i'll use unsulfered molassis not sugar daddy but i think its the same shit. and then sam as you 3-4 days of just plan water, not R/O'd or anything. sometimes i'll dump at day 2 and refill if i see my ppm's climb.. my water comes out at 190 so if it goes up to 300+ i dump and refill for flush.
Do u top feed the molasses? It doesn't mes ur pump up?

nope. I get some teaming hot water, about 5 gal and pour, and honestly i just estimate the purs but about 1/2 cup maybe more in the hot 5 gal. stir the shit out of it and dump it into my 55gal rez. ph at 6.0 and let her go. I will use a recirc pump but no air stones and i have 2 pumps that are used for the bucket system and neither of them get gooked to bad.
BUT i am OCD about cleaning. i do full dump, rez clean and scrubs every week, i do bucket vacume and clean 2-3 grows too. so when i use the molass for 3-4 days it aint no thing, all my gear is spotless for the start of the stretch.

thanks man lol
its an extra 20 minutes to bleach and hose out the rez before i refilled so i figure what the hell. then i figure, if i'm doing this shit, i should put all the pumps i na bleach solution and let the run and rinse while i am doing that.. then i figured, those buckets and brain are kinda dirty, so i got a dry/wet vac and you can vac out the brain and the suction pulls the lines too.. then i figured.. lol i am ocd..
but that shit works sometimes yo
and
i've seen pix of your room, i bet its a shared trait; OCD cleaning. lol

yeah.. i use a cap full in a warm 3 gal bucket and a scrub sponge, and dip and scrub, then hose off, vacume out rinse scrub, hose off, vacume out.
for the pumps, i use the cap on the bottle..
bleach is pretty safe actually
edit:
when i say cap, i fill the cap with bleach throw it in the bucket and bamn theres my mix ratio..
no science on this shit, just rinse and go

When I have to stake them I found it's easyer to use the stakes upside down and get the point threw the netting. Then tye it to the stock of the plant. That will give you 2 points of solid contact.

When i used hydrotron i just pushed the stake in as best i could and tyed the stalks, took a bunch per plant but it worked

I was wondering if someone could give me a good educated guess on how big a res I would need for a 3x3 flood table with 25 6x6 square pots on it? I want to buy coolers for the res and want to make sure I get big enough ones. I plan on cloning in rockwool cubes and hydroton in the pots.
HR, things are going real good! This way of growing to me seems far superior then dirt. I'm a few weeks out and I think it's pretty safe to say this will be my best result so far! One thing I wish I would of done different was prune them quite a bit before flower. I didn't anticipate how bushy they would get in this system. Going to be adding some overdrive this week. So no sweetener even if I only run it a couple days? Been using the aquashield and I've been happy with the results. My res stays pretty clean through out the week. I'll have some more questions for you when I get closer as far as a schedule for flushing. Thanks!

I think its just best to skip the sweetener just to be safe
