Your water is ok although I don't personally use nutes till I see roots but hey,you got this. Co2pads? I have seen bags with fungi that release co2 but no pads
. Curious
See this
paid $11 for a 10 pack off FeeBay after my bro showed me this. Cheap chance to help cloning.

oh and I hope it is within my lifetime that we can share genetics online too! Maybe in 20-30 years? The tech is getting there surely and not even that slowly.

Dude..what are you using to monitor your bluelab guardians!!!!

I want I want!!

Straining the tea will help keep gunk down. Down sweat the DO drop. It's not dropping in your pots I'm sure.

Ph fluctuations are normal and actually a good thIng. Set it low 5.6 or so and don't correct until it get to like 6.2.

That should take several days if your nutrient concentration is right. If it changes rapidly increase nute strength. If it lowers....panic!! :)

And double check your molassis amounts in the tea.. some people add to much or don't let the tea brew long enough (24 hrs) so they end up adding sugar to the rez....that's a no no.

Did you get your pondmaster pump Yet?

Seripussy though..I want the low down on the rez monitoring

Cheers

@legallyflying Its bluelab's connect line. They also make some sweet dosers.
Here is a link for ya
https://www.bluelab.com/products/type/connect-suite

Also the Autopilot Greenhouse Master Controller is fully functional from my PC too but its wired

I strained the shit extra good this time and its much better. I got the new pump but not hooked up yet. as the other is still working ok and I'm very busy. The bubblers in the pots kick the DO back up.

When you have the time, check one of these out...


Pretty slick. Just pour.your brew through it and leave it on yop.of the bucket. By the time your ready to use again the dregs are all dry so just flip in the trash.


Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=231228412804&alt=web
Cool, I saw something like this for paint at Home depot. Wonder what micron would be best? Thinkin maybe a 500 then a 75 might do the trick. A lot easier than pouring thru a fishnet.

Also did you buy fem seeds or clones? Do you remember which clone belongs to which plant in case of male or herm traits? Food for the beer belly
I'm just doing the cloner thing for shits and giggles right now. Not planning on keeping any just testing the waters for later days to hone my skills. However I was pleasantly surprised to see roots this morning. How many if any hours a day of light should clones get? Right now I got em on 18-6. Put on timer couple days ago. Oh yea these were from fem seed stock.

You can continue 18-6 with your clones. Great finds, both you and legally....definitely all over that 5gal strainer! ATB!

I think I use 400 then 200. I'll have to check, you can Google around but if you use too small a mesh you will filter out the bacteria!!!

Plus it will take FO-EVA to drain through the strainer

Oh yeah.. bought four of the blue lab guardian connects today. :)

@legallyflying You might need to get a range extender depending on how far away your PC is or cheap internet connectable PC you can keep closer then you can get the data via Google Docs on your phone or another PC.

I was curious about the micron size of the bacteria. More study needed.
