    Been a while

    Well....we are moved and I am back to growing, with my best set up yet..IMO. My ebb & flow tables had to go to the dump when we moved, because I did not have time to clean them, and after the root rot, well...it just wasn't worth it to keep 'em. I fucked up and let it spread, and out of 13...

    Chuck's Newb Help <--- An Educated Newb!

    Everyone on here has a internet connection and supplied a link......so everyone CAN find it, and I think for less than 20 bucks with shipping, anyone who wants to save their crop can spend for it. I use HTG all the time, have for 3 years for my outdoor (non weed) gardens, and since I moved I use...

    H2O2 user's...advice please...Al B????

    I had a LONG (like over 30 mins) talk with Roy at advanced nutrients tech today, and he confirmed that this is normal activity in an organic tank. He looked at the pics via email, and saw nothing amiss. He said I should eliminate the Mother Eart Tea, as it is known to cause these kind of...

    H2O2 user's...advice please...Al B????

    I have used H2O2 in the past as a res additive, but since I am now using some organics, I have not used it. As I have said in a prior post, I now have a bacterial infection in my res, and I am fairly sure in my rockwool as well (roots look good). I want to flush the medium/plants with a strong...

    Well....I am learning some nice new things about organic additives (particularly AN Mother Earth Tea) and the care you must take with them. I have been having a problem with one table and the plants living there having problems with yellowing, etc......roots good, but signs pointed to root...

    I need a TDS meter, any recommendations?

    I first bought this TDS meter: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CQ3W22FBL._SL500_AA280_.jpg and it lasted about 3 weeks. I then ordered this el cheapo Sunleaves meter, http://www.midwesthydroponics.com/products/images/new_hydro/scat_30124.jpg, and it has lasted almost a year now. It seems...

    Any ideas?

    pH is always the place to start....it locks out so much........here is a chart Al B posted already..........if pH is stable, then look at K and Mg, I think.....possibly too much Ca (they look like later stages of a CA tox problem I had). I dunno...just my 2centavos
