How to HYDRO EASY – COMPLETE GROW GUIDE Cannabis & Weed Hydroponic DWC
#howtogrowweed #hydroponics #hydro
If you watched my hydro was a mistake video, you know I been through hell and back trying to learn this medium. Part of the reason why I found it so difficult, was because there was simply no tutorial I could find that taught it easily. After a whole year and 6 complete grows from seed to harvest, I present to you, my masterclass on how to hydro. This is a complete guide that features a fully interactive chart complete with links that teach you how to measure and dial in all feeds, environment every week.
Now before I begin, you need to understand that being good at growing in soil will not automatically make you good at growing in hydro. Hydro is more like being a bartender than a gardener. You’ll be mixing juices and responding to your ph and ppm readings to tell you what to do. Your ph and tds meter will be your best friend and you need to know how to store and calibrate them properly. Another important factor is cleanliness, youll have to clean out your reservoir at least 3 times throughout a full cycle and this doesn’t mean simply swapping out the water. Youre gonna scrub a lot. If you live in a place that is over 80 degrees, youll need to figure out a way to chill your water. Now, this tutorial requires no prior knowledge and it’s intended for beginners, but I assure you, if you follow the instructions, you will get some of the best quality buds you can possibly grow.

How to view cheat sheet? I have registered but it still says not logged in or no permission
What a great video! Thank you. Im about half way through so if you address this later in the video, I’m sorry for asking;
Where do you stand on using enzymes for a closed loop or dwc hydroponic setup? I have tried it yet but I’ve heard that enzymes can have adverse effects in a dwc setup but idk. Thank you! 😮
What’s good man? Couldn’t figure out how to contact you on the site. Watched the buyers guide video and I’m curious… you said for 2 plants you need 270W but the 2×4 recommendation of Spider Farmer only provides a 200W light. Did I miss something? I’m confused.
man this is way too much micro management i won’t touch hydro unless i can automate the water management 100%. just came here looking for tips about cloning in a hydro cloner, someone discouraged me from using mesh cups as it entangles the roots? I want to transplant in soil for growing.
Starting my new Hydroponics system next week using your system and your cheat sheets…this is my first time so I’m definitely nervous. Any tips let me know!!
I’m using this formula now and I’m showing signs of calcium deficiency. Is it ok to add some calmag to the veg formula? I’m using RO water. If so how much? Love your videos btw best hydro breakdown I’ve found period
Cheat sheet on website cant download. Its asking for a wordpress login……
Couple days after I added juice (starting phase) the pH went up 1 point. Do I need to bring it down/up every time I notice it is off?
did not sound or look EASY to me 😂😂 but great video for advanced growing!
Great video, I honestly feel like I can go do it on my own and succeed.
hydro does really well on 24/24 schedule, but gotta keep a very tight schedule and checks
I’ve seen the net cups placed in styrofoam that can float in the bucket so it rides with the water level. Not so much worry about the water level. What’s your thoughts on that? Piece of fairly think styrofoam cut to fit inside the bucket and a hole or holes cut in the styrofoam for the net cups. Thanks for all the info! I’m thinkin about a Redbull electric cooler for the water to chill in. Possible grow in it or use it for the water source.
Could not find a way to share it!
I’ll stick with organic.
Hello, can I ask you something? Tell me what kind of fertilizer do you use in hydraulic or hydroponic farming from the first day of planting to the last days of flowering? Please tell me the names of the necessary elements. Thank you. I don’t have a problem with pH etc., my only problem is fertilizers, which are important elements of phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and micronutrients, what do you use? What do you use instead of soil? please guide me. I want to grow a hydraulic marijuana plant for myself. May Allah bless you
I respect hydro. I love outdoor.
😁😁😁
I grew drip Hydro over the first bucket filled with washed lava rock. Used General Hydroponics products. Followed directions. Strain Hunted the world for best cultivars. Grew inder HPS/ metal Halaide. Fans abd proper air exchange. 10 years everyone said best weed in the bay area. I acheieved the oldschool days of the best stuff without overthinking it all. Remember Not to over think it. ( I used risers to put smaller strains at canopy.) I think my main point of all this is that someone who’s never done it before, thus sounds like to many steps. Simplicity is the jey to growing. Thats why I love living soil no dead nutients.
Lah Tah Dah Dah let’s smoke some fucking weed 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea I like my old school easy as hell soil!
I see the chart has change since you made the video should I follow the upgraded chart? It went from 50 ppm fist week to 120 on the updated chart
I’m using this formula now and I’m showing signs of calcium deficiency. Is it on to add some calmag to the veg formula? I’m using RO water. If so how much? Love your videos btw best hydro breakdown I’ve found period
Only was to grow it is a science
I don’t like using those tabs you dip or the electric ones, I just never got the hang of it. The easiest way for me is to mix some water with a PH chemical I get. 1 drop per vial of water and shake.
Muito bom!!!
nothing said about how much air u need per liter nor about ph fluctuation, nonetheless good video
Hey! Did you ditch your rdwc system? I have been growing in dwc for some years now and thought about building a rdwc system for the next run. However your why not to use hydro video did scare me of a bit haha i would like to not have to check ec and ph of 4 buckets every evening so i thought that might be a solution
Hydro is over powered.
I tried my first grow DWC using this video as my guide…. It’s definitely not working out for me 😢
In your cheat sheet, it says (top feed) for the first 3 weeks with 250-300 ppm. What do you mean by that? To pour from the top until the roots touch the water?
Awsome stuff, thanks for sharing! IMO,right up there with Dr.Bugbee,only you have a much better accent
0:50 1:11 why does that sound appealing to me xD.
Thank you, Professor!!!!! I love you!!! mmmuuuaaahhhhhh…… 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Where can I find the cheat sheet?
This was the best video I’ve watched yet ✌🏻
P.s. General Hydro produces bud that has a particular flavor. Grow one clone with GH. Then next to it same cultivar in Living soil. The Hydro will blast by the soil. However, the soil will be smoother to the back of the throat. I have thousands of hours running those tests. Thanks for helping the grow community.
Well, you have thoroughly discouraged me from attempting this. That setup looks like a full time job.
Im gonna use this information for a project of mine where I breed store bought hemp seeds super low thc and small buds to be strong buds and big buds through a year and I decided on hydroponic because I’ve learned that it’s the best for yield and bud size and potency from previous grows and I used an air stone, 1 gallon ice cream tub and the lid, cut a hole in it and put a small net in it for my rock wool cube that I can replace the net and it works great I js use a vegetable liquid plant food as I figure it’s safe for bud and It is I js use it bc im lazy and i js add a tablespoon of cinnamon to avoid mold and algae
Why is mine foaming so bad
So if I’m understanding this correctly your saying hydroponics is extremely difficult and literally one false move and it’s over? 🤔
meh whats the point of all this ph measuring and ppm measuring, just eyeball everything 👍
I would never smoke something like your chemist’s laboratory…
Why not use a cheap wet dry vac to get the water out?
Can you sprinkle mykorrhiza on the stonewoll block?
For civilised countries with the metric system: 90°Fahrenheit = 32,22°C
What Kind of Juice (fertilizer) do you use?
I tried to download the cheat sheet but it brings me to a WordPress login screen.
very nice guide. Can you please explain in detail how you calculated the ratios cause I cant get the exact same products in europe and I want to find a matching alternative. Espacially the values "per Gallon" in the excell sheet you are showing I dont understand. Can you please tell me where these values coming from?
When making the juice why do you have 0 ml for climatic and tps signal? Then there’s a measurement for those 2 10seconds later
For more range ,pls add Europe measures
