This is pretty much just a rant, and I wasn't sure where to put it, so if it's in the wrong forum area sorry.
I'm really frustrated... *takes hit from hash pipe*
Like 6 months ago I bought a hydrohut and waterfarm buckets from a friend, and dropped about $1,500 total on a DWC setup (I've got a diary if you want to check it out/help Now, I'm sure that's not a lot of money to some people, but for me I had to borrow about $500 from a friend and was late paying him back. So I dropped all this cash and nothing is going right; I feel like I'm a smart guy but i'm failing at this so far...
1st Try: Hydrohut killed my plants. Great. (I could have saved them had I pulled them out of there in time...)
2nd Try: About a month and a half into veg, I'm not sure if it's bugs, me, or both that are killing my plants. Low oxygen (subsequently bought a chiller,) Fungus gnats, thrips (which I didn't even realize until 30 min. ago,) droopy leaves, light green new growth...stunted growth, tacoing leaves....
I'm about to go to the hydro store and probably get nematodes and something else... I'd like to bomb it but it's in my room so that's a no-go.
Anyways I feel like even if I get this pest problem under control now, this crop will pretty much be a failure for some other reason..
I'm trying to stay optimistic about this but... it's not working haha...
*Edit* If anyone has questions or advice for me on my system let me know, here is what it looks like...
DWC with modded waterfarm buckets, 210W floros for early/mid veg and 600whps for late veg/flower, 1/10 hp chiller, a 220gph and 185gph water pump for circulation, eco-8 and 6-inch airstones for each bucket, water level 1'' below netpot...vortex 6 pulling air and soon a carbon filter...
