    way better than airstones

    Hey everybody! Just FYI. When ya buy one of those EcoPlus pumps these days(at least the 396gph), they come with a special fitting to screw into the SUCTION(intake) side of the pump that is designed to hook a piece of airline tubing to, to be left hanging out of the res to suck the perfect...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    A cycle timer solution for those who understand how to add heavy duty contactors and want to save a few bucks. I just wanted to make sure any new folks know about this, just in case. A few years back, I discovered that with one of these timers, running a heavy enough contactor, I could turn on...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    As far as that Hybrid DWC/Aero design goes, I have to take a little credit for myself, after coming up with the idea and implementing that system. About ten years ago, shortly after I first got into aero, I lost a promising harvest due to a pump failure. That's when I started letting the roots...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    I don't think they have much of an algea problem since they change the nute solution every three weeks, and, I think, the water is supposed to fall back into the resevoir, since, it is a recirculating system. We are all over at "Stinkbuddies.com", if you need any more assistance. CYA There!

    General Inquiry (imagine that!)

    Sorry. I see now that they will be aproaching maturity before you leave so you would need an auto-watering system. But the air circulation problem still remains.

    General Inquiry (imagine that!)

    So you will be back in seventeen days. Am I missing something here? If you were to start each seed in at least, say, a half gallon pot, then water once, then the seeds should have all the moisture in the soil that they would need for that amount of time. What I would be HIGHLY concerned...

    Hello everybody. I've spending some time over on the new stinkbuddies site. It's pretty great to see all of the best info piling up over there. Robotninja, I had an thought when I saw this post of yours. Has anyone ever tried putting just a dash of garlic and pepper in their solution? You...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Thanks for the interest H8PoPo. Of course we have to change nutes every couple weeks but I only do major cleaning after harvest. I would just pick up what ever I used to sit my tubs or tubes on and what ever I cover my short floor res with and wipe down. I did a little quick math on a...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    I just thought of something you or someone might want to try. What about putting the reservoir well out of the way, and put the posts just a few inches off the floor. Then, drain the posts into an automatic condensate pump that automatically sends the solution back to the reservoir. I know...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    If the info has not made it yet, then those of us that have read this entire thread word for word need to help transfer all of the most important info over to Stinks new site to give him a helping hand. That contacter setup needs to be documented for 240 and 120 systems on Stinks site.

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Wrong! That relay setup in that link is for lights only and is a 240 volt system. Pumps run on 120v(here in the USA anyway). So the design of the relay setup would just have to be modified to have a regular 120 volt standard extension cord in stead of the dryer plug. You can chop up an...
