thanks, i will check it out
There are aquarium pumps that can do air and water pumping at the same time. Here is one of them https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363086043820

Lol how did it work for you?

Works great for me, as the years go by I have made modifications to fit how I wish to grow but the basic concept remains the same.

Yea it was an interesting read. More work than I can handle though. I have enough on my hands with my small grow. Lol.... it's really great that the OP shared that though.

imo its pricey but not that complicated. if you upgrade his 18 gallon res design to a 40 gallon reservoir, pH and Ppm levels are going to be more easier to deal with it. I let pH swing between 5.4-6.2, out of that it gets correct it back to 5.8. If your strain can take lets say 400 ppm max, that's where your grow work load it gets interesting lol but with stinkbud kiss method its easier.
I use a 1.9L motts jug lol with ro water and nutrients (A+B, Cal Mag), when ppm drop below 250, i will add back to 400 ppm, besides that make your system lightproof to avoid brown algae.
happy growing

I noticed stinksbud uses 1500-2000ppm in this system. I know every strain and grow is different but I have having a hard time dialing in my nutrients now for months I can’t get it perfect. Some times I will show a calcium deficiency which I believe I have corrected but it seems after week 3-4 the edges of my leaves get a brown look like a potassium deficiency. I have literally tried going down to 400ppm all the way to 1100ppm. Is it possible I am not feeding enough nutrients to my plants or do I have other issues going on?
I am using botanicare kind nutrients right now at half the recommended dose, 5ml per gal cal-mag, hydrogaurd. If I use the recommended dose it just seems so high of a ppm. I am asking this in here because I know a lot of you are also using this system and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am finishing with good yields but I stride to get the perfect grow and to me I haven’t achieved that flawless grow as of yet. Best to everyone and thanks for any help in advance!

I use the gh flora trio line using the Lucas formula. My ppms are around 1400 on the 7 scale.
Do you use RO water?

Looking good. Have you had any issues like I am having with this system? I don’t understand why sometimes my plants stress especially early on. I have perfect atmosphere conditions and lighting. It’s definitely a nutrient recipe issue.
how much calmag do you add using ro water?
I was thinking of upping it to 7ml per gal but botanicare kind base has calcium and magnesium in it so I am a bit confused as to what is going on here. It’s been a never ending struggle and I never had these problems in the past

I don't use any calmag. Just the Lucas formula. 8ml. Micro....16ml. Bloom. per gallon. Works great! And it's really easy. You can get floranova bloom which is the same as the Lucas formula, only its 1 part so its even easier. Google it.

Also you can run it full cycle.
I've been running the same ppms since it was this size. The first day I transplanted.

I tried cutting the ratio down and she didn't like it. I raised it to full strength and she's loved it ever since.
