++Hellraizers++ DO AND DONTs and in and outs of the ebb&grow/ebb&flow systems

cost about a buck a gallon in the end I think, well worth it, toss the bag in, empty the activator in, brew 24 hours. But make sure to fill the bucket only half full because you'll end up with a lot of the frothy stuff on the floor in the morning. top it off close to the end of brewing.

I'm pretty sure its almost identical to heisy's version, I thikn they add humic though, maybe some other stuff too I dunno

Seems simple

very, no more handling poop!

on another note, you have an hydrofarm 1/2 chiller right? has that thing ever for any reason stopped the flow of water thru it?

The xtream tea works great in the res. I haven't used it myself yet. Dumbass me gave away the big box of samples they gave me at the long beach expo. But the person I gave it to had nothing but good to say. Well except the foaming. He used 1 bag and used it for 2 changes.

man I tried 3 pumps before I decided to try to blow through the chiller. could not do, a few minutes ago I went back out and tried it again, clear as can be. must be some type of valve or something that shuts off is all I can think.

Hmm mine has never done that

hmm, ah well maybe mine never will again, now back to our regular scheduled programming, do and don't!

Here you go man. ---> http://urbangardenmagazine.com/2011/02/breeding-microbes-with-compost-tea/

That site has a ton of good info on it.

I had some gunk on my chiller coils inside the cooler tank after sitting between grows. I used warm water & a small bottle brush to manuever inside & clean.

Mr.hellraizer,

I need your help sir, I am in week 3, flooding every 3hrs/5mins lights on only. GH Flora, H202, and Pro-tekt. temps 78F. ph 5.8- 6.3. ppm 1100-1400. Rockwool set ontop pots of hydroton.

5% of my plants drooped and died. Am i over feeding, under feeding? Too much nutes? Apologies that I do not know how to put pics on here yet.

Thanks much!

flooding every 3 hours in rw blocks is a bit much (depending on size) i would back the waterings down to maybe twice a day or better yet dont water again until your blocks are dry again (much lighter to pick up) (time the period from now till then) then time your waterings around that. this is assuming thats your problem, without pics i cant say for sure.

to upload pics i usually hit the "go advanced" button next to "post quick reply" then it will re-direct you to another screen, now up at the top you will see a paperclip, hit that, now another screen will pop up and up at the top of that it will say "add files" when you are done picking the pics you want to upload just hit the "upload files" button and wait.

hope this helps and welcome to the site

What DrGreen said. Also, are you only flooding for 5 minutes or every 3 hours and 5 minutes? Little confused by that one. You should really only flood during the light cycle 3 - 4 times depending on what the plants need. Don't think the nutes would cause your plants to droop. You would see burn first.

You say you have your r/w cube sitting on top of hydrotron? If your r/w isnt touching the flood line then there not
Geting water. Tron will not wick! Bro i need pics to help more

Yoooo what's up with the Gage green test? You closed the thread? Ive only really been updating my thread(like a prick) and not looking at what everyone else is up to. What you got going now? I'm interested in seeing some new buds already! Lol

Hey insane il pm you.
