Wonder if you could clean it like maybe in the bath tub with some pH'ed water and some bleach....do you think you are having the pH problem because you reuse? I used to only check my ph like once after the first month but with dro you have to alway be fuckin with it right?

my water is about 500 ppm w/o being RO'd. If i used it to wash down all the media ... I'd just be exchanging one type of mineral build-up for another. I'm having the pH problem because i'm too lazy to check run-off. I've been just guessing at what they need. And i've been going overboard on the pH-Up. So right now they are sitting in some 900 ppm juice that's at about 6.7 pH. That might be alright for a soil setup... but perlite should run closer to hydroponic ranges of 5.9 to 6.3 -- so now i'll have to water with just plain RO water and pH-Down. I'm too lazy to flush 100+ 3 gal. containers (with how many gallons of RO water?) ... so they'll have to just work their way through the adjustment.

with 'true' hydroponics you'd want to prolly check the pH of the solution at least once a day. with 'manual hydroponics' ... i just have to adjust the solution as needed when i water every 3 days.

Day 1 is the day that the clones were cut... and the day that the Mother's received their first 12 hours of the 12/12 light cycle. That way ... you can count up to day 63 and know when its time to harvest.

(EDIT: though co2 may trim 1 or 2 weeks off ur flower time.)

i'm having a lot of "Page can't be found" errors since this new server went up... anyways...

as i've said before... make sure you don't use neem oil in your reservoir - its just meant to be a foliar spray. Malathion (50/50) from Lowe's or Home Depot can be used as a soil drench... 1 tablespoon per gallon of water in your reservoir kills both adults and larvae. Flypaper is also your friend. As well as diatamaceous earth broadcast on all flat surfaces and floors. Used appropriately... Malathion is the surest way to stop a fungus gnat infestation. The soil drench should thoroughly wet all of the media as well as the bottoms of the containers. Use a foliar spray at the same time and you will have covered all the bases.

thanks for the feedback... there's two different vids on that page in case you hadn't seen the first one yet... (the first one is around harvest time on the previous crop)

but here's a garden (i guess) i'm glad i don't have going w/over 100 ballasts... and probably (4) 500 gal. rez... and probably around 1500 plants...

YouTube - Cannabis warehouse busted Amsterdam

and i sure as hell hope this fellow had some way of lowering those lights down !!

That is a crazy video....I love the ballast room...holy shit. wow
no doubt ... just in the last couple seconds you see all three shelving units of ballasts...

anybody got any idea how he was watering these bi-atches? i don't see any drippers... it looks like there is a a small gulley under them... very tight little watering system. when the video first starts they are looking at one giant well lit up area... what's hard to see is that there is another same sized area in the darkness right behind them !!

There are a lot of commercial businesses that use this much electricity no problem. But i sure as hell wouldn't want to pay the electric bill.
