Hi Capn, So after much research and reading, I've decided to try my own recipe for tea. It is not entirely my own and is based off of combinations of things that others have done so we'll see if it works. I probably won't get your feedback until long after I've posted this so if I'm making a...

So in DWC, if you're plants are in a SCROG or if you have a system where multiple buckets are chained together and you cannot remove an individual one to swap out with a fresh one, there must be a way to install a drain with a valve. Now most setups that use tubing to connect buckets have the...

Seems like vitamin C or dechlorination tablets are the easiest, other than leaving the water out for 24 hours and hoping the chlorine evaporates. But if chloramine is used instead of chlorine, evaporation might not work. I'm not sure what my municipality uses, so I'll go with the tablets. I...

Ah! Other than passing it through an RO filter, how does one dechlorinate water? Oh also, I forgot to ask, can/should you use tea or bennies in a cloner? Anything bad about that?

Aww cool! Thanks for the link; what a great under current system in that video! Maybe I will build something like that instead of aero. You're right about the roots clogging things up. I suppose that you could add or subtract buckets as needed from that system. You'd just have to make sure...

Okay cool! Those are some very healthy and clean looking roots I must say! I actually go media-less - no hydroton, rockwool or anything. Totally bare bones. Just a plant in a 3" netpot held in place by a neoprene disk Nothing in the rez but H&G base nutes & maybe some DM Silica Maybe this works...

Awesome, thanks Capn! :) So no issues dumping the tea directly into the rez Do you apply the tea over the course of the entire grow, or just during the first few weeks of veg/flower? (I pretty much go straight to flower once clones are rooted) I imagine that once the bennies get a foothold...

The size of my room is 10x12 I have 2400 watts available but have only used 1800 I'd like to do Capn style one-pounders, but I might also try experimenting with some smaller plants too Ideally if I had everything go the way I want, I'd do five or six Capn style plants, which is probably all I...

Hi Capn, First let me say that you are the reason I joined up here :) After reading and lurking for a while, I wanted to have the ability to participate in your posts which are just a treasure trove of information! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, as well as your willingness to...

Great info Capn! I have been meaning to get into beneficial microorganisms for a while. I run both low pressure aero and DWC systems. A few quick questions: 1. Heisenberg seems to have been advocating "Mycogrow Soluble" from FungiPerfecti over GreatWhite (which he feels is way overpriced) and...
