REEVES lol they make both bro not just autos..lol..This whas a photo period grow not auto..
I use a HM Digital ppm tester. Cost 15 bucks and goes up to 9990 ppmHi !
Does anyone have a clue which PPM scale is used by Scotty ? There is one by Hanna, EuTech and Truncheon which are quite far apart for higher nute levels.
cheers,

I use a HM Digital ppm tester. Cost 15 bucks and goes up to 9990 ppm
It's only 15 bucks because all it does is measure ppm's their more expensive testers have more bells and whistles.remember you get what you pay for with meters trust me im never ever skimpin on a meter again. Heres what i use, Its HM as well http://www.pasadenahydroponics.com/hm-digital-waterproof-ec-tds-temp-combo-meter-com-100/
However that being said i've had very good luck with my HM so far but it did not cost 15$ nor would i ever buy another tester any where near that price range. Out of curiosity though how is their 15$ tester workin i went with the 70$ ppm tester gettin my HM ph tester here in a few more days my 3 way chinese pos from ebay shit on me massively so i've been buyin new testers lately.
Im just gun shy about cheap testers now
Only someone who has done that can answer the question, I'm not sure if scottyballs has. I haven't seen him post here in a couple months. Personally I'd just spend the $60 USD and get a waterfarm complete kit and drop 10 bucks on a better air pump and 5 bucks on a 5" airstoneDo any of you know where Scottyballz is hanging out now days? He was supposed to have a new thread up lil while ago...If not i was wondering if any of you could answer this question i see great results here using waterfarm style can you get just as good a results using DWC in 5 Gallon buckets with very good pump stone and aireation..and the scrog technique?
Great answer... I learned a few things right there about the waterfarm that I never really thought about before...cool.Only someone who has done that can answer the question, I'm not sure if scottyballs has.

However to my understanding with the waterfarm. Initially the drip ring is a form of bubbleponics and helps with early vegetative growth whereas with DWC it really goes great for growth once the roots reach the water. So when adding an airstone to the waterfarm you're combining bubbleponics with deep water culture. So in a sense or at least to my understanding once the roots reach the res in a waterfarm the drip ring isn't necessarily needed. So I would assume you could have great results with DWC and i'm sure plenty have but I'm not sure how fast it would grow in comparison to waterfarm in early seedling/veg growth.
Carfull here the drip ring dose alot more then you might think.. bubble wands in the bottom of the rez will not produce as much oxygen then a system using a drip ring.. The oxygen produced in DWC mostly comes from agitating the surface layer of the water where 95% of O2 is picked up the bubbles dont do much in the water itself.. with a drip ring its going to cycle the entire resivor about every 30 mins to one hour depending on size of air pump.. now that said back to how O2 gets into the water the surface layer.. all the water that drips over the hydroton is 100% surface layer water and cycles 24/7 wich will increase O2 of the water over DWC.Great answer...

TY for the feed back bro may just do it the right way and save face and trial and error!Only someone who has done that can answer the question, I'm not sure if scottyballs has.

Right on Scottyballz, and thanks for the clarification on the matter....Carfull here the drip ring dose alot more then you might think.. bubble wands in the bottom of the rez will not produce as much oxygen then a system using a drip ring..

wasn't the cmh that got it, also waterfarm and scrog screen.Awsome grow man. Very impressed. I am using a CMH for the first time also, hope mine turns out as good as urs.
So you got 15o from a 400w cmh if I read correctly?
600w, waterfarm, scrog and a bottle of Nova Bloom is about as guaranteed to a pound as you can get. Unless you just completely fuck it up.yep waterfarm and scrog are very important parts of my arsenal now lol, its about the cheapest way to get a pound with hydroponics i know of. Get a fan a 600w hps (you can do it on a 400 but lets make it easy we are not all scotty lol) some fans and a waterfarm some panda film and your good to go.
