    EC, ppm500 scale (NaCl, TDS) -- seeking filter system recommendations

    Ok I think I understand now. Have you had a complete water test done? When you have a lower tap ppm it is ok to just subtract your base ppm/ec from the mix. If a box of nutes says x in a gallon of water gives you 1.2 ec or whatever when you add it to the water it will be higher due to you base...

    EC, ppm500 scale (NaCl, TDS) -- seeking filter system recommendations

    Hey do you have any type of descaler in the water system? A descaler will plug into the wall and have 2 wires wrapping around the main water pipe. The confusion of the ppm that varied so much killed my first dwc grow. Well that and me not recognizing the issue in time to stop it.

    Basic parameters for the cultivation for DIY project

    As a former instructor of young minds I am stunned that this student was set loose on a project with no idea on sourcing data. The first things he wrote were all stuff and none of it was research. His instructor let him loose with no plan ensuring failure. Instructor should have had him outline...

    Rotating platform for tents/small grows?

    Why not let the plants remain stationary and rotate the tent? Now that would be a broject! I followed a thread about moving lights on a tram and how it gave high and low dli and it gave me sad face. That problem could be fixed with a stopwatch and a voltage timer. The things we do to...

Start indoors and finish out in the yard and into the barn at night for additional light as my dli is not awesome outside. The light is a huge hps bulb that...
