1 week into flower, ppm's are 950 and the ph is 6.0

Nutrients used are the whole GH line, mainly just micro grow and bloom though.

C02 is injected every 5 mins all day long, muahaha. The central c02 controller controls the exaust fan, intake and c02 imitter to keep the C02 between 1440 and 1500 all day and the C02 line is pinched into the back of an oscillating fan which is set lightly and above the plants to coat them thoroughly in gas ;).

So Crop, pardon my ignorance as I've never ventured into the land of Hydro at all, but what I gather from reading the start of your thread is that the 2 tables you have are actually wide flat and shallow DWC tanks? I get the idea about the tubing in them, but how do these tables interact with your large barrel-style reservoir, and which of these is the O2 generator going into? I'm assuming the barrel? I'm guessing that the barrel feeds the two DWC tables, but your comment about the DWCs hissing when they get low threw me off again.

Could you post a pic of the O2 generator? And if you don't mind me asking, what did that thing run ya? I'm just intrigued by this little addition as it makes so much sense with your setup. But then I'm wondering....how fast is it going to make the water in the reservoir dissipate?

I love your attention to detail and I'm just trying to educate myself on your setup. Maybe I'll move in that direction eventually.

Hey D.C, no worries! questions is what this things all about. OK I apologize for not being clear, I was saying that I really love the DWC style setup and I can't wait to set it up there when these modified dutch tables are finished ( not that I don't enjoy growing these tables out)

These tables are two 4x8 tables side by side lined with air lines in the channels and eight huge bags of Hydroton rock dumped on top. Six drains are plugged into the tables in total for really good drainage so they are on a dripping recirculating feed 1 hr on and half an hr off all day to help the roots stretch for water. So they are more of a shallow NFT\Drip system.. I just threw it together really quickly to get a harvest over with while I setup the real deal DWC setup which will be the one housing the Hydrogen to Oxygen generator you asked about...

I wish I could tell you the price but I don't know yet, I am waiting for it to come to a nearby shop (probably 1,500 - 3,000) hopefully less...

I cant stress enough on AIR!... tons of air in everything, some of the biggest buds I have seen in my life where grown from a man who was an air-nut. He grew in DWC and used stupid amounts of air in all of his buckets\reservoirs..

Hells yes, that's what I'm talking about too Crop. I've actually been waiting for years for those PLS lights to catch on. I read that Dutch growers were using them years ago with fantastic success. They're not even that expensive really. I'm just waiting on a lower wattage model to come out first. I surely don't need 700+ watts myself, but you could benefit from these greatly my friend. I've heard the best thing about them is their throwing distance, if you know about that sort of thing. It's WAY superior to anything currently available, and when everyone else wakes up the world will forget all about LEDs.

Actually, I've been waiting since the 1995 issue of High Times that had a PLS bulb on the cover! I remember being like 17 and just being amazed by the article.

So how big is this O2 generator? And any idea if it's going to make water disappear quicker? I figured you'd have that in a DWC unit...

Hey D.C I just got back from the hydro store and me and the guy where on the phone for a while with the distributors that carry the " Oxy Gen" oxygen generator and FINALLY we got through to the right person (not the little sales girls that have no clue how it works) and apparently it absorbs the hydrogen molecules and leaves the water "rich in oxygen". To be 100% honest I still don't fully understand how it works but me and the hydro guy both agree that if it does what it says it does then we're rock'n!.. The unit costs 1,200 bucks and probably a lot more if you weren't buying half the store but for 1,200 to omit the worry of root rot, increase growth and bud size majorly and if a pump fails to recirculate system stagnant water will be like running water. I did ask if it would dissipate the water and he said no.

Yea those plasma bulbs are freakin crazy! I saw a Hydroponics Sulphur Plasma tube that looks like a grow room off of star trek somewhere on the net.. The hydro guy said that some Red spectrum plasma bulbs are on the way, they had one that was crazy expensive and they gave it to some guy as a tester, almost made me cry.

F'n Eh! Alexonfire...

Oh yeah, that res picture was taken to explain the underside of the tables a little better to D.C and the rest of the people watching.

Yeah as long as you are or have a patient that want you to grow for them. Fill out all the proper forms, type in " Medical Marihuana Forms" into google

Yea dude, marijuana is helping people with aids, spinal cord injury, MS, skin disease, hep c, chronic pain, sleeping disorder etc etc etc...
If you could imagine how it makes us feel and we are healthy how numbing it would be to someone really in need of some pain relief..
