They suck. 4K down the drain. Old thread but spreading the word. After spending 4 k on a cold trap, it failed, they won’t even let me talk to technical support! Just front line telephone answerers. “They have four guys working on it”. Next sentence, they only have 5 people! Really...

No saying it can’t be done. Have done it. You want reliable results in the reservoirs, get a frigging chiller. Then top off with 2 ml per gal of HO2O to make sure everything’s fresh with your weekly note change. Use all the chemicals you want. Temp above 70 f is trouble.

This is rdwc. Vermiculite would play hell in that system. Good info for soil or coco growers.

If you don’t have chiller forget it

Icy, get the 4.0 and the 7.0 calibration fluid. Also, the storage solution. Good growing!

Absolutely agree with eliminating any organics. I am unfamiliar with COS, can you enlighten me? I agree sterility is keyin a rdwc system but for my money, temperature is the key ingredient to a clean grow. Unless you go to another form of hydro, a chiller is an absolute necessity. I...

Just get some ph up or some potassium silicate and slowly, gradually raise the ph. I let mine swing between 5.4 and 6.5. Unless it is outside of that range, don’t mess with it. Also, are you changing your reservoir weekly. Ive found just topping off leads to imbalances. Don’t get...

Doesn’t check soil. Not a soil grower but you should check the run off and compare with what your putting in. Perhaps a soil grower can chime in here.

Nice choice!

I know this is an old thread but if anyone comes across a problem like this get call a lawyer. This is called extortion. It is illegal to extort anything, pull out your phone and record the extortion attempt. Turn the recording over to your lawyer, problem solved.

Never used dripper either. Two carrots per plant in prepared trenches in ground. As with anything, just keep an eye on things. I have a 275 gallon tote that I use as a reservoir. I have that connected to a 24 volt pressure pump, attached to a two gallon accumulator tank (pressure tank)...

I’ve been using Blumats out doors for years. There is some very good info in this thread. Richard D has provided solid info as have many others. I don’t get the flooding; hoses, or fittings come loose or just a runaway dripper? Never had that problem but use them outside exclusively. Do not...

Good luck!

Also, something else to explore. Check out blumat carrots. I don’t use regular drip hose in my hoophouse, as long as your running 1/2” supply lines you should be good to go. Do not run any organics In a drip system, my experience anyway.

I don’t know how to post a link to Amazon. Anyway, do a search for 2 gallon Accumulator tank, with wall mount, 1/2” NPT. That is the tank, you can buy the pre-particulate filter here as well. This is the pump that I use. Shurflo 2088-554-144Fresh Water Pump, 12 Volts, 3.5 Gallons Per...

I’ll bull a couple links together for you. very simple setup, works great, I had 25 trees In the hoop last summer, worked great. Keep a spare pump on hand in case you run your reservoir dry, ask how I know...

All you need to do is put a pressure tank on with your “RV” pressure pump. I use one with a 275 gallon tote at a remote off grid site for water/nutes. There is a particulate strainer before the pressure pump, the pump pressurizes a small pressure tank, 2 gallons I think, it then goes to...

I’ve been growing dwrc for the pas 10 years or so. I have a twelve 13 gallon grow sites. I trim my roots every week. I does no in harmful to the roots, in fact Current Culture recommends root trimming as a standard SOP for dwrc. All your doing is reaching into the reservoir and trimming...

Really? How many do you know? I feel imposed upon when you fuckers impose. All I want is for you fucks to leave me the fuck alone. Have at it douch bags, not on here to argue politics with a bunch of basement dwellers. Later dwellers...

Give it. Rest. The guy is asking a question. You have a answer? No, STFU!
