There is a 60L tank under this tray and you can see the fountain at one end and the drain at the other where it falls and splashes. It seems to me that's plenty of oxygen and I'd rather not add bubblers but I got slime to form on the drain and pump (gross)... I'll clean again and rinse with H2O2...

ANYBODY? I read the first sticky post as cleaning infected equipment with the 35% He mentions a net pot but nothing about plants or medium... Is 10mL per gallon okay to run through an empty system (to clean it)

I almost lost this crop already. I went crazy on the cleaning but not good enough. I thought I'd prep my nutes in the freshly cleaned 60L tub and be ready for the yellow cotyledons. Ph 5.5 170ppm this morning I go down tonight and read 6.5 160ppm W T F a full point and there are no plants...

These are a couple of T5s..

I was doing every half hour, but pcducks words are echoing in my ear..the rooters look too wet, so I just changed to every 6hrs (thanks HP too) I also had the water rising half way up the rooter, now it just licks the bottom of the pot, and the rooter sits on the bottom of the pot (surrounded...

I have reviewed this thread yet again and I keep making the same mistakes that started in '16 I should have started them in dirt, I was good at that. Instead I've been playing with hydro. Please see the WEEK 1 thread nearby, I have to get out of this rut!

and another grow bites the dust... 8 BC big bud, a great start as usual but the thripps came back, then slimey roots,.... GONE! I have not had a successful grow IN YEARS. I manage to get a few plants to harvest but I suck at this. Seems I don't see a problem when it's staring me in the face. Me...

This is what's left of 8 BC big bud seeds that popped at least 2 weeks ago. The roots got slimey and i cut them off and cleaned the tub. I've also been battling thripps and sprayed these, the 2nd spray did them in i think (soap). Maybe the soap caused the slimey roots. In any case, I'm about...

18% surcharge to ship to ca but probably worth it, thanks

Overkill and pricey. Cartridges don't last more than a year or so and if you don't clean them, you can get some interesting bugs in yer gut, just read it somewhere, it does save a small fortune in those humidifier filtres though. And look what I found for the chloramine, internet drives me...

Well, thread says week one, here's my latest attempt, Nl5 x SK1, 8 seeded last week. No nutes until I see the cotyledons and then cal/meg too as part of the ppm total of 150-250? It goes in first as it's supplement, but are it's ppms part of grand total?

HA! I bought four small peppers. I went at them with one gentle spray of soap top and bottom followed by a rinse and they seemed okay but I went at them again the next day and I've lost 3 so far :-( Went over my room and eq to bottom disinfecting, sure will disheartening if I see one again...

Would you call the first true set, (cotyledons being pair1), the 3rd pair, the 5 pointers? In this pic, does it look like the plant is working on the 5 point leaf at the 3rd node? not my plant btw.... I haven't got that far in months!

City water is fine at 50-70 but I've been having trouble so I thought it might help. I also use it in my humidifier (instead of rip off filtres) and drink from a tap before the de-min cartridge. Then I find out we don't use chlorine and I don't like what I read about chloramine and plant life so...

Thanks duck, saves me having to read up and mess with buffers. Guess I better think about replacing filtres and cleaning the rig. I've since discovered my city water uses Chhorlamine instead of Chlorine. I read it's the carbon filtre that takes out the chlorine. If I use a chloromine filtre, do...

I ordered a couple of pumps to use for re-circulating and the pump had an air hose attached to it. I almost ignored it and then thought.... waaaaait a minute, and they work superbly, look at that bubbly fountain. At the other end, I cut the drain so the return water actually falls through the...

I can't. I suck at this, I'm lucky if 2 or 3 plants survive to harvest if i plant 10 or 12 seeds. I'm illegal as soon as 8 of my 10 reg seeds germinate. More than half will be males ( I stress them no doubt) I'm not legal until I have my 2 or 3 flowering plants. And meanwhile, I've started the...

If I don't aerate or flume, I 'll get a gross film on top in an open bucket, should it be capped only so PH settles otherwise, if it's bubbled, it might as well be in the rez, no? (small wonder I can't grow worth a damn)

Hey G13, (anybody:) quick question... Do youl mix your nutes 3 days before doing a reset? If so, how do you treat the mixture for the 3 days? closed lid, closed lid and bubbled, open lid fluted... I mixed too strong once so had some already mixed, tried to save it in a 5 gal bucket but film and...

hydro, rapid rooters in hydroton. I try to compare my seedlings to pictures and mine are pathetic slow growers in comparison. All kinds of lit about 'stages', but no definitive start date. I like the yel visual cue, and I'll use that as beginning week 1 re the nute schedule. Thanks
