another thing to consider is the reality of distributing the mist across the size of area fatman mentions... its nearly impossible. Likewise, you can limit the area, for mist, can be blown around by fans. If you were to put a bug screen like used in windows, and somehow vented the mist air...

why couldnt one just limit the amount of water supplied to the rotating disk? wouldnt that limit the amount of mist created? anyway the solution is simple. You panda wrap and entire basement. You cut holes in the floor of the first floor, floor. You put netpots and plants in those holes...

the degasser principle applies to adding large quantities of o2 rich air to a chamber or res, just not as efficient. People who think in absolutes instead of gray, cant understand that there is some degassing going on WITHIN THE ROOT BALL when large amounts of o2 rich air are injected to a dwc...

im sure its been covered a zillion times, but i know as people gain experience their opinions change... whats the best timer for this kind of stuff? I have capart timers. Im afraid off times dont get that short, could be wrong.

a bit of a topic change... any advice on how to "dial in" proper on/off times for 30psi mp aero? Im not so much interested in math eaquations as i am, what do i need to observe on the roots? Before the next spray, should roots have any evidence of water drops on them still? I was doing short...

i love when scientific minds say "no" and simple minds observe obvious gains. 9 times out of 10, the scientific mind will argue tooth and toe nail, but then, they get all nice, when they see the gains, and then they take the time AFTER the dispute to look for an ADDITIONAL scientific principle...

how does chlorine affect anything like B-52 (vitamins), or bud ignitor, or thrive alive (hormones)?

well, knowing what i know, i kind of bounce back and forth from the fatman chlorine usage, and then beneficial enzymes and bacteria. WHen i encounter root rot, or some unforseen problem, i start running chlorine again. Once the problem is gone, i go back to using GREAT WHITE, and other...

so chlorine has no adverse affects on advanced nutes of any kind?

fatman, so advanced nutrients "chilating" or whatever the word they use, shilates? how do those get affected by the chlorine?

read the whole thing... im not smart enough to figure out the dosage needed tho? I assume you were referring to me as the one who was correct with the bleach... tablespoon per 55gal per 3 days? only thing that worries me is im using all these expensive nutes that have beneficial bacteria...

if i remember right, fatman had a little equation for adding bleach. was it a table spoon of bleach per 55 gallons per 3 days? correct me if im off fatman, thanks what fatman is saying is.... the more important part to the equation is the difference in temp between the plants air, and the root...

been gone for a while... ive got some catching up to do. been messing with a lot of different strains... one of them either has nute burn (but i doubt it because i lowered ppm's and problem still seems to be occuring) but more likely either cal-mag deficiency, or phos def. Im thinking its...

sherriberry is the antichrist.... as far as publishing goes, hes got a story that has been building for the last 10 years. Hes going to lable it as fiction, and change everyones names. Story exposes a lot of stuff that "might" have happened, and be happening in reality... crimes by people in...

was this a joke? or is there really something out there thats a steal?
