STAT Flush!!

here's one for ya, ever stare at them long enough to actually see them grow? garden meditation

Distilled water lacks Calcium, and calcium enables the uptake of other nutrients (sidenote: does the same thing in humans). To me it looks like a Cal deficiency that in turn made other nutrients unavailable with the result being an unbalanced mix, which could give you some pretty crazy ph swings...

It's amazing how many different techniques people use to clone. There's a great guide at growweedeasy that gets you rooted clones in 10 days, and it works in rockwool. Careful on the rockwool drying out, biggest problem using that stuff, water the tray not the top of the cubes.

I switch between the two Phillips cmh, 3100/4200 for veg/flower and everything ends up frosty and dense.

I did a food coloring test in plain water with the 250gph pump after everything was set up. Within 5min. there was color in every bucket, and it took 30min. for all of the water to be a uniform color throughout the buckets and res. 30min. goes by pretty quick for me in the garden, it's mostly...

2 or 3 returns and I think you'll be fine. Please post results if you try it that way, I would love to use smaller lines. I think the size of the pump is going to be a key factor. The water is only going to move through the return lines at a certain speed because it isn't being pushed by a...

I was quoting the op's question about what size he was going to use for his "reverse" system. Moving the water the other direction lets you use smaller lines because you don't have to worry about roots clogging anything. The most important thing to consider with that is pump size. I completely...

I'd say that a 1/2" supply with 1"return might work, but you wouldn't want a strong pump because the water returning moves slower.

Yes, if the pump isn't on the water level will eventually be the same in all containers. I do have to keep at least 2" of water in the res for the pump to pull from, but that's around 8 gallons or so less than full so I really don't let it get that empty unless it's almost time for a res change...

I'm running this right now without issues. Water fed into bottom of buckets from 1" tubing, and gravity brings it back to the rez through 1.5" pvc pipe. I use a 250gph inline pump and the water level in the buckets is constant. I fill the whole system with 25 gallons at rez change and can lose...

I gotta think the tap water is at the root of what's going on here. The nutrients you're using suggest starting with 0-20ppm water and that's probably what the ppm's on the feed chart are going by. Some feed charts give exaggerated amounts just to sell more jugs, but I think the recipe these...

Venus, I gotta say, I really enjoy you're pictures here even though they occasionally make me forget what I'm doing. It's like when you take a big rip of some ultra tasty weed and just want to hold it in like " Damn.... that's nice!":hump:

Question: You're using tap water that comes out at 150 ppm, Cal-Mag'ing it to 200 ppm, and then adding 70 ppm of nutrients? Did I get that right?

That's where it gets tricky. I've run that size tote with one plant and air stones so I can say that your ph and ppm might stay close to where you want them for a little while. The problem with only checking that often is that stuff can go wrong and escalate quickly with hydroponics. You might...

Just a heads up, those 27gal HDX totes only actually hold about 18-20 gal safely. Possibly less depending on the depth of your netpot. But yes, you totally can.

I'm calling that 22 oz. trimmed/dry weight. You've improved your space ALOT since first post snail, well done. You've got the start of a really good room and you've found a place for solid advice, good things man.

I've got a 4x4 that I've got some super frosty results from with a 630 cmh. I was fortunate enough to have someone who knows share their knowledge of spectrum/results with me so next run I do I'm going to try a 630 cmh veg (4200 Phillips bulbs), 1000w hps Flower (progressively dimmed) and...

I'm high as fuck, and your ass is next level amazing! Stoner babes are just hotter anyway......but damn!
