    why is this happening

    my taps fine its not hard water but i find it pointless to discuss ppm because ppm is a shit way to explain things its 230 ish but im not 100% on the scale it uses it could be 700 or 500 hints why i say pointless to discuss ppm readings. i pretty much dont bother with it anymore because i know...

    why is this happening

    i probably would if i had the equipment. i have thought about ph down being acidic and maybe being one reason for this happening and shocking the nutrients solution but i water down my ph before adding it.maybe not enough it is very concentrated to start with before i mix it 50/50 with water...

    why is this happening

    ive grown dwc for about a year now and i have never seen this in such large amounts. i use rockwool and clay balls but i use them on top of my rockwool to prevent algae growing on the rockwool and they dont have any contact with the water so cant be contributing to sediment. i guess ill try...

    First time trying to clone any tips ?

    they dont look the best. i dont have high hops for them . i think you should fill the container more with water like 2 inches below the top so more of the stem is submerged in water and i dont think a see though container is a good idea. take some black plastic, tin foil or something to block...

    Favorite PPM/TDS meter?

    not saying its 100% reliable but i have been using a $5 TDS meter for over a full year with no problem but go for a EC meter if you want people to understand your readings as TDS had too many differences between make and model. EC is consistent over every country i believe dont cheap out on the...

    insulating to sound proof extract fan question

    i tried that for the 1st fan i got years ago but i was running the fan off a cheap speed controller and doing that melted one of my timers and put too much resistance in my electrical wiring. i was going to buy a variac to control the speed correctly but i wasn't willing to spend $500 ish at the...

    insulating to sound proof extract fan question

    i see no reason to maintain the fan if i use dust filters once the bearings go i wouldn't try fix it after my only concern would be if the foam leaked inside the fan somehow or the foam crushing the ducting box with in a box is a good idea but i think the end product might be huge im thinking...
