    Active Aqua VS Ecoplus water pump

    My thought on the micro spray jets is that the little red EZ cloner 360 jets work well if the pressure is high. Other than that, after having spent several days in a bathroom tub with a pump, a microjet manifold, and several bags of different types for spayer tips this is what I found: They...

    Help with ecoplus water chiller please!

    Use the correct size pump and your chiller should be able to cool the water as it requires surface interaction to transfer heat. You are trying to move the water through the chiller cool too fast. If you use a 186 gph via aqua pump your 1/10th hp ecoplus chiller should be optimized for most...

    DWC- ecoplus ecoair 8... any1 use this???

    Air movement is all about surface area and water temperature too. Get the water temps down below 70 degrees and you will dramatically increase O2 saturation levels in your H2O. You can pump it up until your blue in the face, but if your nutrients are over 75 degrees it will not even matter how...

    EcoPlus Commercial pumps: Any experience?

    These pumps are really good, and this is not too big IMHO for even a single five gallon clonner bucket setup. I used a cheaper version of this in a 50 watt unit. Your Air 5 is 80 watts. I would have actually loved to have doubled the air in my cloner bucket for sure. Lots of air movement is...

    Active Aqua VS Ecoplus water pump

    Go with the 1000 gph. You can always use the pressure to run more sites later, but upgrading with a smaller pump to start with will cost you more in the long run. The added pressure now is just going to make your spray jets function more reliably in the meantime. Note of caution with...

    For All Cap Ebb and Grow Users

    Nubby Tubbs, I built my own bucket cloner and it works just as good as any other system you can buy for a lot less. I also built a fogger cloner too, and that thing is great too. I took a black 3 gal bucket, put a 400 gal/min pump in the bottom with a 1/2" pvc manifold with red 360 degree...

    yellowing with brown spots...AGAIN

    Oh, you really should stop growing with soil and use something like sure to grow inserts to really assure you can help control this. The hydrogen peroxide is add to your nutrients too, and you can flush with it too, but it is not a long term solution. The flush with tap water will help in the...

    You have two infections: First you have a bad case of Septoria, mold that is in your glowing area and works it's way through the root system, to the stocks, and in to your leaves. They are expressed with black spots on the leaves as they spore for future infections to seed your home for all...

    Is this mg deficient?

    Try the epsome salt spay and also back off the amount of nutrients you are using and see if that helps. You might also want to measure the ppm. Keep in mind that this is also the early sign of Septoria infection and you should add H2O2 to nutrients too, also spay the plants with H202 (hydrogen...

    The crop is dying 7 weeks into flower. Harvest now or wait?

    You have a secondary infection of Septoria. This comes about after the weakening that occured with the fungus nats. The nats actually lay eggs at the stock of your plants. These eggs are found under a microscope in the upper portion of the root mass. They can cause root rot fungus to come...

    Well, if you want to really launch the THC, get yourself a germacidal bulb and really make some rocket fuel! Have you ever had 22.9 percent THC Super Lemon Haze from Green House Seed Co? I will bet they got those numbers confirmed for the Cup winning grow under VHO High Pressure Germicidal...

    how to avoid mold??

    Oh, if you want to buy a GE germicidal bulb you need to go to a wholesale electrical supplier who sells GE and do a cash sale. You will mostlikely have to order them as they tend not to keep these type of bulbs in stock. Call around and find the GE supplier in your area, you should be even...

    how to avoid mold??

    You can use a coper sulfate type spay in veg to kill mold. You can/should consider a UV germacidal light in grow room 10 min on 30 min off for three cycles per day. This will dramatically both increase potency and reduce the number of mold spores on plants and in growing area. Fans set to...

    Questions on Grow boxes

    Your surface area is 20 square feet. Then, you need to multiply by what ever the light density you wish to grow at. Example, many people use a 600 watt light for a 4x4 grow area. Many HPS bulbs put out about 89,000 lumens at 600 watts, so that equals roughly 5,500 lumens per square foot, or...

    Brown spots can/might be the start of a mold infestation. You may want to consider treating with a copper based spray, and/or burning some sulfur periodically. A little prevention goes a long way. If the leaves start to turn yellow later on, as the plant(s) get older, and you see what looks...
