    Suspended Planter 600w Cool Tube + DS300 LED

    12 oz. Honestly I think 8-10 too, but ninja already took that guess ;) It could easily be 12. just takes 3 4oz plants.

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    My grow store started selling brewed tea too, but I think it's slightly different than this recipe. They have this big machine that is constantly brewing many gallons of tea.

    Suspended Planter 600w Cool Tube + DS300 LED

    I could see that having an effect, but I agree it's probably more to do with soil vs hydro and grower skill. I have heard that high temps will cause increased resin, but I can't say I've heard anyone talk about cold temps. I think most growers have more trouble with high temps than low temps. ;)...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Hi Heisenberg, I HAVE actually read through this entire thread. While I'm sure I forgot more than I remember, I did try to find answers to my questions by searching! Recently, someone asked about a lack of foam during brewing. Is this OK? I don't have a way to measure the temps of my brewing...

    3 x 750WHPS + 24 site Ebb & Grow + basement = happy hiker

    Res is sitting around 61 with fish tank heater. I'll be putting some insulation between the res and the concrete this weekend. That should get me to the 65 I'm shooting for. I also added a heater to my RO holding tank. It will be getting some insulation right after the res does! Plants are...

    Hey Roomie. They look happy. I try to do my training right before a 'flood' cycle while the plants are a little 'limp'. Less accidental breakage that way, but I still snap stems occasionally. I've broken 2 far on my grow. Don't worry about filling your screen. I can't tell the dimensions real...

    ++Hellraizers++ DO AND DONTs and in and outs of the ebb&grow/ebb&flow systems

    A couple of my friends built a system like that. The biggest problem I see is the flow rate. The roots will start to fill that PVC pipe. They won't completely clog the pipe, but the water you're trying to pump through the pipe begins to move too slow. You either have water coming out the plant...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Thanks Heisenberg. I just don't know how I feel about having it in my fridge. For now I can put it outside I suppose. I suspect if it freezes, the bacteria and fungi will die?

    Looks good man. Glad you already flipped. That screen looks full!

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I have a question about brewing the tea. Is it OK to put the bucket into the grow room? My basement is cold, and the instruction to say to brew at "room temperature". And a related question... When I refrigerate the left over tea, how cold does it need to be? If my basement stays in the low...

    Suspended Planter 600w Cool Tube + DS300 LED

    Hey Roomie. Plants look great! You could flip that anytime and you will be happy. I agree with TC, move more of those branches out to the edges. The center looks real dense compared to the perimeter. Did you have a # of buds you are shooting for? It looks like you have a lot of tops in there...

    I think I understand the point you're trying to make. You're saying that, for the Ebb & Gro, the inner buckets 'stick' in the outer buckets, right? I had not really noticed that, but after you brought it up, I guess the outer buckets do seem to lift up sometimes when I am removing the inner...

    Thanks for clarifying. I guess I would have to experience them for myself in order to appreciate the differences. How does the netpot make the root growth better? Seems to me, they would still mat up around the edges, but now all those roots would be between the outer bucket and the net pot...

    I just watched the Titan setup video and I don't see a difference between that system and the Ebb & Gro. Obviously the buckets are different, but this system appears to be the same design as the C.A.P. system. What makes these buckets easier to pull out?

    Sorry :( Bungee cords might be easier, but I've used the springs and they work. I hate that hum. That's the main reason I hike, to escape the 60hz hum! I think most of us don't realize that we're surrounded by it all the time.

    I'm running the standard version, except I added 2 expansion to get to 24 buckets. Are you planning to LST or SCROG or something? 15 plants will fill that space pretty well without too much veg, but I bet a little LST will help it to fill out nicely. Are you planning to start a journal so we...

    3 x 750WHPS + 24 site Ebb & Grow + basement = happy hiker

    The ph in your res is drifting down then up? Weird. Mine has never done that. My RO water starts ~ ph7. After adding nutes (GH Flora), it's ph was at 5.5. It slowly drifts up from there. I changed the res on Saturday, and the ph was just hitting 6.0 last night (Monday night). I'll probably...

    You could use bungee cords. The elasticity should also help dampen the vibrations. Play around with the length of the elastic section too as you can get unlucky and find harmonics which could make the vibration worse! If that happens, shorten it a little more. You can also use a spring. You get...
