    Heat stress, malnutrition, no clue !! Vet pls help this beginner

    Liquid fish fertilizer is a complete fertilizer. It contains all necessary trace nutrients. I have had very good luck with it over the years. It is relatively weak at a half teaspoon per gallon in the seedling stage and a teaspoon per gallon in the adult stage, just make sure you give them...

    PH keeps dropping

    PH dropping like that is a sign of bad root rot. You need to look at your roots and cut off any that are slimy. You need to start treating with hydrogen peroxide before you lose your crop.

    What I would like to know is does his formula take into account the increased need for mg after the stretch period is over. I have his original drain to waste aero formula bookmarked somewhere, will find and post it later.

    Taking the plunge: HP Aero Drain to Waste

    Awesome info! Love the grate idea, pun intended. Fortunately where I live it rarely frosts and rarely gets over 75 degrees in the summer. My basement is unheated so it hovers between 60 in the winter and 70 in the summer. That shouldn't be a problem. The timer I am using has on settings...

    Heat stress, malnutrition, no clue !! Vet pls help this beginner

    I wouldn't worry about cal mag deficiencies in the seedling stage. It takes a few weeks before it is an adult. In that time you will see little growth. Get some liquid fish fertilizer and find dolomite lime. Transplant it into something bigger that isn't clear and mix in a couple tablespoons...

    I'm going to run fatmans drain to waste bloom, if I recall the numbers are around 4-1.3-5. Hard to look it up on this phone :-) He based his formula off tissue samples he had tested running his medium pressure Aero system. I found some solenoids on a water purification site. Would have to...

    I insulated my aero totes while the youngsters are dropping roots over in the DWC tote. Here is some "Insulation porn": Bubble wrap insulation.... nectar of the Gods! They are nice and tightly wrapped. Between the insulation and the chiller I should be able to keep temps inside the totes...

    I will keep it updated as this crop progresses, thanks again and I will probably be asking more questions down the road.

    Taking the plunge: HP Aero Drain to Waste

    In my DWC tree system four plants drink 15-20 gallons a day in full bloom. That is the measure I go by. I also go on 2-3 day ski or sailing trips. I have someone babysit, but I like to be able to walk for a few days without them having to touch the system. I have had babysitters fuck my...

    Taking the plunge: HP Aero Drain to Waste

    I don't think it has to be all or nothing. Especially when I am just beginning to get my feet wet. Perhaps in the future I will want to step it up a level, but for now I am going to keep it as safe and simple as possible and see what comes of it. Time will tell where I go with it. Simple is...

    Taking the plunge: HP Aero Drain to Waste

    The aquatec 6800 is a continuous duty pump according to the manufacturer. It is also uses very little power. This pump is dead silent. All I can hear when it runs are the misters spraying. It will last longer a lot longer if I use a couple solenoids and just run it continually and divert...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    Took em out of the aero system and put them in a DWC tote so they can drop some roots, then I will put them back into the aero. The roots that are dropping in the aero system are very fine tiny and fragile. I need a tap root, so once I see then all dropping it's back into the aero system.

    The more I read and watch youtube videos, the more I am convinced that drenching is the way to go. Seems people have this thing about pushing their plants to near death in search of elusive root hair perfection. I don't need perfection, just a better way to oxygenate, which the mist...

    DIY PH Down from Sulfuric Acid. (Battery Acid)

    This is one of the most ignorant posts I have ever read here. Blindness? Inhaling "mist?" Smoking it? "doesn't kill spider mites?" WTF? Dude, you don't spray PH down ON your plants do you? Absolutely ignorant. many commercial PH down formulas use sulferic because it does not precipitate...
