    Organics is the same thing just less efficient with bacteria to make it slightly more efficient. This isn't bro science and you obviously are a bro scientist because I highly doubt you've read any scientific peer reviewed articles on hydroponic / aeroponic horticulture or you wouldn't be of...

    Sealed room advice

    Frame it out and put a nice exterior door up. Staple up some 6 mil polyethylene 10x100 roll stuff with the string in it(doesn't rip easily and if it does rip it wont rip long) to every joist and use house wrap tape on the seams and over the staples. Use window/door caulk for the corners. Do...

    which zyme's do i buy tommorow? help!!

    Forget DWC..I think it's too much of a hassle to worry about the roots sitting in water and if you don't provide enough air (of which the max saturation of water is like 2% no matter how many bubbles you add) your roots will die and potentially rot and cause problems and then you're fighting the...

    Just going to mentioned that Nitrogen is generally deficient in almost every grow. If you were to grow two clone plants next to each other in the EXACT same soil/soil-less medium with the light equally distributed you could see if this is the case. Provide one with your regular nutrient mix...

    Potassium Sulphate and Calcium Nitrate will precipitate so those need to be separate. Mono potassium phosphate I'm not sure about, I just used hydro buddy to check for me but you can use charts like this too: As far as doing a three part with the micro's separate..yes that would work...

    Ok, so first off, my experience in electrical 'engineering' is limited to a basic high school course I took years ago. I'm looking for someone who can explain this to me in 'dummy' terms. Ok so here's the deal: I'm running pump1 through a flow switch and a backflow preventer. After the...

    What fertilizer are you using? Why do you want to add more nitrogen? Try adding small amounts of this: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xspectracide+stump+remove&_nkw=spectracide+stump+remover&_sacat=0 100% pure KNO3. This provides both...

    Most likely..no, not in hydro. Not unless you want to try and wage the good bacteria vs. the bad and only experience benefits if you're not providing enough nitrates. If you're competent enough to manage bacteria you're more than competent enough to provide enough nitrates. As such is the...

    When using ready made micros I would ask: Which specific chemicals did you mix? (So you can find out if it will be compatible with your A or B solution to keep precipitate from forming.) If they just specify use x grams per L of 100x stock solution or something you'd be fine but you're...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you're doing tissue culture clones do any of those hormones have a positive effect? I believe with a foliar spray of chitan and triacontanol (Basically the same stuff Dick Stoner sells for $60 a quart) you can get some good results but I'm not sure about any...

    Welcome to the list :clap::hump: I wasn't able to really find magnesium nitrate and that's why I didn't recommend it. Most people I didn't think would be able to synthesize it. The only way I can think to compensate is to use potassium sulfate in lieu of potassium hydroxide if you're going...

    You might have some Zinc in your tap...you don't need much at all. If you wanted to add N you could do it with Mg to get to 2.7NPK ratio which would bring Mg to 70ppm. If you already have Nitric acid you just add in magnesium metal..which is dirt cheap compared to nitric acid. Do this in a...

    Scam? Are either of us selling chemicals? Or for that matter, with some of these chemicals..are we selling PPE? Just discussing custom nutrient formulations. FWIW your body produces ammonium which ends up eventually in your urine as a byproduct of digesting meat. Too high of levels in your...

    Ok so this formulations is my own but feel free to use it. This makes a 1 gallon at 200x concentrate so adjust to your desired EC. It is based somewhat off of Fatmans nutrients. The program I used was hydrobuddy and the PPM may seem a little bit off especially in calcium since I based my...
