Temps are a little high in the buckets Growmie, what’s the distance between the net cup and top of the nutrient solution… 1.5-2” is the norm. What’s the RH and temps in the grow space. I’m not seeing a nutrient deficiency needing more calmag or floragrow
hey Jim I just rolled in from Camping and saw this post …I have not looked at your journal yet…as OG mentioned 77F is pretty hot for hydro and may cause some root issues…as Midwest and OG also mentioned I don’t see any real issue just normal growth…if there is a specific thing you see then please point it out…
my reservoirs stay around 72-73F…I don’t have a chiller or external reservoir and so I rely on the room temp to keep my totes cool…right now my grow room temp is 74 and humidity is 60%,this is the last week of stretch for my girls then they bulk up ahahahahahaha
Nice score Grow Bro, I haven’t made that purchase. My aero set up is usually saved for the winter months and my res sits on the cold concrete floor. Temps usually hover around 70-74
Mine where around 70° in my buckets. The tote has a 300w light right over. It’s covered in foil, but it is pretty much keeping room temp. I’d be happier around 69°F for the RDWC.
I thought that was a good score too. They are sending a new pump with it. Pics look clean.
Good call; this is a necessary addition IMO. How much air to the buckets? You should be at a ‘rolling boil’. This add O to the root zone which is necessary to not drown them.
I don’t see any ‘guarding’ of leaves indicative of root issues but definitely will benefit from the chiller.
Thank you @Myfriendis410. I have a great deal of air moving in the RDWC. I have 6 stones and 4 waterfalls in the tote and another two stones in the res. I will look at those recommendations though.
I do have a commercial air pump with 8 outlets. I just need to install it. Haven’t had time since it arrived.
I completely agree on never too much air in the system.
My biggest concern at this point is the res temp. I did get a chiller, but I need to replace a gasket on it as it has a very slight leak on the intake.
