The roots I'm seeing now in my bubbler are actually pretty decent. Hairs even. I wonder how you would get hairy roots without building a rather large fog collar? Or are you thinking of getting them after you cut your clone from the main stem? Diyer: The collar I menioned is just a neoprene disk...

All I'm saying is you should try the bubbles before you invest in another timer, pump, accumulator, solenoids, pressure switch, pressure gauge, etc... And if you're hoping to veg for any amount of time, yes you'll want to use some nutes.

Air pump, stone & a bucket/tote of nutes w/collar. I went with a cheap eco-plus aquarium air pump. $10 at the hydro store. I didn't get bubbleponics at first. Once I understood wtf it actually was it seemed like a great idea. The bubbles popping on the surface of the water create pretty small...

I would say bubbler isn't a bad option. It makes nice roots, and is probably the easiest system out there. The only potential problem I see is that after awhile the roots drop making a dwc. Still, this is the approach I'm gonna take.

It's all good. I am a little disappointed you aren't the fatman i was thinking, but i should've known. There are probably still a mod or three looking to smoke him out at first sight. I tried to get a better shot of the nozzles firing. Here's a 9 second clip of it. It's crazy when you see how...

Yeah, I'm not too worried about baby pics. It took me 2 months to figure out how to get healthy clones. Fog collar, eh? I'd like to see that.

I've heard of this technique, but can't seem to find it again. I wanna say it was called super cloning or some shit. The vid I saw, the guy scraped around a stem & put a starter cube or something on it, and wrapped the thing in saran wrap. The cool part is the clone feeds the whole time from the...

In the long run, an accumulator setup could result in less nozzle clogs in that you'd be able to run shorter mist times, and therefore less nutrient solution passing through the nozzle. In the long run...

I don't have a problem with that. I wish I would've incorporated it into my original design. Would've been flowering by now. Getting the nozzles aimed correctly made all the difference in the world. I have mine not exactly pointed at the center of the roots, but slightly off to either side. My...

I added the air gap today, and I finally feel comfortable leaving this thing alone for 10 days. Here's a bid of what I'm up to these days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7cqTcFcSuY I'm a fan of the longer veg times as well. I wanna grow em as possible!

Hell yeah, thanks for the idea. I was reading through TF's plug & play thread last night, but only found the bit where atomizer suggested anti-drip nozzles to keep pressure in the lines. I really the air gap will fix my problem. It totally makes sense. I like the clear pvc idea too. Instead of...

Yep, that sounds about right. So I just tee off to a capped off chunk of pvc, and that'll create an air cushon to absorb the shock? I imagine you would want to keep this section vertical & up high? Trichy, I did go with the same switch. I put it second in line to the pump, just after my gauge...

I got my new pressure gauge in today & hooked it up along with my pressure switch. I got the switch dialed but have discovered a problem. the soleniods opening trips the switch. When the tank is full, this isn't a huge problem. When the pump is filling the tank & the solenoids fire, the pressure...

Not to change the subject, but what do y'all think about this whacky idea? A female plant develops trichs to catch male pollen. the reason buds now get so swollen, is because we've isolated males, and the female plant is basically frustrated & swells up to try & increase the chance of getting...

I think I understand where you're coming from. If I didn't receive the help I did from tree farmer, I might think trichy's level of respect for him was.... abundant, maybe. But I also think his intentions are pretty noble. He's a better man than me, in that he will always make a point to give...

Since getting into this, I can say that the haters are always gonna be there. I didn't know the first thing about growing a little over a year ago. I was watching an episode of trailer park boys, and saw a DIY hydro setup, & needed a new hobby. So I read. I didn't get it right the first time...

He's just mad cause he doesn't have these... I dunno what it is, but in the last few days these bitches are really starting to fuzz up. Probably had something to do with me getting the proper amount of air pressure in my accumulator. Noticable with each day. I can't wait to see how big...

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like snake oil to me. Its like my favorite comedian says about big dick pills. If they were real, we'd all be lugging around massive units. Doug Stanhope, btw.

Awe man, I give you all the credit in the world. I was just mis-informed. Go fuckin figure. I should've known better than to take the advice of a man being paid 8 bucks an hour. I thought the door & window shit would be more adept to moisture as that's where you'd want a moisture barrier. My...

I don't care how good your shit is. If you haven't done a pesto joint... Yeah AJ, I dig your mad fab skillz. You got my attention for sure.
