    100% perlite, 1.2 EC, is no run off ok?

    thanks dude. thats a really nice light, so about 1000 watt equivalent hps? would going up to 1.8 ec start creating salt build up if i dont have run off and hand feeding? i guess it didnt for you seeing that bud.

    wow man thats a gigantic bud, so yeah i guess no troubles. whats that plants name? what was the lighting for that? coco capillary action thats cool how light did the pot get between feeds? what ec do you use? i guess the feed depth it sits in is similar to the auto pot depth hey so like 2...

    100% perlite, 1.2 EC, is no run off ok?

    24 hours sitting in the solution? then do it again when the pot is light? like a slower flood and drain almost? yeah i believed i was using the capillary action of the perlite with the with hand feeding, i just dumped a bunch of feed in thinking its going to spread out? they are all very...

    hello, so yes its flowering time and im doing 100% perlite, canna aqua flores, 1.2 EC, is no run off ok or will there be too much salt build up and mess it all up? ive read several times 1.2 will not create a salt build up. thank you!

    will a single line to top feed in perlite spread through the medium??

    i keep reading perlite wicks up, one guy even said it can wick upwards 2 feet? so if i had a single line into a container that is wide but not tall, maybe 8 inches tall, and a drain hole about a 1.5 inches from the bottom to create a reservoir, the water that fills the bottom will wick up to...

    will a single line to top feed in perlite spread through the medium??

    nice man thank you. mini sprayers thats good idea, lots cheaper than the watering rings. im using100 % perlite not pebbles, i think the water spreads out alot more with all perlite but i want multiple watering points anyhow as the containers arent deep but low and wide.

    will a single line to top feed in perlite spread through the medium??

    so if i put a single 4mm top feed line into a 12 liter bucket of perlite will the water spread out as it goes down or does it more or less go straight down? i see lots of people with one feed line so my common sense tells me the water must spread out but is it a little bit or does it cover the...
