    3 days on jack's 5-12-26 and the plants are loving it! Bye bye General Hydroponics forever

    I just know what most people talk about when using coco. As I said I have not used coco yet and wanted someone with experience to chime in, so now you have. As you said, don't follow any 1 person's advice.

    3 days on jack's 5-12-26 and the plants are loving it! Bye bye General Hydroponics forever

    I am switching to coco soon and have always been told, NEVER plain water in coco. It strips the calcium and magnesium from the media. Hopefully someone with hands on experience will chime in?

    recommended ppfd range?

    The way I understand it is they can't absorb more light than 1000 ppfd Without supplement co2. 1000 ppfd is maximum, not optimal? if all other environmental factors are perfect. If the vpd is off, poor air flow high or low temps, humidity levels, all afffect how much light they can absorb...

    What happened with @jonnynobody? Did he get mad at someone or something and leave? Or did he get the boot due to his gruff attitude? His posts were usually a good read.

    Best Pumps for Drip Irrigation

    I have been considering switching to top feed drip lines. So far, in hydro, I have only done ebb and flow with pumps in the bottom of a 55 gallon drum. I am curious what is the advantage of switching to an external pump vs 1 in bottom of the reservoir?

    Washing hydroton

    I remove the root ball and shake out loose hydroton into a rubbermaid tub. Rinse in h20 and then I bake it in the oven at 400°f for 30 minutes to sterilize. Put in clean tubs and small dried out root pieces just crumble off in the tub.

    Jacks 10-30-20 for the First Week of Bloom (no calcium)

    It does not list any calcium in the analysis. The only info it gives about calcium it states "potential acidity: 417 lbs of calcium carbonate equivalent per ton" I do not know what that means.

    Jacks 3-2-1

    This is the most plant available silica that I have found. It is expensive but you only use 0.3ml per gallon. I was introduced to the product by @PJ Diaz. He may have more info than me. To answer your basic questions, no it does not affect EC or PH. It does foam up the reservoir a little so...

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    I start my seeds in promix. Once I can determine sex, and I can see the plant structure, it is big enough to cut enough clones and root them in an aero cloner(clone king). Once they root and start growing in the cloner, usually 2-3 weeks soak the hydroton, then carefully transplant to the...

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    I run a similar bucket system, for about 5 years now. During veg I only flood 4 times during lights on, and no floods during lights out until they are much bigger, maybe after 3rd week of veg? There is very little transportation happening in the dark, and I feel like it gets roots stretching...

    HpLVD and plastic pots/containers

    I always used iso to clean my shears. Now I learn that you must use bleach to kill this virus. I'm wondering if you could use Barbicide (fungicide) in a container just like a barber to disinfect there shears between customers. It is designed for soaking shears and keeps them from rusting...

    Hydrofarm 5 gal ebb and grow help

    Your top feed system looks awesome! I bet with coco it worked great. I run an ebb and flow set up. I start with rooted cuttings and just hand water for the 1st week or so, along with flooding, until I see root growth coming out of the basket.
