A bit off topic, but this post aged like milk lol

Sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on your system. Honestly if it ain't broke don't fix it. If you are happy with your growth after 4 weeks veg you are doing something right, keep it up. The only thing concerning I see is the lack of sterilizer or bennies. You want to stay ahead of root...

If you like AN, that will work just fine. I’ve run 5-6 grows on just the trio alone. Maybe buy a second jug of bloom cuz you will run out of it first. Don’t fall for all the other shit AN tries to sell you, that shit is mostly junk. The base nutrients you linked are fine though.

You guys with a crazy edible tolerance should try mixing concentrates with MCT oil and throwing it in an eye dropper bottle. I made a batch of shatter once and crammed 2gs into 30ml of MCT oil. Around 60mg THC per mL of MCT oil, its pretty easy get the couch melt after 3-4mLs lol. Glad your...

I grew a few autos an hour north of Edmonton last year. Started them at the beginning of May, put them outside on May 24. Harvest was Aug 15 but I had to chop a couple weeks early due to bud rot/rain. The strain was lemon drop auto and I harvested around 4 oz per plant dry. It was my first try...

I do this kind of thing for a living so I’ve got a few thoughts: - They are likely replacing an old main with a new plastic main. The new plastic pipe won’t have any solvent glues to worry about, it uses a vegetable based grease (think crisco) on rubber gaskets and stainless clamps to hold it...

Damn! Oh well at least I only had to buy one for my set up. No leaks so far knock on wood.

Maybe where you are, we get fleeced on everything in Canada. I bought all my shit at a plumbing wholesale on a friend’s account so I could get his discount, and 2” bulkheads were still $35. I bought the beefy ones though similar to these...

I was confused since most net pots have netting all the way up to the brim, unlike the ones you linked. I like those better since the roots have to gro down. Perfect, thanks.

I knew I stole someone's idea of shower drains, but I couldn't remember who. I did shower drains in the bottom of 5 gallon buckets which worked out great. Like you say, its really easy to completely change all the water in the system. .Lots of surface area to seal to my buckets with aquarium...

What do you guys use for the little plastic collars that hold the neoprene cloning disks? I'm getting everything together to build one of these but that's the only thing im stumped on. I was gonna chop the bottoms off 2" net pots if need be.

Is it a metal garbage can you are storing your RO water in? RO water will leach the metals out of the can. That's why RO filters are all plastic and plastic tubing. I ran bleach as a sterilizer in my system and never had much luck. I think cheap bleach isn't the same as the pool shock some guys...

Blast em with 3 ml/gallon 30% peroxide every 2 days for a couple weeks, they'll come back, mine did.

I just throw egg shells in my compost heap then use the compost to fertilize all my plants. I eat about a dozen eggs a week and they seem to break down at a decent rate on a hot compost pile.

Damn I've got that same pump running only 4 air stones. Looks like I'm buying some more air stones tomorrow

You might be partially right on the air pruning, my water level is around 2.5” below the net pot. The net pot and all the hanging roots have always been wet from the splashing, but perhaps not wet enough. When I did regular DWC I would start the water level 1/2” under the pot and gradually lower...

Yeah Home Depot carries plastic pex fittings here in Canada. If you can’t find plastic pex fittings, you could use Uponor pipe and fittings. It’s actually a far better system where you expand the pipe on to the plastic fittings and then the plastic pipe’s memory shrinks it back in place. The...

When I ripped out all the brass fittings they were black with oxidation on the inside. The adapter that I had screwed in to the pump inside the rez was completely black inside and out. The plants have only been in the new improved system for 24 hrs and there is already a few long white roots...

I think you solved my problem. I looked up symptoms of copper toxicity and stunted growth is right at the top. There is a fair amount of brass in my system, I honestly didn't even think twice about it. I'll swap it all out to plastic and change my rez water and hope for the best. Thanks for...

Well things haven't really progressed much. I've got the clear slime/snot on the plant with the longer roots and the other plant's roots seem to have not grown much at all. I've cut off all the yellow/dead leaves that both plants had and most of the new greenery looks decent but not great. I...
