"Yeah, after so many OG grows, I'm pretty used to a little PM.

See, there's that sulfur burning thing again. I'm afraid of burning things... to make hash or raise co2 levels or control PM. Fire bad, fire bad.

I think I'll stick to Serenade. Not only does it clear away PM instantly, the plants seem to spring up with health after they get sprayed with it. It's mostly water with a tiny percentage of good bacteria that eats fungus and mildew and kills bugs... but I think there's something else in there that the plants really like. It's a good foliar spray in addition to disease control."

It's that bacilus subtilis strain of good bacteria in the Serenade. I've noticed similar results (plant 'upspring') after applying Heisenberg's tea formula via foilar, which I find also works as a control for PM. just the presence of the bacilus bacteria helps keep the plant and buds healthy and even scares away bud worms/caterpillars/moths/butterfiles. they hate it! plus the half-life on that bacteria is short so it dissipates within a matter of hours making it safe for consumption.

for those who don't know the formula, here is the link:

Thanks for reminding me that this is about pot-growing, not Charlize Theron's breasts.

I recall stating in an earlier post that oxygen is dissolved into the res solution by the action of the bubbles. While this is partially true, it's not occurring under the surface of the water, but through the agitation at surface. And the greater the surface area of your water, the more oxygen will dissolve into the res.

Kinda makes you wonder about DWC buckets with an air stone in it.

Yes in fact air stones give very little DO to the res solution. The plants get more of an effect from it by the bubbles popping against the roots. As you said surface agitation is where it all comes from. This is why we see such awesome root growth in UC systems, because the pumped return is splashing down into the primary rez. I've also seen studies where a 12" freefall of water into the rez will create a similar DO rate just through exposure to the surrounding air during freefall.

That's interesting and makes complete sense... making clearer the concept of UC as well. Yeah, it's the waterfall and the current infusing the water with oxy, not the bubbles.

For the longest time I had the incorrect idea that it was the bubbles themselves. So those micro airstones are hogwash. It turns out it's the large surface area of my res being agitated by the bubbles along with the constant waterfall drip of my sprayers (and the chiller return line) that makes my plants grow. Not the air in the bubbles themselves.

I know what you must be thinking. "Where is Jessica Biel's butt in all of this?"

Fear not, I leave no stone unturned. Her butt is here. In my journal. Where it belongs.









Is that Katie Holmes back there? She looks gross.

The moral of this story? Man does not live by breasts alone. Hear that, Katy Perry?

Lol'd when I saw the title of the update. Tahoe's lookin' mighty sexy, can't get enough of it. I like Tahoe, it behaves pretty uniquely it seems and it sounds kind of rare and magical in a subdued way being named after that location. A plant with personality, what a cool grow.

Still planning my own cab cannabis cultivating campaign, and I've been thinking about this....Is it plausible to do just plain old DWC as opposed to a spray design (bubbleponics) for 2 or 3 plants in one large reservoir? Or are separate buckets the better idea? Because electricity costs are going to be a big factor in maintaining stealth for me and cutting costs is always good, so not getting a water pump for a spray system would save me there (also isn't a submersible water pump noisy and doesn't it raise your res. temp.?), but is it worth it to cut that cost for one large reservoir? One reservoir would mean you only have one to maintain and change and PPM and PH would be more easily balanced in a larger body of solution right? Also, wouldn't a cooler serve as a reservoir better than a tote, being insulated and having UV blocking designs and even anti-microbial linings and drains? I suppose it doesn't matter in your system though with the external res and chiller, which I don't think I can swing for the record. You say your bill is pretty high with this setup, yeah? Mine will probably turn out a lesser edition of yours, unfortunately, but hopefully that won't restrict good growing too much.

Thanks for reading, rock on with your bad selves! :hump:
