Al B, in your other faq thread you say "The res just needs to stay under 27C as dissolved oxygen is lost readily at and above that temp; considering you need to hold your grow room to 25C, shouldn't be a problem." But in other threads I have read that the res must stay below 20C, 68f i think...

bump - is tap water with an EC of 0.6 OK to use for hydro? does anyone else have tap water with an EC this high? my tap water is full of fruity goodness.....

OK thanks. i'm running just water right now. i tested my tap water and it has an EC of 0.6, is this too high to use in a hydro set-up? It causes me problems as people say to start a small amount of nutes to take it up to 0.5, but my water is already higher than that without doing anything to it!

thanks charl, yes i think the leaf burn is something to do with too much nutes - could this also be causing the twisting of the leaves? its not the pH as I've been checking this and its constantly between 5.5 and 6. oh and i am getting salt buildup on the rocks but i didnt think this was...

thanks but are you sure about that? my pH has been fine I'm sure.

Hi, I hope someone can help. I had this White Rhino in a DWC system from seed on 18/6 with other seeds but they all died except this one, I think because the water temp was too high. So I transplanted this one into a Waterfarm last week and it hasn't grown hardly any. Its about 4 weeks old now...

ok good for you

thanks very much mister. i dont use an airstone yet, but i realised the pump tube i was using was not the one that came with the waterfarm, and was much longer, i think the extra length might have been the problem as it seems ok so far after i shortened it. thanks for advice about moving the...

help me please :D

i've got 2 in there, they're only little now but i imagine its going to get very cramped in there! some people will say you should only grow 1 but to be quite honest i dont care, im growing 2 and i might even stick another in there. i expect that 1 is best, it'll grow better and all that good...

hello all i have just got a waterfarm and i started using it today. the problem i am having is that this glugging/knocking noise comes from the res and the water stops coming out of the drip ring. this happens intermittently and the water stops dripping for a while. its annoying as its bloody...

yes some states provide subsidies to people to install energy efficiency measures, on the basis that they wouldnt otherwise, as the pay-back period is so long.

you obviously didnt read my post. oh well. exactly who is it looking pretty weird to? and who are you going to have to explain to? are you talking about the electricity company grow detection team?

^ ive tried this with the blue packs, but stopped as i had the problem that they float and danger damaging the plants' roots. i guess you could stick them down somehow, but i couldnt work it out. or maybe it doesnt matter that they float about, but i was too paranoid about it and quite frankly...

No. A 250w HPS uses the same as a 250w MH or 250w Fluoro. This is because they all use 0.25kwh in 1 hour. Come on guys, its not rocket science.
