    ah, ok. You won't need your nose with regularly applied H2O2. You just won't get any root rot.

    PBP soil in hydro???

    Rockwool or fytocell. Skip Botanicare stuff. It's mainly organics (if not all). Organics are not compatible with H2O2. I have yet to see a fully effective organic microbial control. Yes to GH, not so sure about Lucas formula. I'd use it they way GH mark the package. Regardless of nutrients used...

    Drip - overwatering problems. Experienced persons wanted.

    Hygrozyme is an enzyme based pathogen control Not known to work well and is not compatible with H2O2. The best preventative for root rot is to not overwater. Not necessary. Just don't veg! Put just-rooted clones in to flower with zero veg time and you will get plants which finish about 30-40"...

    Drip - overwatering problems. Experienced persons wanted.

    How much H2O2 are you using, what strength and how often are you dosing the nutes with it? You should be using 50% grade H2O2 at 1ml/L every 3-4 days. Now that you appear to have a diagnosed pythium/fusarium thing going on, dump & clean your tanks, mix up a tank of water adjusted to pH 5.8...

    AL B. Fuct bud dryer box and curing

    If you're growing good DNA, the primary taste of the buds will be from a high resin content vs. vegetable mass. That resin content:veg mass ratio can't be changed by anything other than storing buds in a way that will cause sublimation or evaporation of resin, In other words, you can make it...

    AL B. Fuct bud dryer box and curing

    'Curing' isn't necessary. Glass jars are great for storage, but the buds shouldn't be put in them until they are at the right moisture content for storage. In the practical use of a dryer as I have specified, you will find that the outside of the buds will (of course) dry first. The outer...

    The flood & drain connectors are available at any hydro shop. They look sorta like this: A few bux each. You should also invest in a proper moulded flood tray. These have drainage channels moulded in as well as bow a bit toward the centre to permit all solution in the tray to drain back to...

    Drip - overwatering problems. Experienced persons wanted.

    If you're starting in 40mm RW cubes and using pots of pellets in a flood system, it should look a bit like this: The main point is to keep the flood level from touching the RW cube. 1/2" is a nominal suggestion. If the pellets are frequently wetted, the roots will seek to them readily. You...

    Drip - overwatering problems. Experienced persons wanted.

    Get some 50% grade H2O2 and dose your nutes every 3-4 days with 1ml per litre of tank volume. Along with reducing your watering duration and frequency, this should sort it out for you. I bet they were running lights 24/7 on the display grow as well. In the short term, that may help, but do...

    Molasses in rockwool?

    no wucking furries, mate. :) Gotta tell ya, in my 15 years of advising growers, I have found that the number of magic sauces on any given grower's shelf is inversely proportional to the grower's experience and success rate! Far too many new growers haven't gotten past the 'more is better'...

    Oh, come on. I'm a stoned slacker and I still managed last week to fit flood & drain fittings to a new tray in about 9 minutes. Did I mention I blew a half dozen cones and a half gram of hash before going into the workshop? Took me 5 mins to find the Dremel and the sanding drum. The other 4...

    zip-a-day-doo-dah! :) yeah, won't someone think of the bears? :lol: Wolves must not care about food with a high white trash content.

    You know, you certainly CAN have too much of a good thing. :D You should put that cold air to good use. If you chained Sarah Palin to something heavy for a few days, maybe the hypothermia would anaethetise her before the bears moved in for a snack. :D

    Flood systems are stupidly simple. Can't clog, easy to clean, waters multiple plants with no tubes, drippers, etc. Floods are the ideal recirculating hydro system for new growers and coincidentally ideal for SoG. I run 4x 900x900mm flood trays in my SoG op's flowering area, each with 23 plants...
