I dont know what the size my pump is, I got it from a fish store for 10.00 it has two ports. I have 2 air stones in there one is 4" and the other is a plastic one with tiny holes that create bubbles. I didnt pay attention to what the pump size is cause I went for price. I never really got the proper stuff to grow in Hydro, just tried to use basic stuff like starting them in Foldgers Coffee Containers. After I am done with this grow I am going to have a legit DWC grow set up with all the proper equipment. I dont check PPMs or Res Temps but I will for the next one. I just wanted to se if I could grow in bubbles and I think I am ready to go with a full time dwc grow. I am looking forward to itm although I prefer smoking stuff grown in dirt but Hydro has its advantages as well. It the ever so long debate of Soil vs Hydro.

I am going to bed now, I am dead tired. Have a good night all.

Peace

BKB i think you read your plants better than any ppm ph meter could. if you havent been checking you are very connected to the plants. i think its better to listen to your plants than some nute companys feed chart. with you its all about the love, with them it all about a buck... jmo
great gardening skills bro!!!...

edit i put ph in the first sentance. that was wrong... no one can read/feel ph without meter n its key to nute uptake. feeding yes ph no...

4tatude.. I agree with feeding by feel.. its far better then a chart.. but as for knowing ppm and ph.... do not agree at all.. you can get lucky.. maybe your water is in the proper ph range by luck.. but there is no way to FEEL for ph.. and when it goes wrong.. it does not matter how much you feel your plant needs... whatever nute. Because it wont be available if your ph is out of range.

very true alotaball, the ph is key.. even tho i do check ph n ppms regular i feed with what i think the plant tells me it needs not what the charts say. dont get me wrong,the charts are a good base to go off of but if you are tuned into your grow you know which way to tweek things for that particular plant/grow.

I get you 4tatude.. I completely agree with that part bro.. .you can tell personally with some experience what your girls need... way better then some generic chart.. plus they always advise more then you need imo because they prob want to sell more lol

I understood you 4T have you been sampling that SD lately???? LOL

Alot, hows the lady doing...any additions to the fam yet??? Good Luck bro!!!

I do check pH always I just dont do PPM for how much nutes and I dont have res temps. My pH testing kit is one from a pet store with the drop tester. I pH water for soil grows too so I am pretty good with pH. I would love to have one of those nice digital meters but I dont have that kind of money. Less is always better IMO!

@chb Thanks!!!
Peace

ya in soil you have some buffers that help as well.. but you can get a OK digi meter for less then 20 bucks. .. PPM isnt as important to me as ph.. ..you can tell visually if your girls are underfed or overfed but.. as for the ph .. no way to tell :)

BKB.. no baby yet.. anyday now.. she was having contractions for a couple hours the other night but then they stopped so we will see .. im thinking sometime this week... :). Man its gonna be hard having a daughter and teaching her not to talk to guys like me when she grows up lol...My 3 year old is all excited.. keeps saying he cant wait to take his sister to the park lol.. Phucking kids!

BTW .. you shyt is looking great... save me a sample.. I wanna try it on my next trip south.. ill bring ya something too :)
