Kitty.....how do you know that you are maintaining the correct ratio of nutrients in the res? Are you just running the Lucas, or another method? Wait....nevermind. I just remembered that you are a Humboldt fan... =). Are you running Lucas ratios, or what is prescribed on their label?

Lookin good hellraizer! Is that with straight hydroton, or did you mix in some Grodan cubes? I have obviously been changing my res out too often it seems. I am going to go to every 2 weeks this next grow and see how it goes. Are you topping off with fresh water daily, or do you wait for the...

Do you top off with full-strength nutes or fresh water?

Not really....I only use about $200 in nutes every grow. I keep my EC around 1.8 when they are really cranking...usually around 1.5. Are there people who dont dump their res each week to clean it and freshen it up? I add almost 10 gallons of fresh h20 per day....by Lucas standards that would...

hellraizer is right....CLearex is a waste of $$$. Think about it...the purpose is to leach as much salt into the solution as possible in order to clean your medium. Leaching works via osmosis....from high to low concentration. Adding anything to the leach water will only serve to decrease the...

I clean my res every week with my res change. I use bleach at around 1/2-3/4 C per few gallons...Its not precise. Quick scrub, double rinse, and refill.

Im about to buy some Qrazy Train beans from TGA....it looks sick!

DOPE....thanks a lot. Two things.....Are those straight 1/2" barbed fittings made by raindrip, and do they fit in the E&G grommets? Or are those new grommets also? And the other.....I'm super interested in your switch to Grodan. What size Grodan are you growing in? Are you using those...

I get what he is saying. You add 100ml of bleach per gallon (~2.5% bleach) to use as your base solution, then add the solution at 5ml/gal for first day, 2.5 each following day. And everyone's plants look okay using bleach, right? Sounds WAYYYYYYY cheaper than 35% H2O2, which I am using at...

What is the rate of bleach that you are adding per gallon? My res is starting to smell funky.... =( What would be a safe amount to add to clean up a problem, and what is the rate for daily-ish maintenance? Plants are on day 37 of 12/12.

It almost looks like a leech...

Could you elaborate on the rotation of the float valve? Are you talking about the valve that is already cocked to one side, or the straight up and down one? Which way did you rotate it? Is the purpose to cut the pump off sooner, and leave a little more water in the bottom of the bucket?

Gonna do this tonight....thanks! I would rather shim the front than the side with the float because my drain pump is at the back of the brain bucket. Lets see how it does....

I have the same lag time with bareroot clones from an aerocloner going into straight hydroton (~10-14 days). I was told by a friend to water the clones from the top a few times a day until they take hold, which is what I am going to try next time. Just make sure you dont overflow your res by...

So is that just standard 3/4" irrigation tubing? Also....where is the 5/8" tubing coming into play?

So did you get those straight 3/4" fittings from Raindrip or CAP? Do they require a worm clamp? The hose that came with the E&G is 3/4" correct?

Hellraizer: Do you think the 3/4" PVC line would be enough to supply 12 buckets in a run? I have my buckets set up in 4 rows of 6 buckets each, which of course need 4 supply lines coming from the brain bucket. I would like to eliminate 2 supply lines and feed two groups of 12 buckets with the...

Nevermind....found yours hellraizer. Anyone else?

Could I see some pictures of the PVC setups? Specifically the controller bucket/PVC junction, and the junctions with the pots. I know hellrasier posted some a while back, and Im too lazy to search for them!@! I would like to go this route also. I had some pretty plugged up tubes after the...

Yeah I get a sediment/slime in the res, on my big air plate, and on my pump. It doesn't coat the whole res, but seems to settle at the bottom, so Im guessing it is a nutrient interaction causing some sedimentation. I am going to start using the hygrozyme at the 8ml/gal rate every other week...
