I use 10ml sharp tipped industrial syringes to inject the solution through the wrap. Just poke in and squeeze till I get some runoff. Use the same holes when needed. Should fit right through the gnat proof mesh too, without ripping it. You'll eventually need to add water if you leave it on and...

What if the plant was a true hermi? I wonder what would the XY test results would come back as?

Greee-easy!

They do make auto top off kits for aquariums that use a pump, along with special photo water sensors, etc.. Or even float switches (instead of valves). Not sure that I would trust them, though.. Not even the higher dollar premium ones. Too many negative reviews IMO. Some plumb float valves...

You don't really wanna be mixing in the main res, especially if its also the plant container, with all the roots hanging down in it. Not if you can't help it anyway. It should be okay to mix the entire 13 gallons worth of nutrients into the first 5 gallon bucket, and then fill up the rest of...

I mean.. 8 out of 10 US citizens are already consuming it on a daily basis anyway, and the Trump and Biden admins says it's completely okay now, since 2020. All the sudden it's totally fine to feed it to your kids for breakfast every morning, so why not go ahead and use on your plants too? Its...

What about this pesticide/PGR? Keep the plants small and produce bigger buds!

Its def a worthwhile add-on to have. Shouldn't need any pump to operate though, unless you're integrating dosers to your top off system, and getting extra technical with it. You can manually adjust nutes and PH in the addback solution as needed by obvserving trends, or basically just fill it...

If I do go with water cooling, I will be adding heat ex-changers and water blocks to everything in the sealed room, not just the LED lights & drivers. Including an extra radiator w/ shroud placed over the output on the dehumidifier, and also another integrated coil to suck the heat away from the...

Copy that. I see now the EB gen 3 series are lower voltage, so yeah they would need thicker gauge for the wiring, right... I was paying more attention to the dimensions if anything, to make sure whatever I get fits. I notice the occasional times I browse through the DIY LED threads you guys...

Induction brazing. Check it out! One of the tricks I might have up my sleeve If I try making the DIY coolant rails. :wink: Almost done with building a 1000w 48v liquid cooled ZVS induction coil. Not only could I melt down some aluminum scraps in a mini crucible, and cast my own little square...

https://www.digikey.com/en/htmldatasheets/production/3781637/0/0/1/bxeb-l0340u-50e0750-c-c3 So I looked around and found these slim EB gen 3 series modules, that come in a few different lengths. Only a 1/2" wide. They look pretty efficient at upwards of 200lm per watt. I would probably be...

It won't stay at 10PPM very long after you add the dose, and isn't really all that high enough to burn roots. Especially in 4 gallons or however much is in your 5 gallon pails, because it will gas off to lower levels in a day. Yep, it will shock the root pathogens alright.. I mean, what else...

I would hit the bad roots with 10ppm of regular disinfecting bleach in the solution for a few days first, and go from there. Then after you see improvement, however long that takes... start using your hydroguard, since you already got some. You can't use both together, but the HG won't be as...

As far as all the additives they want you to use.. All you really should need is the micro and bloom (basic lucas formula), and keep the PH stable. Add back as needed by monitoring the EC and water levels. Only 2 parts out of the 10+ you're using should have everything the plant needs. Maybe a...

You 100% positive its 5.8, and double checked against another known to be accurate meter or with a test? ...Probably 1/2 the time new DWC & hydro growers fail now days is because digital PH meters are notorious for being faulty, and sometimes off by more than a full point or more, or have...

:cool: Cool idea! I would make a few changes though, like using larger tubing in between the Y adapter push fittings, and as the main lines to create less restriction while increasing the flow rate. Use this kind of reducer Y fitting instead: Also, I'd rather try using this 80/20 extrusion...

With the high pressure aerocloner setup, it will effect the morphology of the root structure. You'll likely end up with an abundance of finer root hairs, all shagged out in every direction (including upwards), and more conditioned to absorbing the atomized mist.. However, if you go with low...

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02370703 Ahhh, good 'ole ethylene oxide.. one of the most toxic man made substances ever made, and still widely used today for sterilization of medical equipment and some foods, etc.. Still, takes at least 8 hours to effectively gas out all the...
