    Hpa pump life AQUATEC CDP 8800 high flow booster pump

    Thanks for the great info and quick reply. I'm using dwc right now and am having issues with root rot so I was recently looking into flood and drain. Looks much easier and less chance of root rot? How does growth and yields of flood and drain compare to dwc in your opinion? If close or equal...

    Hpa pump life AQUATEC CDP 8800 high flow booster pump

    I bought a AQUATEC CDP 8800 high flow booster pump to run a hpa setup. If a hpa only runs every 5 minutes for 5 seconds why is a accumulator recommended? That doesn't seem like it would be taxing for this pump. The pump is only a hundred bucks and if I can get a grow out of one it would be...

    RDwc problems

    Just ordered a 16 oz bottle of Southern AG Garden Friendly Fugicide and I'll report if it works. I also raised the level of the water half way up the pots and the plants seem to be doing better and the roots look better already. I'm thinking the roots might of been dying because they were...

    Shed winter ventilation

    Thanks What do you think about running vented 1k watt fixtures without the glass? You think that would pull out enough heat and pull in enough makeup air? Since you have alot of experience with hps what do you recommend for de 1000 fixtures? Are gavitas the only way to go or will I get decent...

    Shed winter ventilation

    Thanks for your advice. Do you know how much heat cobs put out compared to hps? In the summer I might switch over to leds

    Shed winter ventilation

    It was recently sprayed with closed cell foam so its extremely tight. So you don't think sealing the room and using c02 for veg and flowering would be more efficient? Now that I think about it I'm probably using the mini split to heat if I'm using the leds or using the heat of the hps lights so...

    PPFD on 800 watt 301b bar led

    Whats the aproximate max PPFD can be? The light i'm looking at has max levels of 1565 PPFD in the center 2x2 area hung at 6"s off the canopy. Can leds be placed this close or will they damage the plant? I'm wondering if I should go for the 640 watt model instead for my 5x5 or just get the 800...

    Manifolding clones?

    I'm about to start a grow using some Mt Clean clones I have from my friend. I'm in a 9x9x10 room but am legally limited to 6 flowering plants. I'm looking to optimize this space for maximum yield so I was looking into manifolding to hopefully fill out this space. The clones were taken on lower...

    Modified Rdwc

    I just built a rdwc waterfall system with 18 gallon resovoirs and was wondering if anyone knows if there's any benefit to adding soaking rings above the net pots or adding high pressure sprayers inside the resovoirs? Will this increase growth rates or yeild? Thanks David
