It's all in the hole size I get it but I hate them... Taking them in out and moving shit. They will get older and dry out and become less playable and eventually leak... Rubber has a shelf life for a reason usually 5 years. It doesn't mean it's bad but it's not as playable as when it was first...

Ewww that word... Lol unileaks have no place in hydro. The blukheads work absolutely fine on a reg 5 gal... But you do lose about 1/2-1" on how far down you wanna put them to allow flex

Slow and steady man. How is new growth looking and some full plant pics. Bump by maybe 20% of only the nutrients. So if 400ppm of nutrients don't count the tap ppm then bump it 80ppm ish

In a 4x4 2" is plenty in my opinion. You ain't growing no trees in a 4x4 tent. But 3" can't hurt.

Agree I think he could bump ppm up a bit that's before top ups afaik so it's a really good sign. But not outa the woods.

6 is my ceiling in RDWC.... Ph down to like 5.6 now that your getting a 0.2 increase. That's good means they are eating generally. What is the ppm change in 24 hrs and did you get a lid yet?

Sounds good.... Will take some time to recover not out of the woods but that's good they are looking better. What are your air temps and humidity?

It will be dam near 0 after the RO unit. A 4 stage should have a carbon, sediment micron and DI filter. Now make sure you follow the setup instructions and flush the carbon filter for 5 min THEN put the DI filter in and flush for another 20-30 min

That's how they are set up in houses.. softener first then RO. The DI will give you maybe 1-2 ppm. Without it probably like 5-10ppm. It doesn't hurt to have the DI.

I transplanted 2 day old seedlings in my system on nov. 25th and top feed a cup of water a day until roots are hitting the water. They are doing fine the lastest pic was yesterday at 2.5 weeks from sprout The stunted one I dropped about day 3 in the system while looking for roots but it's recovering

I weight and measure ppm it's pretty dam close all the time... Just habits

Ditto

It's not high ppm if it was not softened it would be ok. But water softeners exchange calcium and minerals for sodium and that's not good for plants. OP yes you can run the softened water through the RO unit and it will be good to go.

What @ismann said you cannot use softened water unless you want dead plants https://www.amazon.com/Aquatic-Life-Reverse-Osmosis-50-Gallon/dp/B00DOG63OY/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=hydro+buddie+ro+unit&qid=1576126971&sr=8-1-fkmr1

Any other RDWC MC users here? I'm loving it

I will agree the sqaure are more ideal for bulkheads. But with bulkhead fittings you can use regular 5 gal. If you can't get the square ones. I haven't looked at the cost difference but I do run the normal 5gal pail without issue. They flex and you may lose at most 1" in how deep you can put the...

You not the average bear dude and have a good understanding of many different aspects of growing. Even if we don't agree on some of them I'm not gonna pretend like that's not true.

Planted like that there is no airflow and the plant can't transpire. They transpire from the bottom of the leaf and also create their own micro climate around the leaf without good airflow well you get it....

Its BS they tried to use it the aquarium industry and when people caught on to the false DO readings and the reaction of the emitter plates breaking down in saline solutions i guess they moved to hydro to try and make some money

No stupid bump and bad info there are so many types of pythium it's not funny and pythium is just as easy to get in cold temps. The difference is some species of pythium have a slow metabolic rate in lower temps. Not all! And it will not prevent it Fucking broscience bullshit that's just...
