    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    Not fast, but I wouldn't say slow. If you were to pull the water air lift in the controller tank and made it drain to the ground it would take about 30 minutes for almost 30 gallons to drain from system. That is a fairly large volume of water for no pumps. I would say it works with the same...

    Silica and cannabis

    Although you make a lot of valid points and true statements, it is just a beneficial element. The fact that liquid silica is made with potassium is the only problem with your evaluation of Si as not important. Biogenic Si is the inoculate carrier for microbial bacteria in soil. It attacks...

    Silica and cannabis

    The reason for this is the si will literally travel to the site to attack mold.

    Silica and cannabis

    Liquid silica is being made of potassium silicate, it is very high in ph. If you want to use silica a biogenic one like Azomite will have a neutral ph and it is great for microbes.

    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    The controller reservoir is pulling the water through a water air lift out of the last bucket, so gravity and air power the whole system theoretically. I hope this clears things up.

    they are connected to each other, I guess overflow was a bad term. If the last bucket is being emptied into the controller and the first bucket is being filled by the controller, then the water has to travel all the way through the system.

    It does, with said use of the air water lift system. the same way the drip lines work. I will take back me saying you're a moron, but you're really just not paying attention.

    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    It does.. I'm sure we could go on arguing, but there has to be one of us that is wrong. I ask you to consider what you are saying.I will even explain how the controller res works. It pulls water from the last bucket in the loop, it then fills the controller reservoir with that water, and the res...

    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    Great to have such insight. So, the water circulates from a 8 gallon controller reservoir directly connected to all of the buckets. In turn that controller reservoir is fed by the top feed reservoir, this is the one that does not circulate in the system and only tops off the controller...

    Nice! Did you freeze it and micro plane it or sieve it? Do you ever check out Bubblemans World on youtube? He is legit and has tons of videos of ice hash and dry sifting. Hash Church on Sundays! :)

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    I'm just using a scrubber inside the room. No air is vented out. Most people would say there is no air exchange, or something like that. I'm not trying to exchange air, I want to keep it in. Air will get sucked in or pushed out through every crack and crevice you think is sealed, smell is hard...

    Grow Tent Too Hot!!!

    That is just too much light for that tent. Take out the t5's, and use them for clones only. they are not needed and produce more heat than you think. If that 400 watt light isn't working for veg without the t5's , then it is just too old and burned out. What kind of ballast? How old is the 400...

    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    Are you trying to say you can't DIY a Water Farm setup? You don't know how the air water lift works? You said you used one? I have not made any DIY shit. I bought the Water Farm 8 pack. I was simply saying you can make the water flow with only air, not using mechanical pumps. If you can't make a...

    For the DIY person, you can make the air lift water line. Use it to make water flow through the system and make drip lines.

    PM on my ladies

    Use a product called Seranade http://www.amazon.com/Bayer-Advanced-Serenade-Concentrate-32-Ounce/dp/B000FOKXBW You can control PM with other methods but, this will be the only thing you will need.

    Starting seed in hydroton w/o rockwool?

    A 2 gallon bucket is not much bigger then, lets say even a 6 inch net pot. I don't see much difference, square pots are better than round too, if you want to be silly about shit.

    How long left?

    That might be a 10 week strain you have. Give it another 3 weeks I would say. You are at least two weeks away from needing to look at trichome development. I have plants starting week 5 that look like that.
