as soon as i get home i will take a pic of the roots. Bendbrewer what microbe tea did you use?

ya thats the problem im having, just spent 400 on a chiller but because of the waterfarm design, it doesnt circulate fast enough... :( res tempa are 65 but by the time it reaches the last bucket its 75 :(

they are mostly white, but some (small part of it) is brown, but that part isnt even in the water, maybe i can cut that part off?

what microbe tea did you use?

how did you connect the drip rings to the 1/2" tubing? i can see how what u r saying would work. water comes from controller bucket to each of the rings, rings drip , therefor recirculating the water, right now my drip rings pull from the bottom of its own res.

ahhh well some of it is brown, so then its prolly not the nutes then coloring the roots?

oh so you use a water pump from the controller to pump to each of the water rings? so you tee it off to 6 rings from a water pump?

so how do you say that you have recirc every 30 min dude? what kinda pump are you using to recirc the solution?

so bend brewer, you are saying you have 1" pipes. mine are 1/2" could this be why i cant use a water pump? also if i upgrade my pipes to 1" then use a water pump from the last bucket to the res(as it is today) will that be enough to recirc the nutes? that way i can use a water pump?

also it is circulating hte nutes because if i use ph down or add more nutes it evens out pretty quickly, but NOT quickly enough for the hps to NOT warm up the water

well it came this way from GH heatha. it is an airpump(came witha tiny one) that uses air pressure to pull water from the last ucket and throw it into controller. i but a pump five times bigger then that(since they say every 4 hours with normal pump, im assuming mine is faster) how do i use...

sutra, what have u been running for years now? that didnt really anwer anything? lol

how do you run a 600gph pump without over flowing your buckets??

what size piping did you use for the 8 bucket system? these ones are i think 1/2" and if i were to drain one bucket it would take nearly 4 minutes to fill back up(waterfarms use gravity to fill up) how do you have yours set up?

I have a waterfarm 8 pack with recirc kit(air pump that recircs the soltion every 4 hours)but the flow is wayyy too slow for my chiller to cool down the actual pots. I keep the control res at 65 but by the time the SLOW ASS PIECE OF SHIT waterfarm(can you tell i have had MANY problems with this...

I am in DWC(well R-DWC) and water temps have been at like 78-80 usually. Most pf my plants werent doing so well because ambeitnt emps aere like 85 90, until i got an aircooled hood and 6" vortex to exhaust out. Now ambient tems stay at EXACTLY 80 allll day. but res temps are also 80. is this...

would i be able to wash the hydroton with it? would it hurt the roots?

what is clearex? would flora clean work?

and a i rinsed the hydroton before i used it

but i know people grow with water like this just fine, my plants are obviouly missing something. am i over watering?
