[M Blaze]

Nice looking buds you got there mate, very nice actually.

Well done and enjoy your rewards

Just a quick update on the thingy..lol..

As you can see, they are still alive...

I still have not had the hydroton to spare, so there are a few slots left, but that will be remedied soon..lol...

Well, I think it works...lol...

Also worthy of mention on this thread is the new "cloner" attempt..lol...

I hope you realize I do these things for fun..lol...

So I used a gallon jug of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom, an air stone/pump and some store bought "neoprene inserts"...

I plugged in 9 cuttings, and filled it with straight tap water @ pH 7.2...

We'll see what happens...lol..

Cheers...

Thanks man...

We'll see if it even works...

I might get a timer and put it on a 15 minute on/off cycle, but we'll see how it works...

The foam is actually store bought "neoprene inserts" made for those "easy cloners"... 39 cents a piece at the hydro place...

Im liking that cloner. It looks like a great little system.

Hahaha... Thanks man...

It's just for fun... I love scavenging and recycling...

Kinda like lego for adults...lol...

nice design m8

Thanks DWR, I still have to see if it works... lol...

Cheers everyone!

 

[GypsyBush]

Sooo...

It was bound to happen at some point...

Fuck...
My very first pest problem...

I did a little reading, and I believe them to be Mosquito larvae, feeding on the Algae that keeps getting out of hand in the Mom's tray...

Being a DIY, and not the best design at that, my Mom's trays keep a shallow pool of water when it drains...

So I have algae to feed the larvae, then they get big and bite ME!!!

AK is a SWARM of mosquitoes in the Summer... they get in... no two ways about it...

But I am going to try to get rid of them with some H2O2, which should keep the algae at bay until I replace the tray with a proper one...

I will also start using a filter/pump to keep the water from being "stagnant"...

I'll show you what I have in the flower room when lights come on...lol...

OK.. let the flogging begin...

 

[DWR]

ugly motherfucking things, ughhhhhhh ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

haha gl cleaning them out hehehe

man dude, realy horrible little things, hope nothing gets destroyd by em ...

 

[dankmango]

we use candles that smell weird and mosquitos hate it down south, but it would be sick if you just put some little fish or something in there to eat them all. im blazed though so prolly not a great solution

 

[purpdaddy]

yup thats a lil pest!Ive never had trouble in that are thank God!

 

[GypsyBush]

They eat algae, so the plants should be safe... but I am not about to let this get out of hand...

I am working on it... shit is drained and drying... will get a good (light) bleach cleaning...

I would hate for my buds to smell of anything else...lol...

And thanks but this is not an aquaponics set up...lol..

I have had one and it worked great, just a little extra unneeded work...

Thanks!

yup thats a lil pest!Ive never had trouble in that are thank God!

Keep it that way...

I am glad it's just mosquitoes..

I'll get rid of the standing water, get rid of the algae, and therefore get rid of the bugs, since they will not have what to eat...

I am also going to get one of these, as I have in the flowering res... it filters solids (i have carpet...) and keeps the water moving in the res...

 

[dankmango]

lol, thanks for not crushin my buzz n bein rude to my post. but whats that thing for? I have carpet too so I am confused what it will do for that. will it keep my carpet dry? so confused... if it goes in your rez, wont it filter out some nutrients also?

LOL.. no problem man... I hate to be a buzzkil..lol..

That "thing" is used in aquariums...

It's a water pump that draws water across 2 sponges...

When I say I have carpet, I mean that I get carpet fibers and crap in my res...

Nothing I noticed before I used the filter... but boy do I notice now...lol...

I clean my filters every two weeks... and I am glad I have them every time...

They are rigged for aeration as well... so you can get bubbles and water movement at the same time...

Another benefit I am still investigating is the fact that these filters are used in aquariums, to perpetuate the beneficial bacteria colony in the environment... Keeping the filter "dirty" after a tank clean, will allow the beneficial bacteria to re-colonize, before the "bads" can move in...

As for filtering nutrients, I cannot see how a simple coarse sponge would do anything to the nutes...

I suppose I could be wrong, but I have had these in my flower tanks for 3 or 4 months now...lol..

 

[dankmango]

thats awesome... I keep different solutions in gallon containers in my fridge cause its so hot, but i always have to shake them up and all that. once i start a true SoG I was just gonna put a submersible pump in my big res. but that may be even better, im big on the benificial bacteria n all that. looks really promising if understood and used correctly, but im not really on that level yet. I probably will end up with so much cat hair in my water after just a few days, +rep when I can give more for teaching me something cool

 

[GypsyBush]

Hahaha!!!

But hey man...

I am just a newb...

Don't go learning unproven things from me... I hate to get a myth started..lol...

Fucking Gypsies...lol....

But serious... if you think it works, go with it because YOU think so...

I am just a dumbass with nothing better to do...

ALWAYS go with what you know...lol...

Cheers Bro!
