    My Sweet 4x4 DWC Scrog Vats

    I breezed through your thread and everything looks really good! The only things I would add are some type of plastic or rubber hose clamps to your cool coils, you don't want that cold but rusty and copper water to get in your rez. An Ozone generator and/or a vaportek 4000 for odor. Not sure...

    How do you use a PPM meter for nutes?

    The ph probe on my bluelabs combo meter lasted over 2 years and was still accurate. The Ph button got a little crack on it from so much wear(they have since updated the buttons). I walked into my closest authorized dealer (which I didn't buy it from) and walked out with a brand new updated unit...

    From G-row to B-loom

    Depends on the color of the leaves when switching. If they are dark green go right to bloom. If light green go 50/50 or 75/25 in favor of bloom.

    Drill small holes on the outer rim of the bucket lid and use this wire to lst the plant when you want to change nutes just lift the whole lid.

    do these air infusers make a difference?

    DIY Chiller would be the most efficient way to add DO in a dwc system. I use a sweet spraybar return and high quality disc airstones ($7 each). If you really care about max DO go aeroponics. I like the redundancy of a magdrive pump driving the spray bar and a big air pump pushing all the...

    I got ROT :(

    I don't get why people don't run 1-2ppm of chlorine the whole grow. If you don't feel like adding a few ml of bleach every 2-3 days then buy a gallon of zone (not sure how to get chloramine or whatever chemical DM uses cheaper). My water stays at 61-63F and I have an insane amount of DO in my...
