I also don't use airstones in my plant buckets. The water trickling through whatever medium is in your netpots(I use rockwoll cubes) is sufficient. For me at least! :)

You can probably do without the air pumps. I've found them to actually be a slow and inefficient way of oxygenating your water. I would suggest just a cheap water pump in the Res (even like 100 gph) and just run a tube and "waterfall" the water as far as possible through the air and back into...

ok so it had been a few weeks and the plush5 and plush22 plants are booming. amazing rates of growth and a beautiful green tint. the roots are pearly white! but. on the other hand. the 6 hawaiian plants i included in one of the systems are freaking out. the leaves are splotch browning, looks...

been pretty consistant. if anything it seems to be raising but the microbe tea does a good job of bringing it back down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGrNwjsLeak the video shows them about a week ago and when they were about a week in. started it filled with r/o water and added ionic hydro-grow at 3/4's recommended dose bringing the ppms up to around 160. then brought ph to 5.2 - 5.3 with little needed...

When I'm brewing can I add too much molasses or if I'm using great white should I use molasses at all?

how does the water get returned from the res to the plants? are there feed tubes im not seeing from the pics?

working on it. more importantly gotta work on getting some bucks for another T5 before by babies get to big. expect pics within the week

im sorry if i sound like a broken record here but, should i use the tea in my RDWC water if i have no problems so far or will it have negative effects on my roots?

ya i would definitely stagger them so the lower plants wont block the light to ones on the different rows as they get taller. i've been considering this type of setup for a while now. best light use by far!

hydroton was the worst decision i ever made as well as being the most difficult medium to manage. is seems that the only thing bigbuddahcheeses mind is dollar signs...

all in all the thing was pretty expensive(around 800 total) but its not like your gonna find one for anywhere near that anywhere else. *fingers crossed*

ok so i've been experimenting with systems for about a year now and think i found a winner. got decent success on my first ebbnflow grow but by the second one it started to fail. im assuming its from the dirty medium(hydroton) or whatever nastiness i didn't manage to clean out of the system from...

they would probably just get to big to fit in your tray as well as being unmanageable. your roots would be exposed to light and have no medium to grab on to and they would die for sure. it is possible to take clones from a flowering plant if that can make your timing any more manageable. other...

i just drilled 1'' holes in the lower side of my 5gals with a whole borer from homedepot and bought 1'' black flex tubing and just kinda rammed the tubes in the whole. the hole was a bit smaller so the tube pushes out creating a water tight seal. havent leaked a drop and i got 16 5gals all...

lame. what a waste of ten minutes.

I have a 16site ucdwc and I can't seem to get a good even flow to each of my individual buckets. I've tried sever small pumps, two medium and even 1 large sump and still the flow is uneven and doesn't even flow through to some of the buckets. And advice would help. I'm thinking a better...
