still around strains are all still vegging. they got really tall and I couldn't flower them yet so i topped them pretty low. ill post pictures soon.

any1 else? really would like more input on this!

well i am using ro water and cns17 for my nutes. cns17 has a lot of calcium and mag in it already and ive never had this problem b4. I transplanted from 100% coco to 100% coco with some hydroton on the bottom of the pot for xtra drainage. I made sure to rinse all the hydroton b4 i used it. Ph...

What do you think is the problem here? the plants are about a week into flower and most of them are showing this on their mid height leaves. ppms are at the highest 1050 ph 6.0 medium coco coir. so what is it?

Are you sure you have the old version i think I bought mine 3 years ago. The bottom of the pots were flat on the ground and the newer version has it hollowed out about 1-1/2 inches to raise them up a bit. Also old one has a total of 3 float valves and the new one just has 2. Also older one came...

yea i didn't know they existed but now im wondering if that thing will clog easily and break.

this is what google fed at me. I'm sure cap's gonna send me something similar.

raising it 1/4 in would not fix it because you would also raise the water level the same amount + filling the first hole would be a pain. The old unit came with 2 floats for the drain pump to work with but they took the second out with the new one because it was causing some really problems or...

yea i thought we were talking about the 1 inch of water left in the pots, not the controller. But you are right, the water left in the controller hasn't ever caused me problems. Actually I called cap today and the guy knew what I was talking about rite away. He said that it was their mess up and...

This is a good thread tho for EnG users. 3 years ago when i bought the system i remember the guy at the shop talking about this problem only he was saying that it was caused by an over rated pump in the controller, and that a slower rated pump would fix the problem. or maybe it was a faster...

actually i went with the minimum tubing I needed at first, and the problem existed. So i used a longer piece of tube and made it dip down a little under where it connects to the controller bucket so that the extra water would get stuck in the tube and not go back into the controller. but it...

But i think i just fixed it tho. See the bottom float switch is on an angle so that it only takes a small amount of water to turn off the switch. i just turned it slightly more verticle so that it could pump out a little bit more water and not reactivate the drain pump when the extra water in...

well,sorry, but ur deff. wrong about it being o.k. to have that water still in there. I know this because I fisrt bought this system 3 years ago and my first run with it (keep in mind that it was the older system and that they have upgraded it since then) I didnt raise my buckets and there was...

i dont have a tube going from the top of the res and into the water so it cant be syphoning! its just the small amount of water thats left in the controller isn't enough to make it to the top of the res, so it goes back down into the controller, then back up the drain tube, and back down into...

he has too many videos on there but do you understand what im getting at? the water thats in the tube (draining from the controller bucket to the res.) flows back down into the controller bucket and reactivates the pump. And when is reactivates, its not enough water to make it up and over into...
