[howak47]

everything is lookin fucin great man ...keep up the good work tried to +REP u but it want let me

 

[chitownsmoking]

Try it out man, it is simple if you have a pH meter and ppm meter



Thanks jerry



The dude obviously had some suppressed anger towards his mom. Who would insult my mother over me calling your bullshit claims out? Lol he is a loser



It can hold 1.5 gallons when it full to the top but I only have it holding like .5-.75 gallons normally. The air pump is a cheap one from wal-mart, 20-60 gallon

damn tom you got that strong of a pump in that little bit of water??? shit no wonder your plants growing soo fast.

 

[tom__420]

It is a cheap ten dollar pump from wal-mart
That isn't the reason they are growing so fast, it is due to me properly feeding them

i donno tom....... dont mater what you paid for that pump the fact still remains you have a pump that can aerate a 60 gallon fish tank running threw not even a gallon of water, the more oxygen you supply to roots the faster they grow. thats just basic facts right there......

 

[tom__420]

Yes I know but I was getting the exact same growth rate with a ten gallon pump
I am over 1000 ppm in the first week of flowering
You would probably say that I would be burning my plants right?
I can tell you that I will be over 1500 ppm before week three of flowering

thats cool tom diffrent strains like diffrent amounts of nutes.

you know what would be a cool experiment? grow the same strain in the same size rez, with same nutes and levels of nutes, with the only diffrence being in the air pumps. use one for a 5-10 gallon tank, and compare that with your 60 gallon one

I'm at 1500 at a month. It's doable. I'll probably top out at around 2.2 2.3 EC

iam totally cofuse here buddys ... my plants are stunt for a week now due to what??? i use the same sys as Tom dobble blottle chamber where the roots grow on air then hang in water with air pump and all the same , first was the bottom leafs slowly yellowing then was the roots stop growing ... my ppm is at 300 to 400 and ph at 6.2 with a low growth ratio of less than an inch per week at 24/0 and a half of recomended doses of earth juice grow ... wtf iam doing wrong... i may have made a bad cross between strains ??? my temps are 78ish and 85ish at most...... i wasnt build for hydro...

what should i do ... i get no problems in soil bessides the late flowering nute burn ...

Your pH is too high, keep it at 5.9

 

[chitownsmoking]

Your pH is too high, keep it at 5.9

i was thinking that to... it is kinda high for hydro. though most strains do kinda like a bit of a swing of a ph level.

lol i thought you were gonna say feed more to be honest with you lol

i try to but since i up the N with in a day or too it goes up again... how oftem do you change the water?

once a week or atleast change once every other week. some people do the latter cuzz they feel they are wasteing hella nutes by changing out rez every week

 

[RusMik]

damn tom looks like you're ahead of me. i'll go ahead and subscribe. i'm finishing that 3 weeks of veg and you're already flowering, it's like looking into the future. anyway good job lookin tits!

personally, i have found it fine for every other week with chemical nutrients, but had all kinds of issues with trying that with organics. Organics should be changed roughly every week, chem can go for 2 no prob as long as your ppms arent droping like crazy. dont want your girls sitting in some 400ppm leftovers 3 weeks into flower.

yea when i was goin dro i changed water once a week till flower then changed it every 2 or 3 weeks and i keep my ph aroung 5.8 to 6.0 and was good

 

[volcomrider157]

that kush plant is growing hella good tom, mad props, Im in.

 

[SL2]
