I've been told that with RDWC you need to go with half strength on the nutrients. Does this sound right to you?


half strength is safe... but its alot about bumping it up slow... no need to veg any more then 400ppm

yeah they do have awesome structure,i pulled the 4 out of the system one at a time and discovered that the longer roots were dead,im thinking it was from the hydrogen peroxide treatment because they werent smelly nor very dark just soft and took little effort to pull em off.

also there was new roots growing with in the net pots so i replaced them into the system after rinsing them all off with fresh water.

with in 2 days they are perky again,i swear BG had it right when saying these things are bullet proof. I cant wait to see some rdwc LVPK bushes!!!

Pretty hard to kill em
Just run that water level about an inch up the bottom of the net pot and pour nutes in from the top until they come out the bottom
Ditch the zone if ya havent already. I been using it for over a year and I been having more problems with roots than good. I recommend aqaushield with roots excelurator dude your roots will go fucking mad quick. Im pretty sure after you add the roots excel you'll see roots out the bottom the next day. Make sure to give em a bath in plain h2o for a day before you transition and dont use more than 5ml per gallon on the aquashield
Good luck bro

Yeah I haven't ditched it yet I guess I'll drain and refill once again and trash the dutchmaster all together.

Just AN and botanicare from here on out.

I can't afford roots excelorator at the moment so I'll have to hold off on that for now.

Also I think I'm gonna just sorta tree em. Out to just get this crop done and over with so I can get a UC in my garden and ditch the rdwc or pass it on

Yeah nute wise I'm gonna be more basic with it this run.

So far so good tho,the 4 lvpk already have roots in the water and are lookin greener too.

Its crazy seeing all these kushes I have next to eachother,got lvpk,bubba kush,bbk,chemdog kush,that kush haze I grew last time.

The lvpk and bubba look very simular leaf wise,but the bubba has some crazy beefy structure.

The bbk is kinda morw spread out nodes wise,I'm very excited to have her back.


Would like to get 3 4XL UC units with bbk,lvpk and bubba growin next run.

Well if money is an issue I'd spend it on the root excel before the UC's and when you get the UCs make sure that you get AP100 or biggger air pumps. Every AP60 I got was dead within months, but the AP100 is still operational 1.5 years later.

:joint:

Thanks for the tip HS,the UC would come after this run,I might be able to get the Roots Excel come taxes

So the AP100 would be the air pump?

I have a eco 1 18watt and its loud as fuck,is the 7 pretty loud too?

That's the only reason I favor the GH cuz its whisper quiet 24/7.

Ive notice with the commercial air pumps that adding tube to the intake valve and putting the tube end outside, that it pulls in nice cold air and it take alot of the sound away also. I have 2 commercial 3s. Also hanging them make them a little quieter.

Im running a eco 7 on my 6xl and it works great. Alls I do is set it on a folded up towel and its less than 1/2 as loud. My veg 8xl Im running 2 eco 5s and its the same thing works great.
The roots excel is the bomb by far the best addition to the water I have ever used. You will see results overnight. Get the little bottle its only like $80 and it 1ml per gallon so it goes a long way.
Good luck

Yeah BG roots Excel is on my list of "need to gets",and its $60 around here.

Maybe when I finally get my UC set up I'll grab a Comercial 5 or something.
