so as I was afraid ... damn plants made me find a job and yesterday morning I was informed I'm getting a divorce . first week at a new job and ...
Harvested what I could yesterday .. culled down the 2 monsters that were just mid flower .
I didn't have the mindset to trim all day long so
Yes you can !
coco gets more or less the same results as hydro , more ph stable than Leca , yes it's a bit of work , but more forgiving than hydro and you can drip it also ... it's just less headache than hydro ... a gravity fed drip system with blumat carrots and bam easy living ... no stupid...
I see many ferts on that page say Foliar ... that means you can spray them on the plant , I think they should work also for root feeding , as it's just chemical , shouldn't clog anything either.
NPK ratios vary some by all manufacturers .. some make up their own formulas ... in coco being run...
first ... don't think aeroponics are stupid , it's just your lack of knowledge .
dwc can be as or more frustrating
your first design was more like a dwc with sprinkles ... I think aeroponics should be high pressure , anything else is just some sort of hydro
any stainless will do , res will be slightly acidic and feed EC is not exactly high ... see water is a lot more aggressive.
if you can get 316 SS it will be better than the "normal" 304
keep an eye on it , if it goes dark it means it's reacting , corrosion will be like small dimples
Re: Preparing your LECA/Expanded clay pellets/Hydroton before using it as a growing m
when you'll have nutes in the water it will spike much less , you worry too much .
other ppl don't complain about it because ... they don't check ph , they give up growing , they don't know the ways of the...
I can't help you with actual science .. some formulas you can get from google , but I doubt they will help.
The control bucket helps with mixing the nutes , measuring ph/ec , maybe cooling a bit and volume of water , more volume more stable the solution.
about pipe size ... return should be as...
as long as the plastic doesn't disolve in the nutrient solution I bet it's safer than most other recipients ... you could grow in glass ..
or grow in hemp fabric pots filled with coco coir ...
I'll juice some calmag in tomorrow with the res change .
I was worried I will not fill the 4x8ft tent with 8 autos ... wroooong it's full and lamps are at the top. I really need to get better and start defoliating things are out of control , now I have to move the mothers out of the tent...
I fkd up bad .. I'm really sick and can't do anything else than ph-ing or add some water.
I got this crap on most of the plants now. It's a middle-top fan leaf
One of the 2 late flowering bishes finally started to make buds, the other want's to get out of the tent.
Now I tolerated some...
the way I see it , light transports energy from the light source to the plant , some wavelengths will carry more energy some less , what's not in the PAR range (with further research) it's wasted to heat , the rest is used by the plant in photosynthesis so will not heat up the environment as...
Re: New Sponsor - GROWant - Product Presentation Episode #4 - G5Pro-HiPAR Series 400
not that simple , even hps don't make 100% heat out of power going in , the higher the efficiency of one light the lower is the btu/KW
