I checked out the sure to grow media blocks at my local hydro store. They are really light and fluffy. I think they are basically spun polyvinylchloride fibers. They are too expensive for my taste. I sent an inquiry to Aqua Resins Technology to find out if there is a current supplier in the...

Found that out just now. Was able to order online this weekend. Got email about the lack of product. Sucks. Gonna keep looking but the coarse perlite might be the answer

Water glass is used as coagulant/flocculant agent in waste water treatment plants. Waterglass binds to colloidal molecules, creating larger aggregates that sink to the bottom of the water column. The microscopic negatively charged particles suspended in water interact with sodium silicate. Their...

Looked it up. Appears there might be an issue with it bonding to the inside of the copper tubing without sufficient heat to dissipate the water molecules. Could be wrong. Although, you might be able to loosly plug both ends of the filled coil and heat in an oven at a reasonable temperature to...

Thanks pan for saving me the time. Had a feeling something in the mix was affecting it. I knew that acids caused some reactions, but not the salts. Hopefully there is some reasonably priced stainless tubing out there.

Might have just been my situation, but several years ago i used a wort chiller with a pump to cool rez solution and had this funky smell coming from inside the copper line. The coil was never used for beer ,so i could only attribute it to the nutes reacting with it. Again, could have just been...

Guess i did not explain well enough. I do like the coiled lines with a pump to cirulate the solution inside the fridge, but what i was trying to explain was using the fridge cavity as a beak in the airlines from the pump. You would basically be pushing cool air from the fridge cavity through...

If your also wanting to avoid backpressure by having the airpump inside the refrigerator, there is another solution. Keep the airpump outside of the fridge. Run lines from the pump into the fridge through holes drilled into door. This would pump air into the open space. Run lines out of...

I use the fytocell for moms only right now, because i am trying to use the shiteload of hydroton that i already have. To cover tje large drain holes in my mom pots, i use a little bit of window screen, then alternate layers od hydroton and Fytocell. Stuff is awesome.

I posted a query over at icmag about the Fytocel in the US. Try ehydroponics.com they stock it.

If your handy, you can find those small dorm room refrigerators for next to nothing on craigslist, garage sales, etc. Get a small, cheap pump, drill two holes in side of refrig. Drop pump in rez, run output line into fridge, coil about 5-8 feet of line inside and have it run back into rez...

I have 5 Big Bud seeds from Marijuana-seeds.nl and only ended up with 2 ladies. Frustrating, but expected. Gotta chop em before they blow.

You can use Heaths design, just turn the tube direction back the otjer direction when you hit the last 3 foot section. It will zig-zag back on itself instead of a continual spiral. Use 2 90 degree elbows. It will give you the last 3 feet of space as a walkthrough

Use a motion activated game camera.

I would like to say, that as a past lurker, RIU and all of the vets here have provided me with a wealth of knowledge to trudge forward and invest in this hobby. BIG props and humble thanks to all!!!!!!!!

Well, the 22 days, now 23 is from start of 12/12. From the beginning, they were using nutes and water at a pretty consistent rate. Ppms rose over a couple of days as they should, etc. I am likely over-reacting, but just noticed a change in the rate. Last night I went ahead and dumped rez...

I have Big Bud monsters that are now 22 days into flower. They are in 5g DWC/drip combo system. These bitches were drinking 3-4 gallons of water every couple of days, but for some odd reason, the water level lately is hardly moving. It took 5 days for them to use 4 gallons. Is this a normal...
