How to Clean DWC Reservoir | My First Grow 7
In the 7th update video of my first grow, I show how I cleaned out my reservoir and prepared the flowering nutrients.

Great white always leave residue in res…switch to Orca…same thing just in liq form. I use Hydroguard
Turn that tractor off
Are you using the recomended doses for your nutes or are you putting less? like 80%. I’m using a 38 gallon tote and am debating on whether to use 60-80% of the recommended dose.
Also, how many gallons is that?
Good thing you had a piece of string when you broke the teabag
how big of a container is needed to 9 plants in 9 netcups? The bigger the container the more water and nutrients you have to use for the water to reach the net cups right? Could a 10 gallon container work instead of 27 gallon?
instead of the waterlevel sensor you could attach an ultrasonic sensor to the outside of the reservoir. but thats also a cool idea
This remind me of my first indoor
I’m lovin’ the rootsman nice white
keep it up
You have the same luck as I do man , 😂 your doing good always having a solution 👍
Can you just leave those air pumps on 24/7? How long do they last?
I remember I commented before on this. You must have deleted it
Why did you remove the water and replace with fresh to lower the pH rather than add pH down? Also how did you measure how much water was in there so easily? Seemed like you just ran the pump in for a few min.
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏✔😃😃
Very nice bro.!
How old were your plants before transplanting please?
How often do you switch the water out?
I usually grow keeping things stupid simple but I’m really enjoying your high-tech way especially for your first go! Girls look marvelous…
I’m on my first go around and I’m doing RDWC and it’s so much fun to mess with the PH and PPM. It’s amazing how the smallest changes can make such a tremendous impact. Thanks for sharing your experience! Cheers 🍻
Are you going to leave the 4 plants in that tote until they bud?
Im a soil guy myself but this vid makes me wanna try it. Awesome man. ✌🇨🇦
Get a Blutec truncheon for measuring ec ! Much better.!
Great video!
For future reference have two of everything when it comes to hydroponic set up so you can set up a second one well in advance and just move over the plants in moments
you should always stir vigorously after adding your A before adding your B, because if you don’t your going to lockout some of your nutrients ,since your A is a lot thicker PPM than your B. I use the 3 part flora series & I always added all 3 of my nutrients and then stirred. I finally started reading that Micro goes first & stir it a lot, then the gro & stir that a lot & lastly bloom & stir that too. Your nutrients won’t properly desolve if you don’t add & stir in the correct order, because of the types of minerals & salt content of each nutrient. I saw a HUGE DIFFERENCE, when I learned this & it completely makes scientific sense! Even more important than that, once I started adding my Armor Si (which makes your branches develop Arnold Schwarzenegger muscles, as well as gives your stems a thick woody coating), I learned that you always add this first, before any of your salt nutrients. after that I add my GH Organic Bio Roots. And I was adding my Great White Mycorrhizae after my Bio Root. Come to find out, You should always add your bacteria first, after adding your dechlorinate unless your running RO water & then my preference would be to go ahead and add the Cal-Mag, then your bacteria, Silica, organic Bio Root, Micro (your A), gro (which you don’t have separately), bloom (your B, which contains your version of Gro & Bloom together.) After all that……Add your PH Down. Obviously when you switch to 12/12 photoperiod for you Bloom phase…….then you can play around with your Bloom Additives for flavor or whatever else floats your boat. Personally I like the Bud Candy Flower plant Booster for the 1st 3 weeks of the flower stage. What Cha think about all that?
Where did you geht the chiller from?
All most around the same time as me 👍🏾keep up the work
Beautiful plants man! Healthy livin
