Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is much better, it breaks down into phosphorus (P), instead of chlorine (Cl).

I personally run all the way up to the end. High nitrogen causes to much foliage (foxtailing). Stopping co2 right at the start of the swell is like making a car that shuts off half its cylinders when you press the accelerator to the floor, not very smart. Instead, stop the nitrogen, give it...

No sir, you are wrong. I am not going to lay it out for you however. Go do some research and chime back in when your up to speed.

750ppm would be enough to sustain green growth provided it's balanced and providing enough Nitrogen. Your pH dropping suggests to me that you have another problem. Usually a drop in pH signals the start, or the acceleration of root disease. Upping the ppm is a good idea, dont get me wrong...

BHO will impress your balls to your couch for about 4 hours if you have the right attachment to smoke it.......

Yea, it was killing mine too. But I'm a bigger guy, and have done a lot of manual labor so, it really wasnt that bad. I will say tho, that anyone who is thinking of making bubble hash, or BHO should definitely check this method out..... SO EASY, and HUGE yield for little product...

I just tried this for the first time as well. I started with a 5 gal bucket and 220 micron screen, 40lbs of dry ice, and lots of trim. Ended up getting two giant pill bottles full of keif. Not bad for leaves....

Enzymes are a form of catalyst, meaning they increase the rate of a given chemical reaction. They do this by lowering the activation energy required to perpetuate the chemical reaction. So when you have a bad bacteria population, and give them a catalyst, they perform their metabolic functions...

Using unbuffered RO water, with a nutrient with high sulfur would be my bet (if organic decomposition is eleminated). Get yourself some Pro-Tekt.....(see previous post). Use it like you would pH up, screw the directions, just add some until your pH is correct. After a couple days it should be...

I use "mycomadness" only because it is complete, and easily available where I am. Any innoculant would work, eg. greatwhite, zho powder....there are many. Typically CO2 has to be in pretty high concentrations to effect it, basically what happens is the carbon breaks from the oxygen forming...

BTW, just looked and your roots look perfectly healthy to me lordijn.

Enzymes do not break anything down. Enzymes facilitate the bacteria and fungi in breaking down organic matter. If your using enzymes, and no good microbial innoculant, your only helping the bad microbes do their job faster.

PPM's are spot on. Almost exactly what mine run with GH micro/bloom lucas ratio. For pH to drop, there usually either has to be a high amount of Sulfur, OR dead organic material, OR your air pump, pumping too high of concentration of CO2 into your water. What type of water are you using...

You are right, you can still hear some of the mechanical noise, but it cuts out all of the air movement noise, which seems to be most of the total noise. Also, just to clarify, I'm speaking of insulated ducting, its got the flex ducting inside of a layer of fiberglass insulation wrapped in...

Everyone is going on and on about duct mufflers/boxes for your fans..... Pick up some insulated ducting from lowes. Its around $25-30 for 25'. It's amazing how well this ducting cuts the sound of my 424cfm 6" inline.....takes it down to what a 170cfm 4" sounds like on medium-low.
