Cultivators Cultivation High Quality Yields

ive only gone and crushed my ph meter again! thats 5 bluelab ph meters ive gone through in a year. They are really really good meters, the best ive used by far, ph still reads the same after 4 weeks no prob. But they not cheap. im going to have to learn to be less clumsy! so another £65 to pull out ($100).

meters for you and pumps for me bro lol...im on my fifth res pump in the last year

I have a question for you. i cant get the flo n gro system i want here in Canada, the other option is the ebb n gro system.my question is how big of a plant could I grow in a 2 gallon flood and drain pot?

 

[jon705]

The system can be expanded up to 48 sites but I like bigger plants so 15 sites would be ideal for me im just concerned that I will have root problems because of the small pots in this system.

how longs a piece of string? is that 8 litres? U wont get and dont want large plants in those size pots. personally i'd be looking at 1-1.5' tall and wide. the iws systems are good mate but u'd have to order from the uk thats the trouble. i use 12 and 24 pot systems. they are 21 litre buckets and u can get good size plants out of them. i rarely grow over 3' but more like 2'. they be good for scrogging. what size pots do u use in ur drip system? why are u thinking of changing?

 

[Cultivator]

just as an after thought jon. all u really need is the control bucket. u have a res and the drain lines o ur current system will hook up to the control unit. so u could change the system u have by simply removing the drippers and adding a control unit. that would be cheapest and most sensible option. why buy a full system when u have the foundation set up, unless ofcourse u are looking to set another grow away. IMO u want at least 20litre pots or bigger for ur grow style.

it seems the 2 pots at the end of the screen never drain right they are always half full and the 2 plants in them are always not as happy as the rest.I think it has something to do with the uneven floors in my basement(old house) I really like the idea of the water being pumped in and pumped out, it takes gravity out of the equasion. I bought the low profile res hoping this would help and I guess I wont know for sure until next round when the roots are under control. My style of system is as old as hydroponics I was thinking these newer systems would work better for me. idk bro im just frustrated right now lol...Im tired of fucking around with it trying to get it to run the way it should. being able to pump the water in and out would solve my problems im just not sure how to incorperate something like that into my system.

 

[Cultivator]

try putting something under bucket to tilt it slightly towards drain hole. it'll help loads. flood drain systems drain by gravity too. the control unit pumps nutes back to res but gravity fills control unit.

ahhh...I must of misunderstood then, i thought the control unit pump pumped it in and then back out again. your absolutely right bro I just need to get this system dialed in.I already have the end pots raise an inch.I thinks its just the roots that are messing things up.im sure i ll figure it out

Jon, I use the Ebb&Gro. You can push the plant size with the smaller buckets since it's hydro, but C is right, if you're gonna make monster bushes, you might want bigger buckets. That being said. My plants will have vegged in their buckets for 5(?) weeks before flipping to 12/12. I'll have to go double check my notes to see exactly how long they have been in there. My growth has not been optimal as it's a new room and I've had to dial everything in (temps mostly), so it's maybe not the best example.

If you can get CAP products there, they also make an Ebb Monster. Same system, but uses 5g buckets. I've not used the Titan system, but I've not heard a single detractor from the claim that it's the best. I will be trying the Titan in the future, but for now the Ebb&Gro is what I have and it's working for me so far.

Awesome documentary's C!
I watched that one you posted, now I'm downloading 3 other!
Killer videos with so much amazing history.
thanks for that.
tried to rep ya, but I'll get ya later bro.

 

[Cultivator]

yeah these guys really know their stuff.

Actually the titan system is and isn't a gravity feed system. It won't gravity feed until either the pump comes on in the controller or the pump comes on in the res.
There is no need to worry about the controller box ever getting wet as its sealed. I wash mine in thw rub after every grow and no issues. Plus I like the fact that it has a 3 year warranty.

yeah its pump fed but gravity drained.

I love Strain Hunters! They are editing new ones expected to come out this summer documenting expeditions to Jamaica and Swaziland+South Africa I think.
