What's the longest time you can keep your res without topping off?

On another forum there is a discussion going on for how long you can work with the same res/nutes. Some say just a few days. Others claim they run it for a month. Of course it is depending on how large your reservoir is. But for discussions sake let's say it is huge. For how long do you guys think you can run it? And also please share some experiences or how you do it.

Ever notice... (bag seeds) soil to Hydro

Sometimes a seed germinated then planted in soil, sprouts, starts to struggle with vertical growth and node separation. Then You place that same plant in a hydro setup and it takes off... Leaves begin to expand. Growth becomes much more apparent. I usually have no problem starting any plant in soil but I run into difficult bag seed phenos here and there. I love the challenge of making that hard to grow plant vivacious. It usually ends up being super dank in the end too because I put so... Ever notice... (bag seeds) soil to Hydro

Those running a sterile system

Sorry another post but I'm having a hard time finding information on this subject. I'm using 50% calcium hypochlorite to sterilize my system. My understanding is a dosage of .10g per 10 gallons is 1ppm but that's not working for me. I premix the pool shock with water and then add that to my reservoir. Today I added 1tsp of hth which is roughly 4g and my total chlorine reached 5 finally but my free chlorine is maybe at 1. My system is as sparkeling clear as anyone could hope but there is a...

DIY ebb and flow bucket??? DIGITAL!!! HELP!!

Aqua hub plans do not work with DIGITAL TIMER??? Does anybody have the plans to build a control bucket with a TM619-2 5 pole digital timer? Neither aqua hubs or Ogres diy plans do work with this timer. There is a commercial Multi-flow bucket that uses this exact timer so i know it can be done. It actually uses a third outlet for an air pump which is nice. I have enough supplies to build 4 of these controllers. Im debating whether to just order 4 analog timers or purchase one brand new...

Pythium in my well water. H202 or Pool shock?

Hydroponics / Aeroponics Pythium in my well water. H202 or Pool shock? Tue, 19 Feb 2019 23:31:06 +0000 I've been growing non stop for the last 6 years in coco run to waste outdoor. Ive had great success without any problems. I recently moved to a rural area and the only water source I have is a well. The well water is infested with pythium, as soon as my sprouts emerge they get root rot and die, if I use bottled water they are fine, but as soon as I go to well water they drop with in a few day's. Ive used bennies like great white with no luck. Ive also read that the dose you would need to... Pythium in my well water. H202 or Pool shock? more info...

The stretch is a myth.. prove me wrong

Hydroponics / Aeroponics The stretch is a myth.. prove me wrong Mon, 18 Feb 2019 07:15:19 +0000 Total stretch 2 inches... Anyone else have that? Know why? All the horror stories I read but I never noticed anyone stating theirs didn't move in the 3 weeks... Some pics.. red line was pre flip.. besides that... Looks like I'll get at least 2 pounds off this one plant. Jokes aside I'm looking forward to seeing this fatten up, the node length is tiny which is why the stretch was small. more info...

The myth of Rockwool

Hydroponics / Aeroponics The myth of Rockwool Sat, 16 Feb 2019 07:48:11 +0000 Every time I setup for a batch I buy four 6-inch cubes of Rockwool and assure myself I am going to do it this time. HA! Rockwool, the place where plants go to die. Clones just sit for weeks until you decide to end their misery. Seeds pop up and look forward to 12 hour days and a little action but flop and rot at "ground" level. Washed clones started in soil beg to be terminated at the point where just one leaf is left like it was a bad guy escaping "upstairs" in a TV cop show. I have tried...

What net pots do y'all use?

Hydroponics / Aeroponics What net pots do y'all use? Tue, 05 Feb 2019 06:04:25 +0000 Hello all, What net pots do y'all use? I have been using the Poppelmann G5 net pot (2 inch) for several years now, but I cannot seem to find them and Poppelmann only sells them in cases of like 4,000, which would take me a few lifetimes to go through.

Drip was just easier with what I had laying around and how the pots fit into the tub. Thx more info...
