Was it hard? I want to try it one day.
Making the CS takes a bit of study. reading is a must. Other then that it depends on you.

It costs a bit to buy the parts and silver. I recommend doing it right and have the equipment worth having and keeping.

But how to use it and such. Heck I am still learning.
There are politics involved too.

I see feminized as an end product. A quick way to grow some bud. Others see danger.

So wisdom and caution then. But read! I had to read and read and read.

Super interested in the Northern Skunk!!

Did you grow that from seeds?
Have you grown it before?
yeah. its from seed. i was going to grow it out this past grow. but had a few issues with it last time. l had a screen collapse on it and kill it. but got a few cuts still around of it. going to grow it out under the lights soon. maybe a week and then its into flower it goes. :)

had one cut that grew outdoors. put it outside when it was about 8 inches tall. flowered instantly. good yield for the size and lighting conditions. came out super frosty but never got to smoke it. forgot about it after i cut a bunch of plants and never finished watering them. lol

Looks to have good attributes
genetics
flower to leaf ratio
yield...to name a few. If I get extra money I might order some of those.

I had water circulation issues again yesterday and I heard the pump straining so I drained the system, again. I thought it was going to be Hydroton clogging up the pump intake again but there were no pieces to be found. I couldn't think of what could be clogging up the system and where it was clogged but I eventually thought to check the PVC tubes and sure enough the roots were clogging up the intake on two of the buckets. I have to figure out a filter that will keep the roots out but let dirt and other particulate through so that the buckets don't get clogged and overfill, again. Undercurrent is fun! :finger:

Pantyhose?

roots will still grow into and tangle thru them. they are crafty little bastards.
I agree but if the filter is set a few inches away from the PVC then it will still pass water through the sides. I think this may be good enough to prevent the PVC from clogging. I will have to test out a few different versions to find the suitable solution.

Excellent update Berkman858!

Those pictures have given me the most help!

I have a question does your Blue Dream smell or start out smelling like perfume?

Hey again nice save, bouncing back from the H2O2 nightmare. Not to be a smart ass, and I have not ever done RDWC but what about just going with larger dia. PVC? 3" or 4" ?

You could just pop it apart and run your whole fist through the pipes and clean em out that way.

I use Air Pots in soil but cover the bottom with land scape cloth. Would landscape cloth over your output pipes work?

It would still flow Alot of water but block the roots from migrating through the plumbing. :peace:
