Thats what im talking about

Well my laziness lost her now.

Hey what is the water in the res supposed to smell like?

Mine is only since Sunday but smell reminds me of a towel that got wet a week ago.
Might be the smell of the DM Zone, but Idk

 

[DCobeen]

i hear all say they change their res ever 10-14 days im not sure. i change my mini system every 3 days.
love and peace

I cant afford to drian and refill 40 gal that often.

I have never used hydro, and so dont know what the smell is supposed to be...

I wish someone local to me could help lol.

 

[bassman999]

I came out this morning and found the hose fell off my air pump...I have no idea how long its been like that??

What a POS that thing it!
I zip-tied it on now, but that might be the reason.
It had some smell last night, but not as strong.
The water is foamy if that makes any difference, after getting the air going again, and running a water pump for an hr.

 

[DCobeen]

yes you want as much air as you can get. that would make it start to smell like wet towel/algae buildup. which shouldnt hurt anything. i want to do hydro all the way but not were i live now. i need a big room so i can setup right and have the room sealed with floor drain so if something happened i wouldn't flood the house.
love and peace.

Add a little hydro grade Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 once a week. It adds oxygen to your water and kills the algae.
I have seen some amazing grows where they never change the res (Slanty) and others that change it weekly (FlowaMasta).
I learned that I had to go and check my hydro every 2 hours because something always went wrong!

Cheers,

Yeah, I never change my rez, just keep putting water in.

Bassman... give it till the end of the day and see if it's better. That's not the smell you are looking for. I don't think it's the end of the world, but hydro in general doesn't smell like that dank locker-room smell.

Today is a fun Grandma day. My mom drove up to spend the day with me and baby. Mom went off for the night on business (yep gone again), poor gal. She works too hard. We're gonna figure out a way for her to leave her job. Too much work. Life is for living not working lol. A shame they don't pay much to just live.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

I am in your wifes boat Jig... but it aint gonna change. At least I dont have to leave so much like her. I used to live out of hotels it felt like. Have fun with Gma.

Have I mentioned that its as much about the growing as it is the smoking. lol

 

[jigfresh]

I'm clear on that. No one who feels so/so about growing puts in the work and artistry to their grows. Anyone with a perfect canopy loves their plants. (not to say those without a good canopy don't)

JUst adding a LIKE to everyone on the last three pages up to this point...LOL

Later Im going on a rep spree.

I dont think any water should have a smell under any conditions yet in just 2 days??

Does it matter that I use tap water instead of r/o?

 

[DCobeen]

Sprouting Seeds: add 30ml 3% H2O2 to 1 pint of water. Soak the seeds overnight.
Insecticide Spray: combine 250ml 3% H2O2 to 1 gallon spray mix.
Fast growing container plants: add 30ml of 3% H2O2 to 1 gallon water.
Hydroponics: apply 3% H2O2 at a rate of 30ml/gallon to the nutrient reservoir.

if you have the higher food grade version dilute it down to these levels.30 ml is 1 oz.
love and peace all

Lol yeah i try to give 3 rep out each day. i do the peroxide 1 time a week but i should be doing it every other day since i dont use a res with my system. 2 of my plants that was looking the weakest the soil bubbled allot, tell me it had fungus that i dont want around. and i add 1 oz to 1/2 gallon water of the 3% that makes it like .04% which is low.
love and peace all

 

[bassman999]

I write down all the info I receive in my pc notes.

Can I use or should I use H2o2 with Zone?

I didnt know it was good as an insecticide.
Can it be used as such during flowering?

 

[bassman999]

Man I get a totally different high type from trimming than smpking!!
Fu****g awesome!!

I think I am gonna revisit edibles, and maybe get same effect?

 

[DCobeen]

you can use peroxide with anything but they say dont use with organic ferts same time. i have organic soil ect and i use it on it. i need to get the 35% version allot more stable and doesnt have additives. but right now i spent my last money on new ph tester and ppm reader. so next month ill buy the 35% version.
love and peace.

I have 35% and have the Zone stuff, but PPM meters never last for me so back to drops

you need the big boy ph/ec/tds meter that mounts on wall and has plug in leads you hang in your res container. if i go with hydro all the way ill be getting that setup and bam another couple hundred dollars gone. they say you make allot of money growing wee. BS its not cheap to grow at first.

Stuff is too $$$ to make money lol, but I dont have to smoke other ppl crappy weed and thats good enough for me.
So I just grow for independence.
I want the wall mount one, but dont want another investment to constantly maintain.

Eventually if this hydro thing works out Ill invest in one.
