Sounds like a float is off balance. Check to make sure they are level.Having trouble getting this unit to drain. I don't think it's an airlock issue, as the drain pump doesn't even turn on automatically. When I tap one of the floats (the highest one of the two at the bottom of the controller), it turns on and drains. Any suggestions?
She. I hope not many men would have a Hello Kitty avatar!!! The interference was a result of the digital ballast, though, and not the Ebb & Flow Controller. If you are having RF interference with a controller (weird?!), just wrap your pH meters power cord in aluminum foil. Or, those magnetic ferrites you can buy at Radio Shack will do the trick.Also shnkrmn: i read about the exact same thing on another thread on here were he had to hide his meter behind the Mylar in his grow room. i deffenitlay think it is an odd thing.

The problem you have is threefold.Frankly i'm surprised they're doing as good as they are. I've recently fixed that (3 days ago) and am flooding 4 times only during lights on. I've got 55 gals of rez water. I'm running hard water. I've kept the ph consistently between 5.8-6.2
I hope you perform sex better than you type.sorry bro i jus red u already now about ph n over fet prob so on n so try the quarter sulution stoned as feck hmm we can pull u trhou let us tinker brb onj u sorry again didnt see u relized symtoms i sed my bad shud read more b4 replying
bro do you know what thread you are on? this is the ebb and grow thread, he has clay pellets in a flood and drain system helloooo. all those issues stem from using GH 3 part nutes and over watering, just a simple cut back in flood times will do. plus using a fraction of GH's recomended dosages will result in plants looking like that. young plants get hit hard when using say 3ml of grow-micro-bloom. plus his lamps are 3 feet above the plants, plus he has nutrient salt biuld up, it builds very fast, i recommended a flush every month but to be honest with this stuff once every 2weeks. this is why i recommneded he try the lucas formula, this formula has all the nutrients in correct rates and balanced almost perfectly for an average plant. salts will cause his "rootzone PH" to be different than the rez locking out nutrients. as for humidty he never listed it but as the plants get larger it will rise, for the next 10 days he can be at like 20% RH and be just fine. i dont want to sound like a dick tenbob but instead of just looking at the pictures and throwing out some advice you need to read his post dudehey tenbob bak am with a mate n he says ur over watering might be lack of drainage in pots also heres a link for a deficicy table cause summat wrong here raise ur light a bit n cool the bulb they need moister to the leaves but not the roots https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/304649-marijuana-deficiency-table-report.html i ere bro 2 elp add sum respect
Pretty much every jug of goods from Humboldt is extremely potent product and very thick. The only ones that are watery-thin and clear are those from their Grow/Micro/Bloom line.kitty, i just took a look at your grow and i gotta say the rasta joint is bonkers. i need to know one thing, i run a few rooms and i swear by botanicares PBP line, i wanted to do a comparison using humboldts line, i was online all day lookin g the thier lineup and its so confusing. i would like to know how long you have been using it, how you like it, is it soft like PBP or can you burn plants easily and which products do you run? im so lost they have ginormous, big up and 22. organics dont matter to me but i hate salty synthetic nutes. i dont mind using complicated nutrients either, i am not sure which one to use for the base as there is 3 options, but i would most likely if i didnt know better, sea-cal,sea-mag, honey ginormous of rearly to mid flower and big up for late flower, does that sound right? i do not know anyone personally who runs this stuff and the few people on forums who i have seen use it say its good but they dont even know why its good, wannabee weed barons ya know?
Lucas himself says not to use the Lucas Formula for vegging too! Just stick to the bottle for that one is all if you use the same line of nutrients is what he recommends.Morris, I think they're tippin a few. I do Lucas (not literally). The general consensus is that Lucas isn't so hot in veg and if using GH go Ratio: 1:1;1 G/M/B EC .9 early veg and Ratio 3:2:1 with 1.9 EC Full Veg, in other words GH's general schedule on the label. Than go Lucas @ 12/12. I found Sensi A/B beats Lucas veg to death. I run about [email protected] conv pretty well with it, (even with the urea). Lucas though is great and I was thinking of using the same technique with Botanicare cns17 coco line.Have you had experience with it or just PBP?
The RO water will help you be better able to determine the nutrient levels since RO water is close to 0 ppm. Its a smart move if your tap water sucks. (Mine is 40ppm tap water, very fortunate here, so no RO).What i'm still generally unsure about is the nute amounts and how i should keep track of them and re-up them. I just purchased a TDS meter which has an adjustable EC conversion currently set at .71.
I found this ask lucas thread: http://www.cannabis-world.org/cw/showthread.php?t=892&page=2
I'm tempted to follow this lucas guys instructions because he seems to know his shit and this thread has some of the most well put and accurate/consistent info i've found. I'm just a little confused with the 0-8-16 idea. Does that mean to say 8 ml of micro per gallon and 16 ml per gallon? If so that seems very excessive, as i've just been running 2.5, 2.5., .6 and the plants are shitting themselves. I must be wrong in thinking so, if i am what does it mean then? I think i just dont understand nutrients, ppm, and ec in general. Can someone point me to a thread or something that clearly and simply defines how it all works?
I know that i'd like to start just topping off with ro water every day whilst adding more nutrients to create the right ppm of around 1400 (as lucas suggests) when needed. Seems logical to me, perhaps a bit complicated but understandable if i need to go that way. I can only access RO water by filling up 3 gallon containers ( i have 4) at the safeway 5 minutes away, so it'd be easier if i didnt have to flush frequently. Perhaps every 2 weeks or longer is tolerable.
Pretty sure the RO will clear it all up though, pretty confident on that.
Yup, thanks guys. much love, keep the feedback rolling, loving it.
\Does this help clarify it? If not, let us know!
The main phylosophy in Lucas IMO is ease of use and no REQUIRED use of sups. If you have extra hard water than he states to use Hard water Micro. Funny how Lucas is like some biblical reference or something.Remember when you change to RO water you MUST use a Calcium and Magnesium suppliment.
Disagree : Lucas has stated that all values are in reference to using RO water. That is why he eliminated the grow with bloom: Bloom has 1.5% Mg and Micro has 5% Calcium.
