You know, I do too. I have those, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fit them without raising the buckets up more. I just went and tried it out, and the smallest I can make it stick out, down to the bend in the elbow, exacly 5". Perfect. I am upgrading to these tonight.

They sell float valves made to take a gravity feed or pressure feed. I highly recommend gravity feed because it means that a failure dumps a bucket of water... a pressure feed means a failure goes until someone stops it. In fact, the local shop, as far as I can tell, currently only carries the...

In a bid to optimize my latest system, I made the trade off of using 1/2" tubing with grommet/elbow connections. It drains slow, but that isn't really the problem. I expected that. The problem is its a little bit leaky, not majorly, it took me a bit to determine it wasn't just condensation...

Figured its been almost a month, time for an update. The No Pest Strips (dichlorvos) really did the job. I used two of them, one in the mother area (which is not really well sealed off from the room, just a plastic curtain), and one in my grow chamber (3'x3'x6'). The one in the grow chamber...

That makes a lot of sense. My first few runs, there were a few times I put straight water under them and took readings. My water went from 100ppm out of the tap to 200-300 just washing salts off the roots and containers. That is one of the reasons I was thinking that flushing water in while I...

They were hungry, I took the pics mid flush, so they are all fed up nice now. Since I have been putting off flowering and expecting to run long and prune back, I am not too worried about how fast they are growing, so I let the solution run long, why waste nutes just to prune it back? After I...

Have been playing on and off with DWC systems for a bit, thought I would share my most recent hobby. The plan is to build two identical systems, where I can exert as much control as is reasonable, and generate good data and good bud. The aim here is to make something that can be consistent...

You and I are very much on the same wavelength. I have looked a bit into this. Temperature is easy. humidity too. You can get sensors from any electronics supplier, hell The Shack sometimes has them in the store. On the other hand TDS and PH can be trickier. I found this web page a while back...

I always wanted to get on overgrow, but I wasn't really growing when it was in operation. So I did some searching and, it seems this and grasscity seem to be some of the better grower sites I found, but they block tor users from registering:clap:, so here I am. I have done a few grows in the...

But what is it? I have been reading up a bit trying to find what is actually IN it, and its just water. I have water coming out my tap. Whats worst, these claims of "frequency water"? Seriously? Claims don't get much more snake oil BS than that "Mighty Wash is a ready to use “Frequency...

This says otherwise. I am inclined to believe Ed. I have seen a few other references to it. Not sure I will need a whole canister for a 3x3 fairly well sealed tent. Even so, if all the eggs are gone before I even start flowering, if they don't take hold quickly, they wont have time to really...

I have been fighting the spider mite recently. I also happen to have a nice binocular microscope at my disposal. Maybe one of these days I will set up the camera and share some pics. Though its unlikely since I don't like to bring the microscope over by the PC where I toke. Killing spider...
