    ebb n flow trays.. can you buy them anywhere?

    shower liner will rip. Go to hardware store and get pond liner or other thick rubber/plastic layering. Make a table (do a search for victor viscous and his DIY flood tables.) The only expensive parts will be the liner if you get a lot and a decent pump. Does not NEED to be mag drive...

    My reservoir STINKS

    oh ok. I have heard boosting P in flowering is one of the most valuable uses of additives. There is a thread going on right now by "uncle ben" that contradicts that theory. He seems to think people are trying to use a ridiculous amounts of the stuff thou. I am totally with PSI on this one...

    ebb n flow trays.. can you buy them anywhere?

    you can make them out of wood from a store or you can go to the hydro store and buy a 3x3 tray for about $70-100. You would do yourself a great favor to just buy a real tray. buy a $15 rubbermaid container at walmart for the resevoir $5 black spray paint for the light penetration $50 pump...

    do yourself a favor. Stick to chemical nutes, which I believe the dyna series is. The GH 3 part is also a popular cheap "chemical" nutrient. When using these you will use h2o2 to control pathogens. Since you are going to be using h2o2, enzymes, and ANY bacteria will be of no consequence 2 u...

    I cant imagine that the carbo was the problem, but it probably did accelerated it. I have never used sugar or carbs. anyone had good results?

    don't use h2o2 and hygrozyme in combo. Depends on your nutes which ones you can use. organic hydro=hygrozyme 5-10 ml/gal and only add once after flushing. chemical nutes=h2o2 3-5ml/gal addback every 3 days don't put sugar in your reservoir. Eat it. buy hygrozyme

    PPM, PH, FLUCTUATE what mean?!

    haha yeah hygrozyme is the good stuff....only wish they didnt have a monopoly on the organic cleansers dept. Anyone know if you can run sm-90 and hyrgozyme in combo? wicked root rot will DROP your ph VERY fast. I have never noticed an increase due to root failure.

    PUMP sizing in AERO

    Indeed I feel the same way about simplification. His plans are most detailed and interesting, yet almost all pvc. I guess I have just been watching and learning earl for a while now so I know he is for real. I ended up ordering the expensive male tee branches last night when I realized I...

    PUMP sizing in AERO

    ohhh i c what you mean by the valve. Earl says with mag drives overpowering should be a problem. I have an aeroflo2 60 site and even though the sprayers run up through the top you can still remove the entire spray line with ease for cleaning if needed. SOG's designs look...slightly more...

    PUMP sizing in AERO

    rhizoshere, I like that. Cant find the right fence posts so I will go for the 4" pvc round tubes that Earl uses. what do these ball valves look like that control excess flow? It sounds like a good idea, but no I had not thought of that. Currently I plan on using 2 on/off valves in the...

    king, what is this bypass you speak of. Also, I am having an issue trying to figure out these external sprayer things. I really dont want to spend $100 on brass male branch tee quick disconnect fittings. How can I do good external sprayers without the expensive T branch. The whole point of...

    PUMP sizing in AERO

    ok its been a while, but i have been doing a little research. The black tubes you use for spray lines are 1/4" OD correct? I have found the same piece you bought on another site. http://www.mcmaster.com/#cad-2d/5779k174/=111h6z $30 for 10 of these on here...ouch factor. I NEED what 60...

    ok i follow you. I remember the space shuttle uses that 4 way splitter thing from the res. yeah. I like your method better with the plumbing running parallel to the grow chambers. I hope these parts can be purchased at local hardware stores. I have the sprayers and pvc etc. I just need to...
