your plants should grow just fine being misted all the time. consider it a super aerated form of dwc.

Do you fellas do anything to ease your cuttings into the colder water temps when you move them from veg to bud or does it not really matter?

that's fine...i'm taking some pics of my setup tomorrow and i'll get one started. i got your pm...i've got a spare asco stainless 3/4 i might put on there, but after this cycle i'm gonna go accumulator hp since it seems to be the most water/nutrient/growth efficient.

thanks again for the info. if its ok to throw another iwaki q at you...(in the bud room this time) i'm cycling my solenoid system right now like you suggested and with all the drippage i'm getting i'm having to recirc my nutrients. would cycling the pump instead hurt it? right now I'm...

glad to have you back. a cia spook with multiple identities kept lurking about. so i've got my iwaki 30rzt...and it puts out 4.5 gpm at 22 psi. whats going to happen if i run it constantly in my new cloning machine at only .13 gpm? bad for the pump or does it not really matter?

atomizer did you ever get that cylinder running?

the smell won't be any worse than it is now, unless youre fingering it all the time just to sniff it. honestly, it's fun to build contraptions, but you don't need the box. just hang it in the closet. the purpose of hanging pot in the dark is to allow the chlorophyll to degrade...that process...

you using ionic grow or bloom? hardwater formula? i've been considering some of their 3-1-5 but hadn't heard much about it...

no i think i was just getting my decimal points in the wrong place. i've been checking out some of the ws stuff (jacks, peters) my horticulture supplier stocks. thats all.

so i've been looking around at some of the commercial ferts around and nobody, i mean nobody even comes close to the level of iron you're using...even some iron specific stuff for poinsettias. is mj an iron specific feeder? did you notice iron deficiencies in some of your grows? just curious.

well thanks treefarmer again for posting your journal...you and fatman got me started on this hydro thing. i got my setup running and i swear i could just sit all day and stare at those fuzzy roots. you are the men.

so how tall did your shrubs get? i would think you would be increasing breadth rather than length with your system...sort of like prolixus for mj:-P

aroma in marijuana is a product of genetics, not magic elixers or soil amendments. don't waste your money fellas.

so i don't understand the necessity to mix your nutrients in solution ahead of time. could you not mix the dry ingredients together and add them to your rez by the half teaspoon (or whatever measurement it came out to be) whenever you topped it off?

don't guess. if its galvanized, you'd be better off finding a different source than trying to tap into it. galvanized doesn't develop pinholes like copper does when it corrodes...the entire wall rusts away and you're likely to bust a section of the pipe wall away if you try to drill. if its...

that makes sense...i had read about lockout in conjunction with salt buildup in growing media, but if i understand you correctly, the ions are tied up at the point of dissolution in the reservoir, if conditions are right.

so in practical terms, this increased transpiration would allow for closer light placement, correct? I'm also wondering how nutrient lockout would occur in the absence of any buildup...does it happen in the rez if your ph or formulations are out of whack?

Guys lets get some theory laid down here about hydro nutrient formulations, why they contain what they do, and how we can start mixing our own. Absolutely no soil contributions please. If you don't know the difference, please just read and don't post. here's a good primer on NH4+ toxicity to...

its not ideal, but its better than nothing. what were you using to veg with? mj (contrary to a lot of uninformed opinions around here) is best grown with about the same formulation throughout its life cycle, veg and bud. 3-1-2, 3-1-3, 3-1-4 are the ranges i shoot for. if your plants are...

maybe i'm misunderstanding your setup here, but normally in an ebb/flow you would already have your pots sitting in a bed of hydroton or some other media, unless your plants are different ages. most folks grow an entire table for a cycle and then pull the pots and plants, and then clean all the...
