Its all right to like or not like trump and its all right to tease him some..
Taco bell did.
They said there food is so authentic, trumps wants to build a wall around it!
:)

Trump just may make history with NK... but I doubt it, unless he thinks Trump is just crazy enough to nuke his ass. Which he might be! No one knows.. That makes him unpredictable... and dangerous.

I thought Trump was a goof ball and yet he is making some great progress. I might have under estimated him..

Update for tonight:

DWC with HBSS #1: got more roots ...
- ph was 5.8 earlier today its still 5.8
- ppm was at 520 and still 520
- water temp at 69

Water Farm with HBSS #2: now we got roots out the bottom!!!
- ph adjusted to 5.5 this morning and now at 5.8
- ppm was at 560 and now its at 610
- water temp at 69

Edit: oh, and water levels in both are down about 1-2” / 3-4”. Add water? Plain distilled? ph distilled?? And no nutes I assume ..

like homie said
just add back water only and make sure ph is stable once added
the reason why #2 ppms are going up is water is depleting but the ppms remain
meaning it is becoming concentrated
once the plant starts eating the ppms will drop

Yup - just biding my time ... worst that can happen is I have to start over, and I got plenty of seeds and more on the way (Double Grape and Sour Livers, plus whatever freebies Mephisto Genetics will gift me :-) )

Morning peeps!

Added the water - #1 took 1/2 gallon and #2 took 1/4 gallon and the ppms dropped in both by roughly 100, but ph didnt change from that. The ph in #1 is still sitting at 5.8 so that really seems to have stabilized ... and even #2 only crept up to 5.8 after 12 hours so maybe that’s starting to stabilize too.

Hubby’s opinion is the water that was going from the drip ring, through the hydroton, and back into the water is what was causing most of the fluctuations (he had an aquarium for years so undrstands the basics). And TBH, it makes sense; so now that I have roots coming out of that bucket and no longer need the drip ring, my suspicion is that it will further stabilize :-)

Sounds like your getting there, next hurdle will be res temps as it gets warmer there. It will be interesting to see how the life works, don’t throw the hydroguard away lol.

Take that shit to the politics section where I can debate that “great” progress lol. And I do pay for the wall, I pay taxes for a condo I get pics of periodically from the ex (ya it hurts lol) and pretty sure taxes are going to pay lol.

Actually, I’m hoping temps won’t get too bad; I keep my home around 68 year round. If it gets bad enough though, I’ll just run a length if duct from the intake hole on the tent to the AC vent for the bedroom (whopping total of maybe 4 feet lol).

Yeah, politics and religion are non-talking points in my home due to hubby and I being on vastly opposite ends of the spectrums!

I was more referring to res temps which is a struggle for most DWC grows but with the proper beanies you may be able to maintain a healthy root zone. I did it but it was always on the verge of a epic fail lol. I finally built a chiller to keep things consistent, never looked back. With a flooded root setup I always recommend a chiller of some sorts, but like I said, lots do without, but lots fail :(.

Well if res temps fluctuate based on the ambient air temps, keeping the tent cool should help that ... I would ASSume ;-) ... and I would hope

Well to a point yes but the added heat from air pump will raise temps and I like to keep ambient temps a bit higher than res temps, I keep room at 75-78 and my res is maintained at 66-67. Again not saying it can’t be done but after doing with out for many years it was a great addition and in the scheme of things, relatively cheap. Used aquarium chillers are a all over the place. If you haven’t learned yet, hydro is like a boat, feeding it cash (although smaller amounts) never ends, but unlike a boat your basically growing cash lol.

Can you give a link for an aquarium chiller? I just peeked on amazon and saw like 5 VASTLY different things and - being the newb that I am - am clueless as to what to even consider!

No I can’t suggest one particular make but either titanium or coopernickle heat exchanger would be crucial if getting one. A very small one if your only going to run 2 plants. There are some great sizing appps if you google chiller sizing for a grow room. Sizing is pretty important and bigger is not better as it will short cycle, a bad thing. Here is my DIY one that does, at the moment, 75 gallons and short cycles lol.E5ECBF04-5F98-40EF-B116-48803E3B4567.jpeg79512C09-B506-4BE4-A25F-AC9CBCD8C006.jpeg

Oh, also just wanted to mention the pump for my stones is outside the tent. A bit noisy, but its kinda white noise so its not keeping us up at night lol* .. I think keeping it outside the tent is also keeping my tent temps steady

It does yes, every bit helps. I also have a 250’ copper loop buried with glycol circulating with heat exchangers for the cooler months which cuts costs FA2A0834-1F4F-433E-8791-C20FA31C274B.jpeg
