Oh wow OK. I used to used those butvwater would akwaysvget too hot and the roots would get really gnarly. Not rotten, but brown and tough
ill have to get the size of that pump, its sized perfect for that box in a 75F room . As long as I dont zip the tent up all the way it stays cool enough to not have any issues. Sometimes I ignore it for a month. The only issue ive had in it yet was that rot because the tent was zip all the way up with no exhaust on. Shit felt like warm bath water lol.

I wanted to, I have clones ready... but I didnt finish putting it all back together from when I replaced those buckets. Im feeling MUCH better today, but still a few days to a week away from being able to get that all sealed up and water ready. Ill have to get under the table.

I also dont want to overlap crops too much. Running both tents full swing at the same time is not fun on my electric bill. Once things settle out I plan to drop seeds 2 weeks before I chop.

Wow... I do not take that lightly at all. I don't feel that's the case and I have plenty of experience left to gain, but thanks!
I owe a lot of it to you though. You were around arguing with my stubborn ass when I got started and got me in the right direction for sure.

Thank you! I still have plenty to learn from you guys though.


Recovering is going well but a little slower than I had hoped, thanks.
What kind of issues did you have?
Im playing with it in flower now. My flower feeding is the last thing I feel I really need to dial in. I love mc for veg and will probably keep using it for at least veg, but the next crop or two will determine if I keep using it for flower.

Im playing around with this for this grow. So far I have some minor tip burn on some of the new growth, but nothing huge.
My tap water runs 60-70 ppm and from the water reports I can find should be 35-40ppm of calcium and around 10 of mag. Ive been meaning to do a carbonate test. Ive been considering switching to masterblend for flower just because ive been able to find more info on people using it and dialing it in. The flowers ive completed so far I was just kinda winging it with MC and their BE and got decent enough results. Some of the plants didnt looks great though. Ive gotten a good grasp on individual element stuff but have struggle to find consistent information about desired N/P/K/Ca/Mg/S ppm throughout the flower cycle.

This is from big book on hydroponics.
Got it in PDF if you'd need. It also has whole tens of pages on premixing salts to get specific PPMs and all tips and tricks on calculations

Do you run bennies, bleach/pool shock/ chlorine or h2o2 in cloner?
The same southern ag fungicide as the rest. Usually just dose it once with half dose when I change the water. I think I read something about the silica I add to it helps with that stuff too.
It gets warm in there. 80-82F and I haven't had any rot or anything in it yet.

The after. I have great friends. They did most of the work for me. I mostly just guided them to what I wanted.
I wasnt super comfortable doing this much to them, but well see how it goes.

Fragile- Everything looks great you should get some type of reflection right up against those plants where the empty space is and when you're in there working on them you can tuck it to the top of you're tent or something. I bet yields would be 10-15% higher.

Man your setups is a dream!
What are these red thingys on the pipes, do they spray water?
Thanks! Ive put a lot of time and effort into getting things how I liked. Saved tons of money with all the diy.

Pack of 360 sprayers of amazon and under $10 of pvc parts from lowes.
