    Thoughts On Recirculation Methods

    I have had good luck using risers in the bucket to keep the water level where you want. The water gets pumped in the bottom and drains back to the sump at the level of the risers. Just have to place the res lower than the buckets. This gives you good natural aeration and I put an airstone in...

    recirculating DWC under 400W MH

    Each bucket circulates back to one of the two sumps. The MH is cooled by a 6in inline fan. The stuff around the table are herbs, garlic, lettuce, and potatoes(in the recycled cat littler bucket). Let me know what you think or if you have any questions on DWC. I have had success with this method...

    still dont know what to do!

    Maybe, the 4x4 rockwool has been holding moisture well, the only showing problems when transferred into the rockwool. I'm using floranova at 400ppm with 1/8tsp/gal Epson salt. 70f 45%Rh 14/10 under 400w mh. I've been watering every other day. Thanks for taking the time

    First Time Poster Looking for a electrician for help with Load center Diagram!!!

    Safest way, run a proper cord from main load center with a two pole breaker to make a second breaker box in the room of your choice and then you can use your original diagram with numerous 220 and 110 runs with associated current trips.

    I would not recommend tapping off of the heater. By putting in a larger breaker you negate its inherit safety.

I added a 1/4tsp per gal of epson salt to solution and raised ph to try and combat it. the plants are looking better today ill upload some pics. Masp84, if u do...

    new and confused...nute burn? or mg def?...something else?

    I'll keep adjusting the ph. My cubes don't seem to be drying out hardly, common sense would say to not feed/water until its less saturated is this correct?

    pulling air through my lights messing up light distribution

    The deformation of the ventilation is due to a vacuum in the ducting caused by flow restrictions. Depending on your setup, place the fan at the intake so it pushes air and problem solved.

    The leaves have been turning up toward the light (closing up almost) toward the end of the light cycle each day. I have just fed them once a day for 3 days since putting them in the hydroton.
