I fill the tote with ten gallons which isnt full but keeps the level a cpl inches below the net pots so prbly a twelve to 14 gal tote. I was thinking about buying a second tote same size and mixing the nutes in it a day or two before switching so they have time to settle and ph stabilizes and then just slide the old one out and the fresh one in. im looking online but dont wanna order it know of a place that sells the mesh nets in stores?

thanks for all the help btw.
Goggle Hydroponics and your zip code, you'll be surprised what you find, I found one less than a mile from my house.

ohh I have my hydro store and its ten minutes away i've just never seen anything net wise in there. Home depot has what looks like a pretty decent net to use for scrog. Probably give em another ten days or so and put the net over the top. my only question is once I start flowering I don't bend anymore and just let the tips grow up towards the light correct?

What kind of experiments ? seems interesting
the one in the front with a white lid has been lst'ed, supercropped, fim'ed and topped. crazy but shes lovin it. the tote on the side are all clones directly put into flowering without any topping. one of which when i cut the clones, i made a long angle cut on two of them, scraped the sides and put in the same cup touching each other. they bonded there roots together and is now growing as one plant with two stalks. like topping, but with double strength. there are two in the back that had a major problem with water and i neglected to see that the roots were no longer touching the water. they almost died and the roots dried up to black. somehow i managed to keep them going and they grew out new roots from the bottom of the old ones. the leaves are almost all gone, but the buds keep going-idk ill have to wait and see.

god damn dr jekyll lol. you should try bonding two plants that are diff strains to see what happens

Real quick do you think a twelve inch sandstone bubble bar with a regular air pump is enough or should i add another stone with a more powerful pump? wanna make sure the roots have enough oxygen getting to em. Didn't have a prob with the roots growing into the res of my waterfarm with no bubble bar but idk about this one. any insight?

WTF there is the beginnings of slime in my reservoir I dont know how because there isn't any light getting in there. does anybody know how much hydrogen peroxide to add to a ten gallon reservoir? about to clean it out.

I wouldn't use peroxide and everyone is gonna tell you to use H2O2 but if you take a cup with a little bit of water in it and then take a little bit of bleach. Like 8 drops per pallon or about an 1/8 of a cup of bleach and pour it in your rez you will notice the slime is gone shortly after. I have washed several homes and roofs and the plants would be soaked with bleachy water and never had any issues with plants dying from this. I topped mine at an early stage and kinda wish that I had not topped them. For a regular grow it is fine but for a scrog once it hits the screen the same hormones take over from the sideways branching as it does with LST. That is just my opinion though. And as far as the airstone. Once you get into flowering if your roots are strong and healthy (which mine are not..lol) then the bubbles will have to work harder to stir and oxygenate the water at the top. So whatever extra bubbles and air pressure you can get. I would think would only benefit them.And also you might wanna try covering the lid of the rez. The light could be seeping thru it and it can seep thru hydroton. Put some covers over them to prevent the light from getting thru.

i hope all goes well and am subed to this for one reason. i ordered ww from nirvana, grew them out, seemed to grow too easily just with a nitrogen issue and cured the hell outta them. potency was medium, i would guess around 8-12% kinda like big bud. takes a joint to get me high. since then i switched companies and we will see. prev grows were rasberry cough outta bagseed, turned out very indica but soothing. other was g-13 through friend-they died and kinda acted like reg. the best grow i have done---green crack-bagseed. i seem to find that my best way to get strains is through my other growers who get there seeds from big time dealers. currently they gave me hindu kush, headband, bubblegum and super lemon haze. they claim that there dealers have medical connections and get them from amsterdam...id love to try to find out, but $150-400 for a pack of seeds....no thanks, ill stick to cloning.
you ever tried attitude seedbank? they got every strain ever for sale their. and most of the seed breeders on their site arent selling packs of seeds for 150-400 dollars. i paid 90 dollars for 10 female seeds. its worth it if you ask me. especially with the free seeds with ur order.

What are your rez water temps?
not sure exactly but they were alil on the warm side. started rotating frozen gatorade bottles to keep the temps down in the res. I know ideally it should be in the high fifties right? and im going to buy some reflective ducting tape and cover the lid and sids with to keep that light down. going to buy two five inch round air stones and another pump as well set one stone on each side just so that I am doubly sure theres plenty of o2.
