I have had good luck using risers in the bucket to keep the water level where you want. The water gets pumped in the bottom and drains back to the sump at the level of the risers. Just have to place the res lower than the buckets. This gives you good natural aeration and I put an airstone in...
Each bucket circulates back to one of the two sumps. The MH is cooled by a 6in inline fan. The stuff around the table are herbs, garlic, lettuce, and potatoes(in the recycled cat littler bucket). Let me know what you think or if you have any questions on DWC. I have had success with this method...
Each tub is recirculated back to one of the sumps, I planted some herbs, lettuce and garlic in planters around the edges of the grow table. What do you think?
My tomato plant leaves are drying up and dying. The other plants under same conditions (snap peas and jalapeno) are d oing well. Conditions: ebb n flo plants in 4x4 cubes(problems started when transplanted to cubes) fed flora nova @600ppm every 1-2 days. Tap water at 300ppm. Under 400w mh air...
I have a few types of plants and the only ones that are dying are my tomatoes.
They started dying after being transplanted to 4x4 cubes and have never recovered.
Background: 4x4 in hydroton watered once every 1-2days for15min
Of 600 ppm flora nova in 300 ppm tap water at 6.0 Ph. Under 400w mh...
Maybe, the 4x4 rockwool has been holding moisture well, the only showing problems when transferred into the rockwool. I'm using floranova at 400ppm with 1/8tsp/gal Epson salt. 70f 45%Rh 14/10 under 400w mh. I've been watering every other day. Thanks for taking the time
Safest way, run a proper cord from main load center with a two pole breaker to make a second breaker box in the room of your choice and then you can use your original diagram with numerous 220 and 110 runs with associated current trips.
A few of the ones that are taking a turn for the better. And the snap peas were planted same day. I had to bend them back because they are going like crazy.
i thought magnesium deficiency as well. The high tds in the tap water i am using and the low ph i used to soak the 4x4s locked out mg. I added a 1/4tsp per gal of epson salt to solution and raised ph to try and combat it. the plants are looking better today ill upload some pics. Masp84, if u do...
I'll keep adjusting the ph. My cubes don't seem to be drying out hardly, common sense would say to not feed/water until its less saturated is this correct?
