sorry, cheetos, but i call b.s. I've tried bulkheads on 5-gallon buckets from hydrofarm, home depot, and lowes. you might be able to flatten the bucket somewhat, but you'll never get a seal with a bulkhead, especially at the bottom of the wall where the bottom of the bucket will prevent you...

i still don't get how this DIY rig with threaded adapters solves the problem of the curved surface. yes, this is a known technique for flat surfaces in the absence of a bulkhead, but bulkheads do NOT work on curved surfaces, period. teeny tiny (albeit, perfectly fitting) washers or o-rings...

and you got a standard bulkhead to seal against a curved surface like a 5-gallon bucket? i think that's why the OP was asking about uniseals in the first place. they're not replacements for bulkheads, they're for a completely different application. i've only had to silicone up one uniseal...

i hear you. i just couldn't get the results i wanted with fish food alone. even vermiponics didn't cut it. i don't even feed fish or add water manually. that's all on autopilot, so i have plenty of time to shake my digestor once a day and burn off any accumulated methane. i plan to get around to...

is this what you're talking about? http://www.fernco.com/plumbing/hot-products/qwikseal those are pretty much the same thing as uniseals with the addition of the metal clamp. you can add such a clamp onto a uniseal provided the wall your going through isn't super thick. i'm pretty sure the...

for flood/drain, you have a lot of water moving between the trays and res. with NFT, drip, aero, the amount of rapid volume change in your res is minimal. with DWC, there is no rapid volume change: the bucket is the res itself or the buckets recirculate with a central res. point is, the res...

nice. what kind of a yield did you pull last time? how many watts?

uniseals differ in the fact that (1) they aren't rigid and (2) they are designed to allow a pipe to pass through a curved surface. the last time i changed a tub drain, the flange was curved to accommodate what i assume is an industry standard curve in the tub drain and sealed with plumbers putty...

i heard of it, and was actually considering doing something very similar. i tried vermiponics and didn't like it. i ditched vermiponics for the same reason i ditched this idea, which is the fact that you can't really control how much ionic nutrients come out of a given amount of organic...

to answer your question, no, i don't no of anything better than uniseals to get a watertight seal on a round/curved plastic surface. i love uniseals. they do the impossible, you just have to be very, very precise when drilling your hole (less than 1/8" off). uniseals can be a bitch if you drill...

I think they'll leave on their own once the plant dies/dries. Don't know if they leave behind honeydew like whiteflies, but if they do, washing or just bubble hashing the infected parts might be in order. At hd/lowes, they sell an organic insecticide made with different essential oils. Might add...

That's an idea, but it's not easy to dial it in to exactly where you want it. With perpetual, even if you pluck some, the others will still be sucking up nitrates, so it would take a lot to push nitrates to a high enough level to lockout other stuff. Also, all your plants would be locked out...

awesome to see more AP grows on RIU! what strain(s) are you going with? the problem i had with red worms was them not composting fast enough, so start PK rich foods early. they survive in really wet conditions, but i wouldn't say that they thrive. they did reproduce, though. i also got a lot of...

thanks, wolfman. vegging from seed for another month before going at it again. some nirvana freebee seeds and a maui wowie x blackberry in the mix. hope they're all female! also making a few mods to the system. speaking of flavor, the haze has a remarkable flavor now that it's cured for about 2...

curing is about slowly pulling the moisture out, supposedly along with the green nitrogen flavor. Jarring is about further curing the bud, preserving some moisture, as well as protecting the bud from dust, mold spores, getting knocked around, light. It also keeps the tasty volatile oils in the...

just some pics. didn't weight anything, so i can't give you numbers, but started with pretty sticky popcorn/fluff, ran it through a nut grinder to give it a coarse chop, and hit it with 2 cans of 7X filtered butane, boiled it off most of the butane, threw it in the freezer for a few seconds...
