If you’re still looking to cool your res more I just drop a few frozen water bottles in there every morning. Does the trick nicely

I had problems with getting the heat up in my tent so I did this. If you want to avoid the smell getting pulled back through the vent and into the house, what I did was attach the flex vent to a fan inside the tent. That way it pulls from the vent but doesn’t create a backdraft in any way. Then...

nutes* not bites

I use 5 gallon buckets and have 3 on the go. I do the same as ganja jack said, mix up all the bites in one bucket and feed them with what used to be a baby formula mixing container. As for LST on the buckets, I screwed 8 1/2” long stainless screws into the bucket lid and used them as tie points...

I do actually I have 3 5 gallon buckets and they’re inside a 50gallon kiddie pool inside a tent. Also like I said. No recirc. Just buckets. So unless a food grade plastic bucket decides to just let go there’s no risk. Also I’m in Canada and technically under the legal limit by a plant. I’m...

I just emailed the AN guys today. I’m running the same nutrients and I wanted to know if I needed to add cal mag. They said no I don’t. I’m in hydro so I don’t know if that changes it but if you don’t need it save it for when you do. Cheaper grow

So even in flower, no bud candy or big bud etc?? I’m not super concerned about being strictly one way or another. I’m just intrigued with the whole idea. Saving a bunch of money of nutrients is very appealing. Result wise, as far as quality of finished product, the whole idea is that higher is...

Thanks for that I haven’t seen those yet. I’m using AN 3 part perfect ph base and unfortunately already bought it all before finding these threads or RIU in general. Really wish I knew this place existed two months ago haha. Anyway I think I worked it out to something around 8mlMicro 20mlBloom...

Ok thanks

Do you know what your actual numbers were?And I’m using B52 as well so I included that in my calculation. Is that right do you know? Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading through a bunch of threads on here about hydro nutrients and what strength is actually needed. Needless to say my eyes feel like they’re melting and I’m either not high enough or too high for this right now. I’ve been reading up on the Lucas formula and I know it...

Ya I hope to improve on it in the future.

Just got my first indoor on the go. I’m running DWC. Just 3 independent buckets. I don’t own where I’m growing and don’t want to risk any potential leaks or flood issues so I didn’t bother with making it recirculating. Just got extra buckets to make res swaps easy. I’m in a tent. I have a 5 x 9...

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Whatever gets the girls fed is what matters. Have a great grow!

No not necessarily. Where’s your pump? It’s in the reservoir feeding or pump is on the return? You can return to the top of the res if you wanted to. Supply off bottom, return on top usually works great. I crudely drew on your pic. Maybe I’m just confused and making it worse. I do smoke a lot

Ohhhh ok I get it. Can you just raise it to the level of the existing tent hole and then have your return enter your res at that height? Cuts the fittings in half

Ya you don’t need the fittings. You can just run your return at the height of the zipper. You’re using pumps and air stones I assume so it’s not like you’ll have sitting water. Are you not worried about light seeping in through the zipper with your pipe through it at all? I have heat issues and...

Ya a 2” is 8-9 feet I believe. I’m a pipe fitter by trade. I don’t have the exact number on hand, my pipe book is in my tool bag at work. But just be wary of added fittings. Even a straight through valve has a higher than 1:1 straight pipe equivalent. I’m sure a google search will find it for...

This here. A 3/4” 90 is adding the equivalent of 2 feet of pipe. So two of those you’ve added the equivalent resistance of 4 extra feet of pipe. Not saying you can’t do it but certainly need to take into account when sizing pumps
