Sad to say that is the one thing I just dont measure. I pour what I guess would be 100ml to my res. I heard one reason was to help limit alge and help oxygenate the water, but my air pump does a good job of that.. :D I dont know if I am getting a benefit becuase I have not ran without, and hell it is the second cheapest thing I add besides water... I got two bottles at Sam's club for less than $2. I dont see it hurting anything, and I dont want to see if it will.:thumbsup:
by the looks of things, seems i need to be adding the shit(H2O2). if your getting as much growth as you are, and we both run the same nute program, then this is the only thing i am missing. actually, i don't use the sweet, i use added MagiCal, SugarDaddy. Maybe i should make a trip to the hydro store and pick up a lil sweet, seems that everyone is using it but myself. Critique my grow if you would, "Grow Log" "The Daily Grow w/ Bud Fullotrichs". let me know if there is anything diff. i could do to maximize yield.
These are my roots after 24 days in flower. One is of the biggest and is of the smallest.

yeah, mine def. aren't that nice. i believe that's where the dwc/e&f hybrid could be effective (read my thread and you'll know what i'm talking about). i love the e&f, but here stellar things about the r-dwc, so my thoughts are, do both at once.
Here is my veg at 18 days (r-dwc/e&f). The biggest one looks good, tried topping to slow hieght down for others to catch up. My flowering ones are sure drinking a lot, a couple gallons a day. One thing I am noticing is that my ph keeps dropping and try to kick it but and by adding 7.2 tap water everyday it still falls from 5.7 to 5.4 sometimes overnight. Is that normal? It just recently started doing this, I can still pull it back up, but it sure seems like I add a lot of ph up.
All 8, a few are pissed because I ran the nutes up, but brought them back down and all seems well so far

This is the biggest one

hell yeah man, they are lookin great. lovin' the idea for the setup also. i believe i am going to keep what i have for veg. and set something like this up for my new flowering room. i will be building it here in the next couple of weeks. if you could, give me a rundown on things i need, only want to do 4 plants flowering at a time, not anything expensive here, already have another 400w lamp that i need to put to use, so the least expensive setup that i could also add to at a later date if i wanted. all help appreciated!
It pretty simple, all the buckets are connected with PVC that runs to the pump, each buck has a drain to the main res below it, it is a 40 gal e&f tank from local hydro store. With the drain pipes (1") make them as high as you want your water, since I need to flood more when they roots are not out yet I have a longer tube. Then I put the shorter one on when I have roots. The rest of the parts I use are listed in my first post for veg room.
Generally, 3-5ml per gallon if you're using the 35% H2O2. If you're using the 3% store-bought (used for cleaning wounds and what not), multiply by 10, so about 30-50ml per gallon.Quote:

Update day 29
Everything is going great execpt my biggest one in flower keeps hitting the lights and I have a few leafs that took some damage from it. The liquid light has been helping, I definetly see soem vertical growth, but they are still lagging the big boy. The flowers are developing nice and once the lights kick on I will take some more pics and post them. I do have a question though, why does my ph drop so much? I see a change from 5.7 to 5.2 in some cycles and I am not sure why. Is this a sign of an issue?
My veg station is kicking good now, most have been in the system for 24 days. The small one will be pulled, and I have one that has mites that just wont go away, so it will be pulled too. This will leave me with 6 very nice ones. They are filling in good. Keeping the nutes easy as they are at 350 now and I plan to peak them out in veg at 800 over the next 4-5 weeks.

Update Flower day 36
Everything looks good except the dam mites are still around. I have put two pest strips in to see if that will help. They are not bad, but they are annoying, I have no webs I just find the bastards on a few leafs. You can see the top of the big ones leafs are burnt from the light pretty good, that happened a while back. Trich development is looking good, I see more of the leafs already covered with them than I did on my last grow. Also the smell is much stronger(hits you good when you open the door, my filter is working good so far) and is very nice. The biggest bud sure is growing big and I expect it will be huge when I am done, I am already making plans to hold it up. My PH sure keeps dropping and they are drinking a bunch of water. I have been putting in 5 gallons a day and having to add PH up and a lot of it. I see it move from 5.5 - 5.2 in 8 hours.
