i just called a couple local health food stores and they both carry 35% food grade H2O2 for a reasonable price. made it seem like the hydro shops are ripping people off by needlessly recommending more expensive products that aren't even comparable so i called my regular shop. i had a short...

i stopped by this thread since i use AN and i gotta say...damn people. the nutrients a grower uses are only one part of the picture. people can argue all day long from their pc but the only way to tell if something works is by trying it. different water quality, environmental details...

GENERALLY SPEAKING (means this is my experience, others' may differ) smaller tub = smaller roots = smaller plants also smaller res = more maintenance = adding water more often & more checking pH/ppm's and a smaller res absorbs heat faster making it more work to keep your solution's...

see if i can cut in past the pointless drama up there.... i was wondering about the floranova. are you still using floranova bloom for your base nutes? i have six plants about a week from harvest that i fed floranova grow and bloom then switched to advanced sensi bloom a+b 3 weeks into...

+1 for utility knife - just be sure to cut in a direction that's away from your flesh or you'll loose a corner of your totin' chit.

Deep water culture From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Deep water culture (DWC) is a hydroponic method of plant production by means of suspending the plant roots in a solution of nutrient rich, oxygenated water. Contents [hide] <LI class=toclevel-1>1...

any setup will ony perform as well as the grower is willing and able to utilize that setup. that said, some growers just don't like doing some things or dealing with some of the details of a particular setup/grow style. i like how plants grow in dwc but i don't like maintaining a res. just...

what is food grade vs. horticultural grade and where would i look for it? i've asked around hydro shops and heard that cali has some bs hazmat law that prevents the retail sale of H2O2 in concentrations above 7%. i've found from 3% to 5.5% in drug stores but the problem with those products...

i never left growing but i try different things all the time and i'll try more grow styles in the future.

i spent a few minutes cooking up a rough sketch in ms paint. the idea is to have 3 individual RDWC setups, each fully contained so that they can have different nute solutions and that will allow me to start each set of plants flowering at 2-3 weeks offset and harvest every 2-3 weeks once its...

i've been fighting fungus gnats. i think one rode in with the clones i just got but i had some in my room already. i got some Go Gnats (http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=6877) and have been adding it to their water for a couple days. the shit works. i really only ever saw the one...

comes down to price and availability really but the diaphragm pumps most use are aquarium style pumps, very quiet and produce no heat. i use two styles, 45L/m active air piston pumps and 60 gallon aquarium rated diaphragm pumps. my piston pumps are louder because they vibrate a lot more and...

diaphragm pumps are usually way quieter and don't produce nearly as much heat. from the page provided, the 50L/m diaphragm pump draws 40watts while the gold 50L/m pump draws 45watts making the diaphragm pump more efficient.

i've read multiple pages (the ones relevant to me) but not the entire document. it straight says they can do whatever the fuck they want within certain criteria that they dictate and that they can even create from scratch in any situation. nice, huh? i haven't read any of the second patriot...

have you ever read that unconstitutional heap of tyrranical shit called the patriot act?

it was a hydro shop. i have three hydro shops in driving distance that i call to compare prices between and then i go to the one that has what i need the cheapest. their prices are lower because of market competition which is a beautiful thing, now if we could just get the stupid liberals...

see signature. fuck the man.

when i started my first grow in rubbermaid tubs i had lots of issues so i made a list of requirements for my next dwc setup. i want: at least 2gal solution per plant, ideally 3-4gallons and at least 15gal per res. easy res changes with a pump to do the work for me easy removal of upper...

thanks for the comment. i haven't been growing very long at all but i've tried soil, dwc, coco and i occasionally lend a hand to my buddy's aero grows. eventually i'd like to try every method i can to see what really works best for me because real world experience is really the only way to tell.

i've got 2 hydrofarm 45L/min pumps. at 3.8L/gallon that's 11.8gallons/minute each. i paid $40 each at a hydro shop. my pumps are kinda loud and get warm but not hot. the higher output "commercial" style pumps are all much louder, a big deal if noise is important... the higher output pumps...
