistek dimmable) When I touch a metal object I get jolted every 30 seconds or so, It's not continuous so it seems like a capacitor charging and discharging which almost certainly means it's the ballast.(this only happens when the ballast and light are on). Has anyone here encountered this problem before and does anyone have any ideas on what it may be. I'm baffled and I don't have a multimeter …

hi guys and girls just wondering who is using these 80w that have a shit load of output. im currently using 130w in the cupboard and not really impressed with the growth rate. basically asking if the people that previously used 130w notice a difference in growth rate compared to a 80w?

Hey guys, doing my first grow ever (newbie) in a tent 1.2x1.2x2.0 with 3 autos, only have 2 sprouted so far had trouble with the 3rd so I germed another seed and planted it today and we will see how it goes. One white widow, one purple and one Pandora, all autos. Now the question is how much should I water them, I put them straight into big pots after germ they are 20L I know big but its what I had to work with. Hand watering run to waste system, substrate is coco 60% worm castings 30% perlite 10%. As its a big pot, by the time the top is dry the bottom will still be wet and as they are only sprouts their roots wont go down that far yet, should I just water enough for the…
