Well at levels high enough to kill bacteria it could kill the roots, that's why it wouldn't work in Dwc. I found out that it's called anodic oxidation, and as applied in horticulture it just uses a bunch of electricity to essentially form new chlorine compounds from the reservoir nutrients.

Yes, your light will be distributed evenly enough. If you were using LED, well, that can get a bit more complicated. The question, though, is are they getting enough light? That is subjective. Most people claim light to be the "limiting factor" and it usually is, but I think nitrogen is also...

Light does not travel in a particle nature. Light travels in a wave nature. Imagine you're sitting on the shoreline, watching the waves roll in and out. Light is kind of like that, except it's a 3 mile high tsunami that will rock your socks and rip into every nook and cranny that you don't...

No you don't. PAR means photosynthetic active radiation, it ONLY measures light that plants can use. You're thinking of a lumen meter, lumen is for visible light, not all of which a plant can use. If you look at the light, is it cool or warm? Cool for veg, warm for flower. Then a...

Just rent a PAR meter from a fish place. It's something like $20 a week with a couple hundred deposit which you get back when you return the meter. A spectrometer will only tell you what wavelengths you have. A PAR meter will tell you how much light you have that the plant can use. US...

Well electricity kills everything. It will even kill you if you take 500 milliamps directly across your heart.. That's why I admit this is dangerous and has its limitations. Although if you had an electrically insulated res (read, no contact between the water and any conductor), a given...

Uv can hurt the minerals. Beneficial bacteria smackteria. Why wouldn't it work? Does it only work because the electricity heats them up and thus your res? Chlorine can't kill everything.

OK so I was thinking.. As long as you're not on DWC, why not use electricity to kill the bacteria in your aero cloner, ebb and flood, nft, etc. Just have all the water in the res, put in a little contraption, and walk away (so you're not tempted to touch) then zap. You would need a...

Put em in a worm farm, they'll eat em right up and you'll have ewc to boot.

No. Law of conservation of energy. Light = gamma and x-rays, IR, Uvis, PAR, radio waves etc... It's all energy and plants need energy from somewhere. A plant could however possibly be modified to say, grow off radio waves... The radio stations would be maaaaaaaaaad lol.. Plus they...

If you drive them harder the efficiency decreases and they burn out more quickly.

So it's like he's got one wire in a stock tank and feeds to an air assisted mist head and another wire on the plant. When the whole thing turns on a solenoid opens the flow of water to the mister and opens up the air to the mist head too. A high voltage low amperage power source charges say...

Now I don't grow weed so don't quote me, but I always read that sog/scrog/trees all yield the same in optimal conditions, that light usually is the weak link which will determine yield. The difference being veg time, so sog could yield significantly more per year. Fwiw, the government...

I have heard black dog are just rebranded marshydro, but they actually recommend (BD), something like 40-60 watts per sqft, which is similar to hps, so you could potentially get good yield/space if you follow the recommendation. Most LED growers I've seen top out at 35watts per sqft. I...

Earth... Worm... Casting... Tea. I'll let you make your own choices now. Just saying, look at people using it in aerocloners. Fixed all their issues.

So if I understand correctly, this is like what they use to clean dust out of factory exhaust by charging the stack and a wire in the middle. Except the stack is water/nutes and the wire is the plant. With the exception that nitrogen isn't able to be provided in high enough amounts so then...

Try doing some research on EWC tea in your reservoir. I've read a lot of people brew their own and because of the sheer number of different microorganisms that the pythium is out competed for any small amount of resources. I've also read they allow their reservoirs to get up into the low...

I spoke cigars and don't want my wife to know. I only smoke outside or in car with window down and would never spray myself/car with ozium you can pick up at Walmart or meijer because I'm pretty sure that's against label use /fed law. I do pop 3 of the really minty ice breakers then another 3...

Alright so 10 bucks says Little Jacob is working for some company in china trying to sell their lights but passing it off that he's french because of all the people hating on the chinese in this thread. Just curious, for the guys giving the numbers on their DIY lights are you counting just the...

Go buy a cheap car on it's last leg and either paint it yourself or have maaco or someone put on a single stage acrylic enamel and leave it in your driveway, looks like someone's home. Also, you can get random lamp timers that turn lights on in your home randomly
