They do drink alot of water, and if you got a ppm meter than you can keep the nutrient levels up to par with this valuable tool.
If you do not have one, then I would say it would be safer to just add ph'd water until your next rez change. In this scenario a weekly change would be appropriate, especially when they guzzle down the water in the flowering stage.

I Gotta have the right tools Mang
That timer bullshit is for the birds..I aint into it.
I pumped way too much co2 in here, and then not enough,,, and then..
I got sick of it.
This co2 monitor/controller was about $350 and its simple to use.
Plug the unit in, wait for a while for it to calibrate, then plug in your regulators electrical cord into it and your done.
No more guessing on how much co2 your pumping into your room..
And it gives you accurate ppm readings in a heartbeat.
What more can you ask for?
I love my toys!!
Get one bro
You got Paper Brah.. , I seen ya crop G..LOL!!
Jump in dat truck and pick one up.

Once again..thanks for your reply~
Do you attach the buckets using the pipes, (click here for links). But, if you don't connect the pipes, each bucket is an individual, then how do you monitor the nutrient level in each reservoir? How do you add the nutrients in? Because each girl eats at a different pace, then how to monitor the nutrient levels?
Sorry for asking all these questions...this is my first time trying to create a DWC system, so there's some many things that I don't have answers to.
Thanks once again for your patience, and answering all my questions.
P.s. happy growing!

Hello jakeman,
Yup, you can overdo the c02.
I have studied co2 for weeks now and found alot of information about this awesome gas.
Will bring on some major problems if your not careful.
Human beings cannot take in more than 3000 ppm's of Co2, and plants cant either.
If you overdose your plants with too much co2, You will have problems like very dark leaves, burnt leaves.. and other bad problems. Almost like overfert.
I also heard if you run c02 too close to your harvest date it may lower the buds potency.. I dont know if this is factual or?
The toxicity to plants/humans kind of scares me.
Thats why I went out and bought this cool controller that maintains the levels for me automatically. It keeps it exactly at 1500ppm, which is ideal for plant/bud growth.
It keeps things in order.
Just plug it in, let it calibrate, which can take a while, and your off and running
alright well i think im just gonna shut that thing down for now my dehumidifier cant keep up with the amount of humidity that thing put in the air anyways and im a few weeks away from finishing and it would be a disaster to have a room full of rot cause i cant keep it under 80% with that thing running and its creating deficiencies in some of the more substitutable stains because they cant transpire right.

Hey no problem,
Id like to see more folks get into the Bucket Zone
No, I do up each 5 gallon bucket individually.
Not hooked up together.
Just straight up Hard labor... heehee!
Its good for the guns.(biceps)
I have a digital tri-meter that measures ppm(nute level), ph, and reservoir temperature.
It makes the job alot easier.
And I also follow a manufacturers feeding chart that lets me know how much nutrient I feed my plants week to week.
Cheers, CG
P.S. Im adding some various shots of my Gardens.. Veg and Flowering, cloning bucket and all that, along with the newest addition, the Northern Lights #5.
They sure grow fast!!!
There Loving the upgrade to the 430 watt hps... No more flo's for the babies, they are now teenage girls.
Lots of buckets, pumps, lights, fans and everything else under the sun is going on at my pad, and my electricity meter is spinning like a freakin CD!!! heehee!
2 bedrooms full of dank.. I luv it!!!
Fuck it, you only live once.. I keep telling myself that!

Might be a good idea to finish em up.
You should get a co2 tester at the hydro store.
There like 15.00 for the big plastic syringe w/ glass testing tubes, that samples your growroom air. Its made by hydrofarm>http://www.ecogrow.com/index.cfm/product/978/mid/16/nid/0/home.html
Yea, 80% humidity is getting a bit on the high side.
Check things out and dial her in.
Its all about trial and error,
One day Ill be happy.. Then again, I doubt it. Always fine tuning.
Have a great evening, CG

Lots to read, Hope you enjoy it.
Good luck with GH,
Its working MUCH better than the fox farms that i was previously using.
The growth rate of my vegged bubblers are finally taking off like there supposed to...
I thought they were growing fast before.
Now, There simply exploding with growth, stem has already thickened, many new shoots, radiating health.
The fan leaves are HUGE!!!
Yup, much happier running General Hydroponic Nutes Over Fox Farm.
Have a great day man

Puttin' it all together today?
Thats very cool, and Iam happy for ya bro.
Take some pics!!
Me and You been putting out the coin lately huh? .. Heeheehee!
I just bought 2 more digital timers, and a pair of am/fm radios for the veg and flower rooms.
I have the radios timed when the lights come on.
They turn on and play classical music for 3 hours, and then shut down automatically.
Had to manually turn em on and off before.
All automated now!
That GH is some good stuff Brah..
excellant results
Peace my Brother

I should be harvesting between the 10th and the 15th of next month.
Yea, I hate fucking with dirt,
I just dont have anymore room for hydro, and plus I gotta sex em yada yada...
This will be probably the last time I'll see dirt inside my home.
Except for the house plants, of course.
Iam nervous about the extra plants, and so I want these lil sucka's in 12/12 as soon as possible.
Its getting Hot eh?
Well, its warming up nicely over here too..
Summer is finally here!!! LUV IT!!!
Gotta get these computers fixed,
