    Pool shock/ nutrient adding order

    Ya I believe it reacts with the nutes. I’ve tested a res at 2ppm after nutes added and it shows 0ppm. Maybe the chlorine is still active but I’m thinking not. I tried it. Not very successful. YMMV.

    Add the Cl first. N will neutralize it.

    Safest automated watering system

    You will want your room temp higher than 20. Especially if you run led. Your pathogens are most likely in your water. I have not found the silver bullet. But sterile treatments or benny's is the go to.

    AK Bean Brains

    Ya bro. I measure light. Just a cheep Lux meter but it gives good reference. I think I was at 15000 or so. May have just increased to fast. They quit praying Probly was in combination with overwatering. Thanks for your genuine concern.

    AK Bean Brains

    Chockalope. Tossed a couple in the flower room today. May veg these for a few more days. They don’t want to show sex. Had a bit too much light on them, stalled out and quit drinking.

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    If you successfully calibrate your pen with 4 and 7 and your solution isn't old you should be good. It can go bad. I use drops for a second test if I think it's needed.

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Next round you could always put a cut off plastic cup, sunk a bit around the base of the plant deflecting spray so it keeps the bottom of the stock dry. That root picknlooks great. I can’t see any harm filling from the top. As your thinking more 02 with the top watering.

    Sealed vs vented electric cost

    If you can find a good used air to air heat exchanger it will recycle some of your lost heat to the fresh air commimg in. I use a temp+RH controller on the air to air and the same on the dehu. If it’s cold in the room the dehu runs. If warm the air to air runs. I bring in outsid air so it can...

    Dehum vs AC (for drying, which is #1?)

    If you need to cool as well as lower RH use ac. If you need to heat and lower RH use dehu. As it generates heat. You shouldnt need to run both. One or the other. You could use a temperature coltroller to do the switching back and forth like an inkbird.

    Recirculating, Top Feed Coco, DIY Hydro

    Flood and drain back to res works fine with coco. I did a greenhouse grow. Used a 25 gal res 3 plants 3 gal containers. Ran 400 ppm. All grow. Mind you it was hot and dry like 110f hot. Dumped the last few gallons out of the res and refilled. Took about 4 or so days to drain new res. Ppm stayed...

    PPM and EC discussion

    Sorry i should have included if your "ppm" is rising.you can let it rise to a point. But after that point you will run into over fertilizing issues.

    HPA trials

    A little something new I have been dabbling with. I guess you would call it HPA. Probly has a bit too many larger droplets to be true HPA but it is what it is for now. I’m just running the small res. Pump and 4 misters. Currently it mists for 0.3 seconds every 5 min. So far so good. Roots are...

    Megacrop

    You must have one of the older versions? The 2 part you can’t really tell there is anything in the water. Dissolves totally with a bit of stirring.

    Greenhouse light dep motor wiring question

    Dep motors have stop switches built in. You need 24V DC power supply, a double pole double throw relay to switch the dc from +- to -+. And a timer. Or you can spend big bucks on a already built one.
