New Clones Light Green New Growth...

[MynameStitch]

Sounds like fungus gnats get some sticky traps to catch the fliers and

Here are some other stuff you can use

Hot Pepper Wax,Safer Yard & Garden Insecticide (which can be used right to the day of harvest),GNATROL( used in hydro in the water as well as soil),Doc's Neem Pest Soap,Safer Sticky Stakes,TR-11000 Pyrethrum.

Good! a healthy root system = happy plants

Cool, thanks for all the help Stitch. I'll update how they're doing in my grow diary thread.

Good to know

Yes, please keep me updated!

Phattybudz,

you're using the Waterfarms which are basically like three dimensional NFT rather than DWC. In DWC, your roots are always under water and you're trying to oxygenate that water. Ends in root rot a lot of times until you provide a ton of air and enzymes, but not always. The Waterfarms are the only bucket system to use an air pump to push the nutrient solution up and out, thereby aerating that solution as it comes out. The roots, sitting in the upper bucket are above the water line. The roots that grow below that water line and into the bottom bucket are then technically in DWC but you still have about 80% of the root mass above the water line and in air-- good thing.

The Waterfarms ALWAYS clog in the place by the way, at the bottom of the pumping column inside the small clear tube in the little Y down there. It clogs with salts and you have to clear it out to make it pump water again.

In your first post on this thread or there abouts, you mentioned that you were using GH Micro and Bloom but that you were in the Veg cycle. Unless I missed some posts in between, you would be having an automatic Nitrogen problem without any GH Grow in your mix.

Pardon me if I missed something. Just trying to help.

Phattybudz,
where are you drip rings? Those Waterfarms need drip rings attached on the top to get the water out and distributed in a circle around the plant. It is really important as the Hydroton has no wicking capabilities. The nutrient solution must be distributed all around the plant so it can trickle down and get all over the rocks down below. This is a trickle system and it must be on 24/7 to keep the rocks just wet enough-- unlike all other bucket systems. I don't even see a pumping column, just an air hose going down the pumping column PVC holder tube. You need some parts dude.

hydrohut is now out of business...that should tell you something. i had a hydrohut for about 7-8 months and had 3 unsucessfull crops that yielded at about 20 percent efficiency. one of my friends had the same model as me and his clones were dead within 1 week of putting them in there. granted, he didn't have sufficient exhaust but I still have never seen anything like that. I got yields on all 3 failed crops but like I said, about 20 percent of what it should have been. i think the reason was that i have 2 6 inch vortex running filtered intake and exhaust so the air was never standing. my advice just ditch the hydrohut and either build your own room or switch brands. im running 2 "darkrooms" model DR150, i switched them over on my 4th crop 2 weeks into veg, and within 3 days they were looking better than ever. i got more growth after switching to the new hut in 5 days than the previous 2 weeks!. Spend the extra $350 and save yourself the trouble.

Hydrohut is not going out of business. Totally false information.
