    bbennies or h202

    first time outside of soil and was having really wild ph fluctuations and root rot (the AC failed once and temps shot up to high 80's, water in the 80's also) but I brewed some tea(and brewed more right after pouring it in, kept doing this for a week+, then just do it about once a week now) and...

    First time Aero grower with a few questions and pics of my build.

    only things I can help out with is that you need to paint/tape that tub up so no light gets in, also you run the pump on a cycle timer, either programmable or the preset 1 on 4 off setups(pump running 24/7 helps heat up the water). I am running heizenbergs tea in my aero setup and am pretty sure...

    root slime in aero, few questions about cause/cure?

    yeah I read that post the other day and thought the label on my kangaroots had listed some of the stuff in that post. ended up with guests at the house today so couldnt get in the room to check. I found out that my blue tub does let light bleed through so I got some tape and threw a layer on the...

    root slime in aero, few questions about cause/cure?

    I have a problem, roots have been growing like crazy, looked nice until tonight. put them in the tub saturday(small clones from the club), had temps around high 70's, water low-mid 70's. then I put in the window AC and put it on energy saver where it cycles the fan with the compressor, its a...

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    of course, last night I got the A/C installed and rerouted the duct's to my liking, so I cranked the ballast up to the full 600W, woke up this morning and the damn A/C had frozen up so it was on but barely blowing anything, water was 81 degrees, tent air space was 86. put it to fan only and had...

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    alright, I actually only bought 4 because they only had clones in dirt and I figured there would be a good chance Id kill them transferring them to an aero setup. anyways, first couple pics are of them right after I transferred them on sunday at about noon-1, next pics are of just now, about 33...

    Hydro - Mother coming to visit for the day, air pump needs to be shut off, will roots

    that would NEVER work with my mom. I tell her ANY reason why she cant go into a room and the questions start pouring in until I finally just have to start a fight, piss her off, and walk away so I can quit making up answers to her questions (havent actually had this specific problem come up, but...

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    yeah that snow fence is exactly the kind of thing Im going to look for. how big did you let those get before flower? I grew some lemon trainwreck, white widow, and purple haze and after the first ones from seeds Id pretty much clone under 12/12 (maybe a few days of 18/6) and I could have them...

    Well Water 290 ppm plants dying?

    when I was in AZ my well water was above 300, no idea what was in it so I used distilled and it was only .98/gallon. not sure how much water you go through but it might not be that expensive of a route for you to take.

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    I got some trellis/netting stuff spanning wall to wall so I can "try" and train them and get the perimeter plants closer to the walls and leave the middle area for the center plants to have some more room. the netting I got was all rolled up and bunched into a small pouch so I didnt expect the...

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    here are some pics. I am going to string up some netting from corner to corner of the tent so I can get the outer plants of the tub farther to the edges of the tent so they can each have a little more canopy space for themselves.

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    OK, thought about the sponge but wasn't sure if I would be just adding a nice, porous, constantly damp area for unwanted crap to grow. Got more sprayers in yesterday, think it's a go I just have to pull them all back out and flush the manifold to get all the little PVC shavings out so they all...

    help with silencing the dripping back to the res, and sprayer ?'s

    ??? Ive only heard that said to me before in one context... not sure how its meant here, you actually saying I should put socks in the res to quiet it down? I got a few more sprayers today to install and Im going to see how it looks. might snap some pics while Im down there.
