About 100 dollars a gal it works I use it in my areo cloner 4 and 5 weeks at a time without a water change just 1/2 cup to start no pathogens.

That hydro shop medical friendly? I asked you once before but had ended up going to one closer to my commute for I forgot. I think Hygrozyme is like 130 a gallon but thusfar it seems to do the job. I'm always down for saving bucks though.

so really.....you guys like the hygrozyme better than h2o2? no problems with it or the one spark is using?

h2o2 would do its thing, but there would always be leftovers and it served better as a dosing measure to kill stuff than it really was as a preventative. My res/tray setup isn't ideal but it is getting there.
Hygrozyme has kept my roots pretty and at times I get a slight film on the top of my res water, but it seems to be inert. Probably used up dead baddies, but not snotty or gross looking like the algae used to be.
It is probably moreso what works best for you than what works best, ya know? h2o2 worked fine for Al, but I needed something else. Its funny, a good portion of al's stuff doesn't really work for me.

ya...me neither
i might give some other things a try and still use the h2o2 for spot cleaning. hygrozyme is decent. any others i need to read up on?

As far as additional pathogen additives I really have no more experience than with that. The small amount of growth I probably get now is probably due to inadequate res light shielding. Only so much I can do with my setup and it is one thing at a time. Hygrozyme is buying me that time.
I am in the market for other preventatives though. I hear about neem oil for mite prevention, anyone have experience or other ideas?

LOL...... im the only mad scientist in this process.... and only two plant per per month get f@#ked with.... the rest i wont touch just the usuall and traditional methodology.
Speaking of burning down......
Any one else fighting the heat in AUS?? We have 45 C days thats 114 F...... some of my baby ladies are getting 93F And i cant do shit really.... Have AC going full blast, But sealed mother room is not vented like my bud room and is suffering for it! Any suggestions ??BUD has No lights during day..... And mothers dont get any for the hottest part of the day on a 18/6 and the clone box well... I have no temp but i bet its over 115F

Well... what can I say....
Maybe Alaska and the subzero weather makes for a more pathogen free environment overall....
Maybe super cold res temps and ridiculous amounts of air being pumped 24/7 have something to do with it...
I am not sure...
But I have non slimy, white as rice, crispy crunchy roots...
I just know it is a matter of time before my perfect world collapses.... and I want to be ready....
I am using RR, but I keep hearing of pump failures because of debris from RR and H2O2...
SO....
I am going back to the original recipe for cloning...
Fuck the potful of RW.... I like the sound of the water running.... a lot...

E/F? Because I use RR's and I have the RR's just above the fill line so they don't even see h2o2. No real issues there.

What was your avg yield per plant? 1000w? Since Jack is the only strain I have flowered thusfar the difference between the two continues to floor me.

if your asking me i dont know yet, i just took those and i'm still no where near done.

I machine that would pluck the bud off the stock so you would have no main stem would be nice. I always remember going duck hunting with my father and we had this machine that would rip off all the feather of your ducks!
True, trimming buds suck! Teaks my neck out and shit. But when you have buds that long and huge, its going to take a while! Thats why I love my small one stem cola to trim. Nothing else. See lucky me too!

Hey guys! So after browsing around the different growing options, I've come to realize this would probably be the best system for me. I'm looking to keep 2 mothers, clone off of mothers, veg those until they are approx 3-5 nodes tall, then top them above the first so that my plants will flower into 2 main big kolas. (See Uncle Ben's Topping Method) After topping, I'll toss them into flowering. Which hydro setup do you think would suit this well, making sure the root structure would be strong enough to hold the giant kolas up? I was thinking a good old fashion deep water culture would probably do just fine.. No?
I only really need to yield about 1.5-2oz every 2wks. Do you think I could cover this with only 1 indica-dom plant finishing every 2wks? I plan on using 400wHPS MH for veg and 400wHPS for flower.. Do you think this would cover my yield needs? Or am I going to need to run more..
Thanks!
--EDIT--
Hmm shit.. How can you run a single hydro setup, and have 4 different plants on it in different stages of growth? Doesn't that mean you would be unable to administer nutes, since each would require different?

You can always do DWC in their own buckets. Some ppl here use large cups from corner stores...throw an airstone in and put a nettop on top.
