My grandparents live in california and thats how thier irrigation system works. Be pretty easy... Maybe a garden hose with holes and the end capped. If its to an outdoor grow though you can follow the piping to your crop, just a thought...

I had a lot of trouble with blossom drop and they where spindly and weak vines with small leafs (should of been bigger) I didn't have a TDS tester so couldn't tell you exact ppm but it was right around 500 ppm and ph bounced around alot from 6 to 7 when it started to make fruits.. seems like...

I grew watermelons hydro once and they're picky. I had better results dirt... They drink a TON of water when they fruit. They get big long vines........ hope you know... Oh yeah! My buddy is growing indoor dirt pumpkins. Maybe with a little research it could be worth while... They drink ALOT...

Before you threw the sugardaddy away you should have tried it... Its amazing the difference if you flush with it (thats all I use it for). Its just carbs and amino acids... Same idea of body builders, they stock up on carbs... The root 66 is overpriced. I admit it does seem to make the roots...

Most common name's are top feed or drip system. be called top feed the most

I believe you mean top feed or drip. You have a pump that drips water through spagetti tubing on top of the medium then some hoses in bottom of bucket to get it back to res. could run pump all the time or a few times a day. easy DIY project, just water pump air pump and some tubing and optional...

That's where a ppm meter comes in handy. At hydroponics.net there's one for 30 bucks and they have the ph test liquid for 5 bucks. They mean add it when you your res gets low. I mix a couple gals and set the extra aside and end up adding nutes every 2 days I let it vary a gal before I add...

Actually I never thought about a bubblestone, maybe the air would help cool it? I also planned on putting it on blocks to help airflow. Thanks for the info. gonna address the heat problem first I suppose heh.

sounds like the recipie for success. I start off with the seedling step and use it for 2 wks mixed full strength (just carbs and B vits) then when you goto the veg I bump just the boost and grow down to 5ml and 2.5ml for first feeding then twice that for 2nd then full strength by third...

So I see all these cool products that have benificial bacteria. If a guy was to use these products in his res how do you keep the bad bacteria out? I'm using zone and h2o2 right now and I'd have to stop... So my res temp is in low 80s so how do I keep algea and stuff out? is there something that...

I had this mother plant (white widow) and I,ve budded out countless clones over the months and never had a problem. I put a batch in an aerogarden and one went hermie! That's all that is different same food temp place light everything just in hydro. I had probs with it smelling like a fish tank...

so using pearlite with top feed would you run it all the time or on 5 or 6 times a day?

While I'm asking. Has anyone used pearlite? I'm thinking that in a top feed if it drained fast enough it wouldn't float and work fine.... I can get that... would it keep it moist for awhile? or at least on par to hydroton

Actually the closest thing we have is a fish store. I'm going to look into lava rock, an old man told me you could get it in town. I've never been to the fish store so I'm going to go look. I'm actually a HUGE fan of aeroponic to tell you the truth. I just have a tiny 60gph pump and want to...

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried anything off the wall and had success for a medium. I'm thinking things like lego's (small block ones). I'd like to make a top feed (have made tons of aero) system but am unwilling to pay the shipping (remote island in middle of nowhere) so I don't wanna...

Hi, How many sprayers can a 400 gph pump power? 24? I heard at least 12 to 15 from one guy... Thanks

So I was looking at what people have been doing using a tote some ezclone sprayers some pvc and a pump and net pots. my question is how do new starts get thier roots wet? I watched some videos on youtube and it doesn't look like the sprayers would spray in the net pots too when roots are...

Hi, Those little 2" net pots... If they where to be used to start plants and green grow em could you get em out for transplanting? I picture roots stuck in net pot... I'd like to start in aeroponic setup then transplant to a ebb and flow.

Heck I can't spell right this second but here it goes. I sprayed my plants with neem oil while light was on and the pistols burnt.. They where like 3 wks in and just lookin nice. On a few only half is burned. Like until right down the middle. So my question is what's going to happen? Mins before...

Hi, so I've surfed the net and kept up with the LED lights and they've caught my eye. I've seen several grows where they compare a 90w led to a 400w hps and the leds have consistantly produced half of the hps. So! my question is what if I got two of those damn LEDs and cramed them into a...
