    6-8 ounces usually. At the moment I'm running a mix of "House and garden" base nutes, "Simple Grow" Root 79, "Cash crop" Cobra, "B.A.C" Bloom stimulator, "Canna" zyme, "Growth Technologies" Cal/Mag/Nit and "CyCo" Potash at 2.2 - 2.4 EC. By the end of the week the EC is down to 1.0 usually. I...

    Panda film or dimpled mylar are the go. I use panda film on the walls with strategically placed reflective "coreflute" panels to light up any dark areas underneath.

    Have you seen those "Endless Staircase" pot base setups in some hydro stores now? Supposedly the water just flows around by its self. They want $230 for a 4 plant system but I'm sure I can make one myself with some left over pavers and mice.

    Everything is grand. The batch of beer I had been aging for 12 weeks was a huge success. My tobacco smokes up great, I have too many tomatoes and there are poppies everywhere. The plants are flowering nicely, should be another great harvest. I bought some CO² enricher and a drip today. I've...

    For a cabinet that small you will only need an intake fan with a passive exhaust (holes at the top). I grew in a closet without ventilation, 2 x 400w HPS's and still managed to pull a pound every 12 weeks.

    Water always finds its own level. If properly daisy chained it will act like a conveyor belt and rapidly equalize. Once the roots hit the water you don't really need to top feed anyway. I use the 13mm system to circulate water, not feed. They get all the moisture they need from the popping...

    A. Not worth it. B. Messes up the nutrients. No good for hydro. C. Minimum 180L/min for those 10L buckets. I use one "AQUA ONE AIR PUMP 7500 360L/H DUAL OUTLET" per pot. The AQUA ONE WATER PUMP 102 MAXI 500L/H is good value and it doesn't fuck out the first time you run it dry. The 50mm...

    That plant sat in the corner with little light and still produced over half a bag. I had to put yo-yos on 7 of the branches by the end. I'm running two of these bad boys this grow, hopefully they do even better. I've planted 5 more AB seeds and hopefully I can get another male to play with to...

    The two strains I'm growing are the "Amsterdam Bubblegum" strain and my very own breed of monster I loosely refer to as "Sherbet". Amsterdam Bubblegum Description: (formerly Bubble-Funk) Bubble-berry hybrid males crossed with a Couch-lock Afghani Females produced this award winning...

    I am neither a plumber or sparky by any stretch of the imagination. Unfortunately there is not much call for a welder in an R/DWC system. While all the plumbing looks a bit intricate, the 13mm irrigation system is only used when I circulate the mixture or to inoculate with bacteria etc. Bottom...

    Hey steve, I have not tried liquid light as yet but I should give it a try. I've got them on all sorts of additives, one more can't hurt. Yes, the pots are connected by a series of 19mm pipes. The water pump and heater sits in a separate pot called a "brain" or reservoir. The water is heated...

    House & garden, Canna, Dutch master gold, or Cash Crop (organic) all great and are available at most hydro stores or on the net.

    It looks like over-watering (lack of O²) to me. More bubbles, bigger pots.
