I've tried to have a perpetual tea running, but around the ten day mark, it turned and smelled really nasty. I've also tried doing it without the addition of molasses but it stopped developing light froth at the outside perimeter of the bucket. The froth a top is a sign of activity, 4 airstones...
The effectiveness lies entirely on the details.

Read up before spending your cash. Some principals are commonsense, others not so much.
If you think the 2" will work, I'm sure it will.
My math on it is something like this:
Drain sizes are calculated by a fixture unit which is generally 7-1/2 gpm.
Your pump is 1000 gph or ~16 gpm.
There are eight buckets so the flow will be 2 gpm per bucket.
An individual bucket with...
I like the ribbon jet, nice one! I'm gonna make one of those!
Just a 2" main drainline? You are serious about low flow. I hear you about the chillers. My workaround would be to leverage the cooling capacity of the chiller. To do this, I'd have the chiller cool a manifold. The manifold would...
It's interesting, although I prefer nn. I've not had a breakthrough trip with salvia, only grown it. Beautiful plant, very vibrant when grown with proper humidity.
I like the 1.5" uniseals, didn't think of that. Don't vacuum hoses come in that size? They would be ideal flexible bucket connectors for maximum freedom in plant placement.
As for the aeration, you could make your own clog-free jets. Basically it's a cone shaped void in the structure of the...
Yes, it is worth it. The hassle of rez changes with plants atop is something one can live with for so long. Having a single rez makes it difficult to maximize your yield's with Vscrog. As for the DO, add a venturi to that water pump and you'll have lots of DO. DIY is pretty easy, yet $50 gets...
All this talk of dmt has me want to make some!
Although if someone could clear something up. All the dmt I've experienced has been orange/reddish in color. Only 5meoDMT has been white. Is that what's being talked about here?
As for that extraction, is the naptha the paint thinner variety...
Hey Homebrewer,
What's the NPK of the Dyna-gro? Are you using their gro formula 7-9-5 or the bloom one? Also, have you experienced any mag def when using this formulation. I know it's a complete formulation, however my plants are showing magnesium deficiency unless I amp up the cal/mag. What's...
You can use 100% silicone as a sealant. It's not toxic after it cures. It's used for aquariums which is a highly sensitive environment for toxins. I've drilled holes in coolers. The marine hull fittings are probably the best way to go since they are designed to go through a thick wall. However...
Final yield 14.27 oz from six plants. bloomed out when 12" tall.
I like the system. The next run on it might include an additional tier but I think vegging longer and training the plants to the Vscrog would double the yield.
Aside from yield, with the ease of maintenance, accessibility to...
For some reason, using the glue couplings and silicone always worked for me until I started using the high powered air pumps currently available. Since then the vibration of the volume of air coming through the stones started my leaking issues. To be honest, the uniseals look like the best thing...
I think the flow would make a difference late in bloom when the roots fill the buckets - like a clogged filter on a vacuum cleaner, it still works but sub-optimally and with stress.
The flow would also effect the water temp by having the main rez in a cooler space/shaded from light/chiller...
