18 gallon tote dwc

P1010044.JPG


pH probe started to fray where it connects to the probe recently (a week past the 6 month warranty) and they replaced it with proof of purchase.[/QUOTE]
.I have had mine for a good 2 years with not 1 problem. I got sick of trying to carry the thing so I made a handy holder for it. Made a few for a couple fellow growers and they say they couldn't do without it. Probe's are always submerged in water which does prolong the life.I love this thing.P1010041caddy.jpg :peace:

Bluelab and Hanna have never done me wrong. Be careful as you increase you LPM of air given as your nutes will become more 'available' for lack of a better term. As LPM increases overall % of ppm throuought the grow needs to be decreased. CCh20 has awesome references for things like this. What Lind of water temps are you keeping in those bad boys?

tight...KCl is what your supposed to store it in...yours didnt come with a cap for the pH probe? mine has a cap that screws tight to the plastic probe body and has a rubber gasket to prevent spillage. fill the cap with KCl and change it out anytime i recalibrate.
 
Nice grows. How much trouble is it to keep each dwc container ph and ppm stable? Do they each tend to do their own thing or all pretty much stay about the same?

Ya man it wasn't so bad before when I had bigger tubs (18 gallon) but with these 5 gallon ones they drift a lot more so it's been a pain keeping the ph right.
There's 1 that's small that does it's own thing and the other 5 ar usually pretty similar since there about the same size they drink the same and what not.

Next one I'm Defenetly going to be looking into making a undercurrent system or just doing a 4x8 flood table and a 4x4 in my 8x8 tent. I wish I had a 10x10 tent I could just throw two 4x8 flood tables.
 
Cool thanks you help me answer some thing i was wondering about with dwc. I figured same clones or strains should stay pretty consistent from bucket to bucket. Iam thinking about doing a rdwc to keep ppms and ph easier to manage. Thinking about 2 2 site containers linked to a 5g bucket as the res and just a away to fill, feed and link the 2 containers. This will be my flowering setup. Or a lager res linked to 5g dwc buckets. Going to do a single plant in dwc first to try it out.
