How to keep GH Nova stirred up in your reservoir...

[Hobgoblit]

I turn a pump sideways on one side of my reservoir, no hose, just freely running the contents across the bottom. Best when started with a clean tub.

will heat up the res too much

 

[Hobgoblit]

My water temp is fine, and my res is only 5 gallons

The magnetic motors also will draw the iron from your solution at an accelerated rate so that needs to be accounted for in some situations.

use bloom nutes or supernatural

you can always use an air stone like the rest of us.

Funny, figured you as a veteran, would consider that a given...

then why the pump? It does add heat if run much especially in a tiny res, while it does not add any o2.

What is a fine temp?

You must have never grown with floranova, everyone knows how it leaves a film in the bottom of the reservoir, this helps. I have a rather large air stone, and the temp stays around 75...

Ok, though 75 is too high.

I use dynagro.

Doesn't matter, this post was about keeping Nova stirred up. As for my temp, my plants love it, to each his own my friend. And BTW, the pump Im using is the size of a jumbo shrimp, no heat...I wouldn't suggest a 200 gph

i run 2 pumps 1 to circulate my nutes & 1 on a timer to flood ive used floranova & the 3 part flora series as well as the 2- part maxi series nutes now on 8th grow using this method floranova tends to leave deposits on reservoir bottom but its my favorite nutrient line so far

 

[horribleherk]

oh yeah i have an aquarium air pump as well as far as pumps causing iron defiency ive never heard of it im circulating with a 160 gph pump in a 10 gal res. if something works for you than by all means roll with it

 

[Hobgoblit]

Works for me, just thought i'd put it out there. And yes, I do agree, Nova is the shit...

 

[horribleherk]

here is a couple of highlites of floranova grows using keep it simple recirc. schedule these were grown in rockwool & the strain was superlemon haze the jack daniels bud was a friends the rest were mine the one turning color was querkle the point is these were all grown with floranova & a full time recirculating pump in my reservoir

I have a set of valve leaving my rez that enables me to pump out my rez. I leave this valve open slightly and have a return line to the rez into which it connects to a pvc cap with holes drilled in it. So not only does it keep the rez cirucalting it also aerates the solution in combination with my airstone.

Moving solutions are less likely to grow bacteria....

I agree, supernatural run's much cleaner than flora nova!
