    Enough DO?

    It will depend what you intend to run that on. If that's a single site you will be good.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    I totally get that... you said the electrical code gives bare minimums. I said not true safety margins are calculated into the code. The increase in efficiency is almost negligible in most applications not requiring very long runs. We are not using underrated wiring but recommended and you...

    How to make hydrogaurd a 1 time purchase

    Wow that price!!! I never thought of using it as a foliar. Apparently it can but is sensitive to light so application would need to be continual. I found an interesting read on this strain of Bacillus amyloliquefacien on the Health Canada website. Also that particular strain is not well suited...

    How to make hydrogaurd a 1 time purchase

    Its hard to find any bakery left that still uses a live culture for sourdough. I think in the city I live in we have one. best sourdough in the city none the less.

    How to make hydrogaurd a 1 time purchase

    I did this write up on another site since RUI was down for me the past couple days so i'm copy pasting it here now. Hopefully we can gets some discussion going on the topic. Hydrogaurd contains a bateria called bacillus amyloliquefacien. This bacteria acts as a fungicide and antibiotic for the...

    If it helps I use the hydrobuddy calculator. You can download it here https://scienceinhydroponics.com/2016/03/the-first-free-hydroponic-nutrient-calculator-program-o.html

    I believe they use a mixture of calcium nitrate and calcium sulfate and same for magnesium nitrate/sulfate but cannot be 100% sure. To supplement I use cal/nitrate in veg and cal/sulfate in flower same for Mag. You could also use calcium phosphate if you want to keep the sulfate down but i...

    Lower water temps without chiller?

    I have a personal grudge against unileaks so my opinion is bias. Bulk heads may cost more but its absolutely worth it. They also work on 5gal buckets, I'm running them right now and never had an issue. (my experience only) I agree with @GBAUTO if you are making new purchases totes all the way...

    Lower water temps without chiller?

    Without the consideration of pythium you will see faster growth from temps around 77F (Optimal If i am remembering correctly and i'm not a spring chicken). Bacteria also reproduce extremely well around this temp. One more reason hydrogaurd is super beneficial with temps in the 70's. I feel...

    Slow/stunted growth. First dwc

    Easy way to find out. Take the filer off remove the pre-filter and put it out in the sun all day. Better yet If there is no plastic you could even do a cookie sheet in the oven on lowest setting for several hours. you can actually renew activated carbon to an extent by burning off trapped...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Fair enough but I think the question was about what's needed not how to get 1% more efficient. The gains made are virtually negligible. And you just repeated one of my points why solid core would make a better option. I think it's common knowledge and everyone here would already agree there is...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    1) Agree. What on this is moving around more than a tiny bit at usually very few intervals a year. I addressed this in my last post it not enough to justify the need of stranded wire like robotics would. There is something wrong with the installation if this is a problem 2) Agree with this point...

    Making the switch from Soil to DWC!

    The pump is 7.5w (not much) Its magnetically driven which is much less friction and typically a much much longer life, very cheap and easy to fix if needed. What design do you recommend? I agree for heat purposes on a bugger pump there are be better design options. I understand how the...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    I' I'm not an electrician but a millwright by trade how would this make it more efficient by any measurable amount? Safer? i mean how much are we bending and moving these cables that the potential for a break is an issue? If you are I would say the system is poorly designed or installed no...

    Making the switch from Soil to DWC!

    To be honest i'm confused as hell as to how you would run a waterfall in a single bucket with res that would be any different than a regular RDWC with one bucket. I mean basically you would just put the plant into to your res bucket and call it a waterfall and have your site bucket outside...
