    Ppm 2000+ help!!

    I think you'd be better off mixing the peroxide at the max rate with water, and flood the roots, then see what happens. As far as yield, that depends on how much damage was done, and the resiliency of your strain.

    Ppm 2000+ help!!

    I can't really say, but I'd dose them with the 35% peroxide, then use the enzyme product. Best thing is to figure what went wrong and caused the rot in the first place (almost always excess heat), to avoid it in the future. In hydro, problems like this are best avoided, but I recently saw an...

    Need some help with Root Pruning

    Only time I heard of root pruning was when using the technique to keep a clone mother healthy, and small. In Hydro, big roots = big buds.

    Ppm 2000+ help!!

    First, you need to find out why your ppms jumped from 800 to off the scale overnight. Only 2 possible causes, someone snuck in and added something to the res, or, (more likely), your roots are dissolving due to rot and that's what caused the increase. I think it's time to use some hygrozyme...

    Recycling gro-rocks

    How 'bout if one does it right before planting, is there any need to dry the rocks??? Because that sounds like the hard part. I think the cement mixer is the best option Ive heard so far. This guy spends like $150 per grow on gravel, 3 big bags, and has a small mountain of old rocks. It's...

    Recycling gro-rocks

    Excellent thanks, I'm gonna look into a used, giant rock tumbler on ebay. Yak - According to general hydroponics' website, you are NOT supposed to clean gro-rocks with bleach (they don't explain why, but put it in capital letters). I think it reacts with minerals that get in the rocks, or...

    Recycling gro-rocks

    My friend has accumulated a massive pile of used hydroton. He's looking for a way to re-use it, WITHOUT BOILING. I'm thinking he should soak it in hot water and peroxide, followed by clearex, or something. Anyone have a good method, w/o boiling or bleach??? bongsmilie

    Water cycles

    Unless your containers are really small, you should not need to irrigate during the dark cycle. How did you decide to water once per hour? Are you watering 15 minutes per hour? This sounds like extreme irrigation, maybe you should cut back once flowering kicks off. I'm not familiar with...

    Which will produce more?

    I bet the one plant will have bigger and better buds, but the little plants might outyield it.

    Ph Dropping

    Acceptable temp for plants is NOT the same as acceptable temp for roots. Never in nature will roots remain above 70 degrees. Hydro is much different than nature. As to your ppms question: 1300-1500 is about right for a drip system, at 700 ppms you will probably have a mg. deficiency, if not a...

    Ph Dropping

    Sorry I meant 70 degrees (where is that freaking symbol?!). The 35% h2o2 has directions on the bottle, it's like 2 or 3 ml/gal, I think. Theoretically, then, you should use 10 times the amount of the 3.5%, but this would be a real shitload...and you'd be using lots and lots of it...I say get...

    Ph Dropping

    I'd try the h2o2, you should try the 35% available at hydro shops (if possible, don't get it on your fingers! ouch!). I don't believe ice is hurting anything, as far as the nutes, I'd seriously toss the compost tea, use 1/2 tsp. each of the k-silicate and cal mag, and just use the recommended...

    Ph Dropping

    When pH begins dropping like that, it usually indicates the presence of bad bacteria. Why do you have to add ice to your reservoir? How hot is this grow area? I think you need to find a way to improve your ventilation, and get temps reasonable, and see what happens. I'd lay off the organics...

    New usa president the anti christ??

    If you watch the Zeitgeist flick, you see religions are all a bunch of crap, based on astrology, and the "endtimes" prediction is just a misinterpretation of the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.

    Pot Legal In Denver?

    The citizens of Denver passed some type of voter referendum "legalizing" small amounts of weed in the city, but the cops and the Denver D.A. have stated they have no intention of listening to the people, the say weed is still illegal under CO law, and there are currently a few cases where...

    Need help designing a drip system

    OK you can just use 5/8" black tubing from home depot (the kind used for drip irrigation), you can put a valve between the pump and the drippers, use 1/4" barbs into the 5/8" tubing, with basket drippers and 1/4 in. tubing, and plug the end of the tubing with a 5/8" plug. You can use the "panty...
