I know it all comes down to figuring it out on my own by trial and error but Im just lookin for a staring point and some maximums and minimums. It's a 1000w light but it's on a mover, does that mean i should have it two feet away from the tops, instead of 3-4'?

Hey all I have a 4x8 ebb and flow table with a 1000w light. What's the most efficient way of setting up the light rail and light height? I have the extension installed to make it a 9 foot rail. I have flexible ducting on either side of the hood. Because it's 9 feet do I need it to pause at...

No worries, always opportunities to learn, thank you all for the responses. I picked up the 1000gal/hr today and some elbows to make sure the hoses stay above the res. I'm pretty sure my timing issues are going to end now. Again, thank you all Peace Gk

There doesn't seem to be any salt build up on the hydroton yet. I'm getting some big swings in ppm at times but it's generally going down everyday (which I understand means they are eating food). I have a Hanna constant monitor system so I'm able to keep the ph 5.8-6 all the time. I feel that...

Damn typo, it's below my table...

Hey there peoples of the Internet, I have a 100 gal res below a 4x8 table H&G nutes @ 1/2 strength Water 77 Air 78 Age 3 weeks, sweet tooth from seed 8" square pots filled with hydroton with small rockwool cubes sitting near the top Pump is a 550 gal/hr, on the web it says it's for a 50 gal...

I have a water softener, I think I've been poisoning my plants their entire little lives (4 weeks). I bypassed the water softener and added nutes for seedlings (2.5 ml/gal). At 175-200 ppm the plants we really sick looking, different from the nute burn from 10 days ago, pretty sure the nute...

I have 8 sweet tooth seedlings (4 weeks old) in a 4x8 ebb and flow. I burned them a bit about 10 days ago with the seedling strength of H&G nutes. Flushed with well water (125 ppm) for the last 10 days. I flood for 20 mins 3x/day. Ph 5.8 The plants seems to be growing slowly and are all...

Thanks for the info everybody. So, after also reading through the older posts it seems that if I added an air pump to the res it wouldn't add much more dissolved oxygen but it will keep the res clean and healthy.

Heh, I sure hope nobody would throw an air pump into a container of water. But the airpump does have air moving through a hot motor and into the res water

I know it always good to oxygenate your nute solution but the guy at the hydro shop warned against heating the resivoir using an air pump. It's a 100 gal resivoir, the pump (hydrofarm 60w) I have has an 8 way gang valve on it, I bought it from the hydro store for a past dwc grow with 8 buckets...

They are in rockwool cubes in grow rocks, ph at 5.8ish Here's a pic http://i.imgur.com/WW7jN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lx2NA.jpg I'm flushing with water this morning. Thanks!

Hey there fellow ents, I have some sweet tooth babies growin in a 4x8 ebb and flow table. 7 days in the table so far. I put them in 8" pots when I saw roots growing through the bottom of the rockwool cubes (too early?). I feed them on a timer 2x/day. It takes 30 minutes to fill to about...
