My buckets were remarkably clean tonight. 5 degrees in water temps makes a huge difference. 2 weeks have gone by which these pics are the end of 4 weeks of flower. I'll also need to look into a possible better method of attaching the suction cups to the bottoms of the buckets. Super glue seems to hold for a few weeks on a few and a little longer on the rest. I'll have to look at the underwater adhesive options. These tubing rings have been working wonderful it seems otherwise. New light should be here Tuesday...and it can't get here soon enough.

Why the need for suction cups and glue? Are your buckets cracked or something?

Stone-less dwc... So my air bubblers are made of air line turned into rings with 3 1/16 holes. To keep it at the bottom of the buckets, super glue is used in conjunction with aquarium suction cups that hold the air line in little clips. For the most part it works... Super glue doesn't like long term underwater usage, causing the occasional suction cup to free itself. I might be able to forgo the super glue all together but since I was originally following another members advice on the build, figured it would be best to heed the advice and super glue like he had.

Moved my clones into flower. So everything is now hugging like puzzle pieces. Even with the new light to support everything... I still feel like I need more lights, lbvs

I haven't been following this chart as closely as I might be able to, I have been using 2.5ml of each per gallon due to that nitrogen burn on the tips. So tonight I cut out the floragrow all together in the topping off of waters. That should decrease my nitrogen by 2 points per gallon. I increased my florabloom to 5ml per gallon. Due to the late bloom recommended amounts.

This last one is of the LA and had the lights on, I just didn't want to cycle the lights for one more photo. You can see this mutant leaf up close though, kinda cool looking.

Sat, may 16th - 5weeks of flower complete
I also noticed that my phs have stabilized. Glad the change to the feeding happened, wish I would have caught it sooner.

So the Mrs has been in/out of the hospital 3 times in 3 weeks. Hemoglobin is really low. Explains alot. Looks like some of those studies involved using ozone to treat anemia...so while I couldn't get that exact model(s)...I think I got a decent ozone generator that should be overnighted and here tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the Mrs. Hopefully the ozone generator does the trick. If she's going to be drinking ozonated water, make sure that the water is ice cold and that it gets drank within 20 minutes of ozonating otherwise the ozone will rapidly begin to dissipate. Since ozone is an oxidizer, she's going to need to balance her ozone intake with an antioxidant like vitamin C. I'm not very consistent in this practice but I make a point to not take any vitamin C tabs on a day when I drink ozonated water. I think it'd be a good idea for one of you to do a search on 'ozone water vitamin c' and see what you can come up with. Best of luck and keep me posted.

The show is really picking up on these. Ozone machine came in. Cautiously increasing usage with knowledge. Does ozone help in cannabis somehow or just for cleaning?

Ozone can be used in a DWC reservoir but I wouldn't dare do it without an ORP controller which limits the amount of gas that's introduced Too much and it can wreak havoc on the plants. If your set up will allow you to do so, you can also use it to combat odor. Here's a couple of good articles that'll help you make the most of your generator.
