    aquarium pump knot

    Is there a way to post a picture of the example? I am unsure as to what you are asking at this point and is 60 W too much power for your setup?

    aquarium pump knot

    Yes, it could break the pump! Sorry chubacabra, but DWC requires good pumps that will do what you need, while at the same time eliminating the need for workarounds like what you are saying :-p. I personally recommend this pump after having good results, and will ensure great aeration to your...

    Have you used

    Hey Cuervo, those nutrients are good, but while they are effective in hydroponics, there are many more effective nutrients than botanicare. The only downside to their nutrients that I have experienced is that they sometimes froth in active DWC systems where airflow is optimized and the nutrients...

    new hydro grower

    Hey trunks, the white bubbling could be from a number of things: too much airflow in your system, nutrient fall out, some kind of contaminate. Yes, a very little froth is bearable, but the reasons behind it could become a problem and should be found. If you are still active and can see this...

    nutes Q

    Sorry Fishy man, but these would be terrible for any DWC system! Yikes, your plants would want to smack some sense into you if you chose that route :-p. For all hydroponic based systems, the nutrients that go into them are specifically formulated to not degrade or fall out in a consistently...

    Worried Abour Helicopters.

    Yes, they are RF protected, but they still give off a frequency that is strong enough to be picked up :-p. The frequency is dampened though by thick walls, reflective films, etc. Hope that answered your question straight G

    Worried Abour Helicopters.

    Hey all, after working in a hydroponic store and hearing many of the stories that float around, an easy way to get busted without realizing why is from any ballast that gives off a strong RF (radio frequency). Many digital ballasts are easily detectable from the air, and that is why special RF...

    Newb DWC feeding questions

    Hey closet, while foxfarm is good, in my experience while both formulas (advanced and foxfarm) have their benefits, advanced is formulated under very strict conditions (as in pharmaceutical grade) and a company that is specifically involved with hydropoinics and very little soil. On the other...

    alum for lowering ph?

    Hey erice, I am unsure as to whether this is the right 'alum'... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum but if it is then here are my concerns. While it may correct your pH, acid and bass that are sold in hydroponic stores are specifically formulated to be used in hydro systems due to their...

    Do nutrients have a use by date?

    Also, I have used the iguana juice from advanced nutrients if thats the one you are referring too. It worked extremely effectively (I was running a few other additives in addition although bud candy by advanced could replace most of them). The only problem I had with it was that because I run a...

    Do nutrients have a use by date?

    Hey Willc, this should shed some light on your nutrients :). In short, nutrients can always go bad (despite what people say about the freshness always being there). In nature, every object that is nonliving has a half life. This means that over a time span of "t", half of its mass will degrade...

    Humidity help

    No problem man, I will be reviewing your grow journal, but what you mean about the invite? Also, if you want to see better results, make sure to remove chlorine from your water and other metals either with a detoxifying agent at such stores like petsmart or buy getting a reverse osmosis machine...

    plant mix in the same res.

    Hey JJ, so your plants definately look deficient, but surprisingly with such a small air pump you have a nice looking root system :). I think that due to your situation, it might be best to do the following things: 1) change your feeding regimen so you get a nice healthy green on your plants 2)...

    first bubble grow nute help

    Sorry DTP, I have to disagree with you because while for you personally they may not have worked, most companies have proven track records with their additives, just most customers have no idea how to use them which I agree with you on. For example, with any live culture solution from advanced...

    plant mix in the same res.

    What up JJ, hopefully this will give you some insight into whats going on! As mentioned in the other growjournal you had linked, it looks like a deficiency but if you are using the correct nutes and changing your reservoir every 3 days, that shouldn't be happening :). Can you list on this page...

    Humidity help

    Hey Cuervo, hope I can help you out with some basic information about what your plant likes and different ways to manage humidity! First of all, the humidity levels that your plant will want during veg changes as it goes to flowering. For example, an ideal range would be 50-70 (depending on the...

    Hey Nathan, no need to fret on the nutes here are some suggestions if international brands are unattainable such as advanced nutrients or Bcuzz. If you do have access to general hydroponics, there basic 3 part (bloom micro and grow) have very time tested results :)...

    Help make my grow space into a thing of beauty!

    Good to know the other details :idea: Ventilation is extremely important to your growroom, however, stealthiness is even more important. With that in mind, as much as I would love to say you should use that window as an intake or exhaust line, it is better to black it out for safety sake. A...
