just keep your airpumps out of your grow room or grow tent. that is the only way the water ever got hot for me in standalone dwc. Also screw stand alone dwc. it rocks nice trees but what a PAIN in the ass to fill say 8 diferent buckets. That is my current grow. So I am now building what is best...

oh yeah, i am running the pump in some water too see if it get hot. I hope a 250 gph wont get too hot. I never had any heat issues so far with standalone buckets. I also thot of every 15 inutes. The roots can take some air time.

hehe, i found out that every pump, including the one I have is inline. Yu just unscrew the cap and put in a male peice. presto. i got a 250 gph I am going to run. I am running a modifed 2 liter bottle system i used once only with fiev gallon buckets on a card table. I am putting a drain in each...

I want a water pump that does not heat up. I used to have an inline pump. I never tried it running continoulsy. I used it for ebb and flow. I am gonna use it for an a recirc dwc. I dont want to use a chiller. Hey i wonder how that dude heat does it. I have to check that. I know my 500...

those all sound like mine. 4-600 for clones and 900 for veg and 1200 for flower. it is all about trying not to burn for me right now. i got ph fine. however these stupid buckets are a pain to keep filled. i am thinking of going to ebb and flow with 3-10 gallon rubbermaids. this way i only got...

I am curious what happens if you take the same water you use for reservours and make a large bucket up and let that sit. Checking it. What does the ph do? I have had some ph probs and I had to really look at water and nutes to find a combo that worked. Fine tune everything. Start from the...

awesome. that is like the 2 liter bottle thing except with real buckets. Not to rain on your parade. that is cool. I was wondering if it fills the rest of the buckets consistently. 15 mintues sounds good. I have been dying to find a way to flood buckets other than ebb and grow and for myself...

i am not looking at the link but i researched t5s a bit before I bot my 6 bulb for 150 and the really expensive models use a sepereate ballast for each bulb! Other cool electric things and quality that boost the power some. Youre cheapest bet is to buy a t5 hi industrial fixture from econo light...

screw portables. I am consideralby smaller tho. I run a 600 and a 30k of t5 in a room that is almost sealed. Two tents and I exhaust the hot air back into the room most of the time. I can choose depending on the climate. Wait, here is my story. I bought a protable and a window unit on the same...

dude are you sure you want your case number? even if you are legal. I mean in the pic.

lucas would tell you to lower your ppms to 600 or so and that is it. Maybe lower like 400 for such little clones. The fact is jut drop the ppms. Take some solution out and put some ph adjuted water back until at 500 perhaps. See then if they dont improve. You got to feel your plants too. Not...

that is frickin aweome.

do your probes have the temp comp features?

I grow trees in three inch netpots. I have also grown two plants at a time in a stealth hydro dwc setup. The three gallon. When I grow trees I use a five gallon or bigger buckets and a three inch net pot that half the time anchors right and the other half I have to try to tie up which is easy...

ok. I just tried to measure the res and a cup of res water. They both read the same. At first as usual I had to swish the probe aroun d a little and wait a few moments. That prob cant be your prob. I have a ph 55.

I am running over ways to flood five gallon buckets on an ebb table. I have thot of a tube that runs into the buckets and filling them all with hydroton up to the top. But I want them more mobile. I have thot of using rockwool in the buckets. I have thot of using rectagle buckets...

by .5 yu mean it really hits 6 instead of 5.8? I would think that is odd. Maybe a lot of factors. i use a ph 53 I think it is. MAybe 56. clean the cup out and try reading the samples and reservoir with all diferent variables in check. Mine has no issues. Maybe recalibrate. Check batteries...

you need those trace minerals. Hopefully you water from the city has some. Cal and mag. He is worried about the salts like the NPk compounds come as. However I have no comment except to say that the astronauts we all know choose the gh three part for their edibles so they must know something. :)

well botanicare sucks for ph. sorry dude. however I asked what you use. I have read and well versed in organics and its soil use. However I have not tried a real organic "soup" yet of say blood bone and kelp with baceteria and fungi in a bucket. That might work or be a joke. Lots of...

anybody ever do hydro organics? how was your ph struggle. I was all into the organic soil way. Very fun. Then i wanted to do some hydro. I dont sell. But PH is my worry with hydro. If the PH is not ok all the time the plants go BYE BYE in all kinds of ways. With all the bacteria and fungi that...
